Yep - but if Carlton win at least their fans aren't the only people you know...seriously, 3/4's of the state support West Coast and it is getting a tad ridiculous over here atm.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
It could be seen as a horrible match-up that way - two teams whose fanbase we abhor - and I suspect we'd all appreciate a nil-all draw with both clubs eliminated.
I've decided to look at it another way. Basically, I'm in it for misery of whichever team loses, and regardless of the result, I'll enjoy that to the greatest extent possible. In other words, this and the rest of the finals series promise to provide a rich vein schadenfreude!
Although it broke our hearts it did not break our will
I don't like Carlton, but tonight you had to admire them, they were brave.
85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse!
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
What a game!!
(Bar the umpring of course)
Blimey Razor Ray could have raised the bat for 50 frees. They've over umpired this game, they were good last week.
Reckon after halfway through the first you could see the Eagles getting on top, brave effort from the cheats. How can the last go 35?
Kerr was very impressive, just don't see how they're going to beat the Cats.
Late mail Cheat fans blaming the umpires, everytime one of the big four lose it's the umpires!!
They were probably good enough to win -- a little bit reactive from Ratten, I thought. Judd did nothing all night, Ratten didn't move him around at all. If they even extracted another 5% from Juddy they win.
If mjp is reading this thread it would be good to see what you think of Carazzo -- he accumulates but his decision making is rather ordinary. We love these types of players at the Dogs -- do you think he's underrated by the Carlton hierarchy?
Isn't Carazzo Italian for turnover?
Heard on SEN Razor wont be umpiring any more finals and has been terrible this year... you know he is a shocker when media actually start mentioning an umpires name a long with bad umpiring.
Bring back the biff
