Re: AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney
Reply #281 –
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.
We lost that game because of the pathetic turf that kept lifting.
