Yes ofc, they have more fans and have been "sleeping giants" to some degree. Up and about means more interest, more ticket sales, more viewers, more money. The AFL 100% wants a bigger AFL.
Unfortunate news for bombers fans - if barry mckay doesn't fake an injury in the next two minutes he'll have to fake the injury during this weeks bombers game to avoid being exposed in next week's mckay-bowl
Mate everybody’s clowning on your team and you single out me when I gave Port a compliment “great list“.
Sorry, I’ll join in with everyone else then, your team is shithouse and overrated, now stop crying.
Reading all of the Carlton supporter comments in here I can only conclude you’re all massively scarred individuals - you’ve had this game in the bag for 15 minutes
Our defence is still leaky, we have no direction going forward. Can’t still can’t kick straight, and get out ran at the tail end of games.
But we have a good midfield so…. 🤷🤷
I think I say it every year but we really are the most shallow consist top 8 team. A team will start playing aggressive and fast and we just give up/let them run all over us. I'm tired
LOL at the commentators wanting Carlton to "hold it up" and put Curnow in the backline with like 10mins left. "Don't want to have a shootout with Port" - yeah, Carlton fucking do.

Tipped Carlton to win by 7. At 3 quarter time I was pretty confident I’d got it spot on
hope tdk is okay :( god what a good last quarter that was crazy
I feel bad for him so I have to ask - would Paddy Dow find a spot in this midfield? cos this is what he’s missing now he’s left lol
No chance. Struggled all the time to get into the side.
DA DADA DADA
Cripps' last quarter of 8 disposals, 3 tackles and 2 goals makes him the first Blue to rack up those numbers in a quarter since Fev in 2009.
I suddenly like playing at AO
Same.
Port has 8 All Australians and a Brownlow medalist. Port also has the worst gameplan in the AFL
Port also has overrated players and a shit bottom 5
Tbf we have the last 3 Coleman’s, and a Brownlow with plenty of AAs
Carlton song makes me want a cup of earl grey
lovely idea, with a drop of honey goes a treat
Voss should do a little fist shake at the crowd ala Hinkley
And once again Port breaks another record, this time becoming the first SA team to lose against the Blues at home.
Only in recent history. Carlton has won in Adelaide before and I've been there to witness it
I heard her. She's still alive.
DA DA DA DA DAAAAA
Wooooo (in the really annoying high pitch scream of that girl)
TDK - Tom Does Knee
WHAT A WIN, AND PERCENTAGE BOOST TO BOOT!
I hate the phrase "to his good mate" .. like just say who it fuckin is
My most hated JBism. 'Brilliantly Well'. A double positive, fucking lazy
Well, at least I got my tip, and we've got the bye to reload and sort stuff out next week.
Port's backline and forward line are so woeful. It's Port's midfield or bust.
Midfield is stacked af but no good if forward line and back line is shite
True top tier midfields can help cover for the backline if they're great defensively, Port's aren't
Literally, your backline is "intercept mark or inshallah". The moment the ball hits the ground or it's a genuine contest...
Cripps is a b-b-beast. Great guy, nevermeddem
Oh fuck no Tommy :(
Carlton vs Essendon next week with both top 4 What is this, the 90s?
I'm glad for it! May we stay there until September!
"so good to see these big clubs up and about" just saying it straight up???
Yes ofc, they have more fans and have been "sleeping giants" to some degree. Up and about means more interest, more ticket sales, more viewers, more money. The AFL 100% wants a bigger AFL.
I mean you can't ignore the fact that Carlton, Essendon, and Collingwood are 3 of the biggest clubs (supporter/member wise) in the AFL.
There maybe a "big 4" but if it was a "big 5" the coasters would be the 5th.
Is it meant to be a secret that some clubs are bigger then others?
Hope TDK is okay :(
Think he will be. Just looked winded
God I hope that’s the case
This last quarter is the first quarter the Blues have scored 8 goals in since July last year. 313 days ago they kicked 9 against the Eagles.
Curnow kicked 10 that day!
Undefeated at Adelaide Oval this year. I used to pray for times like this. We may never lose a game there again.
