Round 3: Bring on the Blooos

Hawthornes pace exposed us last night.

Stop Kade Simpson and Yarran.

 

That purple patch from the bloos in the 4th were pretty good. Need to be in our very best.


Spot on, if we don't show up with the right mindset we will lose. It's going to be a very long week

 

If you dont turn up with the right mindset youll lose any game.

 

Couldnt give a ■■■■ about Carlscums 'purple patch'. Ninthmond shat themselves and Carlton capitalised as any team should.
We managed to keep the reigning premiers goal less for almost 50 minutes and dominated pretty much 3 quarters of footy (but failing to capitalise on the scoreboard), including a 3rd quarter of God like quality.
Have some confidence.

Carlton have a slow back line. Won’t hurt to go in undersized. Ambrose and one of Daniher/Carlisle will do short term. Winderlich to give us another option up forward.

In: Winderlich, Melksham

Out: Ryder, Z.Merrett

Which goes to show that dominating teams everywhere but the scoreboard is pointless.

 

On paper (which anyone can look good and things all go your way) we should win.

 

However the way we play, plays into the hands of Carlton, as they will have spare players in the backline to counteract our dominance in the contested winning ball aspects, and clearence work.

IF they don't blindly bomb the ball, we win, that simple.

IF they do, well we can and should still win, but it will give Carlton the sniff they need, and as others have brought up, in these games being the favourite isn't always the best thing.

Carlton bomb it long WAY worse than we do.

Hooker will take 52 marks next week.

Blooos are a rabble right now. We regularly upset them when they were flying high, they are a shadow of their former delusion.

Int: J.Merrett, Myers, Gleeson, Howlett

First time in a longtime that I look at this game and expect a win. Not just a win but us to thrash them.
Hard tag on Yarran and Murphy. Put a spare player behind the ball. Out number them at stoppages.

Bad comment is bad. We'll have no one to kick to if that's the case.

they get up for us, especially when theyre ■■■■.

everytime.

can't wait for this already, hopefully destroy this pack of carnts. Pack the G with red and black!

Carlton bomb it long WAY worse than we do.
Hooker will take 52 marks next week.

well then it'll be a ping pong match in the middle of the ground and no one will score :P

Out: Zerrett, Gleeson
In: Winderlich, Dempsey

Gleeson? Not sure if serious.

From friday night to sunday night, its gonna be a long week. Hate the week whenever we lose because I just want to see us back out there and redeem ourselves

A win against Carlton is a non-negotiable must given we have Freo in Round 4 in the West.A loss to Carlton will undo all the good from the Hawthorn performance and see Essendon a likely 1W 3L after 4rounds and therefore well and truly behind the eight-ball for a top four finish. Early winnable games MUST be won.In Winderlich and MelkshamOut Z Merrett, J MerrettIf Ryder not fit, then could go with Daniher and Carlisle in the ruck, bring in Pears, and play Hurley forward.


If J Merrett is dropped, I will close down my account on Blitz, and never step foot in the place again.
Seriously, watch the replay, his defensive pressure was immense.
A couple of score involvements, and kicked that first last qtr goal on the back of fine roving off the pack.
He won't be dropped !!!

Based on that head high hit? Yeah, nah. He'll be safe, tried to stop and pull out IMO.

Out: Ryder (inj), Z.Merrett

In: Winderlich, Melksham

Daniher to ruck with chop outs from Carlisle and Hooker; Winderlich and Goddard to play forward. We’ll run them off their feet.

Out: Ryder(inj), Zerret, Howlett

In: Thurlow, Melksham, Winderlich.

We need two rucks, might as well have a look at Thurlow, since we have the opportunity, then sub him late.
