I will take a Carlton win any day. If we can not protect our place in the eight from here we just not deserve to be in it. Also helps to jump to 6th or 7th. 

Carn the Blue-baggers...

How good was Fevola, loved seeing him start that 1QT brawl... Gold

Blues havent scored in the 2nd half.

They remind me a lot of the 2016 Demons.

Blues have choked the 2nd Half very badly. 
it is an open game and they have kicked 7 goals

Clear free kick to Betts that would have put the Blues in front and then 3 quick goals to the Pies and game over.

Both teams were substandard

Casboult particularly disappointing

Does a Collingwood win help or hurt us, i know we should take our destiny into our own hands but in terms of the ladder, is this good for us?

 

 

 

That is Carlton's season over I'd reckon.

Good to see - I despise the [censored] !!

Hurts us, basically guarantees pies a spot in the 8 if they win 1 more. One less spot up for grabs by those fighting to get in

Just to add Expect in 2 weeks, dees gws and saints will all be on 9 wins with only % separating us. With one sitting 9th

Carlton are so soft. 4 points in a second half against their fierce rivals. Now they're out of finals contention the AFL can move them out of the RACV Noosa Resort and into the local caravan park to finish the season.

So it's a blunder now?  Talk about manufacturing a story from sweet FA.

Hopefully Carlton can knock over GWS next week but I doubt it.

Wow blues goalless in the second half against their bitter rivals. They’re done, now watch the Carltank come out.

If it's not West Coast in Perth it is Richmond or Geelong or less likely Port or Brisbane at their home grounds.

Finishing 8th would be a nightmare whichever way you look at it.

..... but better than finishing 9th, which gives zero chance of advancing at all ?

Must say I like the jaguar symbol on the back of our jumper. Most of the car logos are rather nondescript.

Took me years to work out who SEW were on the back of the hawks jumper.

Yeah, the truth doesn't sound so sensationalist...

"Goal umpire makes correct decision at the goal line after getting into perfect position and having unobstructed view from around 6ft..."

"... while completely objective opposition player with no ulterior motive, lunging at full stretch, who probably can't see it that well and almost certainly doesn't know the rules anyway, claims he touched it."

IMO - it helps in that in now knocks Blues out of finals race, and Collingwood are still catchable by Dees . They were less than impressive today and they have a tough draw, one less game and I would rather meet them if we make finals than Blues.

One less contender. I think the Saints could also well be worried with their run home.

Dees have to win nevertheless.

Dees will be well into the 8 in your scenario, as if all teams win the next two matches then % rankings should probably staty the same with GWS in 9th spot. A 10% gap can't be made up in low scoring and shorter games .  Apart from us, no 60 point blowouts to worry about.

Saints may well win but only a 2% gap between them and Dees which could be made up and put the saints lowre than us.

In additon, as a possible early Christmas bonus,  if the Lions beat the Pies next week, as I suspect, then Pies next have a bye and could drop out of thge 8 altogether by end of next two rounds.

Beats a game and a half break on us.

Yes but Blues would have been on our tail as well.

Best result was a Blues win. This outcome 2nd best.

North Melbourne are in for a world of pain. Next year’s Adelaide.
