Re: Rd23 v Port Adelaide. Reply #15 – August 27, 2013, 03:57:25 pm Thoughts from AFL site:-CARLTONThe Blues are expected to be boosted by three key inclusions for their clash with Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday. Ruckman Matthew Kreuzer (calf) and club champion fancy Andrew Walker (gastro) were late withdrawals for the clash with Essendon, while leading goalkicker Jeff Garlett (glute) is also expected to return after proving his fitness in the VFL. Others who could be promoted from the VFL include the versatile Jeremy Laidler, midfielders Dave Ellard, Kane Lucas, Rhys O’Keeffe and Jaryd Cachia. - Ben CollinsPORT ADELAIDEDom Cassisi could make his return from hamstring tightness this weekend as the Power aim to enter their finals campaign on a high. He's one of several players who will be assessed this week, including Cameron Hitchcock (hamstring) and John Butcher (hip). Paul Stewart (wrist) and Jack Hombsch (cheekbone) are also a chance, having recovered sooner than expected form their injuries. Ben Newton continued his solid SANFL form with 21 possessions and two goals, while Lewis Stevenson (28 disposals, one goal), Darren Pfeiffer (20, three goals) and Tom Clurey (21 possessions, 11 marks) were also impressive. - Harry ThringSome interesting possible inclusions - maybe a few changes will be made but we need to be better with our goalkicking whoever comes in.

I reckon Sat night killed their confidence and will be empty this week. Ins will be irrelavent. Norf will come over the top if they win coz of their %. If we lose I reckon North are morals they will throw everything at Collingwood. Quote Selected

Re: Rd23 v Port Adelaide. Reply #21 – August 27, 2013, 04:18:03 pm They're the exact same as us. A close competitive loss for us is disgraceful but for them it's going places? Turn it up. Quote Selected

Re: Rd23 v Port Adelaide. Reply #24 – August 27, 2013, 04:22:36 pm Have you seen the way they play compared to us? LMAO. I dare say it's you who hasn't watched enough of them. I'll happily sit down and watch them play for enjoyment purposes, I watch us because we are Carlton, nothing more. In fact if I wasn't a Carlton man our side is the last side that I'd choose to watch play.They've turned their compettitive losses into a couple of impressive wins in the second half of the year, we've just dropped off. So yes, our second half of the season has been disgraceful whereas they've shown, at least IMO, that they're going places. Quote Selected

Seriously who in their right frame of mind would put money on North against anyone? Quote Selected
