I want to demolish this mob. I cannot stand their arrogance, they have no respect for their coach, they are the prime tankers and salary cap cheaters. Get smithy on betts and shawy on garlett and you stop their non existent forward line without betts and garlett.

LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

Lets hope the team has the same passion/disdain for the game on Saturday. Should be a fairly easy win, but Carlton have been very inconsistent so not writing them off yet. -
If you take Murphy, Gibbs & Simpson out of the game it is game over. Garlett & Betts have to get the ball delivered to them by the others. I think our mids can flog theirs and give us first use. Cruiser is only good against smaller ruckmen, he has proved this time and again and is better when resting then in the ruck where he kicks a few goals on smaller opponents. He took LRT to the cleaners but LRT is a smaller opponent and not a ruckman. I don't think he can do the same to Pykie or Mummy if he plays.Comment

Have to watch your kids around the Carlton fans after what happened last weekend. Disgusting.Comment

Carlton supporter grabbed a teenager supporting the Tigers by the throat. He was sitting behind him I think.
He was not found or arrested either and incident not picked up by CCTV. Hopefully he will be caught and banned for life.
I heard on SEN streaming today. Apparently another Carlton supporter "attacked" a women a few weeks back. He was caught by security.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

Our midfield should demolish these softies in close, we need to dominate the clearasil, I mean clearances and keep clean posessionYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

I totally agree with most sentiments here. I have a complete and palpable disdain for the entire Carlton Football & Cheating Club. No amount of suffering is enough..GO SWANS!Comment

Good to see alot of other RWO'S sharing the hate for the scum that is carlton. Their midfield is a bunch of softcocks. Gibbs = soft as butter.LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

I can't see us losing to these losers. Without Judd they'll be easy kills for us. Hopefully we absolutely demolish them rather than a standard win. I want to see them suffer.Comment

They are far and away my most hated team and I hope that whilst I draw breath, they never win another flag!
This game scares the crap out of me. We are a much better team and I think they're midfield is only a danger when they have both Judd and Murphy on the park (though I do love Mark Murphy and wish he had the self respect to get out of "Cheat the system however we can land" and go to ANY other team), our Melbourne form has been dreadful - including our near capitulation to The Bombers and that worries me. I hope our winning run has gotten deep into the boys psyche and they overcome whatever it is about playing in Melbourne that makes them crumble so often.
That said, I am not travelling down to this game so that means a win!Comment

I don't attach much credence to the "we go no good in Melbourne" line of thinking. We are only one good game away from being back in good form in Melbourne.
MCG same. We played some really good games there a few years back.
I don't believe in hoodoos, black magic, white magic, jinxes or curses. I believe in form lines, stats and probability.
Bit of a long bow but it's sort of like a two-up game. I have seen nine heads in a row. But eventually it came up tails.
My thesis in the bleeding obvious is: If we are much better than them (and I think we are) we will beat them convincingly.Comment

If you want to remind yourself why we hate them (besides GF losses etc)...
Time Machine to 1992 and their vulture like actions. Add to this their vested interest/% ownership of the Kangaroo's, and you can see who stood where, and what they had to gain from our demise. Also North were a part of the 1982 knifing of us, so they are on the list as well:
Anyway on with the trip down memory lane!:

