If there was one player in the comp I could put in yellow and black it would be Cripps without question.

Love to see Carlton win the flag if we don't just for him.
Yeh, just a brutal gun player. Has been since he started, has literally carried them at times.

Would never love to see Carlton win a flag regardless of who plays for them. What I would love to see is them never win a flag again.

How come no one mentions Shorty when we speak on of our midfield. Made a massive difference in the Cascading Domino effect.

Yep, it all gets back to the midfield. We have to find a way to stop the sort of midfield dominance that took 20 minutes to overhaul our lead and then run away with the game in Round 1. We don't seem to have an answer to teams that get a run-on from the middle and we need to find that, and in a hurry, as we're not going anywhere until we can plug up the game when the opposition gets going.

Cerra is a big out. He was huge in that last qtr in round 1 - 12 disposals and a goal. Hopefully the wet helps and our older bulls like nank, cotch, Prestia and co can go to work in there.

A bit rainy here (Geelong)
Carlton are quicker.
Hopefully that slows em down a bit.

Not too confident but feel we are a 24 point better Side.
 
I've gone into this game happy with the way we are tracking , very happy with the injury list
put on some multis ...

and then some nagging doubts
What could derail us ?
Hideous free kicks ?
Injuries during the game ?
They come out breathing fire and playing like men of steel ?
No Dusty ?

Yeah any could happen , but we are in a good place and could be ready to smack somebody and announce we are back :)

Go Tiges , smash em

In the wet I would love to see Mojo play. He would mow down any slow Carlton backman. He could have been a weapon tonight.

Let's remind the Blooze that we tested them out in R1, we lost, but now that they have improved, this time we are:

Feel like I've just levelled up on the Contrarian scale. :cool:

You’ve crossed a line and need to take a hard look at yourself.
If you want Cripps to win one get him to a club that isn’t Carlton Essendon or Collingwood.
