GO BLUES!
We must win today. I need the emotional nourishment to help me through the first week of winter and to deal with my Bumber supporting work colleagues. :fight:

Yes and 24kph wind as well. Possible thunderstorms.
Good fun.

IIRC similar conditions to when we beat them last year.
Of course, you’d think they would have learned from that.

AND even if we do win, it won’t mean much on its own. Unless we can leverage the positivity into a few more wins. We did come out well against the Hawks after rolling the Dogs but couldn’t maintain it. Not sure whether that was because of Clarkson or perhaps because (again) we got ahead of ourselves.

In any event, Bolton needs 6 wins this year to keep his job and we need 6 wins to keep our sanity.

We need wins to start earning some industry respect back. Forget about our sanity and Bolton. This is about the club as a whole. Everyone is looking forward to playing against us!!!!

Bring the Collingwood game intensity and it should be close at least. Biggest danger to us is Tipping Woody....just the sort of player we don't do well against.

Bit of an anticlimactic no win situation today unfortunately. If we win there's really not much to celebrate. Its a depleted Essendon*. If we lose, well, we are on the bottom of the ladder for a reason one could argue. I don't see any upside to today's clash. Two once great clubs reduced to the laughing stocks of the AFL. Wannabe try-hards vying for the title of not as sh*t as them I guess. Carlton's business model of buying the best talent available (true free market capitalism) versus the AFL's socialist based dictatorship system will always be at odds with each other. Under a free market system Carlton ruled the roost. Since the AFL's socialist system was introduced 20 years ago, that severely punished Carlton for sticking to its business model - now called cheating - we have been decimated. Essedon tried another avenue to bypass the socialist system by drug cheating, but big brother has ways and means of dealing with all noncompliance. Of which we're more than happy to point the finger at a once great and powerful adversary to accuse them of the same. When all along we share the same enemy.

Two once great clubs who share a common misfortune. Today we go to the arena to kill each other for the emperor at the Colosseum ...

I’d agree there are similarities, hubris and idiots running both clubs and messiah complexes.

While I don’t think we would have been as dumb as Essendon* fans regarding Hird I think SOS is the current messiah following in the footsteps of Malthouse, Judd, Pratt, Pagan etc.

Still haven’t learnt to just get the right people for the right jobs, and I fear SOS will escape this current mess squeaky clean while Bolts is thrown under the bus.

Interesting article. John Elliot wouldn't put up with the rubbish we cop today.
I don't recall our being thrashed by Norf in the 1999 GF

The FOXFOOTY apologists for Essendon* still insist on calling it a “Supplements Scandal”

We will return the favour when we improve... start winning.

Lets hope that starts today.

I ate living in hope.

Which Carlton turns up today?
Obviously a very young one with Simmo, Murphy, Jones, Thomas and our leader Docherty missing.

Kreuzer (30), Ed (30), Casboult (29), Fasolo (27) are experienced players. FMD.
