Havent you already seen a Carlton premiership?? 95 ring a bell??

 

[btdg]

Yeah, but in '95 I was in Sydney and had to watch on tv.

I've only ever been out of Melbourne 3 times for the grand final since moving to Australia in '88. '93 and '99 I was in Queensland, '95 in Sydney. Never seen the Blues in a grand final in person

 

[Shell]

Well I can tell ya right now, it wasnt anything special!!! And not just because Im a Geelong supporter! I was sitting up in the Olympic Stand and the atmosphere that day was pretty crap to be honest.. too many people there that didnt care about the result!

You said you moved to Australia in 88... where did ya move from??

 

[btdg]

Really? The closest I've been to was the '99 preliminary, and the atmosphere at that was awesome. I always thought a grand final would be special - but that game was a bit of a blowout so maybe that affected it... and there are so many corporates and neutral fans compared to a normal game

Besides, in those days grand finals were something Carlton did on a regular basis - it just felt normal. I reckon the next one will be that bit sweeter cos we've been down first

 

[Shell]

Theres only a few things i remember about that day... the melee at half time, the bloody calrton theme song (it was in my head for a month after that game).. and that the atmosphere wasnt special. It was my first and only gf i've been to, so i def remember that!!

Prelims and all the other finals are speical, cause only real supporters fill up the stadium!!

Its so pricey now too to go to the gf. I paid $30 to go in 95! Can u believe that?? (still wasnt worth it but, in the end!)

 

[btdg]

$30 is awesome When Carlton eventually get back there I'd pay the prices they ask now to see it - I'd just have to have a bit of a tear if they didn't win. Right now though I'd take any finals appearance
