Re: Round 1 Discussion

Typical Jones... Completely missing after quarter time.

Carlton are a side who score reasonably freely when their opposition drop intensity. When the intensity's up, they go missing.

Jones has found himself the right home!

Re: Round 1 Discussion

I like Morris from the Tigers but tonight, how many frees can one person give away. Don't like him playing as a forward. Pressure is good apart from that a complete liability.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

This might seem a bit academic, but did anyone notice Richmond's jumpers tonight??

Yellow and charcoal???

Re: Round 1 Discussion

Should never allow Houli that much easy ball. Ditto Grigg
There goes Mick's theory on not being beaten
They are in a world of hurt, and they just don't have great young talent either.
Typical Jones performance

Re: Round 1 Discussion

Tiges well on top. Carlton's effort has been good but their ball use is terrible. Still can't believe Carlton got Henderson and a pick upgrade for Fev. Henderson's a gem.

We skipped Henderson because we thought Grant could be a match winning key forward where as Henderson was just a role player

Re: Round 1 Discussion

Good start by the Blues, Jones has been reasonable and kicked 2 goals. Like Docherty and Menzel a lot. Poor luck for Daisy getting slammed to the deck and dislocating his shoulder a few minutes in. Deledio reported within 30 seconds. Hopefully he gets a week

I'm not sure it was bad luck. If Daisy didn't throw his arms up looking for a free kick and actually braced for contact he would have been fine.

Deledio misses a week for sure. Which is handy!

Re: Round 1 Discussion

Really interesting game last night, as they all are in round 1.

I'm not sure either side is a genuine finals contender, indeed, Carlton may find themselves in the bottom 4.

I'm going along to the Monday game, and also quite looking forward to watching Fremantle v Port and Crows v North.

I read something a while back that were trying to get him. Probably just someone putting 2+2 together and getting Henderson.

Carlton definitely are not. I think Richmond will make it.

Big weekend of footy for you.

Yep - I've been looking forward to footy starting back up. A long weekend, with an empty house and no family here to catch up with provides a good opportunity to relax and catch a few games. After we win tomorrow night there won't be anything that can spoil it!

Re: Round 1 Discussion

I'm doing a double header tomorrow. Melbourne/GC (Free ticket yay!) and then follow it up with the Dogs at Etihad. Looking forward to it!

I will be there tomorrow night. First Easter game for years as this year we are staying at home.

I can remember Clayton saying that in the interviews Grant wanted to be the 'man' while Henderson thought of himself more of a 2nd Tall type and that is why we chose Jarrod over him.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

Well poor old Rocket Eade . I bet he wasn't backing this first game, both sides making horrible mistakes and GC are the side that wanted to lose the most.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

Promising start by the dees. Lumumba( whatever he calls himself) had a blinder, and was a bit shocked Rocket didn't put a shutdown type on him. Gotta say there's a few " one way" types in the GC line up. Hogan was very impressive, as was Newton ( from Port)
