At Least I Saw a Flag

Can't remember which season it was, but about 7 so years ago, Carlton won only 4 games for the season. 2 of their wins were against Melbourne, who weren't far off making the finals. MFCSS has set in, particularly in view of the fiasco regarding Cripps which Carlton will see as a victory. Demons were short priced favourites v filth (first time round), Freo (first time round),, Swans, . None of these matches ended well.

I popped in to the training session today. First time ever ! It was beaut to meet some D'landers ... As others have said, the general vibe (on and off the oval) was very relaxed. Go Dees !!!

and the Constitution.

It won't happen.

Besties .. and what ripper blokes they are !!

No way

So inevitable .. Is anyone here really surprised?.

Richmond won a flag with Grigg as second ruck. Ruckman ARE overrated unless they can go forward, or have X factor like Max.

The ground is public open space. The building is used, in part, for some useful community purposes. Victoria Park used to be referred to as the zoo. Insulting to animals really.

A high percentage of their supporters are vile. They are truly the filth. Seeing the filth win is as bad as seeing the Dees lose. When both events occur in the same match .... god help us.

Never understood why peeps pop an "h" in his name. 😲

JK .... respect.

Hope you're right ... he certainly shouldn't. But not so sure about that.

Here's a song for you. https://www.google.com/search?q=kumbaya&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBAU843AU843&oq=kumbaya&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i67i131i433j0i67i131i433j0i67j0i131i433i512j0i512l5.1534j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Jackson reminds me of Grundy. An undersized ruckman. I think paying massive overs for him isn't justified. Good luck to Freo if they go down that path.

Agree .... sadly. Happy to have seen a flag. Hopefully the team will be fitter next year and can challenge again. The filth brought in a few young players, which seems to have refreshed them. I think we need to do the same.

Sportsbet Demons $1.39 Carlton $3.02. They seem pretty juicy odds on Carlton.

Ian Dury summed it up best ... what a waste. The filth had a player (Johnston) playing his 9th game. 4 goals!! So disappointing. Bad enough to get overrun yet again ... but by the filth again.

These conditions are not favourable to lumbering oafs wearing Peabody glasses.

There have been quite a few matches this year where there have been late changes. Hopefully none tonight ...

Not as much as me.

Hey Binnie .... are you confident? You are the person whose opinion* I respect the most. FWIW ... the day has started well for me. Got Wordle in 2/6! *on matters pertaining to our beloved Demons

Annie, how about "nothing happening in this nick of the woods"? To digress, how about nouns used as verbs? e.g. "Abercromby Warbington-Smyth didn't medal in the 800 metres freestyle".

I think it will be pretty much 'steady as she goes' selection wise. BBB in for Weid ... Harmes med sub. ANB is out of form and was terrible v Freo, but he is important to the structure of the side. Same with Sparrow and Spargo. Hunt and Melksham have played their roles well. Rivers has been OK. Go Dees ... if we lose this one my whole weekend will be ruined.
