AFL - Round 9 (non MFC Games)

[Whispering_Jack 29,370]

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.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,786]

I'll be doing anything other than watching this game.

Whatever happened to the idea that teams suddenly improve massively when a coach gets sacked and replaced by someone else?

Such as us losing to Carlton by only 76 points in the first game after 186 when Dean Bailey was sacked?

[What 18,810]

Will be shocked if Sydney win by less than 100

150+ is more likely

[Gorgoroth 12,786]

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

[Biffen 12,937]

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.

[hardtack 10,441]

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.

Walk on the wild side, DC, walk on the wild side ...

[Seraph 1,824]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,786]

AFL, giving back our Friday nights!

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

[Cards13 9,117]

AFL bringing the game back to the fans.

[Emerald 1,744]

Swans by 187 points.

Buddy 10 goals.

Tippet 10 goals.

Mick at home relaxing with a few bongs.
