I reckon Guelfi will take Saad.
He can get lost overhead a bit, and Guelfi is courageous in the air.
Fark Carlton
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can compare to walking out of the MCG on Preliminary Final day of 1999 to the taunting and heckling of fark Carlton supporters.
Fark Carlton. Forever.
Fuckkkkk it’s cold. They better win.
You picked a fine time to visit Melbourne
In a surprise development, l got a late call from a fellow Blitzer with a spare ticket. We will be there cheering the team on. Go Bombers!
The one saving grace of being too young for 2000 was not having to remember what I was doing on the day of the 1999 prelim.
I remember being abused by a Carlton supporter in her eighties leaving the 2011 Elimination Final loss. I was genuinely lost for words. I couldn’t believe the tirade coming from this old woman’s mouth.
Whoever kicked it must have been a star.
Can’t stand this mob… their supporters are absolutely chomping at the bit for this too. Really hoping we crack in tonight and push these ■■■■■.
Whereas l hope we don’t push them, but bury them instead.
Ah yes, the day we kicked the first few goals and then it completely fell apart
Oh man, I’ve been spoiled living in Singapore
I’m so scared
I wanted to put this here, but didn’t see the game day thread until now, so:
Looking at Carlton’s form running into today’s game: They have won 3 of their last 6. Lost to Cats and Pies. Won against Demons by a point. A heavy loss to Sydney. And then won their last 2 games well. Against Gold Coast at Marvel, and Port in Adelaide last week. Last week’s win against Port is probably their most impressive win in the last 6. It was a tight game until a last quarter blowout. Meanwhile, Essendon’s form has been down in the last few weeks, though we have had a draw, 4 wins an…
Whilst 1999 was obviously awful. The fact they beat us twice in 2001 hurts too, clearly had a mindfcuk over us, the early one in 2001 when they had late withdrawals of all their stars and still won, plus they beat us again later in the yar had them suckling their own juices for ages. Then in 2003, you had the famous Houlihan chainsaw goal where they sunk us in Round 3 in the rain. In 2005, I remember on Blitz posting as a teen, raging about FATBOY Whitnall winning them the game and Hennenmen single handily killing us in the ruck in the last quarter. The hatred for them growing up was installed early.
On the other hand, the Lonergan tackle game where they sooked all week about us being a little mean, Zaka kicking winning goals against them and the game where Pears went nuts were all faves.
All I can say is Fark Carlton, my they lose always.

Should be little rain if any by 7pm
Forecast model showing clearer afternoon and rain/showers starting again from 6pm-Midnight
Essendon will win and all the opposing supporters and media can shut their clams and live in the fear of the rise of the Bombers… faaaark the Carlton Scum💪🏼
