Toast Round 23 = Carlton 74-75 Collingwood

Trading Grundy for Cameron? Huh?

Metaphorically trading. Swapping. If you like.

 

[unplugged]

I still can't believe we pulled that off.

It's great watching the last quarter again and appreciating Luke Hodges ineptitude as a commentator and his absolute blinkers in outlining what Carlton can do to hold on.

How about thinking what we can do to win the game you biased twat!!

How this campaigner gets paid to speak is beyond me. Can barely string 2 words together, the biased campaigner.

 

[J Albert]

How good was Quaynor in that last quarter!

Icing on the cake would be if McKay asked for a trade to us next year

I'd also take Curnow if McKay wasn't interested. Carlton have 3 decent KPPs. I'd have thought they at least had the bare essentials required to make the 8.

I thought that Mason was huge today.

He ignited us

After the 1979 GF loss to Carlton, Harris as their President said - “What’s better than beating Collingwood by ten goals? Beating them by five points . . . in a Grand Final”

We got better than that. “What’s better than winning a GF by 4 points? Winning by 104 points!!”

Winners can smile, losers can please themselves.

 

[Big Bryza]

Nah, it may have played a minor role. But they were smashing us in all facets. Tbh, all the stats say we shouldn’t have won. Luckily, you cant measure belief, dare, and efficiency.

Stats are for Statisticians.

As you said, you can't measure belief, dare and efficiency.

Yeah but then we get the x, y, z players that Grundy will get us to come in as well so you're effectively downgrading at ruck but gaining talent/depth and removing the worst contract the club has ever signed. Full story please.

Funny story. I work in a prison. The prisoners were all locked up b4 the last quarter and the place was silent apart from all the TV's in the cells watching the footy in the 130 prisoner unit I work in. I wear my heart on my sleeve and all the prisoners know who I barrack for. As I walked around to check that all was well the silence was broken by the abuse I copped from the 20 odd prisoners who barrack for Carlton. Imagine the most colourful language and insults possible. When the result became final I made a point of using the intercom system to call each and every one of the Carlton prisoners and ask if they needed a welfare check or psych services . I love this club

I hope you congratulated the other 110 that most likely support our great club

Not usually a big fan of Whateley’s prose, but this is pretty damn cool:View attachment 1486445

We played a team that managed 2 goals in three quarters of football. They are not flash.

 

[Big Bryza]

Yeah, though Eddie was no better when he commentated.

I don't give a fcuk about what Eddie did 20 years ago.

These guys had Carlton's little fella in their gobs all day.

 

[Mick F]

We are short a tall defender, half a midfield and half a forward line. Four of our best players are on their last legs.

Any finals in 2023-24 will be a bonus.

I'm not really one for Schadenfreude
























Except for when its Carlton and Essendon.

is regretting his decision to sign on at the Blues? The poor fella wins the Coleman Medal in his first year back from injury, and all he gets from Carlton fans online is "that ****ing useless Curnow campaigner cost us ****ing finals! Zero heart, he's a pathetic ****ing campaigner!!"

They're a special bunch, that's for sure

 

[Magnanimous]

Cripps was BOG in a Game he should not Played In

Would kill to have him in our line up.

Zero heart, he's a pathetic ******* campaigner!!"

Their board is littered with variations of "Charlie Curnow lost us the game."

 

[Big Bryza]

I literally have no words to sum up today's performance or this season as a whole. It's just ridiculous what this team does on a weekly basis.

One point i will make is that Bruzzy Maynard just locked in his AA guernsey without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[deano_66]

How do we keep doing this but to do it to Carlton in those circumstances is absolutely unreal. You look at stats over the 6 weeks or so and we should be getting annihilated but somehow we keep winning these games.
-Maynard and Moore were huge today best 2 by absolute far.

• Howe I dont know what has happened to him the last 3 weeks but he just keeps making stupid errors
• Quaynor huge in the last he was getting towelled up in the first 3 quarters and has been off ever since he got back after covid but hopefully cna build off that last quarter
• midfield got smashed again hopefully with Adams back in that gap will be bridged soon with him and De Goey both in there.
• Cox huge in the last but him and Cameron were both poor for the 1st 3 quarters. Cameron did look injured though. Cox so often just doesn't get to contests when we are kicking it to him. He reads the opponents kicks well but when we have it in our hands he is always 90 metres away when they player can only kick 60.
• Ginnivan is just class

I said swapping Grundy for Cameron was a downgrade. Which it is. And I said, hope they don't let De Goey go since he's so important for clearances.

Full story please.
