Carlton 2022 = Melbourne 2017

[Always Ballin]

A breakout season that ends in horrific choking fashion. Top 8 position stolen at the last moment, ripped from their hands. For Melbourne, it motivated them to come back stronger and make a prelim; I wonder if Carlton will do the same? Time will tell. They'll learn a lot from this humbling experience.

 

[Jibroni]

I think this is worse

 

[Donakebab]

No.

 

[Dez!]

Yeah nah.

first side since Carlton in 1947 to lose a game on the final day of the season by a point and miss finals

[Wojcinski]

unless they release a flyer then I don't think it's comparable

They’ll come back stronger and make top 4 next year. It takes losses like these to become good. Richmond 16, Dees 20 and Hawks 12 are good examples. Also pies this year.

What if they released a beer to celebrate making the finals?

Losing the final game of the regular season and missing out by one point is worse. Reminds me of an NFL game earlier this year with the Las Vegas Raiders and the LA Chargers. The Chargers missed out on this year's postseason with the final kick of the game in overtime with a tie needing them to advance

 

[Always Ballin]

You could argue that Melbourne's was worse because they lost to 13th place Collingwood. Carlton had to face two top four teams back-to-back.

Not only that but West Coast pulled a miraculous upset on the #1 ranked Adelaide, beating them by just enough to sneak into the 8 and kick Melbourne out.

West Coast reached the finals at the expense of Melbourne on percentage by 0.48 percentage points, a difference equivalent to only nine on-field points. It is the narrowest margin in VFL/AFL history to decide a finals spot.

If Walsh played, they probably win.

Then again, Collingwood missing their best clearance winner in Adams, so it evens out.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

They’d want to get a wriggle on, going to have salary cap issues soon.

Cripps 28 next season, still yet to play an AFL final in his career.

Premiership windows don’t just open because people thing they should.

 

[hoss]

Wow, shitting the bed twice like that when you're playing for finals. That's funny, sad and pathetic all in one. Gotta question the on-field leaders I guess. Club seems broken.

Cripps shouldn't have been playing anyway.

 

[Chief]

Lol - we lost when we weren't expected to win. It was hard fought, there was no point where we put the game to bed.

What is a choke these days? "Lead for a quarter or two but lost"?

The Cripps thing legitimately sucks. One of the best kids of the era but could potentially not play a final. Most would expect Carlton to do better next year but no guarantees.

If this is the Melbourne/Collingwood game I am thinking of Collingwood were smashed with injuries. I remember it being iconic for the and kayle Kirby

's debut which sadly due to health was only time he got to play. Never realised Dees need to win to make the 8.

Carlton have a good team they will learn and come back stronger. Make me sick saying that.

I thought you were 4 goals up at 3/4 time in a low scoring game and then kicked 5 straight behinds and no goals in the last quarter. With everything to play for, that's a choke by my definition.

If you're after a quicky, give the Blues a call.

They're experts in blowing things in 90 seconds.

We weren’t in the top 8 ALL season.

Carlton were in the top 8 for the entire season:

Melbourne were in and out the whole year:

Carlton's would feel worse

A choke is being paid out by a betting agency to make top 4 and then completely missing the finals.

Now that. Is. A. Choke if ever I’ve seen one

15/22 rounds they were + 10/11 last rounds, as high as 5th.
