In case you missed it the goal that eventually won Carlton the game was off the back of one of the more blatant throws all season.

Did not even rate a mention by the commentators.

Fox could not be cheering harder for Carlton. Absolutely pukeworthy. At Gil's request of course.

I swear i saw twice in the last 2-3 minutes that free kicks were paid against a Carlton player, when the player had the ball in his hands, and he just dropped it to the ground - no 50 paid. In each case out would have brought the GC player within about 15 m of the goals.

Like us last week. Paid nothing when it could change the result.

Banner of the season goes to the GIants. 

This is great

That is Gold!  imagine the Giants franchise taking the mickey out of you?!

[Deebauched 1,220]

Good GWS. Thrash Essendon and end their sad season. They'll drop off against the Pies.

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

Carlton to finish 5th and get rolled by 8th placed Giants.  Put it in the book.

[DubDee 25,433]

Pies have the bye next week (bombers)

I actually dont mind it as they will get no confidence from beating the bombers

I reckon GWS will beat them next week too.

[DubDee 25,433]

Everyone talking up the Blues but the other form team the Giants are a serious team.   Will be tough to beat in finals

100%. Their defense is amazing. They just don’t have the fan support. 

[Dee-monic 620]

Latest results and form suggest we may be better off finishing fourth than third. I'd fancy meeting the Pies at the MCG rather than a possible trip to a Brisbane side running hot, especially if Daicos and Moore are still out for the first week.

They just know they’ve got Essendon beaten for pace. They run away from the stoppage.

Yeah pointed out on Twitter too

Bombers have been lame ducks for a while now.  Scraped over the line against two of the worst sides in VFL/AFL history.  Their form is putrid.  Collingwood would need another 6 of their best dozen out to lose to these guys next week. Hard to judge the Giants when they are playing witches hats, but I do hope they belt Carlton next week.

At least we can be confident the pies will beat the bombers. All we have to do is beat the third bottom side.

Who remembers the top 4 bombers??! 8 wins 4 losses

easy draw all year.  aside from north and WC they have won 1 game since round 12

Suck on it.  hard

I hate carlton. The only good finish to the year for them is to win next week and finish 5th which will be 10 wins in a row then lose the elim by a point. That would provide me with a great laugh.

Me too.

Faark Carlton, can’t stand them.

The only good thing this weekend is Essendon adding to the days without a finals win. 

[Jaded No More 68,835]

Our loss to Essendon this year is the only one that is truly inexcusable IMO. We played like absolute garbage. I’m still mad about it!

I agree.  Carlton's form has dropped

Giants will likely be 9th desperate to play finals and Blues with not much to play for assuming we beat the Hawks

[Chook 15,012]

Giants, Lions, Pies, Dees, Blues... Everyone is trying to pick the flag winner 5 weeks out.

No one has a clue who will win it, and anyone who thinks they do is underestimating the evenness of the competition.

Essendon are lucky to be 10 goals down. That’s how bad they’ve been.

was our biggest loss of the year by far, too

[DubDee 25,433]

Next year it will be 20 YEARS since the bombers won a final

This is really cheering me up
