A Carlton fan talking about insignificance...lol.

You must be young

 

[danster168]

Are you suggesting we will be like Melbourne in the finals series from last year ?

Exactly. Without the flag the year prior.

 

[Samji]

Exactly. Without the flag the year prior.

1964 -> 2021. 57 years of irrelevance.

Still salty!

 

[Aphrodite]

NINE. IN. A. ROW.

 

[Aphrodite]

Now a free kick and double fifty to Carlton to gift them another goal.

Shameless stuff from the umpires.

 

[Thrawn]

was going well til the goal ump didn't know how to apply the rules. Anyway, the blues won't fire a shot in the finals. They may scrape over the line against 8th in week 1 but that's about it.

If we can beat you guys in a finals-like furnace sans Cerra and Walsh, I think we should be able to handle whoever limps into 8th spot at the 'G.

 

[Thrawn]

"Port made a billion changes"
"Collingwood missed and weren't taking it seriously"
"It wasn't touched"

Now it's:

"The umpires gifted you the game because they want you finals-bound"

Never mind the fact we kicked ourselves out of it in the 3rd with what was it, 1.8? Gee imagine if Curnow got a free kick there in the dying seconds, haha.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Stole last week too

Glorious, isn't it?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Great mark by the whoever marked it in the last few seconds.

That's Mr Freekickcurnow to you.

 

[Young Redleg]

You must be young

Nobody gives a s**t how good Carlton were 25 years ago.

 

[Soapy V]

9 Wins in a Row with Cerra Walsh Fogarty McGovern Boyd Silvagni to come back into our best side.

 

[Soapy V]

Nobody gives a s**t how good Carlton were 25 years ago.

I do

 

[Thrawn]

That's very bold to assume they'll play finals

Stupid-looking avatar goes very well with stupid-looking post.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

This is why I don't rate Carlton. Scraped over the line against the saints and Gold Coast suns. And an asterisk win against the dees who played 30 mins of football.

I rate them because they've won 9 in a row, including 1st, 2nd and 3rd, whilst dealing with injuries to 4-5 best 22 players.
I can understand why you're looking at it from a glass half empty perspective though.

 

[Young Redleg]

I do

Fair enough. I was -38 years old in 1964 and I still marvel at how amazing the dees were back then.

Including from being 40 points down against a side who smashed Brisbane up there.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

VFL umpires absolutely love dicking over GCS and GWS because they can get away with it with no outrage

This comment tastes terrible. Needs some salt.

They were better in the 50s

It’s called fear

The rest of the comp are in shambles

 

[Jimthegreat]

After 20+ years of crap and 9 wins in a row I should be full of excitement. I will be eventually but for now i'm just relieved we got away with today and playing finals. With my club I expect anything to go wrong. Thank goodness we are there now.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Plodder Cripps back to his best. 11 possessions in 3/4 of football..

For sure a quiet game and yet we still win, from 40 points down, you seem to have forgotten he ripped your bunch of pretenders to shreds last week....I'm sure you'll pull out your free kick excuse though.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

hahaha, the excuses for cripps is laughable. He's moving like he normally does. Oliver has 3 months off. comes back and tears up the blues. No excuses.

And you still lost, no excuses.

 

[Thrawn]

Didn't see much credit for Curnow's game and his matchsaving mark either, except we kept on getting bitching about the umpires from a Saints and Melbourne fan... surprise surprise.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Suns gotta fight tooth and nail to keep Neddy.

Flanders torched us in the first quarter and a bit. Impressive stuff
