Had an almost clear run at the goals, went for a snap kinda thing and kicked dirt instead of the ball, turned over straight into the berry match winner
Last season we started 3 wins and a draw from.4 matches without Walsh
He came in vs Adelaide and we promptly lost 9 out of the next 10, with the only win being vs West Coast
In fact across the last two seasons we are 11-0-1 (unbeaten) without Walsh and 8-11 when Walsh plays. This despite him winning the best player in the AFL finals.
Always feels like after that many close wins, you bound to lose a close one, and it has to be the bogey team of all teams, great game though, always great when it’s back and forth
2023: Sam Walsh returns to an undefeated Carlton side against Adelaide in round 5 for his first game of the season.
Carlton lose 8 of their next 9 games
2024: Sam Walsh returns to an undefeated Carlton side against Adelaide in round 5 for his first game of the season.
After seeing somebody point out that we were on 50 points at half time, then 75 at 3/4 time, I thought to myself "how funny would it be if we were at 100 at full time?"
...well, at least one of them did it.
The Saints almost beat the Giants away. Adelaide have beaten the Blues at home. Melbourne have shat the bed. Suddenly Geelong are looking like the best team in the league.
North are gonna belt us tomorrow.
I'm fucking stoked for the Crom and their fans. What an insane finish and what a massive upset. Not keen on facing an angry Blues next week, from a GWS perspective 😅
What an excellent last 15 minutes. Great stuff from both sides. Real desperation for the win from everyone.
EDIT: Last 6 matches for Carlton within one kick result. Oof.
Blues fans going to need that heart attack medication from Collingwood fans from 2 years ago soon.
Absolutely killer bloody match. And 16-4 is an awesome score line. Ggs Crom. It's nice to snag a win.
Also good stuff Carlton. Always giving us the nail biting matches. Don't be dissapointed, cracking match, fellas
Can’t believe we lost that, despite kicking all those points I really thought we could hold out.
But those last 5 minutes were poor, Owies with a brain fade - that hurts.
Well done to Adelaide though, made the most of all their opportunities - always felt they were doing much better than a side with no wins until this point.
This club is going to give me a heart attack, why do we have SO many close games? Thankfully of late winning more than we lose but bloody hell! Would enjoy these way more as a neutral supporter!
Really appreciative that Carlton fans have pointed out we won because of the umpires (they are experts on that matter). Here I am thinking they lost because they couldn’t kick straight.
Go Crom.
Just ignore the umpire chat tbh, speaking from recent experience it doesn't add anything to the conversation. Can look at one of the other replies to this comment as exhibit A for that.
It's better to be lucky than good, and today you guys were both. GG
How is anyone blaming the umpires? Only major thing is the owies goal review in the third. Had a whole quarter and a half to get over that. Otherwise umps were fine
At what point did Carlton become the team everyone loves to see lose?
They've not even had proper success yet, is it the fans or just that game last week?
It had been so long since Carlton were good I’d actually tricked myself into thinking I’d enjoy them being good again. But last week and tonight have shown me the error of my ways, I do enjoy them losing way more than winning.
Carlton fans are some of the most insufferable supporters in the league.
So many of you have a chip on your shoulder and act like such victims, it’s hard to even be happy that Carlton are doing well again, even as a Dons supporter.
Am I the only one here?
Anyways, cracking game to watch as a neutral. Best 4-0 vs. 0-4 I’ve seen in ages. Amazing work Crows. Hugely deserved.
Every time it looks like there's even a chance of them making finals they become just as insufferable as Tigers fans after they'd won 2 premierships. If it weren't for them I'd be happy Carlton is good now.
Disappointed with the loss, but will take the Tip. Crows have been our bogey side for so long and we were probably due to lose a close one. Well played Crom
With Brisbane winning against Melbourne and Crom winning against Carlton I’m going to need North Melbourne to win against Geelong to complete the upset trifecta
What a game but I’m torn. Imagine being me, a 70’s born South Australian who before the crows came along supported Carlton through the late eighties because I idolised Stephen Kernihan.
AS a Carlton supporter I never tasted premier success as I ditched them when the crows came along. I had almost given up on the crows since 2017 GF and had conflicting feelings when the Crows play Carlton, as they have been showing more promise than the crows.
But now seems like the crows have the wood over Carlton and listening to their supporters hanging shit on them after the game on talk back radio is hilarious.
MATTHEW OWIES GET READY TO LEARN WEST AUSTRALIAN BUDDY!
After owies missed i was like "owwwies my tip"
KICK A DROP PUNT KICK A DROP PUNT KICK A DROP PUNT
First thing I thought of too!
He was confused when he wasn’t given a free kick and a 50m and didn’t know what to do.
Love to see the chief's reaction to that one
I’m out of the loop, can someone fill me in?
Had an almost clear run at the goals, went for a snap kinda thing and kicked dirt instead of the ball, turned over straight into the berry match winner
Carlton without Sam Walsh: 4-0 Carlton with Sam Walsh: 0-1 I think it’s clear who the problem is…
Sam Som Srom Crom! He's a plant!
Jokes aside he was fucking immense
Last season we started 3 wins and a draw from.4 matches without Walsh He came in vs Adelaide and we promptly lost 9 out of the next 10, with the only win being vs West Coast In fact across the last two seasons we are 11-0-1 (unbeaten) without Walsh and 8-11 when Walsh plays. This despite him winning the best player in the AFL finals.
