It's that time and I need someone to tell me all will be ok.

[fingers]

I am really nervous about tonight's game. I feel sick,

Come on forumites - I'm begging you - put my mind at ease. It's impacting my ability to eat the 1/2 kilo of left over pasta that I brought in for lunch.

Carlton aint that good their midfeild wil be almost like for like with ours so the contest there will almost be a draw .... but its down back where the differances are ... Carlton have got nothing to stop Milne and if Kosi gets a sniff they will really be in big strife cause there isnt anyone who could match up on him.... as for their forward line they have lots of fast flashy types in Betts and Yarran but questions are often asked on their ability to lock the ball in their zone .. they will have to play a more defencive forward game other wise our rebound out of the back line will set up far too many goals for them to keep up .....

it should be a good game cant wait to see CJ vs Judd ...

"Kruezer wins it easily out of the throw in again - jeez, King is looking tired! - ball won clear by Judd, there go the after-burners! Judd, splintering kick to half-foward - Yarran!! Whoa! Carlton are all over St Kilda in the second quarter!!" "Yes, they just look too fast don't they Tim..."

If we lost, would it matter? We're 5-1, round 7.

I think any loss matters and we are basically at full strength except for Rooy but he still has 12 weeks to go. Not the end of the world but it is game a good side should win.

Of course it matters - we're playing Carlton.

I wouldn't care if we were 6-0 or 0-6, it always matters when you're playing the cheating scum.

You should feel sick, we are going to get beaten.

How did I go?

I think it matters alot.

Losing tonight would officially have us in a slump.

A poor loss to Port.
A stolen win against the Dogs.
A loss to Carlton.

That in 3 weeks isn't good.


But....a win tonight and history says we've won 2 of the past 3 with the 1 loss being a close one interstate.


Tonight is a critical game for us. Absolutely critical.

All good posts - SOMEONE TELL ME WE WILL WIN!

I'm not expecting a loss, but our previous Carlton games used to boil down to a high scoring shoot-out, from memory. I'm not sure either side is capable of maintaining that this week, so we may find ourselves in uncharted waters.

Also note, Carlton's defense is not as bad as it used to be.

Should be interesting, but I won't be stressing if we lose.

[Quixote]

We will win - a free kick tonight.

I think.

[rodgerfox]

I can't tell you that.


I'm not convinced of us this year at this stage.


A win tonight however, will relieve some of that concern.

1 game?

We've been average for the past 2. A loss tonight would mean we've been ordinary for 3 weeks and only luck preventing us from being on a 3 game losing streak.

[dcstkfc]

How's this? It's been 1385 days since they last beat us.

Oh and Hayes, Montagna, Dal Santo & Jones > Judd, Gibbs, Murphy and Joseph.

And lastly, we have the Blake.

Are you confusing 'slump' with 'losing streak'?

luck !! thats crap against the dogs we didnt win because a dud ump call ... we didnt win becuse the other team ran out of fit men .. we grinded out a hard fight and came out on top no luck involved .. give credit where credit is due we could of easily lost that game by 10 goals had we not dug in and battled hard it was pure determination and the never give up attitude that saw us beat the dogs NOT LUCK!!

and as for our loss were port Lucky to beat us ?? after all we controled the game .... seriously RF i question if you actually support this club or not ...
we were over ran by the power and they were the better team on the night same as how we over ran the dogs

[joffaboy]

If we play as badly tonight as we did in general play against Footscray, we will lose.

Our skills were appalling last Friday.

I beleive the consecutive 6 day breaks were a major reason for our tardy performance, but another like that tonight and I wont be so forgiving.

Depends on whether you see last weeks gutsy triumph as a limp wristed fluke, I s'pose.

[Saints43]

Think of those at the match should we lose...

[rodgerfox]

[quote="degruch"]

I don't think it has to be that black or white.

It definitely wasn't limp wristed in terms of effort.

In terms of execution, it was pathetic.


So although we're trying and having a crack, for 2 weeks in a row we've looked like a bottom 4 side in many areas.

And the scoreboard has reflected this.

If we're not in a slump now, we're deadset rooted if we do go into one at some stage this year.

Is that Kosi with the halo, or Zac?
