Elimination Final vs Carlton at MCG, Friday 8 September 2023, 7:50 PM

[Blood Fever]

True. It wasn't out of the goodness of their heart.

They brought it on themselves. John Elliott was an unmitigated disaster.

And a few other descriptions.

If memory serves, Carlton were making a play to have all their away games played in Sydney.
Plans for South going to Sydney were in the way of that so, Carlton wanted South out of the VFL.
Collingwood did not want Carlton to obtain the benefits of playing all away games in Sydney.
So, Collingwood supported South's efforts.
Food for thought every time we play Carlton.
My wife supports Carlton, creates the occasional issue...

Just heard on Andy Maher SEN radio show that Carlton will smack us by 40 points plus. Oh well there goes my hopes for progressing any further.

I don’t think the Swans will have any trouble getting motivated.

BTW SEN are running a “bespoke … unashamedly biased commentary” featuring “the one-eyed Carlton trio of Andy Maher, Mark Maclure, and club legend Wayne Johnston.”

SEN offers unapologetically biased commentary for Carlton's finals return

I don’t know we’d notice any difference from the normal Melbourne Media?

[The Big Cat]

Have the umps been announced?

The AFL will be praying for Carlton to go deep into the finals. I think of the 8 teams remaining they will see us as least useful.

Just heard the forecast for Friday evening - Rain and possible hail. Better bring your flippers!

In that case, do you think we will have an edge as we’re not a particularly high marking side? Physically it could be tough- Cripps will throw the ball as usual.

With the weather forecast we better not be selecting Francis as sub again like we did against Richmond!

Thank heavens (pun intended) for undercover seating.
