Picked the blues but barracking for sainters.  I remember last year they were losing all game you heard nothing we panicked in the last two minutes   Gifted them the game and they celebrate as if they were champions all blooody day

 

Stuff them as hard as possible  

 

Are you talking about that semi last year? We may’ve panicked in the last two minutes but we didn’t gift them the win. The score review result gifted them the win when Tracc’s goal was deemed touched by Marchbank when it clearly wasn’t.

    Poor Carlton. Imagine having to sit through an entire Fremantle v Port game for any reason.

    It won’t make me feel much better about out our year, and it has come at the cost of us finishing 14th (eek), but we are very close to a final series without the blues, pies or bombers. Still the cats, but that’s a grumble for another day. 

    It’s not a bad side quest win!! 

    LET’S GO FREO!!!!!!  🤣🤣🤣

    Feels like whoever advances between Freo and Carlton will be a "lucky loser".

    Surely Brisbane is a huge favourite at the Gabba.

    4-4 since 2019,

    Although, to be fair, they have won their last 3 there.

    (Roughly) ... A 25 point win to Freo gets the Cats up to 2nd spot on the ladder

    Cats vs Port or Port vs Cats in a QF 

    Still a bit to play out

    Port win and they play the cats at home.

    Lose by more than a a few goals and we all put up with cats demanding they play port at Tax payer Park.

    I wonder if Dan Houston is having second thoughts about his second thoughts 🤔

    I got such a thrill seeing Carlton  having a last minute loss. I remember their gloating when they so luckily beat us in themFinals last season( and during the season if I remember correctly).

    It annoys me how the Carlton fans scream for “ BALL” every time the opposition touch the ball. It works after a while, with the undisputed “ noise of affirmation” affecting the umps.

    Imagine needing Freo to do something you need them to do. A less reliable club you won’t find.

    That wasn't the semi that was during the season. The semi was acres goal when we did panic. 

    So cathartic watching the blues lose by a kick with 33 seconds left.

    What would be funnier? Carlton missing out, or Carlton scraping in and getting smashed by Brisbane? 😂

    This is the worst way to miss finals 

    Lose to a team with nothing to play for in the last 15 seconds

    Go Blues!

    Sorry if already mentioned but what has to happen in this match to get Carlton into the eight?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
