Sounds like he needs a 3 month stint in Barwon prison.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Richmond are $18 for over 39.5 this week.

I'm interested, I have to admit. $3.75 head to head has merit too.

BLUES 2010: PAV AND JUDD = FLAGS. DOING IT FOR THE LOVE OF DICK PRATT.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR TALKINGCARLTON SUPERCOACH 2009 YET?

Now Hendo Or Waite will def be playing a K/P back role..........................

Im crying inside and scared whats gonna happen in the next 4 week lol

Thornton will be the big loser. He will go to full back and Henda to CHB. If we can flank them with good players we may get away with not having Jamo around.

Through all this Henda might just reveal himself as a quality defender.

I am looking forward to the rest of the season.

If we miss top4 it isnt the end of the world. We have the late bye and you would think clear in the eight. We could do a mini pre season around the Freo / Hawks game and hit the finals fresh and fit. Brush up on skills against the then tanking Saints. From there we win 4 straight in the finals and celebrate long into Grandfinal night.

The most important player in the team goneskies.

Injuries mount for the Blues and now we will find out what the rest of the team is made of.

Thornton reprimand

Not so worried. Leading into the finals we find out over the next 4-6 weeks who our CHB will be, the player who will stand up against Cloke/Dawes, Kennedy/Lynch/Darling come September. Will it be Austin, Bower, T-Bird, White, Watson, Henderson or even Carlos? Could be a blessing!

Tigers? Well we beat them undermanned in Round 1, what's changed? We're a better side since Round 1, Richmond are still driven by Martin, Deledio and Cotchin, Reiwoldt is carrying an injury and Vickery gets a couple each round. Hard tags on Cotchin and Deledio and Duigan on Martin when he ventures forward.

In: Robbo, Waite, Carlos, Curnow (If Fit), Duigan (If Fit)
Out: Armfield, Jamison, Warnock, O'Keefe (If Curnow is fit). Houlihan (If Duigan is fit)

FB: Yarran, T-Bird, Duigan
HB: Gibbs, Austin, Russell
C: Scotland, Ellard, Simpson
HF: Judd, Waite, Garlett
FF: Betts, Henderson, Walker

RCK: Kreuzer, Robbo, Murphy

INT: RoK, Carlos, Carrazzo

SUB: Tuohy

lucky

I'd be tempted to bring in White to play on Reiwoldt
defintely dont want Thornton going near him
and reckon he may be a better suit than Bower

Carlos if fit should be in too, his form pre-injury was good

got a feeling they'll give mclean another chance this week
will someone please convince me Austin and O'Keefe are good?
it's just that from the 5 or 6 games ive seen of O'Keefe I haven't seen much at all, sure he kicks well.
and Austin seems to have had a lot of chances and cant recall him doing much ever, is he worthy?

Nah Psycho, Waite will stay fwd and Hendo to go back. Hendo has hardly touched it when fwd past few weeks! Duigan or Bower to replace Aussie.

After watching White on Jack Rd 1, could T-Bird possibly do any worse? T-Bird has experience on the likes of Brown, Lloyd, Richo etc, he'll do me. Not ideal, but the best option we'll have for this week. Hendo on Vickery @ CHB a good match up for us, too.

duigan wont be ready according to him

setanta has hand injury so if thats ok he should play, doesnt matter about his form, he will hit packs hard, contest in the ruck and bring ball to ground , much better than warnock has to to offer at the moment

Agree re Carlos, he was very good when thrown in v Swannies @ SCG off a limited preparation, let's do the same this week. He told a coterie group last week that he would be ready this week.

Id play setanta fullback!i rated him there a few years ago!

why not play watson?
i believe ''SOME'' game time is a good thing for him.
jamison goes down, what happens if thornton goes down also? do we just throw him to the wolves again????
white and austin???? not sure.
tigers, bulldogs, Essendon* and north, would be a good chance for him to play on the second or third tall.
we need henderson and waite up forward, as shown on the weekend.
lucas should get a chance also.
just my thoughts.

My old man was in a pessimistic mood like a lot on here, writing off our top four chances after our third loss of the year. He was looking over the fixtures for the Coasters and the Hawks, basically saying they'll win 7-8 each and we'll get stuck in Perth in week two of the finals ... if we even make it that far.

So - a little perspective.
The top four over the past four years have looked like this in terms of points:
2010 - 70, 68, 62, 56
2009 - 80, 72, 60, 60
2008 - 84, 68, 62, 52
2007 - 72, 60, 60, 56

Moral of the story is - with 9.5 wins already on the board and 9 games to go - we need 5 wins to push past the 14 wins barrier and, if recent history is worth anything at all, we'll finish top four. We need 5 out of 9. It's not a huge ask.

Plus, we have five games against bottom eight teams to go - Tigers, Dogs, Bombers (feels good!), Roos and Saints. Plus winnable games against the Hawks and the Dees. So whilst injuries and fatigue are a bit of a concern, it's still so much ours to lose. In fact, if we drop any of those games, it will be well and truly our fault.

Just trying to make those glasses look half-full, after a rough 24 hrs.
A win against the Tigers this week and we'll be back in the groove!

Always like listening to hear what Craig Bradley had to say.

Well said CB and welcome aboard to TC
