Collingwood 79 Fremantle 59, the prelim finals are Geelong v Brisbane and Collingwood v Sydney Swans. The winners will play each other in the grand final.
 
I have some sad news year, Mario Bortolotto a member of Carlton's 1981 and 1982 premiership winning teams has passed away. He was one of the main reasons Carlton beat Richmond in that 1982 grand final. He did a great job on David Cloke that day.

Of course i meant to say sad news here as opposed to year my bad. Nice tribute here on the Carlton website.

As much as I've enjoyed Brisbane's finals run, I'm pleased Geelong won. Think they have the best chance of beating Collingwood (if they get up over the Swans this arvo). Anyone but the Pies!

Sydney Swans 95 Collingwood 94! The Pies are out thank god for that!:pint2::pint2:In fairness to Collingwood though, they've had a much better season than people were expecting. I doubt even @Sinski expected them to do this well.

The encouraging thing for Carlton is that we pushed two quality teams, in both Melbourne and Collingwood to the limit, but consistency of effort is an issue. Collingwood compete hard in every game, while Carlton don't put the effort in for every game, and we can even switch off during games.

If we can sort that out, and solve the reason why we get so many injuries, then we should hopefully be in the finals next year.

Anyway hopefully we'll have a great grand final, and i'd prefer to see the Swans win. I don't hate Geelong to the same extent that i hate Essendon, Collingwood and Richmond, but i still dislike them all the same!lol

Finals this year have been awesome, some really good games. Would prefer to see the Swans win too.

Yep. Pies have had a great season. Can’t be too upset coming from 17th to a prelim final. Hope the swans win the grand final.

The Blues last played in a prelim final back in 2000.:blush: It would be nice to see Buddy win another premiership medal as well.

Although i am a realist. The Cats are probably favourites for this one. They've been the best team in the competition since Melbournes form dropped off.
 
Patrick Cripps wins the Brownlow medal, and Charlie Curnow wins the Coleman medal and yet Carlton still missed the finals!

There's going to be serious pressure next year. It's finals or bust imo. Vossy knows more about our shortcomings now though, and hopefully they'll be rectified in the off season.
 
Perhaps they still do it, but on the eve of a grand final there would be the grand final marathon. It's basically playing a rerun of old grand finals for hours on end.

This years grand final will be on at 5.30 am this Saturday morning where i am. It'll be an early start to the day, but i'm still going to get up nice and early to watch it!

It would be nice to see Carlton play in one some day! 1999 was the Blues most recent Grand Final appearance. North Melbourne who were the winners that day, haven't played in one since either though.
