I don't think MM will want anyone taking the field who is not 100% - if there's one thing he isn't it would be sentimental, even towards Juddy!

Not too sure about that Cookie; Malthouse has a history of playing injured players in finals; Didak in 2010, Beams, Jolly and Reid in 2011.  Hopefully, he's learned his lesson and our 22 will fit and ready to go.

True.

MM has form for playing less than 100% players for a while.

Not sure if its because players play when they shouldn't because they hide it or because MM would rather pick someone who he rates higher.

Judd at 80% or better is worth playing. 
Scotland hasn't got going this season so would be inclined to leave him out.
McLean would need to be 110% fit to play as he is not quick when fit, and the tigers are a fast team.

Fingers crossed the match commitee gets it right.

Will be there with my Tiges supporting hubby. At least one of us will have a team still in the finals Monday.

Just buzzed about being in the finals at all - Go Blues !!!

Lets be quite honest, half the team probably isn't 100% fit, same goes for Richmond. You can guarantee murphy, Waite, Kruezer, jamo, etc are all carrying niggles. It's all about calculated risk. You don't play players who can't see out 100min of football

Yep bloody oath... Honestly im amazed about how little attention we have had..  We have been given no chance and its like a nothing game Richmond are already in week two..  Even that knob Cloke last night paid us such little respect.

I hope the the tigers are thinking the same thing walk in the park they are already in week two...

I got a feeling Menzal might be one of the ones left out..  MM sees Garlett and Betts as the options really cant see us carry 3 specialist fwds. 

Having said that it may force MC to play Yarran elsewhere, which based on last week its a much better option.

I reckon Richmond are banking on trying to stretch our defense they believe it where they will ultimately beat us.

Yep. Vickery, Reiwoldt and Edwards will stretch us height wise. At least there is no Bootsma this time. I guess that's why McInnes needs to play unless Duigan could take Edwards. Would be risky.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Yes it is quite puke-inducing but victory would be all the sweeter if we can pull it off! Go Blues!  >:D

At the end of this season, the joke will be:
Q.  Who was the last coach to get Carlton into the finals?
A.   James Hird  ;D

Nthmond love this week is all about Carlton hate!

We have to put up with this for decades, until this generation of sour grapes commentators shuffle off. Just about any of them who played against us from the 80s until the early 2000s claim the only reason we beat them was due to the salary cap.

Fortunately for us, EFC have done more than enough to replace us as the focus of attention. They are now convicted salary cap and drug cheats!

Not based on this article! Sounds like he is a certain starter
