Not that it will matter much but where do you think Whitnall will line up?
Wayne Carey reckons he should play on Scotty Lucas to help give him "a bit of confidence". I can't agree with that.
The only confidence will be coming from Scotty when he walks out to CHF and see's big red with head down ready for a bath...
"your'e like a girl standing out the front of a chemist…..Too scared to go in and get the pill!"
They did beat us round one of the pre season (not that that matters too much) and they are always our hoodoo team (prelim 99 etc) when we think we should win they manage to upset us!!!!
If we were picking a margin I would think Bombers by 5-6 goals.
1-Waite. has really torn us up in recent years. expecting Mcphee or Michael to get him, Fletch on Fev perhaps. Waite and Fev may prove to be difficult
2-midfield. we are doing a lot better than last year, sure. but Gibbs, Murphy, Russell and Stevens are looking good. and if betts gets in there to negate our speed advantage a little, we could have problems there.
Perhaps if Pev can do a good stopper job on Stevens, and Mcveigh follows Betts around to tag and attack, the carlton youngens can battle it out with ours.
3-Ruck. did well against Sandi. got all the hitouts but we were there to stop their effectiveness. That said, Cloke and Ackland did a good job in the first nab cup game against us. heres hoping we were treating that as a glorified practice match.
