Pre-Game Prattle: AFL Rd 10: Carlton vs St Kilda at Marvel

Next Sunday we play the 'Aints at Marvel in an afternoon game. The seconds are a curtain raiser.
On this week's effort, even the 'Aints should beat us.
Live Long and Prosper!

We need to get back to basics more I think and for this match let's focus a lot  more on pressure and tackling and forcing errors. This has to be how we need to go forward now - Sunday showed we will always be cut to shreds if we don't. Even the Saints could do that to us if we give them too much leeway.
Reality always wins in the end.

Aints home game, indigenous round, Sunday afternoon, I think we should get at least 27 at it, that is people not thousand!

I think "The Curiosity Show" or "Prof Julius Sumner Miller" could go there and do a special outside broadcast about how sound and echoes work?

I rang up and asked what time the ball-up was - they asked "what time can you get here?"  ::)

It's far from a certainty.  Even a win will still see us last on the ladder.  That's depressing all by itself

You're lucky they didn't ask you to bring your runners! :o

Look at the bright side, with yourself and the two teams the population of Docklands doubles!

Largely agree, except maybe Setterfield instead of O'Brien out or maybe both and Lang in as well - assuming Slimmo comes up.

We should beat the Saints, injury ravaged, very small and a meek team with no Mummy and they dont have the players to look after Cripps who will rebound and dominate.
But like I said on other threads what will that prove?

Thought of Lang, but also thought 6 changes was a big axe!!

Despite Lang's stats from the weekend, mostly it was from outside football and that would not have helped.

Our current inside midfield goes Cripps, Fisher ..........SPS........................................X

That's not to say Setterfield and others won;t come good long term, it's a statement about the now!

SPS only played 57% time on ground and I didn't sight him after about 3/4 time.  Concussion?  Injured? Might be in doubt.

I'd be only making slight tweaks rather than overhauling the team.  Bring in the blokes returning from injury, and take out blokes who are injured/giving us nothing.

Ironically o brienput in his best game of the year.

If letting blokes blow by you and not bothering to attempt to tackle properly is his best work then we have a problem...

Are you a Barista, you could make a killing selling coffees to our coaching panel, they've got stuff all else to do and will need to kill some time, mostly in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters but anytime after the first 5 minutes?
