Only got themselves to blame , should have beaten the Dees , should have been 6 goals up at 3/4 time today then fluff 3-4 last quarter chances .

It'll make or break them

Great game to watch as a neutral

Such a strange game by Carlton. They dominated the whole game.

No composure early - turned it on in the middle - lost all composure entirely at the end.

Cripps had a blinder but ultimately tried to do too much. He almost won them the game but he is also the reason they lost.

The pass into the pocket that hit Howe on the chest was worse than Cripps trying to bust a pack open. The Carlton player had no pressure on him and time to consider his options. He chose the worst one of all.

Yeah just about any other alternative would have been better than that kick.

They have an elite top end. But the worst depth in the league. Their bottom 6-8 is woeful.

Those special Carlton beers they made to celebrate Carlton making the finals ..... half price now?

Did that really happen? That's great!

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Carlton is a cigarette brand. They have a line called the "Ultra", which comes in the colour blue. I just smoked some, and they smelt like 10 years of dry human feces with no success. I wouldn't recommend the pack to anyone looking for a new career opportunity.

If there are any therapists on this board I think you might be needed over on the Carlton autopsy board.

I'm serious I've never seen so many sad people.

It's been a good week for schadenfreude

To be honest - I have overdosed on it - If the Cats go out in straight sets I might not recover

 

[Jables]

My Blues mum kept going all week about how we had to smash the Dogs (ignoring that they could just beat the Pies by more than a point or two).

Sums it up really.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Collingwood are average but I hope their form holds for one more week and they force the Cats into a semi final. I also hope the Dogs get flogged by Fremantle.

They only need a draw to secure the 8th spot, yet they lose by 1 point after leading for majority of the game. Just hoping no one goes crazy and do silly things.

Need Swans to hold on here or Cats get Freo on their postage stamp

Someone send a polygraph down to marvel stadium

Ah thats why Huddo is desperate for the Saints to get up on the coverage

 

[Xtreme]

That's the kind of thing that can break a club

Voss about to call Fevola and get him in!!

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Carlton lol. But also how are pies top 4 with a percentage of 104? A genuinely average team.

Yes the Pies have won a lot of close ones, but many of their 6 losses for the year were also close

And they trouble the Cats and means no final at KP for the cats so here’s hoping
And they aren’t scared of the Dees

They are a chance as much as any of the top 4

Good post. Collingwood are not as talented as other sides in the 8 and don't look as good on paper. But they're not "average" like some are suggesting. They win. They finish games extremely strongly and they win close games. It's not through luck because it keeps happening. When you watch their fourth quarters, they play with enormous belief and composure when other sides get tight. If anything that holds them in good stead for finals. They are a decent chance against Geelong at the MCG.

 

[cryptor]

If we hadn't fought back against Carlton after quarter time in our round 3 game they'd have enough percentage to have made the 8.

We probably only needed an extra goal or two against the Doggies today given they lost by a point in the end also.
So many possible way for them to make it the last few weeks, yet none of them came through.
