Monfries McPhee Welsh

In: Lovett Pears Dyson

Would expect Atkinson out for Lovett to be the only change, (although Pears for Jetta may also be a chance)

any reason we shouldn't smash Carlton this week?

[paddyl90]

It's Carlton. I don't think I've seen us thrash them in ages. Hoping for one this weekend but they are in good form so you wouldn't think so.

[Gatsid]

Wasn't too many seasons ago where we smashed them by 100 odd points with MJ's move up forward working a treat and kicking 6 or so goals. It was the second game between the two clubs for the season, I think it may have been 05 or 06, I think it was the year when Whitnall pulled a blinder of a 4th quarter in the first game between the two clubs for the season and won them a game that looked all over from their perspective.

No Houli But will do.

Comparing this game with 2-3 years ago is ridiculous. MJ kicking six. Back then Carlton didn't have the midfield and they do now, they have young desperate kids looking to make a name and they have few 2nd or 3rd club hacks like they had then (eg. McGrath). Not to mention Lance Fitnall, Prendergast and the rest who weren't worth a crumpet.

I'd love to see us win by a point after the siren - a flogging wouldn't hurt Carlton as much as a 1 point loss. Saying we owe them is an understatement.

At the end of the day - they have a far superior midfield (one of the better ones in the comp) but we need to hold them back, break-even and exploit their back half. The problem I see is that we got flat out one way and get caught on the rebound. Unless we improve on that I'd say we're in for a long night, especially if the Fev gets too much of it.

But, we can win - no doubt.

WHAT!? No Johns?????? Disgrace!!!!!!

or davey, dempsey and winderlich...all who I would have in a flash in our best 22.

the edge has gone off our team in terms of speed.

That joke was a disgrace...

Joke? What joke??

Lovett for atkinson and pears for rama. One of either Pears or Daniher need to be in the team at all times.

[robrulz5]

That team will be competitive even though not many "experts" give us a chance. Hopefully we can turn the tables on Carlton and beat them while they are the favourites.

[Mick]

Bendigo have named only Atkinson, Pears and Dyson from the seven interchange players named.
Hence I would expect they are the three to miss

[j-mac31]

Yep.

[BenDoolan]

Pick Pears. They're good for you.

Low GI, or so the lady on radio keeps telling me.