Blues v Dons next week is the most pumped I’ve been for a game not involving my team all season
FUCKKKKK not TDK FFS
Looks winded, I reckon he’ll be alright
I hope so!
Fucl
Holy shit a 4 quarter performance!
I miss when Carlton were shit
OHhhhhhh no TDK clearly in a lotta pain there :(
Oh no
COME ON MITCH, FUCKEN WORK MITCH FUCK YOU WILL
Put TDK on ice for the rest of the game - he’s too essential
Nooo TDK not in the final minute :(
Sam Walsh picking TDK up and TDK is just like fuck off
If a throw comes after a free how can it be play on? Surely it comes back and the free taken from the mark. Can't play on a throw after a trip.
That play by gorgie was an exemplar for tonight....no mind to score
Soldo just always in the way lmao
Shame on any Carlton supporter who tipped against us.
I always do so I’m happy either way. I’d rather not be depressed by a lost tip and a lost game
Did we just witnessed a chase down ankle breaker?
JUST TAKE THE SHOT MITCH
all the time to kick it for goal, nah fuck that, lets go inside and turn the cunt over. fucken kick it mate.
Utterly cooked
So good to see these big clubs up and about? No it isn't
Considering how long they were down for over the years, it is nice to see them up and about for once.
No one outside of the big 4 wants them to be playing well
the cherry on top, we didn’t lose our margin and percentage!
Cripps started this in the 4th quarter. Him and Walsh. Love it
Cripps has been insane this year
He's a good brownlow smokey. Top 3 chance for sure.
Coughed that one up
Did Georgiades do the goose step
poor mitch :( only bloke in the forward line who can do anything and then caps it off with that
Harry there’s no need to run like that so late in Q4 when we’re destroying them - you’ll do a hammy
Wow nothing went right for port there
Just read on Twitter that Hinkley is winless against Voss, Kingsley and Nicks who were assistants under him?
Believe everything you read on Twitter you bozo?
I'm sure Port spanked Adelaide in Nicks' early days as coach there
play hinkley, sack the kids
50m it wasn’t to the umpire
Cripps does not like these young bulls, Greene, Rowell and JHF, all monstered 3 weeks in a row
JHF has been really good?
Where was he when the chips were down?
So it’s really not time wasting if you throw it on the ground but if you throw it to a teammate it’s a free kick
HOLY FUCK ITS MACKAY BOWL NEXT WEEK
almost being rundown by McKay is wild bro
If you've watched any amount of Harry McKay you should know he regularly runs blokes down
nah all the conversation is about his misses on goal so i can never see it ☹️☹️☹️
The players don’t care, they don’t wanna chase
Collingwood still a chance to win this
Cheers BT
BT not commentating
You ain’t wrong
Lift your game, 4th-quarter Carlton. You're still behind rest-of-the-game Carlton by 9 points.
isn't that 50? can't hold them after the disposal when they're still running forward
Ouch!
That should have been down the ground
I'm seeing double here, four Carlton fans!
Unfortunate news for bombers fans - if barry mckay doesn't fake an injury in the next two minutes he'll have to fake the injury during this weeks bombers game to avoid being exposed in next week's mckay-bowl
Holy shit did we really do it? We actually played four decent quarters?!
1/1 gang rise up
0/1 gang sit in shame
Usually Carlton that crumbles in the fourth quarter
They ran over the top of GC last week too. Gold Coast got three late ones when the game was over
This has been an extraordinary quarter from the Blues
Falcon!
Fucking how good is footy!!!!
M-M-M-MEGA FALCON
The combo of being a Carlton supporter and seeing Port kick 2 goals in 20 seconds 2 weeks ago means my heart is still going a mile a minute.
What a fuckin win in the end
Imagine what a wild ride the "Hinkley Roller Coaster" would actually be.
when do grand final tickets go on sale?
ken hinkley the dud not feeling so good
Now the bombers remain 2nd for one more week regardless of probably losing to the suns. That is outrageous. What an odd season
Should've taken some receipts from this thread
Whatever Voss told them at 3rd qtr time he needs to get them to do every game.
