Was I the only Melbourne supporter at today’s game?

I was the only Melbourne supporter in the area that I sat amongst 1000 stinking Carlton Supporters.

Funny thing was while all other team supporters have paid me out over the last 6 weeks for Melbourne's tanking efforts, the Carlton supporters were today very supportive of our "experimenting" tactics over the last 6 weeks. Spoke in detail about the fine art of tanking with a Carlton supporter who was all over our recent tactics and all for them. He spoke about Carlton of 2007 and the tactics they used and others Carlton supporters around joined in the conversation and all seemed supportive. He suggested Frawley coming off mid way through the third with Melbourne pressing as "classy experimentation" translated as "sound tanking". I tend to agree, but it was unnecessary we simply fielded a team way to inexperienced to threaten today.

Saying that "Well done DB"

Steady on, I counted at least 8 and that's not including the Cheer Squad!

That's really kind of funny. Getting in the middle of a pack of baying Blues supporters, and they all suddenly enjoy a cup of tea and sing the praises of tanking.

I would have thought they love the dees because now they're no the only cub to have tanked this aggressively. ie, they don't look as bad when they have a second club to share the hatred.

Anyone hear that little boundary nerd maher on ch10 this arvo? Every chance he got he sunk the boot in about our tactics and implications about our honesty.

We still have a long way to go to reach Carlton's lofty tanking standards. They won 4 out of their 1st 11 games and none of there last 11.

Melbourne on the other hand won 1 of their 1st 11 and 3 of their last 11.

We are playing the same game essentially but we are not in the their league.

There's only one way to silence that boundary [censored].

Yeah, I believe he is what the average person, with half a brain would refer to as a [censored]. Such a small, pitiful little man too. I feel sorry him down there.

In other news, our turn out today was again appalling. I was there though and ran into both Colin Garland and Dennis Commetti. Interesting day in the end, turns out I'm easily taller than Garland.

It's funny what you hear....... On the way out, caught two Greeks having a conversation that went something like this:

No.1 I hope we play the bulldogs in the finals

No.2 Yeah we beat them every time

No.1 St Kilda aren't much chop at the moment either

No.2 Yeah I think we are favourites to win it all now!!!!!!!!

I just had a chuckle, OK, I Laughed out loud so much they turned and glared at me

That's a good point. However, our matchday tanking is the worst I've seen. For 120 minutes we made half a dozen moves that were worse than the no-tag on Trav in round 22 of 97.

lol I wonder what the word for Western Bulldogs is in Greek?

As you've told us you're not an average person with half a brain did you think to ask how is foot is and will he be ready at the start of preseason training?

No doubt like most of the other Carltank supporters he was embarrassed about how inept Carltank players were in the first half!!!! Still trying to cover up their efforts against MFC 2 games before in teh Kruzer cup..

Hey. shouldn't expect any Bluebaggers to let the facts get in the way - they havent in regard to salary cap, external deals courtesy of Visy, financials ala cost anyalysis for the"Legends" stand or the fact they had to borrow a player each Saturday from "Coburg College" to pay some years ago.

All 5 of us were there and the Carlton and neutral supporters there all agreed that MFC is doing exactly the right thing by our club at the moment!!

Andrew maher is just another in the long line of melbourne haters who dont get it. Garry Lyon got up him about his hysterics a few weeks ago it was awesome.. he just is a man who wishes he played footy because he is so desperate to be involved and be worthy..

5 start tool!

A-grade tool if you ask me. Don't know how Watson copes. To get up so early each morning, to have Maher greet you everytime you walk in the studio.......and hear him talk about the Blues...

If he was questionning "our honesty", as you say demon_josh_au, he is a fair dinkum knucklehead.

Agree about the andy maher comments, this guy is an absolute loser. You think as a supporter, he'd be happy that his team won and are going to play finals, but no, all he can think about is whinging about us getting the priority pick and continuously adding more fuel to the tanking issue.

TBH i reckon he is jealous of our list and knows that we will soon leap frog his team.

Thank God the three Carlton muppets chose this week to miss training as we would have won if they had not played on Saturday!!!!!

I doubt it.

Take Judd, Murphy & Gibbs out and you might have had a case.
