Preview Carlton vs Essendon, MCG, Saturday 18/04/15, 1:45 PM - Changes post #573

[Lance Uppercut]

Nothing to worry about playing Carlton. They'll play one quarter tops like they have in the opening two weeks then shut up shop.

hello mate, bit of a different opinion to the one you've been spruiking on their board!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

normally I'd be really worried about this game.

But you know what? I just can't see the players relaxing after a career-near-death experience lasting two years. I'd be staggered if they weren't prepared to make every. single. second. count

 

[Charliebrow 16]

For Judd?

Just putting it out there, I don't have inside knowledge. But the rumour is awfully persistent - it's been going around all week.

Same. This should be an ass violation of the highest order.

Never said they would win, just hope they do.

Bombers by 10 goals.

ha ha ha ha ha.......

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Well there's your problem.

Haha, actually it's Carlton's problem. I'm more than okay with Walker, Judd and Simpson still being their best and most important players. Where's the development?

Your contribution to the Carlton preview (among other inane rantings)
"Not here to stir shit up.

Just hope you bury them this week. As I do every other side that plays them".

You're sort of all over the place, ringworm.

This game will tell us where out players are at. the Essendon of old loses this game, the Premiership contenders control & win this game.

Also very thankful Gwilt isn't playing.

 

[baz_machine]

Well there's your problem.

What about his hat? surely that makes up for plenty of their problems

shoulders are clearly showing the strain of carrying the team as a 31 year old with busted shoulders

 

[baz_machine]

Youre right but on that note inb4 anyone else. I think..
Ambrose* to bump him and sub him off.

*or anyone else after the shit he said.

So nobody love IUB then.

Well eventually someone WILL beat Essendon after you beg that teams supporters to do the job; so I'll reserve judgement until AFTER said event and see how you react.

[CourtzMajora]

I always worry playing Carlton, my mate who goes for Carlton told me the only thing I need to worry about is if we beat them by 10 or 15 goals haha.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Was nervous earlier in the week but as we get closer to game day I'm getting more confident no need to stress we'll shit it in.

 

[militiaa]

Stuff that. I am expecting a big win and am pumped for this game. This is the exact type of match we should win if we are serious this year.

That pretty much sums it up for me.

Contenders?! WTF?
I'm as optimistic as anyone but how in ****s name did we go from barely making finals, to premiership contenders in two games? Top four contenders i wll grant you!

What's the point of aiming for top 4 if your not aiming for a flag.

Of course the club is aiming for a flag but no one at the club would expect us to knock off Sydney or Hawthorn in a prelim.

The hope is that if we finish top 4 we can at least jag a win in the second week of the finals and get three finals experience under the players' belts.

Then another year of Carlisle, Daniher and Ambrose playing together gives us chemistry up forward to go with top notch midfield and league best back line.

Finish top 4 and a pre lim birth would be a really good result.

 

[Harlequin]

Finish top 4 and a prelim berth would be a really good result.

[fishardansin]

It sure would. I think last year's top 2 are a lock for top 4 and I would probably put Freo in that category too. It leaves ESS, Port, Norf and Adelaide fighting it out for 4th. Long way to go yet.
