Bump

[bornadog]

Carlton easily at the moment

[Grantysghost]

Carlton easily at the moment

Going to be a tight squeeze for the 8 this year.

[Eastdog]

Getting close now. Cats are coming.

[kruder]

Surely West and Garcia can play a role like Owies, exactly what we need,next to our talls?

[JanLorMill]

Gary Rohan you dud, only kicks winning goals against us!

[macca]

carlton mid field: [13] Blake Acres, [9] Patrick Cripps, [14] Oliver Hollands


with interchange : [26] Lachlan Cowan, [27] Marc Pittonet, [7] Matthew Kennedy, [44] Matthew Owies
[12] Tom De Koning, [5] Adam Cerra,[35] Ed Curnow

Inject some youth , run and speed, with the hard tackling of Curnow, Kennedy and Cripps .
Carlton really had it over Geelong.
MacKay was huge with the last few marks in the final 3 mintues

Lewis Young did some nice things, and took a good mark in the last 2 mins.
Voss be very happy with the result tonight.

Good game to watch tonight to see the cats get beaten at the MCG. Just shows when they don't have the umpiring advantage they struggle to take the lead.

The blues are threatening to be a top 8 team, again ...

If anyone's wondering when Geelong will get its key defence back online it's round 12, 3 June.

At least it is our home game

[merantau]

From what I've seen so far we are a long way behind Carlton, Richmond, Geelong, Collingwood, Melbourne and even Essendon in game style, skills and intensity. I tell myself, "It was only the first game", but it was such an awful performance I'll be very concerned if we don't have a massive turn around against St. Kilda.

[Bulldog Joe]

Geelong almost stole that game, but if you take out Jeremy Cameron they would not have been within 10 goals.

Plenty not right at Geelong.

Premiership hangover

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Geelong will be fine (with such great disgust I say).

Missing key players in Duncan, Stewart, Henry, Kolo yet were still in winnable positions v Collingwood and Carlton.

They have games coming up against Gold Coast, Hawthorn, West Coast (Gather Round), Sydney (Home), Essendon and Adelaide (Home).

Every chance to win all of those, if not 5/6.

They might run the table in the next month on those weaker opponents but their midfield is an early watch. They are not working hard in either direction and are non-competitive in both the contests and on the spread. Their midfield needs to sharpen up and fast.

I can see them lose a couple of these winnable games in the up-coming stretch. Gold Coast, Essendon and Adelaide are danger if they aren't 100% on in the middle.
