Hope to be attending this game just for a look at the players from both and also watch the boys play to see how we are tracking etc.
Lycett, Yeo, Cripps, Watson, Boekhorst. Those are a few that spring to mind.
couldn't care I find this game nearly fantasy irrelivent Cripps and maybe watching who runs off half back for West Coast maybe Butler for a smokie

First thing i noticed... Considering he is meant to be fit and firing. maybe just putting in cotton wool for a bit longer..

A ruckman with a bad back at this stage of the season is not ideal.
Wanted to see what Corey adamson can do purely from a eagles fan perspective ...
From fantasy view not really interested in Duggan and cavka as they will not crack the side with any consistency this season... Lamb will
However I feel
Really wishing we would see Murray Newman playing ... He is the missing link in our side ....
Really looking forward to see if Sinclair outshines Lycett again, would love Sinclair to become clear second ruck at the Eagles and thus I would be picking him in every fantasy game
Go Eagles! Only nab but will
Enjoy seeing us dish out the first massacre of the season In any case :p
Keeping an eye on Sinclair as well
Another player I think is a bit of a smokie pick for the fantasy games is Wellingham ... That is without looking at his scoring stats in the past at all
It will be interesting to see where Buckley plays. I read he was training with the forward group at times and that could be due to a lack of crumbing options and the pace he brings.

He will be right... Lock him in your Fantasy, DT and Supercoach side.
West coast by 58 points
Carlton by 31
Boekhurst, Rainbow and Dick to suprise many and all push for round 1 with Lamb being bog.
looked pretty windy
JJK first goal = lock.
Wellingham stayed pretty well
My stream quality is shower. :'(
ily Eric.
Carlton, please play Clem in the regular season!
And that is why Carlton de-listed Lucas
1/4 time #NABChallenge Priddis 38, JJ Kennedy 36, Masten 36, Yarran 35, Cripps 30 and Gaff 27 #SuperCoach points
Quarter 1.
Would rather SINCLAIR over lycett.
And that's why Priddis is my first picked. ;)
Jesus, carlton/carltank really took fielding depth in the NAB to a whole new level. Or is their team just that shower? :P

I'm not even watching and could tell you this, Sinkers for HoF
Eric subbed out with a knee injury I think. :'(
BARRASS WHEN
Hope and pray macca is alright :/ critical to our season
Priddis is an absolute lock in my midfield now ... Give the bloke a brownlow !!!!

Get on board before it's too late!
Just love how my stream starts working at half time ::)
Simon White....is he worth a shot?...as a back of course
Rainbow hasn't touched the footy. But dick looks like he could be a good rookie in defence
Tweet and Dick look good, thinking both are in with a good shot of playing Round 1.
Quarter 2.
I pick SINCLAIR over lycett again
Sorry rainbow is the sub my bad

of course :-[
Have both of them in my side currently.
"Callum Sinclair has 12 hitouts from his 14 ruck contests, six of which have gone to a teammate's advantage." From AFL website.
At the game and Jamie Cripps forward pressure is bloody good
Rainbow doesn't seem likely for R1 being sub in this match. Tweet has looked alright, but doesn't seem to score well in SC. Can see him averaging more that 60-70. Dick looks the best option so far outside of Cripps who if he continues with this over the full Nab cup will probably be in my team..
A Big Woody..get excited

Dick won't get a game round 1. Carlton are missing a lot of their midfield and he isn't playing off half back

Priddis 125
Masten 117
Le Cras 117
CARLTON
Curnow 121
Cripps 78
Dick 36
Boekhorst 29
Shepp played really well
Hope Eric is ok really worried if we lose him for an extended period

He didn't do anything either. When he was near it he turned it over most of the time and barely got near it.
My thoughts on the Carlton guys, Yaz looked good roaming off half back, but then he was thrown forward which is why I am avoiding him in SC (that and the injury he is guaranteed to get at some point in the year).
Simmo looked like he had more of the ball then what he was credited
Bell looked like a beast but butchered the ball. He still hasn't cleaned up his disposal.
Apart from that one run Boekhorst didn't really do much and struggled to have an impact. If he doesn't star in one of the next couple of games he will either get the vest or start the season in the VFL with Carlton to include 4 or 5 first choice mids later on.
Docherty was really quiet, he struggled to get near it as did most of his team mates.
Holy crap Tutt is horrid. I knew he wasn't great at the Dogs but he was shocking. He would want to have a big turnaround or he can have fun in the VFL
The Head barely got near it. In part that was due to poor delivery and lack of opportunity before he was subbed and in part it was due to a lack of work rate. I guess it helps his cause Jaksch was playing back and Jones also spudded up
Graham and Cripps did some good things. I would have Graham still a nose ahead of Cripps but both are still on the fringe and pushing for one spot if it is actually there (Bell is ahead of both). Both looked to get more of the pill then they actually were credited for so that is a plus
Buckley played a bit of everywhere, his attack on the ball was brilliant and so was his tackling pressure but he shanked the balll too often for someone that normally has really good foot skills.
Byron also looked like Byron on occasions with his attack and run (although he lost control of the ball on that one run). He needs some work but he showed a bit. If he gets the tank he might make a decent nuggety inside mid that can burst.
I like the look of Blaine as well, he is a bit reckless but he at least tries his ass off
Oh and we are in deep ish with Cam Wood as our ruck.
