Re: Rd 9: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs North Melbourne Reply #106 – May 18, 2016, 01:23:47 pm I think that the 'top heaviness' of North last week played against them in the finish. I'd be surprised if they went in with Daw, Petrie, Waite and Buckley, but I'd also be delighted because I think they can be exposed. Quote Selected
Re: Rd 9: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs North Melbourne Reply #107 – May 18, 2016, 02:03:34 pm I would like to see Cripps rested. He's still young and we don't want knee soreness to turn into a degenerative condition. Quote Selected

Would love if the whispers about Waite are on the money and he misses too. Surely he's due for a rest. Quote Selected

Given our personnel, if they get the ball into their forward line, they win.If they cannot get the ball into their forwardline, we win.Try to win the game out of the middle, put our best team out there that allows us to do that. Choose our best runners/users to win us this game.I agree. They'll go tall so focus on running off them. Go with our strengths rather than match there's as that may not suit us hence screw us up. Let's then worry about us rather than us worrying about them. Quote Selected Last Edit: May 18, 2016, 06:14:50 pm by laj

That's been our biggest improvement and why Bolts has already shown us his worth. Quote Selected
