Happy Game Day

About to start me aventure of heading to the gabba!!

Having a quick breakfast before heading to the airport.

Not many Carlton supporters at Newcastle airport, except one old guy wearing a Carlton hat, oh wait, that’s me.

Anyone else going to the pre match function at the Morrison Hotel?

Yes.
Go Blues!

I’m just pausing for a sec to consider that we are a top 3 team even if we lose.
If offered this at the beginning of the season, I would have taken it.
If offered this at the bye, I would have grabbed on for dear life!!
Now, of course, I want more.

But just worth taking a moment to appreciate how well we have done to earn this!!

Getting an 'unanswered' goal run is important.

Carlton haven't had a four goal run and lost since Footscray Rd.9
We've had 16 in the 12 games since and only failed to in the GWS game.

We get a four goal run - we win.
We keep Lions to less than 50 inside 50s - we win.
Crippa kicks a goal - we win.
We lead by 18 points at 1/2 time, finals history shows - we win*.
(*only 3 exceptions)

Beat the bears and we can sure beat the meth pidgeons.

It all starts in the middle . We need to dominate the contested ball and get it into the F50 quickly and deep.

We have 4 tickets to ikon tonight that we now can't use due to our family situation.

looking for a reasonable offer for all 4 tickets. our cost was $100

Really want ikon full so let me know if you want them and make an offer. i can send you my purchase receipt with my name and details etc.
happy for money to be transferred via bank transfer or paypal

go blues

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

need to survive that 1 quarter burst were the opposition kick 4 goals straight ,hopefully lions in accuracy will keep us in the game and then we have our period to score and we kick straight . What i dont want to see is a repeat of the ADL 1st Q game will over at 1/4 time.

Yeah, good one eh?

For anyone who missed it, it was in the "2023 Finals Campaign" thread.

Thank you "Chopper"

As usual I'd expect accuracy will play a major part. Take your chances boys.
My only other concern is that if we get behind, players will start trying to do it all themselves. It's trusting the 22 that has got us this far. We don't need any heroes. That what cost GWS in the end. Just do your job and give it to the player in the best position.

Maybe it's confirmation bias,maybe it's because locals don't go to South Bank, but I have seen a couple hundred people walking round in the good colors and not one lions jersey. Plenty of Wahs getting round ready for tonight as well

They opens the doors and it’s open slather at the pre match event, not “private” anymore. The pubs packed inside.

Sorry but I just feel so pessimistic.
There is always one prelim that is a blowout and I think Brisbane will blitz us.
I take consolation that it's better to lose to Brisbane than Collingwood.
We have done brilliantly but this feels a bridge too far.

For those heading to The Morrison in Brisbane; it is packed! Takes about 20-30 minutes to get a drink.
Go Blues!
