Game Chat – North v Carlton

Written by Motts on July 25 2020

Where and when: GABBA, Saturday 25th July at 1:05pm (AEST)

Last time they met: Rd 7, 2019: Carlton 8.14 (62) def by North 18.12 (120) at Marvel

What it means for Carlton: A chance to climb back into the 8 (other results going their way). And a chance to get their first win against North since Round 18, 2014 when amongst those playing were: Jarrad Waite, Lachie Henderson, Chris Yarran, Troy Menzel, Andrejs Everitt, Dale Thomas and Mitch Robinson.

What it means for North: Pride. After winning the first two games of the season, the Roos have now dropped 5 in a row including last week’s belting at the hands of the Tigers.

Motts Watch: Looking for Cripps, Doch, Jacky Martin, and Jy Simpkin to bounce back. I’ll also have my eye on the young McKay kid down back for the Roos.

Mottsy’s Tip: Carlton by 30.

  2. Dirty score from Cripps incoming. Carrying an injury and will cop the McDonald tag.

    Brace yourselves…

  3. What’s more important with 1 trade left this week?

    TU: Get Pittonet (bench ruck) out and bank cash for next week
    TD: Grab a rookie and worry Pitto later

    1. Someone was pretending to be him using his name & saying Bailey Smith was a late out last night. Definite troll at work

      1. Was my thought too…….wonder if it’s part of a jealous PIA system that’s gets benefits from their libel annoyance????
        Do we have a rival that is having their egos deflated???

    3. Good catch, FT. I just deleted it.

      If anyone notices any more of those posts, let me know and I’ll take care of it until we sort something permanent out.

      1. Thanks GD..
        I have not posted anything today due to internet connection problems.I have just logged on now for the first time.

        I will only post on Game chat so please disregard any Coaches box messages from me, until this is fixed.
        Thanks for your understanding.

        The Harry McKay message also is not from me.

      2. Hey GD, can you please keep a copy of the IP before you delete? When you’re logged in, you can hover over the name in the Coaches Box and it’ll pop-up. Email through the IP to Motts and we’ll get it permanently blacklisted. Cheers

      1. Any chance this is gonna change over the rest of the season? Or is he just gonna keep getting tagged? Because with 3 trades next week, and a bye the week after, he could be worth trading

      1. interesting one on brayshaw
        he was averaging 78 over 4 matches when fyfe was fully fit & made 10k
        averaging 126 over the last 3 weeks while fyfe has been injured & has made another 112k
        fyfe expected back R9 but will probably come back after his R10 bye
        @ R10 , brayshaw should be worth about 530k & a perfect stepping stone to an ultra premo before his average goes back down to the 70’s again with fyfe’s return

  5. On behalf of all coaches who traded out Pitto this week, I would like to thank him for equalling last week’s appalling score at the 5 minute mark of the second quarter….

    Something that could have been useful last week Pitto……

  6. Horrible Blues don;t get how we can smash doggies by 50 pts and then play like this. Has to be mental maybe also Moore is a spud.

  8. Think Cripps is spending this last quarter more forward after copping studs to the stomach in the 3rd quarter

  10. I have come to the conclusion that North just didnt want to win….so many stupid errors.
    Ken Hinkley must have been so happy that Pittard left the club….he is a coach killer.
