Only 2 Carlton players would make it into the Tigers starting 22. I guess that's the take home message.None of the Tiges defenders would make the Blues starting 22. I guess that's the take home message.

Yet those 5, 30 year olds are better than the whole Carlton starting 22.The Tiges were playing 5, 30 year old and olders in their starting 22 for most of 2008- one of the oldest starting 22's in the AFL. Remember the Tiges V Lions game - only 5 of your 17 goals were kicked by players under the age of 30!. So much for a "bright future". lol.
I'd rather watch us beat the Grand Finalists(Hawthorn) again, how much did you beat them by in Round 22?They were all embarrassing in your "Happy Birthday" game. Remember? I enjoyed some of Bowden's "it's not my fault" half-defensive efforts in the last 1/4 of that game.
Well the whole year was celebrating our 100th birthday.But that was your 100th Birthday game. It was being promoted at Tigerland for about 2 years. lol. And you were thumped by a much younger side.
Once again though, that fabulously young team that THUMPED us in 1/4 in Round 14(But also lost to us in Round 1), did they beat the Grand Finalists in Round 22?But that specific game was being promoted by Richmond as the 100 year celebration of yellow and bleakness. All the Tiger faithful turned out, and were treated to an embarrassing last 1/4 capitulation. It's etched in your history now. Forever.
A late-season meaningless game for the Hawks? So why couldn't Carlton beat them? In fact I believe you lost by 78 points in that meaningless game for the Hawks.Are you celebrating a late-season meaningless game for the Hawks? Sounds a little desperate. Sam Mitchell said they just wanted to make sure the Tiges finished 9th. A symbolic finish in your 100th year you'd agree. lol.
So if it didn't matter if they won or lost then why did they decide to THUMP Carlton by 78 points in the last game, a game in which Carlton were trying to get their only goalkicker for the season over 30 goals to a milestone, but just like true Carlton team does they tanked it and their $2mil forward was left begging.Yep. Afraid so. If they won or lost it didn't mean much. Meant everything to the Tiges, because up to that point they hadn't beaten a top-8 side for the whole year.
Yeah I noticed that with this post: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12538934&postcount=7.
gram and look at maguire in 04,05 and 06 bloody legend he will be back at his best next year bookmark this.
Hes 26.Emerging? Isn't Newman about 27 years old? The Tiges would have to have one of the oldest starting 22's in the AFL.
Newman will be 27 next year, Moore 25. Add in Bowden, Richo, Johnson, Simmonds and Brown who will all be 31 year old and older next year. This is an old starting 22 - no question. Maybe the oldest going around next year.
