matrix · Post: # 535297Post **matrix** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 11:22am

only one change u reckon?

whose spot he gonna take u reckon?

Armoooo · Post: # 535298Post **Armoooo** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 11:23am

Jeez, getting in early...
Will be interested to see what Carlton's changes are...
Hartlett? I think it was, is a definite out for about the next 10 weeks...
I don't see the likes of Jamison and O'Hailpin being able to keep Kosi, Roo and G quiet...
Just like I don't expect Cloke and Kreuzer/ Hampson/ O'Hailpin to be able to compete with Gardiner and King...

The Saintsational Man · Sun 23 Mar 2008 11:28am

Doesn't matter who's spot he takes.

Having him play in the left pocket to favor his left boot with Kosi playing the square will be awesome.

I tip a massive free flowing game.....i expect us to kick around 20 goals.

agree, and i'd find a spot for blake as well.

also how far away is goose?

saint66au · Post: # 535399Post **saint66au** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 1:28pm

In: Gehrig, Goddard, Blake

Out: Raph, Fiora, Jones/Gilbert

Reckon Gilbo needs a game or two with the Scorps to get his mojo back. Seems to have lost confidence in his ability to break lines

matrix · Post: # 535400Post **matrix** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 1:28pm

fraiser and BJ in for geary and fiora.
blake may come in for raph too i reckon

i like them both but atm gilbert >>> jones. more versatile, bigger and (believe it or not) a better kick.

jones's gutsy mark (which is on the back page of my herald sun) was a beauty, though.

matrix · Post: # 535406Post **matrix** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 1:36pm

imagine the arguements when bakers back and then goose from his injury.

imagine having to pick a side from the following players.
1 fraiser
2 roo
3 kozi
4 milne
5 schneider
6 c gardiner
7 king
8 hayes
9 joey
10 ball
11 dal
12 l fisher
13 s fisher
14 blake
15 gram
16 BJ
17 max
18 m gardiner
19 harvey
20 gilbert
21 baker
22 goose
23 fiora
24 geary
25 x
26 raph
27 jones
28 gwilt

glad its not my job

hotdish · Post: # 535410Post **hotdish** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 1:42pm

no way Gilbert gets dropped. Currently he is being played as the third tall, but he is more suited to a HBF or wing (tall runner position-3rd man up). When Maguire/Goddard are back in, this will release him up the ground.

He is about 5000% better than Raph, and should be a 200 game player for this club. Loved his form last year, his pace at the dome running those wings...his kicking is pretty good too...

ace · Post: # 535427Post **ace** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 2:00pm

One thing certain, after killing Goodes, Leigh Fisher will get Judd.

I see Juddas got his 30 pieces of silver but was an Easter loser again.

The_Dud · Post: # 535431Post **The_Dud** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 2:04pm

we'd wanna play alot better than last night

matrix · Post: # 535433Post **matrix** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 2:05pm

to be honest, we were the ones with ALL of our players in their forward 50 in the 2nd minute of the game

we were just as bad as them

Eastern · Post: # 535437Post **Eastern** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 2:09pm

It would be great for the club if we can top last night's crowd of 36,500. We should do it easily if the Carlton fans haven't jumped off yet.

An 18 goal to 9 goal victory would make the game a lot more asthetically pleasing than last nights match !!

Maybe but i don't hold my breath like i do when Raph has the ball...

Would love to see this team line up on Saturday

B: Gilbert, Hudghton, Geary
HB: Gram, S.Fisher, Goddard
C: X.Clarke, Hayes, Montagna
HF: C.Gardiner, Riewoldt, Schneider
F: Gehrig, Koschitzke, Milne

Foll: M.Gardiner, Ball, Dal Santo
Int: L.Fisher, R.Clarke, Harvey, King

Out: Jones, Fiora
In: Gehrig, Goddard

Pointless fact - 7 players with their surname starting with G. And that's without Gwilt in the side.

how can you possibly justify dropping Jones ahead of Raph?

saint66au · Post: # 535468Post **saint66au** » Sun 23 Mar 2008 2:30pm

So...who gets Judd??

I'd back Fish after his great job last night.....Judd's speed is nothing like what it has been so Fish's lack of it wont be as much a factor.
