Rd 22: Post Game quiet and frustrated discussion: Carlton vs Melbourne - crashlander - 08-20-2016
Another game I won't see this year. I cannot remember missing so many games in a season since 1971.
Hope the result is what we want, but at this point it is almost an advantage to lose: better draft picks. I thought we had past that stage, but I guess our list still needs a few more years work.

Good stuff Blues.
Stuffed up some commentaters opinions.
Stuffed up some serial whingers on here too.
Now for the Cheats next week.

If we win next week we end up with 8 wins. Interesting, 0-4, 6-1, 0-9 then finish 2-0 (?). Interesting way to get 8 (?) wins. Should've won 9.

A very good win on the back of a much improved team effort, I would have taken the $3.75 but I thought we were a $5+ chance.
Melbourne had plenty of chances to make it close but couldn't buy a goal in the second half, those are the breaks and we'll take it.
Beat the junkies next week and it's 8 wins, probably better than any of us thought in March.

Good win set up early. Difficult conditions but the defence held its shape well led by the evergreen Simpson and Doc. The mids also did their job with Gibbs and Cripps having great games. The two rucks worked over Gawn and did some ok stuff around the ground. Buckley's 3 goals were telling. A win next week would be nice.

The story of my life on the punt Laj although I backed the cup winner at 100 to 1.
I thought Cunningham showed a bit, some very nice skills here and there which were very pleasing to see.
If he comes up we'll have jagged four good youngsters in one season in him, Weitering, Silvagni and Curnow, if McKay makes it it would be 5.
Geelong did it in one year and it ended with three flags, do we dare to dream?

100/1, nice work. Mine's still running.
Yes, I agree with all of that. Another decent trade/draft, eventually superseding some of our current players
