Finally the day is here. Beautiful weather,will be a huge crowd,great experience for our boys.
We're well overdue for som bragging rights against this mob. Let's bring home the chocolates Baggers!!
The Pies are super fit we'll need to pace ourselves and go with them for the 4 quarters,they play strong up until the siren. Please no catch up footy in the last quarter today!

 

[BlueKnowledge]

There will definitely be a late change today

 

[Blues_1864]

I do want to say go all in. However, he gets subbed out early and its not good, can do further damage.

They can all rest next week after we win but can’t risk a players welfare either for the long term. Tough situation and decisions

Thank god I’m not making them

Yep. In this situation, I believe courage is telling the injured star he's out, turning to the no-name but match-fit emergency, and telling him he's in. As early as possible. If that's Walsh and Newnes, so be it. All year, we have subscribed to "next man up", and it has stood us in good stead. Let's go again.

Edit: Events have overtaken me, but I say good. Well done.

I hope not - not exactly like for like, u would think they bring in a mid

If they did do that I suspect it means Setterfield was slated to play wing and would move inside to cover Walsh.

 

[Blue Warrior]

Todays the day Carlton people!

Todays the day we finally start our assault on that elusive number 17.

Let's get out there and prove to the rest of AFL that we are ready to compete for the ultimate prize.

What were you thinking?... ha ha

 

[TENACIOUS]

About to leave, should get to watch 2nd half of reserves by the time I get my fat arse up to level 4…

 

[HarryFlashman]

If they did do that I suspect it means Setterfield was slated to play wing and would move inside to cover Walsh.

Which wouldn’t surprise me in the least- No point playing him where he’s effective Go back to the same old set up that doesn’t work

 

[AndyNicka]

Hi all,

Unfortunately bad health means I can't make it along today (of course this week of all weeks). I have an adult and a junior ticket available on level 1 if anyone wants a last minute ticket. Please PM me if you're interested!

Edit: tickets have been claimed!

 

[Rustica]

Too many guessers and rumours swirling right about now

 

[Jibroni]

Good luck today guys, please destroy the filth.

The finals will be better with an in form Carlton.

 

[portaz]

Can U go sit anywhere to watch the vfl game..? Might try catch 2nd half.

 

[Keyza]

To all our wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, patents and children, today is not ‘just a game’.

Carn BAGGERS.

My hubby and two of my children barrack for Collingwood.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Kind of representative of our whole year. Losing our best player for our most important game of the season after finishing the previous game with no obvious issues.

Why is it always us and always a star…

 

[skadoosh]

Is Walsh out official anywhere?

 

[Rustica]

Is Walsh out official anywhere?

Not yet. All hearsay atm

 

[marcmurphy3]

Cripps is going to need to play one heck of a game for us to win. I guess he has always wanted to play finals. Here's his chance

Lob and Newnes aren’t either

 

[HaydossJ]

LOB, Newnes and Fogarty all waiting in the wings. George too. Expecting at least 2 late outs FFS.

 

[RAPPA]

ffs may this be the only “injury” for today. We were screwed with Weiters going down in the first quarter of our game against them, and we are paper thin with our mids. Setters will no doubt be in the guts.

 

[BlueTongue]

Not yet. All hearsay atm

Sunday footy show (Barrett) repeatedly saying it’s more and more likely from what they are hearing

 

[Stamos]

 

[Blueballs38]

Honestly we just have zero luck when it comes to injuries for so many years now. Footy gods do not barrack for the blues
