If we beat Carlton...

[Engorged Onion 10,215]

Mmmm, poll time.

[dee-tox 4,835]

Interesting. I've tipped against us which, of course, never works. Last time was against the Lions. Simple case of who is hungrier. 

[BDA 22,755]

A lot of Carlton supporters coming out of the woodwork at my workplace. Their uprising needs to be put down. Brutally if possible.

If we beat them they'll be back to struggling to hang on to make the 8.

Do it Demons, for all the AFL.

It's going to be a finals type of game. I think we have enough talent and drive to put their streak to an end. But it's a nervous wait for me. Not only will it help cement second spot but will help quell all the media noise that the blues are a real chance for the flag. It must be done.

You know the answer to this EO.

Right now it's a big test and we hope we are good enough to beat them.

If we do win then Carlton weren't good enough anyway and we need to be 'a lot better'

Nothing on your frenzy this week old son!

Keep it coming.

I love it, nothing like a good solid frenzy! Ok so I was a bit mean to Jefferson but he’s a big boy and I’m sure he can handle it.

If we beat Carlton it will make me happy. Simples.

If we beat Carlton it might shut that [censored] King up for 5mins until he needs to tie his wagon to the next team that suits his stats. He is fond of a big statement Kingy, this weeks was the Carlton midfield are "brutal", no one can stand in their way. You have to ask; can anyone believe a man that plucks his eyebrows?

I haven't been this nervous since a minute in to the 2nd quarter last Sunday.

[adonski 12,132]

I reckon we'll absolutely torch them

Haha ...

Blues supporters are everywhere, maybe even on Demonland 👤🧐

I don't think think the Carlton team that is fielded on Saturday night is necessarily a 'reference point' as it will be missing Walsh, Cerra, McKay  McGovern and Silvagni.

The Blues managed to get over the Saints with a depleted side last week and that was a spirited win, but the Dees are definitely a much tougher challenge for Carlton. Should be a great match, am looking forward to watching it at the 'G on Saturday night ...

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

Blues are pumped up to the gills. Super tough challenge for us. 

[Rednblueriseing 824]

They are in real hot form... but we are not far behind... if we get it done we will sure up 2nd spot and be flag favourite

You can only beat the team that's in front of you and we only managed to get over North last week and Richmond the week before who got torched by the Bulldogs last week.

I think winning consistently is a better measure and Carlton are there on that at the moment.

[fr_ap 2,488]

It all hinges on Curnow. If a job can be done on him, I'd back our medium defenders over their medium/small forwards. 

Not convinced we will score a lot with Grundy in place of Petty as they're a very good defensive team

[DubDee 25,862]

Don't buy into the hype.  The Blues haven't made finals for over a decade

With a full team they are a 6-8 placing team. And they are far from full strength

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,702]

If we trample them this coming Saturday night those footsteps will continue to get louder and the panic will set in all over again at Princess Park.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,825]

Haven't seen one of these threads in a while.  Think that's a great sign of how well the team is going that winning more games than not has become our base expectation.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

I’ll be more interested in how we play. Sure a win is great but if Grundy does nothing and somehow Melksham kicks a bag then I’m not sure I’ll take a whole lot of confidence from it.

[Jaded No More 68,915]

I am in full blown weather watch mode

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

We are due for a statement game. We have had patches of great footy in the past month, but nothing from start to finish that was without compromise.. .a game that will send a shiver down the spines of everyone else in the comp.

it has to be a convincing win in both the way we play and the scoreboard. the opponent is irrelevant.
