Last nights game game should be a warning for us. So important to play a FULL 4 quarters. Pies won on the back a good 15 minutes when GWS pressure dropped off. IMO GWS was the better side

We need 120 minutes of pressure

Do that and we win. We have more talent, play better as a team, have a better structure and play a finals style game. I'm very confident

Blues by 17 points

At Sarah sands preparing before the walk down to princess park … why is there a guy wearing a filth jumper going to princess park ? What’s the thought process here ? Thoughts anyone ?

My mates are going Sarah sands for the day 150 on the tab gets you 300 , lucky you left .. full blown crazy Carlton supporters and will burn the place down if they win or lose !!!

 

[lukep_86]

Nerves really starting to ramp up now.

It'll take our best but we're good enough to get the win. Let's go Baggers!!

 

[thylacine60]

Well if you are going to a vet clinic in Shep, why not wear a dirty old jumper

Yep. No Princess Park in Carlton.

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

Shitting myself just quietly.

I'm due to go eat a burger now.....zero appetite.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Judging by the slow posting rate I’m guessing everyone is At functions.

Meanwhile I’m bouncing off the walls on my own like one man Brownian motion !

Correct

 

[JuddgementDay]

I’m really enjoying this finals series

Has this finals been fun due to all those painful years or is it simply just the winning feelings that all Blue Baggers forgotten?

Let’s bring home the 17th cup and make it a great year to remember!

 

[xDQ82x]

I came on to pass some time.

Now my nerves are shot too lol reading all the posts.

Was going to try and stay off the beers until 4.45, 4pm looking likely now.

Battling a cold and decided to keep my germs at home, so couch and takeaways it is. AFLW helped kill a couple of hours, now to wait impatiently and let the nerves build.

Will be proud of the boys no matter what happens tonight. The last few weeks have been an unreal time to be a Bagger (but one more would be nice)

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Done my walk, done the washing, vacced the floors, polished the Billy, even sprayed a bit of eucalyptus about.

Getting very close to o’clock.

These Oettingers are a trap I tells ya’

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Ahem where is my invite.




Oh wait I’m heading off to a Prelim party at my brothers with the fam.

Lamb on the spit, plenty of salads, dips etc

Margaritas, Gin & Tonics

Dessert - Basque burnt cheesecake & some fancy choccies from the Pantry in Brarton

Address?

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Getting very close to o’clock.

These Oettingers are a trap I tells ya’

Smart opting for mid strength

 

[Ald Gardiner]

McStay confirmed out for Pies next week

Remember priorities in order next few games:

1. Carlton beats Lions today
2 Carlton beats Pies in GF
3. Lions beat Pies in GF

McStay news relevant to priorities 2 and 3

Same. Was going to hold off until the game, but I reckon a few great northerns are in order before the bounce. Was not nervous at all until about 15mins ago.

 

[BlueLocke]

Time for a nerve settler. Flinders Quandong Gin this afternoon.

Whoever wins this afternoon will take home the cup; Pies will crumble under intense pressure and McStay out unsettles their already thin forward line.

Love to see the big forward kick a bag.

late lunch, early dinner or post-game? menu?

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I’m sitting here watching the cricket highlights. No sight of the kids yet. Mrs Robbo has deserted me for the second time time. Message? Has been hanging out for the new iPhone and it was ready for collection. iPhone more important than my company. Hmmm…

We can do this

As Stevie said "Very superstitious, writing's on the wall".

Will I get thrown out if I admit to drinking water today?

 

[carltonchelsea]

All the way from Matamata NZ, let’s *en go Baggers

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Will I get thrown out if I admit to drinking water today?

Not at all and Iphones aren't cheap

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Could do worse than have a Blue heeler as the Club's second mascot...love 'em - especially when they have a touch of ranga hair mixed in with the blue greys.

Here’s my boy!
