Blues Free Football

Love watching Carlton’s version of Groundhog Day, unable to find a way out of the endless wilderness. Hope it continues for evermore.

Like others, I can’t forget their arrogance when they seemed to play finals throughout  the 70’s and 80’s, mainly due to the money they could throw at SA and WA stars. Just the name John Elliot still grates.  Their predicament makes you wonder if there is such a thing as karma.

    The Judd era in Carlton was a mediocre at best, yet they ran around acting like they were champions.

    Did they even win a final in that era?   They were the epitome of bruise free footy when September rolled around.

    They beat Richmond from 9th position...

    Hope the Blues didn't lure us into a false sense of achievement. Were were pretty good but were reasonably sloppy at times. The opposition were pretty damn dreadful, and were were able to capitalise on their under age level mistakes.

    Adelaide won't make as many mistakes, and will be much better organised.

    Last mention in this thread...

    I was at the bruise free game with a partner of mine at the time.

    She wasn't an Aussie or from an English speaking background so her remarks stung a lot....

    'It's the Carlton show...'

    'They aren't even trying'

    Some more memories about the Blues -

     

    That 4th win we had against them in 1988 to which Sandy refers - the prelim, out at Waverly is one game that is implanted firmly into my childhood memories.

    I wish Mitch Robinson was still playing for them and then we could get some payback for that comment. 

    Mitch who?

    Oh, you mean that useless has been/never was, the one that was rejected by the team presently bottom of the ladder and now player for an AFL backwater who presently only sit above Carlsum by the smallest of %.  - Payback enough.

    It's one thing for supporters of opposition teams to have a sledge like that post game, but gee it comes across as arrogant and ungracious for a present day player to make the statement he did.

    Even the Carlton Website didn't think they'd be in with a chance at halftime. Check out the 'Geelong by x' in the description to the article from their website.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
