It's good for the game when the heavyweights of footy are good at the same time.
Biggest carlton vs pies game in 40 years.

2 irrelevant clubs,neither will make a bump on the rest of the 8 regardless of who wins,let me guess,Carlton will have yet another 1979 premiership
reunion before the game to mask 25 years plus of complete patheticness
tipping Carlton to beat the most ordinary side in the top 5 with 1 round to go that ive ever seen
if Carlton win both will be eliminated week 1 of finals,take it to the bank

Heavyweights
more like bantam weights... 3 premierships btwn them in the AFL era, theyre days of relevance are long gone
Sounds like someone has been sucked in by Fox Footy's relentless spruiking of this game (which of course they happen to be broadcasting).
Biggest H&A game ever, according to Fox Footy's own David King.
Nearly 100000 will be there, according to Fox Footy's own Jon Ralph.
Fair dinkum.

A draw gets Collingwood into the top 4 if one of Freo or Sydney lose
a draw is enough for the Blues.
They lead dogs and saints by a game
The final I went to in 88 was bigger
That 34 years ago

Neither team was a potential challenger then. West coast and geelong were so far ahead of the rest it wasnt funny.

I didnt say biggest home and away game ever. I said biggest pies vs blues game in forty years. In part highlighting how weak the rivalry has become given this will be their biggest match in many decades and it aint even a final. Although its awfully close to one.

Dogs won’t lose though as we are injured, poor midfield (dogs strength) and from yesterday showing hawks have checked out for season

Stand corrected. Not 40 years. 34 years.

The game is a sell out so should be a crowd of around 90,000, it's a massive game for both clubs
But biggest H&A ever??!!! Not even the biggest of the round in terms of premiership relevance

It's actually the opposite of that, a draw would be very suspicious!
Why are some posters being so dismissive? It ticks every box as all you could ask for from a H&A game.
Traditional AFL rivals - tick
MCG location - tick
Top 4 on the line for 1x club - tick
Top 8 on the line for 1x club - tick
Final round of the year, no chances to make amends for the loser - tick
Someone tell me how a H&A game could be bigger?

WC definitely were not a challenger. They only managed to become a challenger because Collingwood choked in the first final against StKilda, which allowed the winner of 4th v 5th to be granted a second chance.
Gee, WB and Collingwood all finished the season with 16-6.
That’s a good point. If Hawthorn have sown up the win by 3:20, Carlton will have little to play for providing they don’t lose by 150 points. If they are off by a few percent, Collingwood will likely win the game easily. Yes it would be anti climatic but I am hoping hawthorn get the job done in the earlier game.
Top 4 on the line for us is huge but imagine if we both needed to win to make the top 8!
FWIW I really hope the Dogs win (which they should) so that it doesn't lose any spark whatsoever. Even though it's probably better for us if the Dogs lose and the Blues know they don't have to win.

If bulldogs win by under a goal and blues lose by under a goal, Carlton will still finish 8th

No way the Bulldogs aren’t doing a number on Hawthorn.
Buckle up Carlton fans.
