I sincerely hope you can rub this in my face after the game....but I think we'll really, really struggle to score.

There. I said it.

Tuohy Jamo Weitering
Simmo Rowe Docherty
Boekhorst Cripps Gibbs
Graham Casboult Kerridge
Wright Walker Lamb

Kreuzer White E Curnow

Buckley, Byrne, Murphy, Phillips


I'm not expecting us to tag under BB, but I reckon we might see these match ups at the start:

White vs Martin
Jamo vs Jack
Rowe vs Vickery
E Curnow vs Cotchin
Kerridge vs Lids

Lamb just gets the nod ahead of Whiley.

Everitt plays if Walker is too underdone.

Tutt (yes, Tutt) in if Murphy doesn't come up.

It's going to be a huge battle to win games this year and stay competitive over the next couple while our young KPs develop....

The idea of White being played in midfield again is the stuff of nightmares

I love this little seven day window between the heady hopes of preseason and the morbid realities of post round one.

It's also a chance to put the fear into tiges mates

Isn't that what Round 22 is for?

They finish with cats, pies, swans, hawks in last 6 rounds this year; that will be more than enough for them

He's definitely not a long term answer in there, but I can see him being thrown into the guts sometimes to do grunt work against bigger bodied mids (eg. Martin).

We have enough midfield depth. Whiley would be a far better option against the big body mids.
White is a trier but we need to move past triers.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

You have more confidence in Whiley than I do. I hope I'm wrong, but I see him as no more than a trier too.

After last year I'm happily with players who actually try. That'd be a step up from from the team's effort last year.

It was a Pom running the bar when I was there in November. New Zealand lamb chops were pretty good.

Mate, going to be a long season if all your posts are put downs of the club and team.

Try and stay optimistic for at least a few rounds.

As far as I can see the worry room hasn't launched (or if it has it is buried...)
I think this is a sign that there is so little expectation that there there is consequently little to be anxious about. A sign that TC, despite the history of optimistic tragics, is now uniformly grounded in the reality of a 'start from scratch rebuild'. But even as I type a tiny shoot of hope forces itself to the surface ready to be stomped...

I don't expect any wins this year, so there will be no disappointments, only (hopefully) pleasant surprises.

Richmond by plenty. Hope I'm wrong of course

Depends what you mean by "Plenty"?

I reckon Richmond will have us....... but not by like 10 goals or anything. Im thinking we'll hold our own but ultimetly youth and inexperience will get the better of us in the end.

im on Richmond by less than 39.5 points.

Richmond have HUGE Pressure on them this season. They give us Carlton supporters crap, but in the last 10 years, we've won finals - 3 of them - to their none!!!! With a team like theirs, they need to better.
