Kind of like when they were cooked in 2012 :lol:

But seriously we should win that game. Is Ben King still going to be out?

Yeah exactly like 2012. Same as then, if we can’t beat them we really don’t deserve to play finals

The question now is whether Carlton is capable of winning 6 in a row from here?

We have the knack of finding a way to win, like all Premiership teams did.

Absolutely capable. We have 3 all Australian players to come back in plus another 3-4 best 22. The system is working.

There are NO standout teams this year. Everyone is gettable

It's crazy but we're still not over the line and wouldn't want to be turning in a stinker next week.

I don't know what the hell everyone is on about in this thread?

I knew we would beat Melbourne and there is no chance we are getting beaten again this year.

Cancel your September holidays now folks! ;-)

On ch7 last night they said Carlton are now in the finals. I'm too lazy to work out all the permutations, does anyone know if this is true?

Mathematically we're not there yet. A lot will have to go against us to miss but it's still possible.

Also, other than potentially the tiggers, we're first up next week of all those contending for 5 to 8. Just win our game and take it all out of the equation.

It will be slightly clearer after today.

1 win will do it pending other results over the next 3 rounds.

If any of Saints, WBD and GWS lose today, then they need to win 2 more (ditto Geelong) and we need lose 2 to miss.
Essendong need to win the next 2 and hope those teams lose at least 1.

Or...

with the patently obvious looming, the AFL desperately attempts to prevent it by appealing to the 11th Circuit to extend the season to enable more teams to become potential obstructions to Carlton's finals aspiration.

A final appeal to the Supreme Court succeeds when it is argued that West Coast deserve the Mathematical Opportunity to deprive Carlton of playing in finals.
AFL submission argues for 11 more rounds to be added.

Port at Marvel - they've gotta lose at some point right?

Eagles at Marvel - lol well.

Filth at the G - can't see it happening.

Saints at Marvel - they are gettable.

Melb at the G - see above, especially if they're having one of their semi-regular stinker games.

GCS at GC - we usually suck up there, but if they're out of finals contention they might have shut up shop.

Giants at Marvel - this could be the decider!!


Port - tick
Eagles - tick
Filth - tick
Saints - tick
Dees - tick

GC out of finals running now too.

If the highest ranked teams win the remaining games, except for us, it's out of us and Sydney for 8th on percentage

Carlton can still finish 3rd.

Peeples peeples - one Never succeeds by looking behind.

Premierships are won by those looking ahead and defying the odds.

If all you want is to just make the finals I can't convey my contempt enough.

We should be looking at our path to GF from - at worst - 5th.

P.S.
Port Adelaide can drop to 7th if they fail to win another game

Just win next week and the AFL can stick their rd24 6:10 time slot up their arse...

Exactly. They're hoping we fail. We won't.

It’s inexplicably cruel to make us play at 18:10 in the last game of the season.

The love to watch us suffer.

Pleas win next week.

No, we can still miss out.
Need clubs below us to lose but we are not there yet.
