GO BLUES!

 

[Chism]

Final teams are in...



Happy to see Waite back but who knows what his future holds.

Go Blues.

 

[Silvagnis]

Hope Sam Lane asks Mick about Waite.

 

[HARKER]

Happy to see Waite back but who knows what his future holds.

Waite at his best scares the opposition no end.

Trick is to keep him fit and focused.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Malthouse on MMM right now sounding much more professional and poised with the boys.

 

[koutamarto]

gutted that graham is sub. felt a little bit of my soul die when I saw that!

 

[Jeremias]

Not going to the game tonight.

I've barely missed a Carlton game in Melbourne over the past decade - you could count the number on one hand - but every time I do, we win.

You're welcome, everyone.

 

[The Big Sticks]

Subs: N.Graham (CAR)

Probably cuz these guys know whats what when it comes to footy and aren't asking ridiculously stupid questions.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I don't get it. Graham is a midfielder with a tank. He needs to work his way into a match and accumulate. What does he achieve by playing a quarter? His match conditioning is going to suffer. Bound to get dropped to the VFL for a full game now.

This might sound terrible, but I'm almost hoping for an early niggling injury so Graham can come on (oh god, touch wood, touch wood, nothing major, none of our guns). Don't they know our season is shot and we just want to sound out these young guys to get some hope? FFS.

 

[kanye_best]

touch wood, touch wood,

Ok. where?

 

[Chism]

I agree and at his best Waite is a MASSIVE cog in our team but i am stuffed if i know what goes on behind closed doors within the club and it is clear to see MM is putting the acid on him. All the silly stuff over the years which has seen him rubbed out previously coupled with the lack of forward line pressure when we do not have the ball have seen MM relegate him to the 2's until this aspect of his game lifts.

I love Waite and he is massive to us but given his age now and injury history and all the other aspects he just may not fit in with Micks plans going forward and while i would be sad to see him go i will always support the club and coach, that's life at AFL level though.

Big game tonight for him and i hope he smashes North.

 

[xtront16]

Just echo the previous thoughts....let Graham play!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Ok. where?

Hopefully on this bucket hands as he brings down a dozen marks tonight ....

 

[LanceRomance]

I have a feeling the blues will do well right until the end and we will have a heart breaking loss

 

[JuddsABlue]

Was hoping Garlett would be a later inclusion, has a lot more value to us than Waite

Graham the sub again is just trolling, we are killing the guy

 

[Silvagnis]

I don't get it. Graham is a midfielder with a tank. He needs to work his way into a match and accumulate. What does he achieve by playing a quarter? His match conditioning is going to suffer. Bound to get dropped to the VFL for a full game now.

Won't affect his engine if he's super fit.

Blame the AFL for the sub rule.

If Graham can't contribute as a forward/mid, then he's not going to play three quarters before being subbed off. Team balance pushes him behind Judd, Gibbs, Murphy, Curnow, Thomas, Yarran, Docherty, Bell, Robinson, Simpson and Ellard.

We should be happy that he's in ahead of Brock.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Crownies a freezin' - check
Cheezels by the platefull - check
Mrs. Numbers at work - check
Heater at Warp factor 8 - check
Kernahan Hat - check.

Carlton by 3 goals...................just got a weird feeling.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Graham sub again.

Why am I not surprised?

Ffs

We are a massive chance tonight if we stop Boomer as they lack genuine A graders but in saying that the B graders North have clearly out number us.

Etihad i hate and we always seem to struggle there against the Top 8 teams when we play them here. The old cliche will decide this and i reckon whoever kicks straighter wins this game with not much in it.

Balance schmalance, we are 5-11 and our season is shot. 1 quarter a week tells us nothing about Graham.

Oh God......

Pannell = VOMIT.

Grrrr and this prick will screw us.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Drink every time Graham is sub.

 

[passmark]

I'd have though MM would pick Graham since the North midfield isn't elite.
But he's still using his "when in doubt, pick the player with the better defensive work" routine.
