No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 4

Saints on the charge. Could be a finals against swans instead.

The Swans just goaled which should put an end to that speculation. The Saints are no Collingwood.

 

[dogwatch]

You're missing out on one of this places great pleasures.

If Carlton were to lower him into the grave, it'd be a one last bumpy ride as they'd choke and and drop him to the bottom.

Yes. Yes, you're right. It was a moment of weakness. I'm not sure what came over me.

Pretty funny though, you'd have to admit.

I almost never go to oppo boards but today I made an exception. I had a sneaky peek at the first page of the Carlton autopsy thread. It had a poignant post on it (stop me if you've heard it before):

"When I die I want Carlton to lower me into the grave so I can be let down one last time"

Carlton supporter or not, you just can't help but feel for him. We all know what it's like.

If you don’t want to visit the Carlton board, where there is no doubt some decent people, maybe go and mock this dickhead instead?

Great line on the ABC radio broadcast this afternoon.

First commentator: "A seagull seems to have found its way under the closed roof and can't get out. It's been hanging around all game mostly around the half forward line"

Second commentator: "Must be Jack Higgins"

Its one of my favourite things to do a tour of oppo boards after they lose.

The Tigers one used to be glorious. I havent been there in some time...

Im fully aware that what goes around comes around.

Didn't the late John Elliott (Pigs Aaaaaaarse) call us a Tragic Club?

J Elliott's club bundled out of the finals by J Elliott. There's a beautiful symmetry to it.

hats off to Melbourne, pinched a game from nowhere last week, then trounced a good side away to claim a top 2 spot, what a great round and fortnight for them, gunna be hard to beat now

Cats and the Dees are clearly the two best sides in it.

Dan Hannebery being chaired off by Steele and Josh Kennedy was awesome to see. How fitting to play your final match against your former side.

Respect to Hanners. Sounds like a great bloke. Giving a thumbs up to the Swans cheer squad was pure class and well done for the cheer squad cheering a former player on a great career.

. Top four in his first year as coach; something Bevo hasn't been able to achieve in 7 seasons. And with a side who finished near the bottom of the ladder last year too.

Geelong harder to beat

 

[BEaston]

Clear that the Afl certainly want the blues to make finals with this one sided umpiring!

Blues were smashed with 3 crucial decisions going against them in the last quarter which were rubbish.

They certainly had the rub of the green for the first 3 quarters

 

[Doggy]

Blues were smashed with 3 crucial decisions going against them in the last quarter which were rubbish.

And helped massively with the Cripps decision

You know when an opponents loss is too devastating? Like it's so bad you can't even enjoy the schadenfreude, because you're genuinely concerned for their fans' mental wellbeing?

**** everything about Carlton and their arrogance built on brown paper bag and depression era premierships

* everything about Carlton and their arrogance built on brown paper bag and depression era premierships

Hate Carlton but the salary cap only came in the mid 80’s, and there was a moratorium up until the early ‘90’s.

Only one brown paper bag flag at the most.

Having said that I hope the smartarse who I sat in front of in round 2 and kept on saying ‘bust’ every time Jamarra went near the ball is suffering big time tonight.

Nope.

Happened to us in 89 as I recall.

Wasn’t much sympathy for us then as I recall.

Yep, f*** Carlton. I have no respect for them and their arrogant entitled supporters. Hope they wallow all summer.

Whatever happens with us (and I still don't want this to paper over the cracks) and even if we get eliminated in the first week (likely) the whole comp will always have Kozzie Pickett with 11 seconds to go and what happened today.

 

[Bazzas Lovechild]

Nope.

Agree. Blues supporters’ hubris this year has made this result joyful. For a team that’s been so bad for so long a little bit of humility wouldn’t have gone astray.

There was more than one house sporting a Carlton flag flying high in June

They know we're coming.... to Mad Monday August 24th at Percy's Pub every year since 2013
