what scares me is our game plan we give back to the opposition to many F....k n times, happening all year coaches have to come with new game style that prevents this from occurring LONG BOMBS straight to melb players . We were very lucky last night and sometimes with luck you can go FAR .

Don't worry, I wholeheartedly agree with this too, I was utterly apoplectic with anger and frustration at the shit-show performance in the 3rd quarter where we squandered backline exits time and time again.

Kicked a lousy 2.2 when we were in front and could/should have put the game away only to surrender the lead.

Don't know if I can watch that Q again.

Can't fault the attitude, the desire and the intensity, but there is so much improvement in this team, from a simple skills perspective. Can we get it together for two more games???

A lot of talk about how Melbourne kicking inaccuracy at goal.

I think for ever missed chance they had we cost ourselves 3 goals with disastrous turnovers up the ground.

Poor kicking is not just at goal

Must listen and see for Daisy Pearce saying "Oh, shit!" after Acres' goal. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Melb commentary at the end is priceless :grin: :grin:

Who are the Melbourne commentators? Is the female Daisy? It doesn’t quite sound like her, but maybe it’s just the stress of the moment. And who is the bloke? He sounds familiar but I can’t place him.

Loved the Carlton-only commentary again :grin:
The bloke is Tom Morris. "I hate that song" :lol:

Not sure if the woman is Daisy

I was at the game with my 30 year old son and 23 year old niece who are diehard and rusted on but have had almost zero success in their time but have hung in there. I don’t know how they’ve done it. At least I’ve witnessed 8 Carlton flags. Jack my sons only highlights in his whole life have been the 1999 prelim and the 2013 Judd Game elim against Richmond. Sad. Who would put a kid through that


I was thinking about this when it was mentioned on the radio this will be our first preliminary final in 23 years. That's exactly half my life, hard to fathom that four flags between my 4th and 18th birthdays would be followed by such a pile of dung. Harder still to wrap my head around the idea of 80%, 90%, even 100% of one's footy consciousness being so starved of top table nourishment. Whatever happens the rest of this month, we really need this to continue for the next few years; we've served our sentence!

I remember some pundits saying we should pick Schache over Weitering because we needed a key forward

So true. The Dees should be grateful they got a point added to their score for their bad kicks. We got nothing for ours.

All of them were exceptional in that play.
Ollie Hollands for a moment again if you will. A young young player under the most incredible pressure imaginable, positions himself brilliantly for the Weitering outlet kick. Takes a hot mark with his opponent 2 meters away. If he drops it Melbourne goals and we lose His litttle pass to Doc was shallow but I think intentional. It gives Docs Melbourne opponent a sniff but he overran the spoil lost his feet Doc is as off and the rest is history. If the pass was more lateral Docs opponent wouldn’t have attempted the spoil. Doc would have had to kick over the mark and the next passage likely would t have happened. We lose.
Then there was Ollie’s run down tackle which turned it over to us. If this didn’t happen the ball was heading to the Melbourne goal square.

Two brilliant game defining plays from Hollands. Exceptional

The 95 GF is possibly my earliest football memory. I was almost 7.

It's hard to say for sure, because I have vague memories of watching us play at Princes Park, and a game my Dad took me to at Waverley against the Hawks. They might have been before the flag.

My Dad's side of the family all went to my uncle's to watch the game. Only 2 of the 5 families were Blues supporters, but we all watched the GF together every year back in those days.

My uncle Joe (Blues supporter) picked Sticks out of the hat as the first goal kicker, and I was shattered. I ended up with Justin Madden, which everyone thought was hilarious because my name's Justin.

I remember Sticks and Pearce kicking goals, because they were my favourite players. I remember playing markers in the pack at half time with my cousins. But that's about it.

Most of my memories of that game come from watching the replay a few times over the years. I'm hanging for a flag that I'll be able to remember fully.

The funny part is, I've got two kids of my own now, close enough to 1 and 3. If we end up winning a flag (or 3 :P) over the next few years, they'll potentially be in the same boat that I was.

I can not tell a lie. 5 mins into the 3rd quarter, Mrs Caz says..............."It's you or me!".................to leave the TV room. :eek:

So I left and went and lay on the bed with my headphones listening to the soothing sounds of Londan Grammar. I'm not proud of myself, but I was serene and most importantly, the TV was not broken. :lol:

At the end she came in and was highly agitated :lol: :lol: She told me the result and I am all the better for it :donk: :donk: :donk: :thanks:

Go Blues.

Regards Cazzesman


I have completely ignored both finals until the result is known. I can't deal with it live. So both weeks I head off for a surf at URBNsurf then sit in the garden office watching docos until 10.40pm when I get the scores.Then up til 2am watching the replay only 2/3rds as nervous as I would be watching live.


Amen Brother. I am deadset getting worse with age. Maybe because we have been so rubbish, for so long my football loving brain is fried.

Regards Cazzesman


i was in my open office at work, no sound as th owner was hanging arou,nd. i had to switch the game off as i was shaking more than michael j fox, and i was a 'bit' agitated...... almosst cried when a mate in melbourne sent me the end of game scores
