Yep, once a perception exists in the footy community it's very hard to shake. Was on the train yesterday sitting across from two Melbourne supporters talking about footy - they were saying 'Carlton is an ok team, but their defence is s***house. I really wanted to pipe up and say something, but thought better of it.


And their Melbourne supporters. What adjectives do they use to describe their team?

I thought I'd be a nervous !@#$%& wreck today but I'm pretty calm at the moment. That'll probably change in the next few hours.

Same... there's just a sense on inevitability about today for me.

We'll win this comfortably...

Not a single seat, not a restricted view or a standing room ticket to be had for this game - outside of a GF, can't remember too many other MCG games I've been to in my lifetime when that's been the case. Gonna be pretty special there today, would be a good day for the Blue to step-up like never before and show the football we belong on the big stage.

If Jamo is a definite starter & I see him limp through the banner....I'm in the MCC, lower level - Brett Ratten: prepared to be questioned as you depart the arena :smile:

It all comes down to accurary in front of goal.
That first shot ... that's when my nerves will be edge.

Through the middle Blues !!

Oh, a post-bye, I reckon Essendon* will be slow starters. If we kick straight I reckon
we could just about put them away by quarter time.
