Good article by Rohan at least we Carlton supporters have a big game on which the season depends on, if we do get up against the Pies we have the potential to beat the Dons and Tigers that will give us 4 wins in a row something we haven't done for a long long time. Not only that we will be in the top 8 and with the Saints struggling we might scrape into the finals. Can we do it? Can we get 90k+ at the G .... Bring it on I hope the Blues have turned the corner and hope we can play 4 quarters, should be a beauty here is a link to the article http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/ne...play-for/2008/06/09/1212863547617.html?page=2
 
Great article, really gets the excitement levels up.

85,000+ at the MCG will be a phenomenal sight. For so long we have waited for both clubs to be doing well so that we can see the re-birth of the best and fiercest rivalry in the competition. And I can't wait for it.

It will be a fantastic atmosphere and will no doubt be a great experience for our young side. Hopefully they can rise to the occassion, and with winnable games against Richmond and Essendon in the coming weeks, really push for that final spot in the 8.

Go Blues!
 
Yes great article. Cant wait to take on you boys, and as much as it pains me to say it, i enjoy your brand of footy and am looking forward to the contest.

make sure you all get there and make this crowd massive, imagine a 85000-90000 all collingwood/carlton fans. it would be electric.

Good luck

Yep lets get that 100+ year rivalry back into top gear. I think our rivalry with the Pies has been cruising along in 2nd gear for a while now. But now is the time to put on the after burners and take our rivalry to the next level.
 
I still don't understand why Carlton Collingwood don't play each other on one of the public holidays?

It is the biggest game of the year for crowd's bar anzac day (although if we were to play on anzac day i dare say the crowd would be pretty much the same)

Queens Bday next year....Carlton v Collingwood.
 
Yeah I can't wait until Carlton & Collingwood next meet in the finals and the greatest rivalry in the AFL is finally reborn. The biggest rivalry of the modern day - West Coast v Fremantle? Adelaide v Port Adelaide? Pfft. We're back.
 
Massive few weeks ahead. We take on what is considered 3 of the big 4 in consecutive weeks(the 4th being us of course);), Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond. The Carlton-Collingwood rivalry is still big even though I've grown up to hate Essendon more than any other club. If we can win 2 out of that 3, we're still well placed (we should take the bickies against the Bums and Tigers), but it will be a huge scalp to beat the infrom Pies and really should confirm us as a real finals chance. Collingwood have top 4 aspirations (and don't be surprised to see them choke in the finals and the Colliwobbles tag will be back):D, while we have a top 8 spot not out of the question.

Because we don't need to.

The game doesn't need to be played on a public holiday in order to draw huge crowds.

We'll pull huge crowds no matter when we play them.

This week will determine whether we can realistically compete for a finals spot.
 
Weather withstanding, there is no reason we will not get 80k+ at this game.
This is going to be a huge game with a top 8 spot at stake for us.
The only downside is that Mickey thinks his team is being ambushed but all and sundry and poor didems are getting tired both mentally and physically....oh well will just have to make sure we nail them for the 2nd time this year and sent Mickey into a frenzy.:D
 
Wow how long has it been since we can go into a game after the halfway mark of the season and have a chance at having a 50/50 win loss ratio.

All we need to do is make up some percentage and that'll be awesome.

A tight win against the pies 6-6-0 95%
then the dons 7-6-0 100%
then the tiges 8-6-0 105%


GO BLUES

I hope we do win but this game is exactly like last season against the Hawks ... We came off a good win Dawks had Franklin out injured and yet they smashed us allover the park. I have a feeling that we are in for a massive let down after the great win on Sunday.

Thats my great fear.

I was so looking forward to that hawks game.....massive crowd we were looking good leading into and we lost BIG time.

I hope this time is different.
 
Why just 85K ... Why not 98+++++++ far out we are the Blues we do have a record membership and the Pies have a big fan base as well so why not go the whole hog man.
 
Ive always loved Carlton V Collingwood games the fierce rivalry , and the footy on that day is superb especially when we come away with a win. Great article really pumping this clash right up ! hope the footy gods will be with us this sunday.
 
just thought that ive been floating around on the different boards, and most of the collingwood fans are predicting that we are going to smash them, because we have the finals in sights!
i find it very interesting. lol

and btw, we started at $4.50 at the TAB, and today i just checked it and we are $2.95
so we have come down a far bit!

GO BLUES!!
