    Yeah all over Sen etc that the other Curnow is now out. 

    ....and the bookies have caught on too. We’re into as little as $1.13 with the line blowing out to -40.5.

    The lawyers wouldn’t agree with you that the fees were wasted.

    And so, I advise. That will cost 1,000 Guineas for my time, thank you.

    I was going to ask the exchange rate between guineas and dubloons actually.

    Many are expecting TMac to relief ruck. 

    But Carlton’s relief ruck is McKay. 3 hit outs last week (McKernan, a perennial spud, got 8).

    So why can’t Smith relief ruck? He’s done it before. And it keeps the forward set up the same as the last three weeks, with Smith playing Weid’s role. 

    As for Tyson being dropped, a good call both for structure and to tell Tyson to work on his disposals. 

    Given the importance of a fit Tom and coming back from injury, it is fair to assume Smith has been brought in for the Weid role. 3rd key tall and relief ruck. He actually has a bit more skill around the contest too.

    Both Curnows out.

    Karma for violently attacking those poor umpires.

    Percentage.

    Indeed.

    Another 10+ goal win will put us at the pointy end.

    How sad for Carlscum ... it would almost break your heart. He'd heard that Viney was after him, obviously.

    Just put a heavy tag on Simpson. If he doesn’t get to run free and set them up from the backline, they will find our forward press very hard to negotiate.

    4 x 4 goal better quarters should be the aim. 

    Liked what Jack said about every goal against “hurts” and every goal kicked “ is celebrated” after last years near miss of finals (2 goals).

    love to see us belt them.

    Hard to see how Carlton are going to kick a score especially now, this is a team that haven’t kicked 100 points in 2 years. We’ve done it 5 times this season alone.

    Basically identical.  

    I expect a comfortable victory.  I'm also expecting to hear on the replay "this young Carlton team" with no mention of Melbourne's makeup.

    Average Attributes
      Carlton Attribute Melbourne  
    187.0cm Height 187.4cm
    84.9kg Weight 88.7kg
    24yr 11mth Age 24yr 10mth
    87.7 Games 87.9
     
     
    Total Players By Games

    9 Less than 50 9
    7 50 to 99 6
    2 100 to 149 4
    4 150 or more 3

    Interesting that despite having the same average height, age and experience, we are on average 4kgs heavier.... Got some much more solid bodies which will bode well inside.

    Loved Titus in the R9 preview:

    ”Nail this one, and they are on their way to playing finals. I checked, and there is nothing legally stopping them from participating in finals, it just feels like that.”

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
