Game Day 2013 Elimination Final: Carlton v Richmond discussion/celebration!

[GoBlues!]

The umps tried to give it to them but we were simply insatiable. Hungry hungry hungry. Great win. Ecstatic tonight boys

Hmm...I wonder what KB is going to say on SEN on Monday morning.

Apart from Cotchin, Maric and the umpires the rest of them went missing when it counted.

I'm not going to forget this game for a long time. Its about time we had one of these memorable games with memorable moments.

- Henderson's Mark

- Garlett running 50m into an open goal, then taking his time right at the end

- Duigan the late inclusion who had barely played all year, kicking 4 brilliant goals

- Mitch Robinsons controversial mistake, but also his amazing ability to fight back till the very end

There are more, I'm just too excited now to think of them all!

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Oh Carlton.
I think I have something in my eye...

Love the blues. Sydney here we come!

 

[ODNBlue]

The game.

Turns out you were right after all! GO BLUES!

Indeed, have sent Mrs Numbers away for a self indulgent moment.

Give me more.

We kicked straight when it mattered. Simple as that

 

[kingkingston]

Because he wasnt good enough - and still isnt.
Didnt see him at all today

i always thought he could get it but didn't damage teams

 

[JamisonRun40]

I thought our kicking for goal today was pretty good.

 

[kingkingston]

Mick doesn't like him as a backman, and I guess he has never been particularly convincing as a forward (defensive or otherwise) at AFL level.

Until quite recently .

he kicked three in a game against Collingwood last season when we upset them, i reckon he is far better as a forward, he gets clumsy sometimes but mistakes cost you less in the forward lines.

 

[Bluejob]

Yeah Duigs was tremendous. Is he the only bloke that shepherds?

Bell was good overall. Still needs to learn when to tackle and when to bump.

McInnes. Dropped next week, just hasn't been the same since his promising start last year.

Menzel... will be interesting to see if he plays next week, probably come down to injuries from today.

Judd....................

#BELIEVE

HELL YEAH gritty beautiful win!

 

[Impromptu]

I don't want to be Captain Obvious, but Judd wow Judd!

 

[mike ockerts]

Great feeling, It's official, Richmond are our bitch!!

 

[Brucie Buffer]

From a mutual the umpires did everything to make sure you didn't win. Congrats knock over the Swannies. I'm not bitter at all.

 

[Bazzar]

Congratulations on a job well done.

 

[Jatz]

Ye guys if you want you can go on the richmond contract status thread and join the party, maybe ask about the 'no deal' signal.

Hahaha I just read that, love your work!

 

[Sprout]

Just wanted to say, really chuffed for Duigan. Quality fella and probably my favourite Carlton player. Mystified as to how he hasn't got a game this year but proved his worth on the big stage.

Well done on today.

 

[basil00]

Richmond can kiss my big sav! I don't care about another games as long as i live. We have trumped the drug cheats and the tigs, and with the wobbles setting in last night, i cou;dn't be happier!

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Best win since 99.

I have said this all year, you need perspective in footy and there is no point throwing the baby out with the bath water when things don't go your way. Today proved why, we have a lot of good players who give it their all....well done Blue Boys, today was epic!!!

 

[Wickzki]

Dear Mr Bartlett

How does that box seat guaranteed win feel now?

Sincerely

Carlton

P.S You will eternally be Ninthmond to us

 

[T2B_]

Duigs, Gibbs and Waite in particular I feel really proved they can be real finals type players.

Robbie was also very good. Again he doesnt take any marks, but today I felt he still contested enough to have impact aerially, which is something we havent often seen. He does seem to play well in finals though, which is interesting.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Congratulations on a job well done.

Thanks Bazzar, at a moment where you must be shattered it take some class and courage to come on and say that. Well played.

Dear Mr Bartlett

Bartlett is becoming Richmond's John Elliott...they must just wish he would shut that hole below his nose!!

 

[GoBlues!]

I thought our kicking for goal today was pretty good.

It was probably one of our best - 18 goals, 6 points and 2 rushed behinds.

Duigan 4.0, Waite 4.0, Robbo 2.0..

 

[krayfesh]

Minor props to Mclean for pulling himself out of the game because he didn't feel right.

I have no voice, but I'd never speak again if I could keep this feeling.
