So many on here so overconfident, I know they (Bummers) are in strife at the moment ....But
its games like these that stirs the blood in both teams...

Calf's blood?

Oh, couldn't agree more. This is just the sort of game we'd traditionally drop.

Let's just hope they've finally grown up.

We never win pressure games
Bombers by 16 points

"No prisoners!"
"Haruuuu"
"No Mercy!"
"Haruuuu Haruuuu!"

Look if we can't beat the Mexican national muscular dystrophy football team we don't deserve to play finals.

*DRUG CHEATS*
*DRUG CHEATS*
*DRUG CHEATS*
*DRUG CHEATS*

This should be the chant for the whole game.

Win, lose or draw... I just hope there's enough of us attending this game to boooooooooo the living shit out of the cheating scum

Think they won because Carlyle went forward and marked everything after Waite got injured. If they do that this week we have an extra tall to go with him.

Hopefully we are showcasing him to SOS at GWS... Him and our 1st rounder for GWS #1. Get it done!

we should start a mexican wave before the match

Where is the logic in that?
Graham was in great form consistently in the VFL. You dont bring him in, make him sub and then drop him.
That's not player management. (Mind you, that was our modus operandi earlier in the year)

If O'Keefe wants a game, he has to force someone out. You have to send consistent strong messages to the players. Games are not gifted and form is to be rewarded. Graham will play well if he is given the opportunity and he deserves the opportunity.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Whilst I agree about Graham your comments about games being gifted are off the mark. Bootsma & Yarran certainly haven't been given games on form.

I reckon Graham would be the one to make way for Garlett when he comes back next week, injuries notwithstanding.

That just gave me a good fundraising idea. Carlton could auction the "ultimate match day experience". They give you stilts and the number 11 jumper and you stroll around watching the game inside the boundary line.*

* you must contest the occasional ruck contest

..some folks have short memories.. ..or perhaps selective memories..?.. ..Krooz and Ryder battled well last game, neither beat the other.. ..yes Krooz was stuffed by late last Q, after being a huge influence/presence for the first 3 Q's.. ..not his fault mids stopped running in the last.. ..as for now being too tall, we swapped a 3rd tall for a ruck.. ..it's not like we swapped our best runner for a player that doesnt offer anything.. ..Krooz and Knockers will combo ruck and Hendo and Bolt will combo KPF.. ..one of Hendo/Bolt will often lead up [tall contested marking high HF style], and really will only feel a slight impact on lack of run up fwd when Knockers is resting, and he may be rested half the time via the bench [which he usually does].. ..Waite will be playing def from here on out i reckon..

..i reckon Krooz and either Knockers/Hammer are the best ruck combo we can have, i personally would prefer Hammer and Krooz cos both offer a little something up fwd, but alas hammer be injured.. ..i also think hendo and bolt are our best KPF combo, by a fair margin.. ..both work hard, although bolt is behind in fitness.. ..but fitness will last longer if he plays 1 role, a'la KPF.. ..ruck and kpf is very taxing, and beyond him on a regular basis at the moment.. ..Bolt as back-up ruck struggled last week, 8 hitouts for 0 to adv., yet showed plenty up fwd.. ..MM likes pack busting contested beasts, which hendo and bolt are becoming.. ..it suits his gameplan, and it's predictable for the rest of the team..

..and as for us being too tall, i think we're still shorter than the bombres' selected team..

we've seen some OTT meltdowns here, but should we lose to an Essendon* team that's on their knees, i'm predicting this will be the one meltdown to rule them all.
