[JackFlash]

The Saints will destroy the Blues no matter what crappy playing strip they wear, Saints by 52points

 

[NetworkNerd]

Should be a great match. Carlton will definitely be up and about for this one.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Carlton is going better than people realise and played pretty well against Freo. We will have to play at our best to get over the line. Just want to win to build on the momentum from last weekend.

 

[voorhees]

expect a great clash with this one.
blues were good last week and the saints powered home big time.
good arm wrestle

This, and they could get McKay and others back for this one. This could be a hum-dinger.

 

[projectv]

Big game for our feeder club. The Carlton lads will want to put on a good display to see who we decide to recruit next.

Saints by 30.

 

[timokane]

Might come along to this game at Marvel.
Pity its not at the MCG.
Should be at the MCG this Sunday arvo.
Anyway Stkilda here by around 4 goals

Stay classy. Perhaps if your club treated him better he wouldn't have left.

Incredibly corny.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

This game would have been better at the MCG.

I am expecting a lot of argy bargy this game.

AFL might get enough fine money to make sure the ARC is not stupid (being realistic it will go drinks and blow for the off season junket)

 

[Fadge]

Will be a very, very, very interesting watch.

 

[cblues4864]

Stay classy. Perhaps if your club treated him better he wouldn't have left.

you can have him i am sure he comes from a good family with morals

 

[THE_GUN]

Grudge match of the season and should be more banter here between the 2 supporter bases

TDK , Silvagni jnr , Silvagni snr , Dow , Stocker , Carrol
Saints have raided the blues list and if the Blues lose to the saints then SOS would be hated even more

Now will SOS do to St kilda what he did at the giants and blues ?
Nothing or will he actually deliver on what he has been well paid for over 20 years to do

 

[Xtreme]

DRAW

The result this match deserves

 

[Wosh]

Teams are up

 

[austinnn]

An interesting fact about this fixture is that the away team has won it on the last six occasions

 

[Atomboy]

1st minute of every quarter everyone to do an italian hand gesture towards jack silvagni

Is that the one where you throw a can at the goal umpire ?.

 

[BillytheLid]

Have a feeling the Blues win this. Have been thereabouts all season and really should be 4-3 at worst. Have some decent ins and are close to full strength. Think the Saints will be a force from 2027 and beyond but for now are still working themselves out. Blues by 11.

 

[Broski]

Carlton's grand final. Should be a hard fought match.

 

[westie]

1st minute of every quarter everyone to do an italian hand gesture towards jack silvagni

Exactly what anyone would be expected from you lot! And you have the temerity to talk about morals.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Carlton's grand final. Should be a hard fought match.

Don’t flatter yourself - this would sit just beneath our amazing “Escort Cup” semi-final win from 1966…

Oh hang on… isn’t that the year…

 

[THE_GUN]

I hate seeing the blues in the bottom 4

Come on boys you can get another 4-7 wins and get to 10th

* I just feel sorry for the kids and grand kids that have never seen success the last 30+ years

 

[beside the seaside]

Any decent Carlton players left that we should keep an eye on?
