I thought Judd had changed the culture all on his own?

Brock-you drank too much of your own bathwater son.

The flag favourites are gone.

Time to raid their stocks .

Thats right one the good thing to come from Teams like Coll,Ess,Carl losing is that they will need to make list changes end of year.

So more mids on the market for us.

Hope the new coach cleans out the recruiting department.

Where are all the "Judd is a great leader" threads now?? Judd is a mercenary (but a good footballer) that cars about Judd and Judd only.

Oversaw a drug fuelled regime at West COke, had a 17yo Levi Casaboult tiled to him on the end of year cruise and git so sick had to call his Dad to collect him, Watched but did nothing as an alcohol fuelled Fevola went on a rampage at the Brownlow..

And who could forget Rd 22, 2007. Third wooden spoon in a row, third number 1 draft pick in a row....for what??

Ha ha ha ha ha h ah ah ah ahah aha ha ah ahaha ah

I have to admit last evening was one of the best I can recall for a long time. While all you Southern folk had to be content with enjoying last night's demise from your couches, I had the distinct honour and pleasure of witnessing the event first-hand from the Stand at Metricon Stadium.

When a group of us gathered at Emerald Lakes for a pleasant pre-game meal, we had no inkling of what was to unfurl once we had strolled across the road to the ground.

First goal to the Suns. The locals were happy.

Second goal to the Suns. The locals were very happy.

Third goal to the Suns. The locals were looking at each other with quizzical looks.

Fourth goal to the Suns. The smiles were getting bigger.

Fifth goal to the Suns. The locals could get used to this!

Sixth (unanswered) goal. The natives were getting restless. Could the blue-baggers be kept to a goal-less Quarter? Alas, not to be.

Quarter time. A few minutes to take in what had just happened. It was great. SIX goals to 2!! But, surely it couldn't continue! Could it..??

Second Quarter. The Blues came out breathing fire. A quick goal, and the locals were starting to twitch a little in their seats.

BUT, then the Suns fought back. Another FIVE goals to one!!

Half time was a very happy time for the long-suffering locals. ELEVEN goals to just four!! WE could only imagine what was going on in the Carlton rooms. Would have loved to have witnessed it!

Sure enough, the third quarter came, and the Blues started to look like maybe they oughta do something about resurrecting their season. As the quarter wore on, the locals became more and more nervous.

Three Quarter time, and just 12 points in it. Not looking good. The delerium of the locals was starting to fade. The large percentage of the crown who were blue-bagger supporters had found their voice. Not pretty!

So, the final quarter began with trepidation in the camp. Was there ANY hope of the young Suns, missing a heap of their best players from the line-up, possibly stemming the tide and hold off a rampant Carlton team who's season (and their coaches job) were clearly on the line. Just a 12 point margin, and a full quarter to go. Oh Dear! Could we bear to watch. Was carnage about to be unleashed on our poor, local heroes? Should we leave now, and spare ourselves the humiliation of daring to believe the impossible? Was there ANY hope of the Suns getting their second ever home victory? Dared we to dream?

The final quarter was great! The Suns stuck to their task, as the arm wrestle ensued. No matter what Carlton tried, the Suns managed to stick with them.

Late in the quarter. 28 minutes on the clock. Still a 2 goal ball game. The ball was deep inside Carlton's forward line. All the quarters had been long -- around 30 minutes. Still possibly a couple of minutes to go. Plenty of time for Carlton, if they were good enough.

Then, the siren sounded, long and loud. (Is there any better sound in the world, when your team has its nose in front...??)

Euphoria swept the stands!

The Suns had done themselves proud! They had stuck at it for 4 quarters, and reaped the rewards.

And, Carlton? Ah, how sweet it was to see that dejected mob remove themselves from the Arena! Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch!

And, then, I began to dream. If the Suns could do it against a team who HAD to win to make the finals, maybe, just MAYBE my beloved Dees could also do it against the Crows. Do it for Greeny.

Then, on our way out of the ground, we heard still more sweet news. The Pies had been devoured by some hungry Eagles out West!

Sometimes, footy is a VERY nice game!

Bring on the Crows. I'm excited!!

In all this its discussed as though the Blues lost it.. Lets give some credit here the SUns WON it !! and good for them. I see GC as soirt of legitimate. Whereas I see GWS as an abomination and a vessel of all things wrong

p.s I hate carlton though

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
