Home final (really Carl v Stk gameday)

[Melbournehammer]

Its funny I hate carlton far worse than collingwood. It is the uiltimate blue blood club - the club of pratt, fraser, elliott, collins - all those who are part of the ruling elite in melbourne. collingwood is still the club of jack wren and the working class of melbourne.

Just sorted out the flights (thank you work for letting me go early). Bring on the Saints. Love myself a footy weekend in Melbourne.

[CureTheSane]

Seriously?

Swans away - me likey
Swans at home = not Goodes this year...

[Donners]

I really wish we'd kept Schneider and Dempster.

Blues screwed us again

1945 Bloodbath; David Rhys-Jones & Bernie Evans; early 90s tried to play all their away games in Sydney & home games in Melb (& have us kicked out); & now tanked against the Saints to make us play in Melbourne next week (admittedly we did ourselves no favors with some of our losses ... BUT I STILL HATE CARLTON NEARLY AS MUCH AS COLLINGWOOD)

We can beat St K in Melbourne, but the further we go in the finals, the more consequtive road trips we have to make, making each game harder and harder to win.

Please you are not really expecting us to go beyond week one are you ? The record of teams who lose in the first week coming into week two is incredible. I want us to go through to the GF but I really just want us to come out and knock the saints out.
In any case by this stage of the season it has as much to do with the team that you can select and how many players are carrying something. The road issue i reckon is less significant than during H&A because the umpires tend to be better and less reactive to the noise of the crowd.

saints won. 86 to 66.

Very ordinary Blues.

No home final for us Curse you Carlton.

[swansrule100]

we only have ourselves to blame i guess, so many costly performances when you think about it, the loss to essendon,adelaide, fremantle, draw with melbourne for starters.

We can beat stkilda at etihad anyway

[DLBIA14]

Goodes plays his 300th game at Etihad

Its a travesty! Can only be reconciled if he plays a match-winning game.

[swansrule100]

now i remember why i hate carlton

[Donners]

Dammit, this is not going to plan.

[DLBIA14]

Off we got to Ethiad. *Sigh* The worst thing is, the Tiges won against the Sharks, so if Carltank did their job, we would have have been at the SCG!
