...time for some sacrilege...I'm barracking for Carlton.
Reasons:
#1 The Lions of the early 2000s...still stings.
#2 Takes some of the shit off the year that was, if both us and last years grand finalists both fail to make it.
#3 Blues getting all the way to the final siren of the 2nd last game of the year and failing by a fingernail would be soooooooooooooooo sweeeeeeet.

So yeah. GO BLUES!

Carlton still scoreless. It’d be funny if it ended that way.

The game is officially over - Hipwood the Leper has taken a contested mark in the forward line and had a goal assist.

Watching Andrews destroy Carlton with intercept marking makes you really appreciate what a massive job Frampton did on him in our GF win last year.

35:0 - it’s like a Brazil v Haiti scoreline.

The last time a team went scoreless in the first quarter of a final was North Melbourne 1974.

Carlton breaking into new territory :lol:

Carlton have been waiting half a century for a Finals effort like that.

Well at least #17 is safe for the time being. Blooze were making up the numbers. The biggest loser tonight is Seven. People will be turning off in droves. Such a pity those two draws cost us.
