Minus our two Brownlow medallist’s.
We must go hard at Carlton
Can’t treat them as a rollover or we will rollover.

Yep. No fancy football please Tiges.I'm more nervous now after seeing on paper their midfield vs ours. Cripps, Murphy and Curnow are going to dominate our midfield which is normally our Tier 2 midfield (No Cotchin or Dusty to steady the ship). This is not going to be an easy win if a win at all!
They'll get first use of the ball. Bugger bugger bugger.
We don't appear to have a player in who can turn the game in our favour when the opposition get their tails up. No one who can burst the game open for us.
Big big danger game!
Where have you been in the last 10 years timmy? It's been going on for that long to protect that dry grass.About to head in, checked the MCG parking situation, closed AGAIN. Are the council trying by stealth to remove MCG parking ?

I can't believe the govt still couldn't build a decent car park for a big ground.
Perfect time for Caddy to show us he CAN play midfield.I'm nervous every time we play Carlton. They were our nemesis during my formative years and I grew to dislike them intensely. Now I'm a lot older I don't dislike them nearly as much but I'm still very wary and know they would take great pleasure in knocking us out of the top four this afternoon.
With Dusty out my anxiety is greater. Who is going to go with Cripps now?
Will we be on our game without our star midfielder?
Are we in for a disappointing arvo as our guys are 5% off their game?
My weekend so far has been one of disappointment after disappointment.
Not the Tigers too!
I hate being in a funk!
Time for a bit of warm light to shine through this dismal weather. Carn the Tigers bring some sunshine into this/my weekend.
I usually park in Cremorne st but thinking there’ll be a quiet crowd today I thought I’d try park at the G. Silly me...Where have you been in the last 10 years timmy? It's been going on for that long to protect that dry grass.

What suburb are you coming in from? I’m coming in from Officer and it adds hours to the tripswhen training it in.Why build a giant car park for a ground in between 2 railway stations with, what, 10 lines coming in. Plus a bus on Punt Rd (yeah, I know, I've used that bus when the train is not running), plus some trams?
I've never really understood why anyone would drive to the 'G, I suppose going there for years as a kid makes me biased, but I just wouldn't want to deal with the traffic.
I reckon we have to be on today but will win. Can't afford to lose really.

I reckon that sums up your posting. A side that hasnt beaten us for 6 years 'always give us trouble'??Not confident at all today. Our greatest winning margin against this mob has been only 46pts rd 1 2017. Considering how pathetic they’ve been and how good we’ve been I’m shattered we haven’t smashed them by 100pts over that time. I’ve got Carlton in the same group as Geelong, bulldogs and north as sides who always give us trouble. Having said that, they haven’t beaten us since that infamous day back in 2013.
Well there you are, i left home at 1pm, 40 minutes drive to Cremorne st, 20 minutes walk to the G and im here seated by 2pm. Would never get that by train, id be at Caulfield by now.Drive to a station on the way and park for free there. I can't see how bashing through the appalling traffic near the 'G on game day makes any sense. How long does it take for you to get out of the 'G and on to a freeway? Train from Officer wouldn't take much more than an hour would it? Isn't that on the Pakenham line?
As I said, I am biased, 15 minutes by train to Richmond, but with Melbourne traffic and you would be on one train to Richmond I really can't see how it would be slower and it certainly would not take hours. Officer to Richmond is 1 hour going by the timetable, seriously, how do you drive from there to Richmond, park, walk to the MCG in less time? The traffic near the MCG is generally so bad you waste 20 minutes just driving the last 1 KM.
