Reasons for revenge, part #2:
1988 PF - we played crap in the first quarter, but we were the better team after that. The wind seemed to change direction in their favour after every break and they definitely got the rub of the green with the umpires. Ricky Jackson and Jamie Duursma…seriously?

At least they were exposed as pretenders the following week.
1994 & 2000 QFs - on both occasions, we were the better team during the season but they were the better team on the day. Bradley didn’t play in either game. The 2000 one particularly hurt as we were a seriously good side but had injuries to key players late in the year, plus we had our chances to put them away before 3/4 time.
1998 - 2 point loss at home.
2001 - 6 point loss at home (we were top 4 at the time, they were bottom 4).
2003 - heartbreaking loss at home in the ‘Vale Vin Waite’ game.
2004 - 105 point loss.
2005 - humiliated in our last game at Princes Park.
2018 - 109 point loss.
2022 - round 22.

I'm reliving nightmares which I live with all these years later, and pretend to my Dees lovin besties it never mattered by I remember them. Glad we got Spalding to do a bit of damage to them and the competition. To think, we were close to getting Oliver, like Greg wells, and what could've been.
I hope the Friday some of their players wished they were part of Carlton.
Bewdiful to my ears dannyboy. Sheer beauty.
We are back where we belong. The whole world knows it. Teenagers these days are only finding out what Carlton means.
Lets believe we will exorcise those Demons this Friday night abns, and may the force be with the Blues.
