Carlton...

[laminex]

You beat Collingwood when we were missing half our team. You kicked 4 goals against us more recently.

Carlton should honestly give up their finals spot to someone more deserving, they are really just wasting everyones time being there.

out of the last 4 games we have beaten you 3 times, the last game we play bad and stil had as many scoring shots. we lost the game more than you won it.

 

[Invigoration]

More deserving???
We get into the finals by making the 8 and qualifying.... its not like its handed to us for nothing. So seriously just stfu and take your crappy trolling to bay 13.

Wouldn't be so smug had you not beaten us last week

Yeah but we did...

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Because Hawthorn is a significantly better side.

Your probably right, but they didn't play like it for nearly three quarters of the year and if thats not enough to get them in to the 8 then thats just the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[Handball jnr]

Why are teams that have won LESS games than us MORE deserving?

Because of the uneven draw?

Not every team gets hnded a gift to the finals by only playing Geelong, Hawthorn & St Kilda once. Play them 3 teams twic and you wouldn't be playing finals. Simple as that.
You beat Collingwood the 1st time when they had half their side out. Lost to Essendon twice. Lost to Freo and would have lost the 2nd match against them had Pavlich played. Beat Bulldogs after their 2 Perth trips.
You will make finals by default. Your 1 and only finals match is going to be embarassing though

 

[rofltown]

Maybe we should just scrap the whole top 8 and just every september Invigoration the mesiah himself can just decide who plays in the finals.

Yeah for the team we beat

They don't need our spot. Essendon's place is there for the taking...

Oh the ironing.
Watch tonights game?

And before that we had beaten you in last 4, so what is your point? You either use the most recent form, when we smashed you no matter how you try to doll it up, or you use past form in which we have won 5 of the last 8.

You choose.

 

[Invigoration]

Haha, true

 

[JOELY]

pretty ordinary side.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Fair call, they can beat the lower teams and on a "good" day for them challenge a middling one but definately only going to be making up numbers going by tonights showing

We challenged your mob pretty darn well in the middle of the year. If you wanna call your side "middling" then that's fine.

Moving on from the bay 13 crap. Yep, we were far from convincing tonight, no doubt about it, but we got over the line when North had something to play for and we've won 4 of our last 5, while being "out of form", so I'll take that...just as any other supporter would.

After being in the wilderness for nearly ten years I'll gladly watch us limp in to the finals if it means we're simply going to be there. I know we can push half the sides in there if we make it so I'm looking forward to at least having a crack!

How many teams play the bottom sides twice?

There is no such thing as an even draw. The only thing teams can do is make the best of what the draw deals them. If a team is good enough to win enough games to make the 8, then there is no debate.

Beat Bulldogs after their 2 Perth trips.

We still beat a quality side regardless. I see you've conveniently left out Brisbane.

You will make finals by default. Your 1 and only finals match is going to be embarassing though

We'll make the finals if we win enough games.

 

[Sheik Mathious]

9 games out of over 230 games isn't a trend.

Finishing in the bottom half of the ladder over 7-8 years is a trend.

Is one flag in 50 years a trend?

Your just like Manchester United. Without the success

 

[StringyDog]

Oh the ironing.
Watch tonights game?

What the ????

 

[Pie eyed]

Carlton got the 4 points tonight but only at the hand of a very inaccurate NM.
It must be very worrying.
No other positives out of a game like that other than the win.

 

[Tanks_Alot]

Suck shit Bummers.

BTW how the F*** can you be more deserving to make finals and be more damaging to the other teams in the finals? Seriously apart from us you've beaten NO ONE!

You would worry nobody guys face it you have lost to every other team in the eight. Far out you guys are dumb

On the other hand, we have beaten the Lions TWICE that's at home and away for those keeping score, we have beaten the Pies in 3 out of the last 4 occasions, We have beaten the Dogs the last 3 times by an average of 30 points, We pushed the Saints to the limit when we played them and only the Cats have come closer to knocking them off. We lost to the Crows at AAMI, no shame in that they are a very good side esecially at home and we have the Cats next week.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

I think Essendon fans' memories have lapsed. It was only 5 days ago they couldnt do what we did tonight and against a far inferior opponent at that.

What a load of crap - if's and but's, they're pointless. IF our games against Hawthorn and St Kilda had of gone a few more minutes we might have won! You forget the only times we played Hawthorn and St Kilda were probably two of the best games of the year, which could have gone either way. But of course that gets forgotten because Hawthorn and St Kilda are far superioer and deserved to win.

And all our wins get forgotten about and disregarded too, because we are supposedly better then every other side below us and should thrash them all by 10 goals!

 

[Guus_Hiddink]

We were ordinary tonight but you never know what can happen in the finals, well have no pressure on us at all and the boys can just have a crack. Dont write us off yet, remember we have scored the most points against the Saints this year.

But I agree that we badly need to lift and start peaking if we are going to do anything in the finals

And you will get the mother of all hidings next week to prove what a rabble you really are.

BTW, Essendon have beaten your cheating filthy corrupt side twice this season, and they've beaten Hawthorn, which your scumbag lowlife club hasen't done for over 5 years. Essendon are far more deserving, and would put up a much better performance in finals than your pretenders

They should have beaten Richmond then HP.

So then what credibility do the Pies get? IIRC they only play the three 'hard' teams once whilst they get Melbourne twice and Freo at home and don't have to travel that often.

Our draw isn't that easy certainly not the toughest but I would say a bit away from being the easiest. We only got Melbourne and North Melbourne once, we had to travel against the Dockers a task that has tested your team recently, we had to play the Swans away and early in the year when they were trying to make finals. We havn't had two games at the same venue two weeks in a row i.e we've played at a different venue each week, which makes it hard to establish a rythm.

 

[Handball jnr]

We were ordinary tonight but you never know what can happen in the finals

Just tonight?

Yeah you never know what can happen in finals. The other team might play shit and you might only lose by 8 goals instead of the likely 15 goals.

Idiot, the Hawks aren't in the eight yet and beating us doesn't mean they threaten the other teams in the finals I've just mentioned that they have lost to EVERY SINGLE TEAM above us this year so tell me how does that make them a more damaging opponent in the finals?
