LOL Carlton

[Twodogs]

I know some blue’s supporters who are good folks.

Maggie Thatcher would have said to name three?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Losing by a point after hitting the front in the 3rd?

I cannot stop chuckling.

How's that "Tragic History" quote going now??

That line is immediately what came to my mind. It can't be healthy for me to recall that first of all, rather than revel in my team making the 8!.

[Twodogs]

Well earned 'schadenfreude' for us Footscray mob.
Haha in the final round, a gift for our Fate from Menzies' club and his Rolls Royce view to the footy.

My dear old grandfather who was an avowed socialist had a stroke and found himself in the same hospital as Pig Iron Bob. People sent Menzies flowers and chocolates to the hospital but due to his illness he wasn't allowed to have any so they were shared around the rest of the patients. My grandfather went to his grave as Menzies' newly installed #1 fan!

I said the same thing to my partner. It’s really is a cruel game. I know some blue’s supporters who are good folks.

I refuse to believe this.

The first time a team has been in the 8 all season to miss in the last round, sorry the last two minutes. Those LOLs keep coming

[Sedat]

They’d account for .05% of the fan base though.

Amazing coincidence, almost the exact same % that they missed out on playing finals

[Sedat]

Cripps today probably played the best individual game of any player this year. He had 27 CP's and 12 clearances, but screw him - he should not have played the last 2 weeks and they would have been wiped both weeks without him.

We stopped Carlton getting to the finals in 1944 by a point. I just thought I would share that.

[Happy Days]

Also shout out to Walsh and Hewett for deciding they were too soft to play with the season on the line. They'd want to be really injured.

Some quick and dirty math just subtracting from our total yearly score by a goal at a time :

1973 1812 = 108.88
1967 1812 = 108.55
1961 1812 = 108.22
....
....
1963 1812 = 108.33 ~ What Blues finished with.

Works out about 9-10-11 points got us through.

So today if we scored 76 instead of 87 we don't get there.

It was tight !

[Prince Imperial]

I am deeply sympathetic to the club of Sir Robert Gordon Menzies, Richard Pratt, John Elliott and Bruce Matheson. That's just heart breaking. So so sorry.

And Josh Frydenberg, Malcolm Fraser, Bob Santamaria etc.

Pretty sure that was a head-to-head game and we kicked a point after the siren to win.

Folklore has it that the MARK was taken after the siren and the shot on goal should never have been allowed!

Anyway, it was Carlton so my care-factor about right and wrong is Z-E-R-O as long as they come out on the wrong end of it.

They are such a hateable club, cheating their way to multiple premierships.

I like that he had the ball with it all to be win and tried to barge through the tackles and got pinged.

Yeah, I'd at least want my leg to be amputated that day to not play. If it were the day before the prosthetic leg would be attached and I'd be good to go.

Sore back? Pffff!!