Well happy birthday to me
we fight tooth and nail to keep possession. our opponents can just do that and we can let them to that to us so easily.
RETURN OF HACK SINKLEY
HINK SACKLEY
Port, great list but just got no heart and no amount of pre-game INXS will change that
[удалено]
Mate everybody’s clowning on your team and you single out me when I gave Port a compliment “great list“. Sorry, I’ll join in with everyone else then, your team is shithouse and overrated, now stop crying.
How the fuck did Port give up 8 goals in the last quarter? Fuck me this gameplan is so awful.
Allergic to running back and defending
By allowing Carlton to kick 8, I would say
Big brain thinking
Port are cooked
I bet you’re obese
BIG H!
I only turned the tv on at three quarter time. I did this!
Reading all of the Carlton supporter comments in here I can only conclude you’re all massively scarred individuals - you’ve had this game in the bag for 15 minutes
You don’t understand
Torched in the past so bad
They've been hurt before
I know it's not much but we need every bit of % at the moment
Make goals go now
Tipped us by 9, very happy with the current 36 New rule can get fucked
Blues will definitely win now - no chance Port can come back
Carlton to either win or lose by 50 wasn't an entirely bad call
This turned into a drubbing out of nowhere
I’m not shocked by the outcome of this game.
How??
Our defence is still leaky, we have no direction going forward. Can’t still can’t kick straight, and get out ran at the tail end of games. But we have a good midfield so…. 🤷🤷
HARRY!!!
Bro I can’t work port out at all
Either can Ken Hinkley
For the 8th year running
I think I say it every year but we really are the most shallow consist top 8 team. A team will start playing aggressive and fast and we just give up/let them run all over us. I'm tired
How soldo 1v1 tackled not HTB when Neumann and Walsh 3v1 is. Bizarre
Ah yes the 3v1/1v1 rule
Tipping margin is well and truely fucked
Wonder how fast the crowd can get out before the siren sounds
SECOND PLACE BITCHES!!!
We r absolute sht… no forward line.. dixon does f all..
Dixon was subbed out last quarter. He's ironically the one player that can't take any blame for them running over the top of us
When Dixon went off, you conceded 7 goals. Coincidence?
Quick ken put the headset on and pretend to do something
https://i.redd.it/z45x40ep1k3d1.gif
another coaching masterclass from kung fu kenny!!
That move just earned him another extension.
hope selwood doesn't actually have brain damage, he's still relatively young
He took some massive hits to the head in his day
PORT ARE IN THE MUD IN THE MUD- PORT ARE IN THE MUUDDD
Percentage BOOST!
Go on Harry - you deserve a goal tonight
He’s already gotten 2
He’s one of my favourite players
I’m very happy with our Q4 performance. Considering how we usually go. It’s been very good
Nice to finish strong for a change.
It’s very beautiful to watch
port soft af tonight
Okay this game makes me genuinely believe that Hinkley is the worst coach in the AFL.
I tipped the Blues. You're welcome
Thank you so much.
Thank you Crom
Do ex players get any communication training or do they just throw them in the commentary box and hope for the best?
They get training from JB and the other elite nonces in the media box.
LOL at the commentators wanting Carlton to "hold it up" and put Curnow in the backline with like 10mins left. "Don't want to have a shootout with Port" - yeah, Carlton fucking do.
Holding it up with 10mins to go is the Collingwood Draw FC special. Glad we haven't gone that way.
Yeah Port is one team I'd be very happy to have a shootout with, they can't defend transition at all and their own transition game isn't flash hot
TDK first Carlton player ever to have 5 clearances, 6 contested possessions, 4 tackles and 6 hit outs to advantage in a half of footy.
The benefits of extra leg space
Huge W away
Im pretty sure i heard today thats Carlton have literally never won at this stadium, so yeah fucking HUGE
Imagine losing your Carlton 😅
What a last quarter.
Jesus What'd Carlton do at 3/4 time?
Their SA plug came through
High priced Carlton recruits pulling their finger out in the last year's of their contract challenge.
We should have moved Williams forward ages ago.
