Few things annoy me more than losing to Carlton. We seem to have started slow against them in recent times.

I wept when Footscray solidly beat Carlton at Western Oval late '70s with Buckley trudging off spent and the faithful roaring joyously, the perennial underdog followers powerful and triumphant.
Nowadays it is great to confront their precocious coach led revival and I think we'll beat them because we are on the rise.

I left my run late to get a ticket for this match and I refuse to sit at the back of level 3, so looks like I will be watching this on TV

Doh! I purchased my tickets in the first hour they were released. It is getting harder to get away tickets at Marvel against the larger Melbourne clubs.

Normally I am quick off the mark, but got very busy at work and too late.

Follow along on the Game Day thread with all of us interstaters and other similarly optimistic/positive posters in the heat of the moment

I didn't even think about it, now there don't seem to be any tickets available.

Please if anybody knows of any available tickets please let me know.

The only time I do is quarter breaks and even then the thread is horrendous.

I just checked and AFL members reserve is booked out. Yesterday they had some in the last rows of level 3

Edit: there are standing room tickets

I'm thinking my only hope is borrowing a couple of Carlton memberships if I can find some Blues member not going. Afterwards I will need a long shower to scrub myself clean.

Surprised tickets and ticketing arrangements were so difficult this week.
