Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[Membling]

This could've been a really good game but Carlton's poor finishing has kinda blown it open

 

[the hypnotoad]

yeah, can't deny i'm enjoying the giants overrunning carlton at the moment

 

[Mister B]

Curnow playing at full back. Fair to say Carlton are trying everything to stem this bleeding.

Have not understood all the fawning over Carlton this season.
Just like the second half of last year when the media were peeing their pants over them, very few of their wins, to me anyway, have been convincing, more sheer bloody luck that the better teams they played couldn't kick a goal to save their lives eg; 1st final V us last year, we had 23 shots to their 19, the following week against the Dee's they had 18 shots to the Dee's 26, even opening round this year against a very underperforming (at the time) Lions team, the Lions still had four more shots than Carlton.
I know and totally agree with the old adage that poor kicking is poor football, but in my opinion Carlton have really been on the positive side of the luck scale.
Of course, now I've said that, they will come out and go through the rest of the season undefeated, but up until now, I've not really gotten the whole Carlton are sooooo great thing.

The media lovefest over Carlton particularly from Fox Footy has been nauseating at best. The bias Carlton commentary SEN had during the finals was way over the top.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Now Fox Footy is crying about Carlton's injuries, the 5 players or so they have that are injured, jesus ****ing christ.

I could see either these two or Geelong in the GF.

Think last year's two grand finalists won't get there

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

GWS goal kicking accuracy is next level

 

[caesar88]

Don't get the Cripps hype

Jinxed the Giants dude.

If it's vs GWS then I would legit not watch it.

Could be Geelong vs Carlton.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

If it's vs GWS then I would legit not watch it.

If Carlton is in the Grand Final, good chance I won't watch it.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

The Giants have gone to sleep here. :S

Hard pass on any blues gf

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Don't get the Cripps hype

Do you see the hype now ?

 

[Mister B]

Jinxed the Giants dude.

Goes to show what an absolute downhill skier he is.

 

[ShireSwan]

yeah, can't deny i'm enjoying the giants overrunning carlton at the moment

And we are enjoying the opposite too.

 

[ShireSwan]

If Carlton is in the Grand Final, good chance I won't watch it.

We'll flog 'em. That would be my ideal GF really.
