I'm running early with this thread to assist those who are hanging out for a Friday night televised Carlton game.

By some strange anomaly, the Blues are playing the Swans up in Sydney in that one this week and Sportsbet's really tempting punters to p1zz their hard earned down the toilet with odds of $18 a Carlton win.

Their team has some handy "ins" in Carrazzo, Henderson, Walker and Graham to balance the following players who will be missing from last week's near record 77 point loss to Geelong - Warnock (hip), Marc Murphy (calf), Bryce Gibbs (back), Chris Judd (knee). The Swans have made one relatively insignificant change.

Because the odds are so extraordinarily one sided, I've emailed Sportsbet and asked them to run a book on what time I fall asleep during the telecast. At the moment, quarter time is even money.

    I'll be awake and hoping to see the number 186 exceeded.

    Because no matter how bad a team is going, they're not as bad as we were, and I can't be truly happy until another bunch of supporters are as miserable as we were.

    Will be shocked if Sydney win by less than 100

    150+ is more likely

    Got to have something to work with to start with, and not travelling to the swans home ground when they are on fire.

    Carlton will struggle to get a goal.

    Buddy might get 10.

    will be texting my Carlton friends tonight to make sure they are watching the game.

    I don't think it will be boring at all watching Buddy and Tippet going head to head to see who can kick the most goals and guys like Parker seeing if they can upset their applecart.

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm looking forward to watching Carlton getting annihilated.

    Pundits on social media may well be right when they predict this game to be like the "red wedding" episode from Game of Thrones.

    I've never seen game of Thrones, but the weddings from both Kill Bill and Monty Python & the Holy Grail do come to mind.

    And I still continue to ask how the hell did Carlton get virtually every Friday night game this year.

    Thanks for ruining my viewing pleasure AFL & Channel 7.

    I don't think we'll see any 150+ results any more. Teams are more likely to switch off and rest key players these days than go for percentage boosting wins.

    If we don't see one tonight then there will be one tomorrow. Hawthorn never switch off.

    Swans by 187 points.

    Buddy 10 goals.

    Tippet 10 goals.

    Mick at home relaxing with a few bongs.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
