Barrack for Essendon or Carlton?

[sue 9,106]

Like many Demons supporters I hate both Essendon (for thuggery and bashing Green in Grand Final) and Carlton (for too many reasons to mention).

So who do I barrack when they play this week? What result would maximise the chances that BOTH miss out on the finals?

draw?

[Sir Why You Little 37,038]

Knee injuries.

[Dr. Mubutu 853]

Barrack for Carlton. If Essendon fall out of the 8, our mid-first round essentially moves up 1 pick, due to Essendon taking Daniher F/S.

[Dr. Mubutu 853]

Ugh. Now I feel so dirty.

[Jonesbag 487]

Carlton, they wont make it anyway plus Essendons fall from grace will be complete.

Ahhh thank god for Essendon always entertaining

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Carlton for reasons mentioned above.

And because they're our tanking brothers.

[Johnny Karate 559]

Barrack for the Mayan prediction of the world ending on 21/12/2012, hope it was slightly off & is solely confined to purging all the evil from the MCG on Saturday.

The MCG to open up & in the words of Johnny Cash: " the father hen to call his chickens home" (only a hermaphrodite chicken-devil could've spawned these dickwits). Hopefully lead by Juddy; the prodigal Son.

Admittedly the TAB are giving out extremely long odds on this happening but it's all relative (pun intended when talking about Carlton & Essendon supporters), the odds for this occurrence would be far longer at any other clash!

So, yeah, barrack for that.

Carlton (get scum out of 8)

Huge brawl - 10 players reported, suspended, ending any chance of either side making the 8

[Ouch! 2,263]

I am thinking Carlton.

Moreso because I don't mind Ratten and don't think he deserves to lose his coaching role. (That and I hate Hird, Thomson, and the Weapon!)

How could any non-Essendon person hate the Weapon? Best thing to happen to that club in years.

Haha very true.... I just can't stand "The weapon" crap...

[Chook in Perth 2,109]

Got to be Carlton.

1. Any kid born between 1975 and 1980 either barracks for Essendon or hates them more than cancer.

2. Carlton won't make the 8. A win for them will torpedo Essendon's chances.

That said, I enjoyed the Bummers getting their arses handed to them in the first week of the 2009 and 2011 finals.

Collingwood

Carlton

Essendon

Hawthorn

Whenever these teams play each other we have a saying in our red-and-blue-mad household: we don't care who wins as long as they hurt each other.

As much as I hate to type this - I prefer Carlton due to draft picks.

I cannot adequately express my loathing for the above four teams via a computer screen.

I quite like Collingwood these days.

Carlton, Richmond and Essendon can GaGF.

[biggestred 5,088]

carlton - because it would shatter masses of bomber fans who thought that they should have been given the premiership back in may before we beat them.

i hope they punch the snot out of eachother

[beelzebub 23,376]

draw?

yep...a hard fought ,drawn out slog of a game with many injuries..... if there's any justice !!

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

I would go with Carlton too. We can at least claim the satisfaction that we shattered the bombers arrogant overconfidence and started them down their slippery slide if they miss the finals. The shocked look on their supporters was priceless.

[My TD 156]

I quite like Collingwood these days.

I like to hear why.

I see very few redeeming features.

Their arrogant president has the biggest mouth in the league.

AFLs golden child and treated like it.

Unbearable supporters.

And the list goes on........

I admire them. I wish we had a loud mouth president that promoted our club so much that you can't get away from it.

They're the golden child because they pull the most fans which means they pull the most money.

Their supporters can GaGF.

But I just like the way they play, I'm a big fan of Swan, Pendlebury and Beams, I like how every kid they bring in is ready to play AFL and makes an impact.

I'm aware this shouldn't be allowed to be posted on here, and this post will get zero 'likes', but I just don't hate Collingwood like I was brought up to do.

I also hate that so many people would rather [censored] about Collingwood than worry about their own team.

i hate the Pies. and i actually hate the way they play. The Cats, now theres a team that were hard to hate at their prime. Tough, hard and skillfull .

Curse you Sue! I had put this horrible tipping choice out my mind but I have enjoyed reading the above hateful and hurtful posts - all by good solid Demons supporters. As a result of an unfortunate visit to Windy Hill many years ago, I used to hate Essendon more than anyone. Now, however, since John Elliot , cardboard boxes, tanking, their general squealing,their filthy rude and arrogant supporters and Brock Mclean, I have nurtured a good healthy hatred of the scum. I wish them as much ill luck as possible.

[PaulRB 6,363]

Have to hope (I could never support) Carlton win, if only for the following reason.

Carlton make finals

Ratten keeps his job.

Malthouse not coach Carlton.

Cloke not join Mick at Carlton.

Cloke joins Neeld and Leigh Brown at MFC

MFC win 2014 flag.

Simple really.

[old dee 23,791]

Easy for me Carlton

I came from up Bendigo way and we were in Carlton"s zone.

Played junior football with Rod Ashmans older brother.

Always had a soft spot for Blues, was at the 1970 GF when the Blues got up against The pies

JEZZA you beauty.

If the Dees fell over tomorrow I would have trouble picking between the Blues and Hawks.

For me, support of a club is unconditional. If Melbourne fell over tomorrow, I'd take up lawn bowls ...... or something!
