2017 Rd 9; Pre Game Preparations: Carlton vs Fremantle

This week we play the Dockers on Sunday at 1640 in the afternoon, Melbourne time (1440 over in Perth).
We will not be on free to air TV in Melbourne.

As a result I probably won't be voting on this game: I simply won't be seeing enough to have a decent opinion. :(

This is a danger game for us, not the Freo are THAT good (although they are improving), but that their drive comes from Sandilands. Kreuzer does not have a good record against Sandilands. :(
Live Long and Prosper!

I think it is progress in away games against sides like Freo that tell us where we are at, if you want to climb the ladder you have to start win away games.

Interesting game and think we are in for a sneeky chance to be honest.

Pending on the ins and outs - our forward line against the Saints fell down needed that 2-3 goals from Casboult and a goal or two from Wright to get over the line. It is so disappointing they did not deliver. Pending on the ins and outs

I fancy our chances simply because we go alright in WA in general.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Our boys should be pumped to do it for Murph and Freo looked shot in the last except for the last 21 seconds... after that big high they are due for a downer

I think we are a chance if we can eek out 12-15 goals... ?

I'm not to sure about wining this one. Freo's speed and skill will overpower our youngsters in end , especially if either of Stephen Hill or Ballantyne come up, we'll get pummeled.
Our team selection is vital we need more speed. Go Baggers

If our defensive structure holds and we don't turn it over 10-12 might be enough.

Freos percentage is very close to ours.

Well at least you made me smile LP.  ;)

I reckon we are in with a chance though. Out and up 'em Blues.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

For the first time in forever you will see Lachie Neale and Stephen Hill getting pegged in run-down tackles by Carlton players. ;)

Sydney and Freo play similar styles of footy, which means that we are right in this one.
