Don't under estimate M Williams there, he will know exactly what is involved as a coach and mentor.
Let's not forget that Choco coached Port to the biggest loss in a VFL/AFL GF - not bad given that the league is over a 100 years old.  What does it say about your ability to get a side up for a final if your side is smashed from the start and ends up losing by 119 points?  Given that they won the PF by 87 points, that's a massive 206 point turnaround in the GF!!!!!!!
Well lets hope he uses that pre match speech again on Sunday.

Think Rob Walls made the comment a few years back that Williams was one of the most frustrating coaches ever. Could be brilliant and crap week to week.

Hope they don't bite us on the back side, not convinced that quad injuries recover so quickly.

Don't necessarily expect both McLean and Scotland to play. 

McLean has been a bit of a bogeyman for Richmond and MM might just be bluffing, hence the closed training yesterday.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

If the three inclusions are all fit then I'm happy. I'm a bit surprised Casboult was retained but good on him and I hope he goes well!
Reality always wins in the end.

Yeah, could be a late change (or two).

We need to jump them from the start to take the crowd out. It will probably be one of the loudest AFL crowds of all time.

The Juddster turns 30 on Sunday so hopefully the boys will celebrate it with a win over the Tiggers!  8)

Also a birthday for Duigs on the Saturday...he may yet replace Scotto.

McLean though seemed to be moving freely in the sneak peek Fox Footy got of the Blues closed training session so expect him to play.

Good luck to our youngsters playing in their first final  :)

Updated weather forecast is for a cloudy but dry day on Sunday with light winds....looking good!

Does anyone think that Richmond are playing a pretty static forward line? Lots of long bombs to their forward 50?

I think they have a pretty good mix. Edwards can work up the ground. As I said if anything we are a defender short IMO. Cannot understand the merits of playing warnock, Kruezer, and Cas in the same side. Cannot see it working. I would have Duigan in and Menzel out

There has to be a change and either McInnes or Duigan will come in. Unless Kreuzer and Casboult will be our permanent forwards (God help us) with Waite, Hendo and Jamo all playing down back. Can't see that happening TBH.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

McInnes has to play...we're too short down back otherwise ....IMHO ;)

I remember a few years ago we played Geelong, who played Hawkins, JPod and Mooney. We went in seemingly one tall short but we played Walker on one of them. We smashed Geelong that day by 6 goals and part of that Walker killing them running off their static talls. The 3 amigos killed them for pace that day running into an open forward line, alot coming from our run out of defence.
