Always thought the winners of today's game would have a real chance next week

Big ground will certainly suit us better than the SCG.

To go or not to go?

I think they will carve us up. Tippett will be a big concern, along with their lesser talls up forward.

But then I thought we would lose to Port. And I thought we would lose to Richmond.

I'm going.

Cost a motza after looking at going this week. Save it for the GF...

I didn't like seeing Waite holding his back. He looked like he knew he had done something to it and has a history of back injuries.
He did kick well straight after it and then came back on after a rest. Not sure he would be feeling to good tonight. Fingers crossed he can play next week.
We are much better team with him up forward.

Keep up the good work.

I don't think we stand much of a chance either.

I know it's 2 years since the WCE finals loss & different opposition this time but I'm thinking the boys will be looking for some redemption for the missed chances that night.
The Swans will be super tough, we all know that, but this isn't new ground for us. Leaving the ground that night I'm sure all the boys wanted to get back to that place as soon as possible well now it's only 6 days away!
We are a big chance in this as long as we contest like our lives depend on it! BELIEVE CARLTON BELIEVE!!!

A massive chance against the Swans! They are really struggling after 1/2 time in their last few games ... seems we are starting to do some of our best work after 1/2 time the last month or so ... we traditionally match up and play well against the Swans, I think we are a real chance!!

They are as vulnerable as they've been for two years.

Short turn around but the bigger risk is the sense amongst our players that they've done enough.

Did you see them at the end of the race at the finish? They had a group hug and had some quiet words with each other. Me thinks they get it, and have some serious game time to play yet

This is a game we can definatelly win.And i reckon we will............after that,who knows ?............

Seriously,dont think the Swans are as good as some think.Reckon we are as good ability wise and have more improvement in us than them.I expect Mitch,Tommy,and Yarran to be SPOT ON from the first bounce...............if ever a bloke needs to stand up it is Yarran.Unlike others,i reckon he has been pathetic.Infuriating part is you know he is capable of big things.Hopefully Mick puts it on him bigtime this week and he answers in the only way possible and that is with a brilliant individual matchwinning effort....................For Eff sake Yazz,do something...........Ugh !

Goodes, Sam Reid and LRT - might play but would be barely half fit
Rhys Shaw - out for the season

McVeigh appeared to injure himself (hamstring?) late in the match against the Hawks on Fri night - not sure how significant the injury was.

Hope we see a big Navy Blue contingent up there :thumbsup:

Again, nothing to lose. Just want to see the boys enjoy themselves and leave nothing behind.

I want to sit with some mates who aren't members.

also does anyone know if you can buy tickets through the club? i'd prefer to sit in the carlton supporters area if possible.
