If you take out round 1, I reckon we would be mid table for points against.

I'll be pissed if we don't win.
Especially if we drop 2 players and bring in 3.

Yep. That would be embarrassing.
When do they announce the teams anyway?
Aren't we playing on Friday?

Pretty sure teams will be announced the day prior to games during this 20 day period BS. So probably around 6.20pm tonight Melbourne time. :thumbsup:

I can't see us winning this. It's just not something we do. But we should. Hawthorn are shot.

I agree with other TC posters that we should win this.
But I still think this has got 'danger game' written all over it.

Go Blues.
Just win!

Very grateful and feel fortunate to have the opportunity with what’s going on Vic
Of course that fat selfish prick Clive Palmer might stuff it up so make hay while the sun is shining in the West

For all the discussion about how good our defence is and how all over the place our forward line is we’re the fifth highest points against team in the league but the fifth highest scoring team.


Yeah but I reckon we would be easily the highest scores against for goals over the back, basically uncontested. We press high and get punished a lot when it gets over the top. My point is, our defenders are great, but the team defence as a whole has broken down at times.

But, we wouldn’t be the fifth highest scoring team without taking risks. I’m all for it. We play exciting fast flowing footy in an age of a lot of boring games. When it clicks we look unstoppable. We just need to clean up our ball use and eliminate the turnovers which is often when we get burned

We have improved to the point in 2 rounds we were the most exciting AFL team on the planet. I wasn't expecting that till next couple of years.

We are improving because we are developing and learning from mistakes.

You will see more about our style of play, our press, the risks we are willing to take, than we will on tv.

I look forward to a win, but also your report about the improvement in players and the game plan and risks you see we are taking with Teague as opposed to ..well none with bolton.

Good luck.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

As a self confessed nervous Nellie, I will never be comfortable going in to any game. Incredibly tough existence but it’s my reality.

Even worse now there is ‘expectations’.

I was terribly uneasy heading in to last week. A little less this week but uneasy nonetheless.

Will be there tomorrow and really looking forward to watching in person. Hope we bring our A game and get the win.

I live 10 mins away from where we are hubbing and training. A real shame I can’t take my son to see the boys but maybe in the last week with any luck.

I expect to win.

I'm rarely nervous ... other than the Druggies and Cats games...coz, against the odds, I thought we could really beat them.

I expect a different Hawks than the one we've been seeing.

The Hawks older brigade will come out breathing fire.

Can only guess that Casboult is carrying an injury and can't ruck so Moore stays to cover this role.

If there is one component of the CFC that has been a weak link since for many years, it has been the Match Committee. It does not seem to matter who is on the Committee, they still continue to make really dumb decisions on a regular basis. It would not surprise me at all if Moore was given another week. TDK is screaming out for a game, so is Fisher, so is Honey! If it were up to me, I would be giving Williamson a bit of a break and I would replace him with Honey or Fisher. I am not totally convinced about Cunningham at the moment either. Other than that, I would bring in McKay for McGovern and TDK for Moore.

However, this is probably how the Match Committee will go!

In: McKay
Out McGovern

I live in hope.


Even though we should have destroyed North, the reality is ... it was more good luck that we won in the end. I think we have lost a lot of close matches because other teams are so use to beating us, they go in with confidence even when we are favourite. Its going to take years to overcome this issue. We desperately need to start thrashing other sides. We currently suffer from the Fitzroy Syndrome!

I think Hawthorn will beat us by a few points.


Exactly as I predicted .... Match Committee is an on going joke. They have cost us games this year.

Every week you can set your watch by people online complaining about team selection. Every single week.

The Match Committee should consult TC before selecting the team :smoking:
