Scores are level right now - who do you want to win? I think I'll say the Blues as I reckon they'd be satisfied and get ahead of themselves. Brisbane on the other hand have some hard, finals hardened players like Brown etc who could still put in a cracker next week.

Blues have beaten us a bit over recent years. Regardless of that I'd rather play an interstate side.

Prefer to play Lions. Blues have the wood on us recently. Judd may be reported for eye gouging. Likely to get off the golden boy though

I was thinking the same. Rischitelli will probably get weeks for eyeing Judd's fingers.

We played Carlton earlier this year after coming back from a tough game in tough conditions in Perth

We will be able to beat them if we play them next week

Lions for me - Aker will lift against his old side. The Blues have had the wood over us for three years now, regardless of whether we came back from interstate or not.

Are you also excited about the possibility of making a GF?

Not really worried to be honest.

I think we are good enough to beat both of them, and i don't expect some of our players to play, 2 bad weeks in a row, during the finals.

Sounds like things are getting exciting in Brissy Town. And I so hope it is Carlton (Ian Collins, Jack Elliot et al) that are feeling sick tonight.

Looks like the Lions are going to have a few players hurting as well. Black & Clark looked proppy, especially Black.

I don't for one minute think it's going to be an easy game for us though, the Lions will gain alot of confidence in their comeback tonight. They looked gone with about 15 minutes to go.

How quickly can a game change?

Just shows what we could have done today if we took our chances in that last quarter.

Much happier playing Brisbane. They are walking wounded.

Yes it's somewhat cheered me up seeing the Cheats lose it from an almost impregnable position tonight. 29 points up at one stage in the last quarter.

I just need to take a pause from WOOF for a moment while I open a second window so I can watch the Carlton Big Footy board implode. I know one shouldn't take joy in another persons sorrows, but....it is Caaaarlton :)

Maybe he can remove it from his forehead

The Lions looked like they had some sore bodies to key personal ie Black + Clark

I'm comfortable that we could have taken Carlton, and it will be watching Aker tearing apart Brisbane

So now that we play Brisbane why can't this game be played at Etihad. It will probably only get 50k which would be near full house at Etihad.

Stopped watching after the 1st last night and flicked over just in time to see Brisbane take the lead. Glad to be playing them next week, although I really don't think it would have mattered too much - the boys will be fired up and beat whoever is on our plate.

I recorded the game and watched it in about 2hr delay.

I fell asleep with Carlton 29pts up in the last quarter and woke up as the gave Daniel Rich the rising star.

I assumed Carlton would have won easy, deleted the game and went to bed.

Brisbane will take a lot of confidence into this game, as it was a great win. I hope our boys have the mental strength to respond.

I reckon we need as much practice playing at the G as we can get!

I would have been confident against either team, although I definitely preferred that Brisbane win. This means we'll have a big advantage crowd and stadium wise- can you imagine the crowd for Carlton on Friday if they'd won?

Cause docklands is a terrible place to watch and play footy. Give me a game at the MCG anyday of the week over the docklands.

It would have been 85,000+ for Dogs Vs. Blues with 50,000 of them supporting the cheats. I would have loved it. It was the same when we played the Pies in 05 and smashed them in front of 86,000 (of which about 35,000 were Dogs).

You'll be surprised how much support the Lions draw on Friday night. They'll get a few through the gates. Probably should get over 60,000 for Friday night.

I definitely agree about preferring to play the Lions from a match-up & form sense. I don't think they play the G' that well also, or at least their recent record isn't great. Could we wrong though.

We played Sydney in the corresponding game last year who have good support in Melbourne yet there was only a crowd of just over 42,00 there.

I can't see this one drawing many more.

This in itself + their up-and-down performances (especially that ridiculous game in Adelaide where they didn't kick a goal for nearly 3 quarters) this year have been highly suspicious, especially 180 degree changes in performance levels after quarter-time or half-time breaks when the betting odds are adjusted.

If it was any other team I would put it down to inconsistency, but it has just happened too often these past couple of years, and we all know Carlton far too well, not to smell at least the hint of a rat in the system.

I thought of something left field Voss do.

I assume Lake will play on Brown and Morris on Bradshaw. What if Voss played Brown almost like a decoy further up the field than usual? Gets lake further out of the back half where he has so successfully read the play and leaves their forwardline open for Bradshaw against an out of form Morris.

Would Eade then play Welsh as the extra man?

why we didn't do the same. Should do nothing but goal kicking practice ;)

Why would you use your best player, arguably the most inspirational player in the competition as a decoy?

He demands the football. You don't waste that sort of ability playing silly buggers.
