H was very good and very important for us, the misses were ridiculous BUT he did a lot right!
We got zero 50/50’s from the umps and they got every single one. They play close to the rules but never get pinged for it.
The way we played was much better watching on tv than live! I thought we more Capitulated and got too nervous but on tv you can see clearly how Syd just would not stop and got harder at it as time went on. We were outstanding to withhold them 👏🏽
Bloody unreal! The atmosphere at the end was crazy good and the walk out of the stadium had many many groups of Baggers singing the song together 🙌
That game nearly made me pass out! Why do we make such hard work of it?! Had H put that gimme in front of goals Away, I feel like we would’ve annihilated them. Instead they get a run on 🤦🏻♀️
Unbelievable Martin down back, thank you sir In those last few minutes!! Newman a mark on their f50 😅 Crippas goal, Cerras goal, Cotters at one stage seemingly the only one holding his nerve and keeping his brain!
Swans were always going to come back and see us defend it to the death, unbelievable. Did Charlie get one free kick from being constantly held? Don’t think so.
We are ON next week - we have nothing to lose, shackles will be off, I feel good about it, Go Blues 💪🏼
That's the impression I get from the TV. Crowd seems quiet, and the game doesn't have the atmosphere you'd expect from an EF. Almost feels like a Friday night game.
Tbh I haven’t been this cold at a game for a very long time - I think everyone is rugged up under blankets jackets and beanies 🥶
So Facebook has a feature where your memories come up on your feed. On this day:
Carlton who finished 9th on the ladder, but got into the 8 thanks to the Drug Cheats, defeated Richmond at the MCG in 2013 in the first elimination final during that series. We went on to play (and lose in Sydney against the Swans in week 2).
There would be an ironic symmetry if somehow Sydney (who should have finished 9th if not for an umpiring mishap in Adelaide!) were able to knock off Carlton, only to have to return next week to the MCG and face Melbourne...
Now, that being said, I don't want it to happen, but this spooky.
Yea that came up for me today too! However my take on it is how beautiful it would be to replicate that win tonight 👏🏽 let’s go blues!!!
Got my ticket Mickey 0.....Punt Road end, 2nd tier in the pocket. Ticket prices for games over there are so good.....just the airfare was the killer...you'd think I was sitting up the pointy end with the prices! But worth every cent to be there....my last live winning Blues final was a certain day in 1995!
Can I ask what your tickets were? Mine was $200 for 4 - two adults one concession one child. And we’re top of the stand!
With the online ticketing agents being shambolic with big events, I have been told and read online that rejecting is fraught with danger, I would have taken seats in the toilet if that was they offered.
This is basically what I did! We’re up the top Q55! Took me 35 mins to get through and I had my phone going and my work computer and phone got through first! I was too afraid to reject them!!
Everyone manage to get their tickets? I did, took 40 mins online to get through through and then the ticketing threw me so also we have level 2 membership, we are up on top level. Just happy to be there tho, cannot wait!
