Elimination Final: Blues v Swans Match Thread MCG

[waswan]

Not surprising.....and if it gets downgraded the tribunal support thuggery.....or are just Victorian.

Another broken AFL system, he was given 2 knowing a challenge is coming.
Will go down to 1 week.

Careless, High, High, they will argue Medium impact and get it.

If AFL said Medium and 1 week it would be open to legal challenges down to a fine

Joke of a system

Cannot believe that one coach didn't see Gulden as worth a vote!

Insane.

Heard Andy Mahr give Gulden a big wrap on SEN yesterday. Reckons he has the rare talent of able to execute skilful plays under the extreme pressure of a finals match, on all parts of the ground which most wouldn't even dare to attempt. Andy couldn't even contemplate Gulden's ceiling & what he may achieve in his career.

I think Gulden will come home hard in the Brownlow & possibly finish in the top 5. Serious contender next year, after more or less being noticed by the umpires & the media in general this year. Surely a lock to win our B&F this year? (Blakey to also figure prominently).

To anyone that has only been following AFL for 25 years or less will now know why us older supporters have a dislike for Carlton supporters, they are the most arrogant bunch of supporters you can meet.
They think it is their right to be the premiers. Lets hope they get their right whack this week.

Yes, they think they’re entitled- remember the check book days when they bought all the top players like Kernahan, Bradley et al they could get their hands on! Dislike them with a passion after the “Bloodbath” but more so after they tried to kill us off in 82. Love when we beat them, more than any other club ( well maybe Collingwood!) and should have smashed them last week……ok… next year for sure!😊

Agree about Carlton's history concerning us but quite like Michael Voss- good type of guy.

What gets me is all this noise about long suffering Carlton supporters seeing their team in finals for first time in 10 years! Big deal!!! We went 25 years without a finals appearance (1945-70) & then wait to till 77 for the next & then 86 after that. Took us till 1996 (over 50 years) to record first final win and till 2005 to win one in Melbourne (60 years).
