You beat me to the punch.

If it was a day or so later this would be a good move, but they're playing almost simultaneously so it's not.

But why does it matter if they play simultaneously? Give Jamo a map to Port Melbourne and see how he goes!

Well, after the last game vs Essendon*, which I took my Essendon* supporting nephew too, quite a stir was made about the amount of...heated discussions I ended up in with others.

Unfortunately, it appears there's a common trend and the incidents that occured weren't the first of their kind. So for this week I've had to vow I'll be good and not end up in any blues (pardon the pun).

What that means is this.

a) no sorting out seating arrangements for others, this includes asking people sitting in the wrong seats to move so others blocking my view can sit down and supporters just being arseholes. Sadly, this category has been reserved for fellow Carlton supporters.

b) no barracking and whinging about umpires. Yes, this means I'll have to sit there like a stunned mullet regardless of whats happening so no pinhead Essendon* supporter feels the need to turn around and have a go at me because I'm rightly pointing out Scott Lucas has his hands in Lance Whitnalls back or Heath Scotland has just had his head taken off. I'm assuming no one was game enough to have a go at me after my reaction to the play on call after Yarran charged off the bench and tackled Hille ( ? ) who'd had the ball for long enough.

c) I'm driving in to avoid the numpties on the train.

Because its the state of his injuries that are in question, not the intensity of the game.

You guys gotta chill.

Team will be unchanged.
Bower is playing Bullants.
Tuohy is the emergency they're taking to the ground, will stay till bounce then play second half with Bullants.

But, you can still keep sweating on the media reports if u like.

Yes, and that's why I said that if he's ok but there's a bit of a cloud, don't play him in the AFL but play him in the VFL. Because if he doesn't play any football this weekend, how can he play again this year?

Anyway, as you say, hopefully he's ok.

Slightly off toptic but what is the logic behind the VFL scheduling the Bullants at the same time?

Seems ridiculous.

Officially a sell out tomorrow.

Confirmation that there will be 90,000 plus at the MCG tomorrow.

On Saturday evening, the winner of the Carlton/Essendon* elimination final will travel to Perth to take on West Coast at Patersons Stadium with a 5:50pm local time bounce

When all is said and done, here we are in a huge final at the G. The selections have been made, there are lucky and unlucky players. But I am expecting a ferocious assault by the Blues, and am feeling very confident. So much so that I am preoccupied with the fall of the cards that means we don't get the Hawks next week.

I haven't been this excited for a final since I was 12, no actually ever. When I was 12 we started our premiership run and we didn't stop for almost 30 years. I thought finals were a Carlton birthright. The last decade has been rather sobering. Supporters like me have had a dream run. Supporters under 25 would barely remember Carlton's truly great sides. Tomorrow is a rebirth. Lets smash them Blues! Everyone who doesn't barrack for us despises us, so let's ruin everyone's weekend except ours. GO BLUES!
