    None of the top 8 are playing each other but a few wannabe finalists are fighting for a spot, so will still be an interesting round.
    If Carlton loses what happens to Voss?

      Well Carlton are dysfunctional and impossible to watch, even for schadenfreude.
      We get Carlton news regardless, their demise more newsworthy than our success, because of member numbers.
      When our membership levels reach there's, we'll have to deal with media love.

        I feel sorry for Voss, a great player and good man, discovering the end of his career and coping with his incompetence as a coach.
        The disaster he had to have, the karma that he and Carlton were due.
        I also felt sorry for Essendon supporters about a decade ago when I was employed by the club via a call centre to sell members raffle tickets. Members bled money for the struggling club.
        When I confided I was a bulldog employed by Essendon members felt robbed but I assured them that not all club employees follow the team yet are professional with the club paying their mortgage.
        Footy can cause suffering, so I empathise, the club is one thing, supporters another. These members were suffering despite their past glories and voting with their hard earned.
        People create systems and administration that makes them fools, too human and imperfect to their Frankenstein.

          Carlton without a goal with a few minutes left in the 2nd quarter

            Takes an ex-Bulldog to show them how it's done.

              It’s entertaining seeing Carlton self destruct so often the last 20 years

                Bit of argy bargy to finish the half. Pathetic half by Carlton. Port have pantsed them so far. Good to see.

                  Pretending to fly the flag because Korn called them out on it last week, after Xerri dumped TDK. You could tell they didn't really care.

                      In 2000, John Elliot taunted the Bulldogs with his infamous “tragic history” line.

                      Well in the 25 years since. The Blues have zero GF appearances, are in a 30 year Premiership drought and have collected 5 wooden spoons.

                      Karma.

                        Thanks for the reminder. Elliott was an absolute flog and was lucky not to end up in the big house. I will never forget the disrespect he showed to Chris Grant that night: "Only Carlton people get to call me Jack." What a tosser. And the Libs were talking about him as a future leader and PM!

                            Port were terrible too , can’t believe that another side could be 50 points worse .
                            Something has to crack .

                              I wonder if Melbourne can do us a favor and roll the Suns?
