Confession - we left a little early - missed our last two goals - had a grumpy wife & son and an early start for a Saturday.
I understand everyone has their own reason/justification for leaving early and not wanting to judge anyone but I was very disappointed with the number of Carlton supporters that left early on Fri.
Sometimes miracles do happen and don't forget Jezza (the real one) once kicked 6 goals in 10 minutes.
Plus I wanted to be there to cheer our team off.
Go Blues in 2027 and beyond.

On top of perfectly valid reasons to leave, rain, cold, working on Saturday, getting a seat on the train, too late past bedtime, there are a lot of late season bandwagon supporters who have jumped on board. They wouldn't stick fat, and some were probably only there because the rain came after the start.

Years ago we'd leave the GF after 3/4-time to get the best spot at the bar, we'd usually have it all under control in the 3rd! ;D

I started hearing from people wanting to go to the games this year around Rnd 18, people I hadn't heard from for years!

Fans, barrackers and supporters.

Mate I was sitting there in the rain in row G on level 1 for 75% of the game, and when we fell 50 points behind, that was my signal to go because me and the Mrs were getting wet, and whilst we all support the club, every single club has fans that leave early once the game is gone.

While investigations continue there is no way any club should consider chasing the Swans players involved in the alleged incident.

And with no set time frame on those investigations the players will remain in limbo in terms of movement.
It may stretch well past the trade period.

It could be upto a year as was the case with the Geelong player who was only cleared in a similar case early this year I think.

Again, there are lots of good reasons for people to leave (weather being one) and I don't want to sound too critical (but I am I know). I was top level, under cover and lots were leaving from that section.
Just thought, being the last game as well as the great season finish, that the team deserved to be cheered off. More than anything, I was disappointed.

Another couple of good reasons are trying to avoid the public transport crush and trying to avoid being out in public any later than necessary in crime-riddled Melbourne.
