how could I have forgotten? it was The Great Northern in Carlton
I ride past that one on the way to work, they have had "home of the freo dockers 20XX" and the logo in their window for at least the past couple years

The most golden of golden children?
Pretty sure if they are down at halftime the AFL will bring in a rule that Serong Pearce Treacy and Amiss have to play for the Swans in the second half, and every Swans goal will be worth 20 points. Then they will take the goal posts out of the end we are kicking to.
Unlikely as it is, we want to play Port of the current top 8 sides. The AFL may not even remember to send any umpires to the game and Darcy can can go Godzilla mode.

no final i'd want less.
rate us to match them, but you can't tell me AFL House wouldn't use every tactic in their bag of dirty tricks to hand the Blues a flag in front of 80K of their fans and 20K of ours at the MCG.
there's nothing that would give them a bigger hard on than seeing one of the old VFL stalwarts beating an interstate upstart.
money in the bank for them AND a 'know your place' slap.
unless we got 40 points up somehow, so their sh*tf*ckery wouldn't look so obvious. there's no way we'd beat the Blues in a close GF. they wouldn't allow it.

Western Bulldogs fairytale was enough to override the Sydney cockgobbling.
TRIGGER WARNING
If we play Carlton in a GF, the way the umpies have diddled us in the past against them - manufactured free in dying seconds, giving the ball to the wrong bloke miles away from where it should have been paid/ignored touched ball leading to incorrect mark and goal, double down on that with the only dissent free paid all year giving them a shot at goal from the square in the dying seconds of the game - will look like masterpieces of magisterial fairness and rectitude.
They will **** us with Patrick Cripp's dick.

There's plenty to whinge about with the AFL, although I imagine most of it stems from commercial considerations and inherent bias that comes from decision making being predominantly in Melbourne.
I think the umpiring carry-on is a bit over the top though, how did the dissonance work when Darcy got that free for Collingwood's time wasting?

I felt that was the even up call from The Amiss call that handed them a goal and gave them some momentum in the 1st.

That's an impressive little notebook to keep track of that.
One of the key tenets for umpires is to move on past previous decisions, and just call what they see.
Occasionally you do see a soft call shortly after a bad one the other way, but it's almost always immediate.
I just think some people have this victim mentality, every team whinges about the umpires and the conspiracy calls get a bit tiresome.

After 30 years of not succeeding the old fashioned way I think the time is right for the supporters to manifest a premiership into reality. We just all need to truly believe and it will become real.

Never said it was a conspiracy...I just remembered media and many pies supporters losing their minds over the Darcy free kick while completely ignoring other favourable calls that went their way.
The only game this year I felt we were 100% robbed in was the Carlton game.

Yeah that was general, not specifically aimed at you.
I felt pretty hard done by in the Carlton game, especially because it was exacerbated by some of the previous occurrences.
I just don't believe it was the umpires out to get Freo, poor decision yes, but some AFL conspiracy nah.

Which he actually takes from 10m out directly in front because that’s how it works with Carlton

Is that the Great Northern in Carlton ?
Shouldn't the title be "We will beat Carlton in the GF"

Carlton is literally the last team I’d want to play in a grand final, every other team is preferable to them.

A derby grand final would also be pretty average
