Carlton will really want to rally together and prove that they aren't done with this season. Backs to wall, they will want to make a huge statement to the footy world that the navy blues can last out 4 quarters against a quality team.

Brisbane by 72.

 

[Zevon]

Think this could be one of those “everyone thinks it will be really really ugly but it ends up being just ugly” sort of margins.

Brisbane by 45

 

[voorhees]

Carlton on Friday night...great!

 

[Warwick]

Think this could be one of those “everyone thinks it will be really really ugly but it ends up being just ugly” sort of margins.

Brisbane by 45

Exactly. And we’re a team that play up or down depending on our opponent.

I’d have a look at what Brisbane 1-39 are paying.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What a Frifday night blockbuster for the ages...

 

[Billy ray]

Carlton need to put the banner up twice, start and half time!

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

What will Brisbane have on the whiteboard this week ?

 

[THE_GUN]

This could get very very ugly

I hope its not a 61-0 start

 

[Cam Payne]

Brissie to have the 2nd highest % at full time. Lions by 100.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This could get very very ugly

I hope its not a 61-0 start

Lets be real we all half hope for Carlton to lead at halftime then capitulate as usual right?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Will the players play for Voss's future or put in a stinker to get him sacked? Maybe a nothing to lose attitude like Melbourne had will make this a competitive game. Also, cranky Fages will be out this week, which is not a good sign for the Blues.

I still can't get over the Cranky Fages gifs that are surely coming

 

[JackFlash]

Will Voss still be the boss after this one? His only chance of survival is a very good showing and a close loss, but that ain't going to happen...Lions by 57points...

 

[Toffee Lion]

Cripps usually plays some of his best footy against the Lions, if he doesn't get going this week then his career is on a knifes edge.

Think the Blues will relish the challenge, finally a game with zero expectations or pressure to perform. They'll start well as they usually do and focus on their second half fadeout to cause a boilover.

Blues by 13 points.

 

[timokane]

lions feast on the blues and win it by around say 40 points.
be a 6 goal win

 

[PCORF]

Carlton will lead by 2 goals at halftime but Brisbane wakes up and dominates the second half to win by 45 points.

Not sure why people say this for games they're expected to lose. He survives all these bad losses/fade outs but an away game to two time premiership Brisbane he goes under the hammer for?

 

[Xtreme]

Carlton with the upset of the season

Carlton by 49

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Not sure why people say this for games they're expected to lose. He survives all these bad losses/fade outs but an away game to two time premiership Brisbane he goes under the hammer for?

He could shoot people on Fifth Avenue and still be coach

Brisbane by 120, Blues to own it

 

[THE_GUN]

Will be a very, very, very interesting watch...

The Lions should just rockup after half time
would make things interesting

 

[Viceregal]

No Ah Chee playing ... hopefully whoever Cripps' snipe attacks this time won't be hurt too badly

 

[Vindicater]

Blues to keep it close to half and then BOOM go the Lions

 

[Elixuh]

Lions down to 2 fit defenders. Think this will be an upset. Lions underdogs.

Hearing we have only had to rub out Ben and replace it with Harry on the whiteboard.

Blues to keep it close to half and then BOOM go the Lions

They implode?
