Banter Carlton is better in 2024. Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

Forgot to say: Late change.... Owies IN.

Owies is your barometer... Can't have the Blues barometer sitting in the stands!

Christian made sure that wasn't possible

Must admit I hadn't heard. Did he get suspended for being a massive flog?

He got suspended for winning a free kick. Typical AFL

In all probability, this is how I see it most likely playing out:

Brisbane win by 1 point when a last second Cripps goal is score reviewed after the final siren and declared a behind. Cripps has kicked it from 50m tight on the boundary line and it goes through the middle. Amazing kick. The ecstacy Carlton fans feel is unreal!

But the review shows Owies going for a specky and getting a huge ride on McKay's shoulders. He gets 5m up in the air and gets a fingertip to the ball just before it crosses the goal line.

But goal umpire didn't notice and signalled a goal. Field umpire quietly requests a review instead. Carlton were celebrating their win for a full minute before it was over ruled. Blues club song is ripped off the record player half way through (making the noise) and the Brisbane song starts up. So Cruel.

Later, Voss loses it and is caught on camera headbutting Owies in the race.

Yet somehow a majority of Carlton supporters are philosophical and not really surprised or angered by this turn of events. It's like they've become immune to extreme disappointment.
Most Carlton supporters immediately start talking about "next year" while others go home and put on a VHS of the 1981 grand final.

Pie supporters started talking about next year two weeks ago, only the top 8 clubs get to play this week.

A bit boring when your team misses the finals, Carlton supporters know and now the Pie supporters all watching on as the best eight teams play this weekend.

Yep there's a few of them that will need medication when we win a flag.

Elliott or Hill might win mark of the year, but it comes with a big fat asterisk. Heeneys was easily the best of the lot

Heeney is a show pony, Bobby would have landed on his feet, and played on

Not like this.

True, but still better than the Pies

Carlton making a serious mockery of the AFL’s fixture. Gifted a bottom four fixture resulting in the 11th or 12 best side in the league make the top 8.

What was that smashing pumpkins song... was it 1974 something like that

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

 

[Ctracks]

Take me home country road

Never loved that song so much
