The Blues in a nutshell - are a middle of the road side - not very well coached - We have 3 or 4 guns then start to drop off -
We lose to good sides - eg Dogs, Giants,Port,Coll and beat (usually) bad sides
Curnow and Harry - good defenders sort them out - small forwards exert nowhere near enough pressure - Love the Baggers to bits but as Dr Zachary Smith used to say in Lost In Space " Oh The Pain ! "

God will ensure that Hawthorn will win over Carlton as a means of avoiding the danger of a Carlton vs. Bulldogs final in September.
Why? Only He knows the reason. But take a look back through history and there have been so many cases of Carlton and the Bulldogs taking the last finals spot at the expense of each other, narrow finals results preventing a Carlton vs. Bulldogs finals match-up, freak regular season and finals results again putting a stop to a Carlton and Bulldogs final and changes to finals systems. This happened in 2022 and 2023, so one doesn't have to look too far back.
What could happen if there is a Carlton vs. Bulldogs finals match? Only God knows the answer, and it is His will not to disclose these. Perhaps the damage might be limited, like the bizarre weather of 536 or the Krakatoa eruption of 1884? It might be somewhat more serious, like Atlantis rising to the surface from the depths of the Atlantic or another ice age. It could be far worse, like an asteroid or comet colliding with the Earth like the one that killed off the dinosaurs. Maybe the Earth might start spinning west to east, and/or turn over so that Antarctica is at the North Pole and the Arctic at the South Pole? Or perhaps the moon might go spinning off into space?
One thing is for sure, results in the last weeks of season 2024 will be subject to higher intervention so we don't see the first ever Blues vs. Dogs final in 100 years.

Do you believe the earth is flat as well ?
We beat Port at AO, our losses to these teams were only a couple goals, margins are small between these teams.

No, I don't believe the Earth is flat; 6,000 years ago God created the Earth as a sphere that would rotate east to west, tilt on its axis to produce different seasons, a moon to orbit Earth to control tides and the Earth rotating the Sun along with the other planets. God created Earth's continents in the same positions as they are today, the only difference being Atlantis, which was submerged during the Great Flood and remains below the waters of the Atlantic to this day. And He filled these continents with all of the animals that we see today, along with dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and trilobites.
In all seriousness though, my post was a joke about how Carlton and the Bulldogs have never met in a finals series to date and have missed meeting each other in September in so many freakish ways. Wait a minute you say, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs have never played a finals game either, Richmond and Melbourne haven't met in a final since 1940 and there's other teams that tend to miss each other in finals like Hawthorn and Collingwood.
True in all cases, however the Tigers and Dogs have rarely been in the same finals series together and only once - 2020 - did a finals match between the two look a realistic chance. Melbourne and Richmond have only been in three finals series together since 1940 - 1941, 2018 and 2022 - while Hawthorn and Collingwood just seem to be an anomaly.
But with the Blues and Bulldogs it is so odd that Warwick Moss could do a segment on 'The Extraordinary' about it. There's been quite a few cases of the last spot in the finals coming down to the Blues or the Bulldogs, sometimes a direct match between the two, other occasions due to other results. Sometimes small percentages or two points from a draw have kept the Bulldogs or Blues from playing a final, or upset, unexpected or narrow results in finals. This has happened in every decade since the start of the 1930s, and under all finals systems - the Top 4 in the 1930s to the 1960s, the Top 5 in the 1970s and 1990s, the Top 6 in the early 1990s, the McIntyre Final 8 in the mid to late 1990s and the current Final 8 system used from 2000 onwards. In fact the change of Top 8 system from 2000 in itself prevented a Carlton vs. Bulldogs final. That year the Blues finished second and the Dogs seventh. They would have played a Qualifying Final in the McIntyre system, but the change in finals system meant they did not, and still this is the case nearly a quarter of a century later.
Not sure what's happened to Carlton
They were a genuine premiership chance a few weeks back
Their season looks wasted

Should win the last 3. Is 60 points enough for 4th spot... Maybe not.
But they might have to do it like they did in 2023. Still a dangerous side
We've arguably had our best possible prep for this game; no travel, full week between games.
Time to lay it all out there, absolutely spend all our tickets and put ourselves in the best position possible.
Don't think, DO.

Have a feeling the Hawks will be to fast for us today.
Hawks by 16pts with Ginnivan to destroy us as usual.

... and into the 8
A real blockbuster today, came about by seasons ladder positions and what’s on the line.
Not a manufactured blockbuster that most of them are.
80k plus today as expected proves you don’t need Collingwood Essendon etc to have a blockbuster.
Good teams, playing for something are real blockbusters. The rest are just fluff.

Not confident today, think the baggers might get us somewhere between 20-40 points.
6 goals between Charlie & Harry.
