Jaded No More

Carlton are in far better form than Sydney. GWS are a very good team who will trouble the finalists. They had to win to make finals and they did it. Carlton were coming off a long period of very hot games and were due for a tired loss. I don’t read much into it. Sydney are in no form. They can’t win a last quarter and haven’t beaten a decent side in weeks, and if not for a bad goal umpiring error and an interchange mishap by North they aren’t playing in September. Carlton at the G will get it done

LOL shows you how accurate it is. I would not bother checking until tomorrow after lunch, and even then it'll change 10 more times. My guess; it will either rain, or it won't.

For mine, I think Carlton will beat Sydney. Sydney are just not it. Lucky to make finals, and couldn't even beat us for a home final in round 24, when we had nothing to play for and lost Melksham. They also haven't beaten a top 8 side since midway through the season, apart from GWS. Carlton playing really good contested footy, and if Curnow has a good game I can't see them losing. However they'll then lose to the Pies, and the rest will pan out as you suggest. I've long thought that it'll be a Melbourne Brisbane grand final, but everything comes down to winning this week. Lose and I think we won't make it past the prelim.

Hope Toby gets off and gets his chance to play in his first AFL final. And has a great game. Although I want Saints to win.

I actually find the iPhone app to be weirdly accurate... but only 24 hours out. Any earlier and it's basically a random guess like any other weather app out there. Every chance the showers won't start until the end of the game or even later. Friday is now meant to be the worst rain of the week.

Jackson's eyes must be lit up that he gets to play finals again... oh wait

JVR can do to him what he apparently did to all our defenders in the pre season and knee him straight in the back. Absolute loud mouth.

He 100% copied me. Got a Cavoodle and named him Bear. My Bear is way cuter tho and a Melbourne supporter 😏

Incredible. Who do we think he can replace long term in our side?

Hunter >>>> Baker

He was performing, he was just having a sook about being a defender. He wanted the limelight of a forward, but Paul Roos knew he was a defender. Howey thought he'd jump ship and win a flag with the Pies as a forward, and take swipes as our club along the way. The club who plucked him from a life of being a tradie in Tassie no less. Ungrateful [censored]. Hope he never sees success.

Kane Cornes says small forward must not be inconsistent like ALL small forwards. The man is a genius.

His knee is cactus. Bone on bone. My best guess is he’ll retire with a year left on his contract and transition into a coaching role with our AFLW team which he already does part time.

Does he not know both clubs got equal allocation and the game sold out within hours?

So are you less worried now if it rains? Surely our vast experience counts for something.

Weather forecast on my app has changed again. Rain expected to stop by 6pm 🤷‍♀️ Its going to be a long 3 days

The last time I was checking the weather this obsessively was my wedding day. Spoiler alert: it rained

Even more reason to drink up!

When I did it, I fractured my patella. And the recovery was very very long. Granted I’m not an athlete but I was young and fit and it was a horrific injury to recover from.

Elliot scares me. We can cover the rest.

Is he levitating? 😂

Ex Melbourne players I actively barrack against J. Howe

The melts on this website that we overpaid for him. Classic Demonland.

Grundy is a competitor. If a spot opened up to go and win a flag you don't think he'd give it his all to win one? Of course he would. He's 29, this may well be his only chance. I have no doubt that if Gawn is injured Grundy will come straight in and give it 100%!

Can we use his knees on Cox's ribs... asking for a friend named Max.
