Gee, you blokes took that hard
Not at all. Just a dumb comment . I expect that from collingwood supporters to be honest.

Oh you delisted him!!Turn it up
He came to Melbourne in the rookie draft 17 years ago, and was delisted at the end of the same season without playing a game.

I’d be very worried if I were you.
Charlie’s about to have a field day…

Not at all, you just didn’t understand it and got all parochial about your blue baggers.

Honestly, let’s hope this isn’t decided by a technology induced stuff up or inconsistent umpiring from either side. It’s been a pretty tumultuous year and the Maynard decision was borderline corrupt.

There’s nothing parochial about pointing both teams have a prelim final berth to play for.
I’d call that factual. But each to their own, I guess.
That is the better football story. Romantic for Carlton's first finals run in forever AND hilarious for Melbourne going out in straight sets (again)

People not realising having an ex Demon umpiring could actually work in Carlton’s favour. You just never know.
It’s just something that shouldn’t happen in professional sport. He won’t change the result tonight but why not send him to Adelaide this weekend?
The AFL do not care about the little things and they stuff up the things they do put their energy into. No integrity.

Melbourne team is missing the ruck and followers, only 15 players. Could you amend it please? Thanks.
Two fairly brutal teams facing off. It's hard to forget the last time they met, in the most exhausting and warrior like game I've seen in years. As an ol fart, it took me back to the 1971 GF which is the standard bearer for tough hard unrelenting footy.
These 2 teams have a fair bit of flair as well. It won't all be hand to hand combatr. Concerting i50s will be key, as it always is. But end of day it will be won in the trenches, and who can manouvre the ball forward better.
Carlton being faster have an advantage, their forwards are better too, they have a method i50.
Dees are a murderers row of tough nuts, not speedy, more like a bulldozer than a ferrari. It has its merits.
I can't wait, a real 50 50 game.
At gun point I would choose Dees due to experience, rebound effect, and despite the shrill commentary on how bad their forwards were last game, the rest of the team is in form.
In a close physical encounter, Dees by 1 point!

He was with the Bullants for like 5-6 seasons too.
Honestly, I'm more concerned about Williamson umpiring this game. He always reams us.
He was shocking last weekend

More pressure on Melbourne to win imo
If Carlton lose tonight their season will still be considered a success and there will be a lot of optimism and momentum heading in 2024. If Melbourne go out in straight sets it will be considered a wasted season and the heat will come on them
Yup spot on succinctly put, I agree at the end of the day this is the sentiment exactly, should be a tough , tight match, skilled players on both teams should provide a great spectacle, worthy of finalists.
Go Blues.
Might hold a grudge....Turn it up

Been said but Brayshaw out is massive....... Our midfield will bat deeper.
Langdon not the damaging player he was so I think our wings with Acres, Cotters and Doc rotating also have an edge.
Kosi the x factor and we will have to be all over him like a cheap suit.
Gawn is a champion and we can only hope our two-man set up wears him down and limits his influence.
TDK around the ground will have to compete in the air with him and try to push forward running off him.
Pitto to simply harass and bullock.
Charlie ready to explode? I think the pressure of being the No.1 man particularly in the media last few weeks has not helped Charlie boy. He is a shy bloke.
The spotlight has not been on him this week thanks to Maynard and I have a feeling tonight he has a very big one.
Walsh and Cripps going head-to-head with Trac and Oliver will be huge and will go a long way to deciding the outcome.
Four cannons (very big guns
)
BLUES by a GOAL !

Agree, but I highly doubt any player is thinking about this while playing.

Every team would benefit from players lowering their eyes.
It's a problem Carlton has struggled with for about 20 years.

True, but I lost count of the number of times we randomly blasted the ball into the forwardline last week. It was a huge reason why we couldn't kick goals.