BLUES PLOT
BYLINE: TIMMS D
LENGTH: 714 words
CARLTON wants to play its away games at the SCG from next season if the Sydney Swans fold as expected.
But the Blues can expect hostile opposition from other AFL clubs.
Only a last-minute reprieve will save Sydney, which has asked the other 14 clubs to approve a special financial rescue package at tomorrow's board of directors meeting at AFL Headquarters.
But most clubs indicated yesterday they would vote against any financial assistance, effectively killing the AFL's first privately-owned club and its bold plan of a national competition.
The Swans' demise would leave a licence free for the AFL to include another interstate side.
The Blues' proposal to play out of Sydney includes the choice of Sydney's top three players.
Brisbane is expected to receive the next four picks with the rest of the players either becoming free agents or going into the draft.
Carlton's proposal includes being sponsored by Sydney brewery Toohey's and playing under the name of Toohey's Blues - the company's light beer.
But opposition clubs say the proposal would give the Blues an unfair advantage.
The clubs say Carlton would have up to 19 homes games, two cities from which to draw corporate support, enormous television coverage, the three top Sydney players, as well as forcing other clubs to forfeit a home game.
Collingwood president Allan McAlister said last night his club would never play Carlton at the SCG.
He said it would be unfair for other clubs to give up a home game so Carlton could capture the Sydney market.
"And any move to give Carlton the opportunity to pick the eyes out of the Swans will be opposed," McAlister said.
"If the Swans aren't around, all of their players should be declared free agents and clubs can negotiate with them - but they must still be within their salary cap." He said it was ludicrous if Carlton had virtually a season of home games.
Carlton fans could also oppose their team's move to the SCG because they would see half as many games in Melbourne.
Carlton's proposed move to the SCG would fill the television void left by the expected departure of the Swans.
Despite the AFL Commission's plea, it seems certain the clubs will turn their backs on the interstate pioneers.
A Herald-Sun poll yesterday indicated only one club - West Coast - would support a financial bail-out.
Carlton, Collingwood, Footscray, St Kilda, Richmond, Essendon and Melbourne said they would not support any financial assistance for the Swans, who are understood to have cost owners $9 million.
North Melbourne, Fitzroy, Hawthorn, Geelong, Brisbane and Adelaide said they would wait for the commission's recommendations before making a decision.
The Swans have lost millions for three owners since shifting from South Melbourne in 1982.
The AFL yesterday refused to make any comments about the future of the Swans.
For the past three days, the AFL has detailed to clubs the options regarding Sydney.
They include the club folding if assistance isn't given and a Melbourne-based club playing away games at the SCG.
The Swans' owners, headed by television personality Michael Willesee, have warned for months they would dump the club unless the AFL supported a complete restructuring- financially and with recruiting assistance.
The Swans' owners, who paid $5.8 million for the licence in December, 1988, were originally given until December 31 to decide whether they would continue with the club beyond next year.
Carlton is understood to have been working for several months on its SCG proposal.
There is speculation it has already agreed to play at the SCG from next year.
Last night, an Australian rules group in the ACT again offered to provide facilites for the Swans at the Bruce Stadium in Canberra.
The AFL would need a side playing games at the SCG to satisfy the TV agreement with Channel Seven, which has paid $47 million for the exclusive rights for three years.
Asked how important those rights were to the overall coverage of football, Channel Seven's network producer of sport Gary Fenton offered a one word reply: "Very." Repayments by the Swans owners for the $5.8 million licence fee, according to a recent AFL statement, were to be spread over 15 years.Herald Sun

CLUBS REBEL AFL facing showdown over Blues
BYLINE: QUARTERMAIN G
LENGTH: 757 words
THE AFL Commission faces a no-confidence vote from rebellious clubs if it grants Carlton permission to play its away games in Sydney.
As the Sydney Swans wait for a "white knight" to arrive with a bounty of cash to offer the club a stay of execution, the AFL Commission is preparing itself for the most serious challenge to its powers since its formation on December 12, 1984.
A growing bloc of AFL clubs is concerned over negotiations between the AFL and Carlton for the Blues to fill any void created by the demise of Sydney.
North Melbourne leads a push for all Melbourne-based clubs to relocate one home game per season to Sydney in order for the national league to maintain a presence in the city.
It is concerned the Blues have asked for first, third and fourth picks of any Sydney players, with Brisbane being granted the second selection.
They are also incensed the AFL has the power to send the Blues to Sydney and disgruntled about a lack of information over the Sydney-Carlton issue flowing back to clubs.Last edited by magic.merkin; 31 July 2012, 11:09 AM.Comment
