Stupid because you don't understand it.

That's ok, you don't have all the information, that doesn't make it stupid though.

If Jamo gets hurt then we're down a player and our chances of winning drop dramatically.

You think Laidler is a legitimate option on Reiwoldt?

I will not even pretend to understand the decision regarding Laids. Named emergency so wouldn't surprise if he was a late call up. Having said that if he stays out then so be it. The Bootsma selection is the one that confuses me. I know he has good reach and closing speed on a leading player but he gets rag-dolled one on one. Also thought he was pretty ordinary in the NAB GF. Panicky. Poor disposal. Poor decision making. You look through your side and look for weak links... he is the obvious weak link

AJ must be in for Cotchin. Good. Better than using Carrots in that role.

I would have played all 3 emergencies.......but that's just me, so let's see what MM has in mind. I'm sure he has a plan.

Isn't that Shane Edwards Punter? He is tiny.

Can anyone tell me whether any of our failures to win a flag in the past five years can be linked back to who we did or didn't select in round 1 that year?

If someone can point that out to me, so I know whether to sleep tonight or not that'd be fantastic. Cheers.

Chaplin to make debut for Richmond as Blues go tall
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-03-27/round-one-teams

Are these people serious? 6 talls we have, 6, yes 6.

Tigers have 7, yes 7.

OMFG I'm sick of these media outlets being so bloody lazy.

That Richmond forward line is seriously crap without Reiwoldt, nothings changed, even if they throw Vickery forward.

They have a good midfield, but if we win that battle they are stuffed, 10 goal win to us.

Lets hope Mick's defensive game plan holds up and the midfield steps up for Round 1.

Given our backline's tendency to play loose and not give teammates a chop out, I hope they don't share your view, Kenny.

Edwards seems to come up under a few teams' guard for one, and would hate to see Yarran stuck in the goal square getting cold because one of his teammates won't give him a chop out on otherwise average opponent.

Bit surprised but not fussed at the team. Although I do look forward to screaming out to AJ to know his @#$%&! limitations as per usual

We'll win.

Mick loves a late change more than any coach

I get the impression that Laids is not 100% yet. I know he has been named as an emergency but you have to remember he missed a lot of footy last year. No point risking him this early.

We'll know things have changed if AJ isnt allowed to be dragged into the back pocket and concede 3-4 quick goals

_________________

The more I reflect on it, can't help but agree. Wouldn't be surprised if he asked MM for a few weeks in magoos to get his touch and confidence in his knee 100%. He did miss alot of footy last year.

Surprised a bit.
Adds to the excitement.

Mick's made his mark and challenged a few players it seems: true to his word.
Expect him to play 35 players at a min this year...hopefully not because of injury...that's him.
He has to develop a whole list let alone best 25 and that will take time for all to learn.
I hope Webster in the Bullants knows the game plan.

I like Walker as a lead up as it makes him come to the ball and get more involved than NAB.
He should go OK on the big wwwide MCG.

No doubt I would have selected Laidler ahead of Bootsma, and Bell ahead of a couple of others.
I'd also have Waite and Scotland in too if I could. They'll be knocking on the door in 3-4 weeks.
Everyone knows their position is not guaranteed, hence the Laidler move.

I reckon there's a bit of shock factor for the Carlton fraternity behind that move. I do feel that Laidler's kicking was off in the early NAB games, and I did like what Joseph did in the NAB even moreso than Lucas but that's me. Lucas deserves his spot but he's going to have to play well to keep it.

I expect a huge improvement in form from NAB stuff from Carrazzo, Simpson, Yarran, Tuohy, Walker, Betts and Garlett. 10% improvement from those guys and we win by 10 goals. I don't expect all of them to fire but I do so from Carrazzo, Simmo and Tex.

We MUST win. MUST. Can't wait........bloody nervous too.

4 goal win for mine. Hammer will give them headaches, and so will Casboult.
