Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon to finish 9th, 10th & 11th. AFL might have to extend Wildcard Round to 12 teams.

I only saw the last quarter and a bit EH but they were giving me Dees 1987 finals vibes as they couldn't do a thing wrong. Like when we steamrolled North and Sydney at the G in consecutive weeks.

I'd be happy to have an extra game I could attend too BBP. As most of our supporter base prefer to watch us on TV however perhaps it's better we pocket the $800k.

Richmond home game at Marvel whilst Marvel tenant Carlton play a home game at the G. Marvel is where we'd be playing if we brought our Alice Springs game home.

Poor old Carlton. Said nobody ever.

Had no intention of staying and some might argue he'd already checked out during his final year with us. Hasn't pulled on the red & blue jumper for almost two years now. Won a flag which will hopefully be his last. Time to let it go.

Just turned on the footy to see that Carlton are getting humped and Curnow has just hobbled off the ground. As Bruce McAveney might stay. Delicious!

I walked up to Ardeer (rail replacement buses on the Watergardens line) to catch a v-line service and when I boarded they announced that it was a 'football special' service that went express straight to Southern Cross in 15 minutes. It went right past the line of schmucks waiting for replacement buses at Sunshine station. It was also three quarters empty with nobody wearing any football colours onboard. MCG concourse was like a ghost town, just like the Giants game. We had our entire row in N53 to ourselves and no lines for anything inside the ground. It wasn't even cold as I sat in a jumper without a jacket for the entire night. Even the unavoidable replacement bus on the way home was full of sad sack Essendon supporters. It was a Kolt set shot away from being a perfect night.

As has already been said, a great effort but poor execution cost us another very winnable game. Port's skill level was barely any better. I feared we'd get touched up tonight so don't feel too bad. Hard to see where we were going to get our goals if not for Kozzie though. Another pathetic turn out for another home game meant no queues at the bar or the loo again.

Hi WCW. Fortunately I'm within walking distance of Ardeer station on the Ballarat line as well as a metro line so can avoid the bus. At least on the way in. It wouldn't surprise me if we get rolled in all of our remaining games but we all live in hope.

Didn't see the interview you're referring to ET but what you say reminds me of Rick Lever giving off similar media sound bites whilst still at the Crows when in reality our recruiting department had been working on getting him to the Dees six months out from his eventual move.

Unlikely as Carlton will have already won the Fair Play finals spot for the team with the least amount of player suspensions over the home and away season.

Carlton v Collingwood knockout final at Traeger Park in Alice Springs. Please make it happen.

Collingwood and Essendon likely finishing 9th & 10th this year was the sealer on the deal.

Don't forget to put the key under the mat too. Last home game it was my turn and I nearly forgot.

Quite happy with that result. Blues now a game and a half out of the top four if Brisbane win tomorrow. Important since they have WC away and St.K to finish their season. If Hawthorn lose tomorrow but beat Carlton the following week they could both end up miss finals. Along with Essendon, Collingwood and of course rock bottom Richmond. How sweet.

Didn't Fitzroy beat league leaders North Melbourne by 150 points at the Junction Oval in the early 1980's?

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. And I've followed Melbourne for most of my life.

Left early enough to miss all the dogs fans on the train. That’s a win yeah?

I'm bracing myself for a thumping tbh but hoping for the best of course. Dogs off a five day break should help but they have their tails up right now.

Do you have buffering issues on the international space station CHF?

Marvel tomorrow night. Get your lame excuses valid reasons in early.

If it has to be a Victorian side then I'll be cheering for the Dogs, although they'll probably have to win every game between now and the GF so unlikely. If it has to be an interstate side then probably GWS as nobody outside AFL HQ will GAF.

Bowie is actually pronounced as Bowey.