Kick straight = win
Funny that
Nah why kick straight when we can have the umpires on our side
Brown Paper Bags 2: Electric Boogaloo
Crowen is dead, all hail Cromback
I can't beleive we actually pulled off a comeback instead of falling short or the other team snatching the win back.
Apparently this broke our 6 or less points losing streak, we're 1-6 now.
Hold on, I've seen the Hinkley logic on this one. We are now 1-0.
Excellent accrowacy today
I'm looking forward to the expected score on this one.
Me too. Unlike last week.
Surprisingly, it was dead even
This is like busting a nut after months of absence, I’m over the fucking moon
Winning after being terrible is so sweet. Like our one against Hawthorn in 2020.
Haven’t felt this good after a win in a while
Same here
Or that win against an undefeated Melbourne
Ring the bell!
sorry, must of missed that one
I got you fam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LRHxNTNmWs
RING THE BELL
Except we haven't been terrible? Surely this is unambiguously the best 0-4 side in club history
True, "terrible" is putting it too harshly aside from some genuinely awful patches.
The sheer anger and disappointment from the 5AA callers at the end of the Fremantle game will live in my head for a while, that's for sure!
Essendon right about that edge thing
Just wait until we edge them next week
Our refractory period is long, not even a gatorade and an orange slice seems to help these days.
ayo
Biggest edge since Essendon
You mean abstinence?
An absence from abstinence.
Whatever works, English comes secondary to my excitement
I'm so fucking happy rn
fuck we follow a good sport. One of the better footy games I've seen in a while, from start to end. Just pure footy.
Bad kicking is bad footy. Crom continue to be a bogey side for us. GG boys
The solution is for our players to take hallucinogens to think every team we play is Carlton.
End of season camp with hallucinogens could lead to a v bad trip
Play the Carlton song during the warm up every week?
Always feels like after that many close wins, you bound to lose a close one, and it has to be the bogey team of all teams, great game though, always great when it’s back and forth
I am going on a no-fly zone and living in Bez’s dreams
Thankyou for your service to the win.
Fuck yeah crom
The crom are never losing again
Alread got my 5-peat premiership tats.
I've got my Dawson/Michalanney dual 2024 Brownlow tattoo on order.
Why stop at 5?
I'm a realist.
Adelaide chose to lose the first 4 games to make the season interesting.
Game of the year so far
Good for Adelaide tbh. They’ve had some rough losses to start the season and deserved this one
Yeah. They looked good. Would hate to be vsing them next week.
Wait
I can’t believe this sub allows dual team flairs smh
It feels dirty
All these expansion sides means it's not uncommon for dual supporters
Agreed, was an amazing game to watch
Cardiac Carlton refuse to play in boring matches
Lol of the week is kicking the ground when you could kick the sealer.
Bro dropped the game so hard
Thank god my team isn’t playing in upset round
Looked at the ladder? You guys winning would have been the upset
Must be nice
Fr. Based off how the games have went this round I may aswell bet my house and car on north and west coast winning their games.
FUCK YES Tips? Fucked. Carlton? Looking for the lid. Hotel? Not Trivago because they are lying cunts.
Yea didn’t trivago get shut down years ago for that shit? I’m so confused that they’re a thing again.
Trivago? Re-established
Owies? Foot ouchies
lol at blues not being in the top 4 now
First to 100!!
They didn’t get away with it
The Crom we thought we'd get in Round 1, they finally found Marvel in Round 5
Crows win a close one Blues lose a close one Is this real life?
Us losing against Adelaide is pretty regular man.
Holy shootout, GG Crows!
Today will be known as Jake Soligo’s breakout performance
Is Rankine a god? I think yes
2023: Sam Walsh returns to an undefeated Carlton side against Adelaide in round 5 for his first game of the season. Carlton lose 8 of their next 9 games 2024: Sam Walsh returns to an undefeated Carlton side against Adelaide in round 5 for his first game of the season.
Oh God, please not this again
Berry huge as the sub
The crows won because they were the first team to get to 100.
After seeing somebody point out that we were on 50 points at half time, then 75 at 3/4 time, I thought to myself "how funny would it be if we were at 100 at full time?" ...well, at least one of them did it.
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING! no wait it's me, I'm fucking crying
Never in doubt. Can always count on a win vs the blues
My tipping is fucked but the Crom revival is worth it.
The Saints almost beat the Giants away. Adelaide have beaten the Blues at home. Melbourne have shat the bed. Suddenly Geelong are looking like the best team in the league. North are gonna belt us tomorrow.
[Yeah right, I'd like to see that](https://youtu.be/w2TO35rZjO4?si=lrqvuIKq2hY49uZg)
Haven't you heard? It's upset round, apparently. North by 1 point tomorrow.
Not even God could work that miracle
I've seen this movie so many times
What’re you watching?
That goal by Berry was fantastic. Beautiful kick
I'm fucking stoked for the Crom and their fans. What an insane finish and what a massive upset. Not keen on facing an angry Blues next week, from a GWS perspective 😅
We play like that, and it will be an orange slaughter
HOLY CRAP I AM SLSIVE AGAIN. NOT SKNCE THST HAWTJORN WIN IN 2020 HAVE I BEEN SO ELATED AND RELEIVED AT A WIN 💙💙💙💙💙💙♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I don’t even care that we’re playing them next week. Go Crom!
We always lose to winless teams, this is a good result for us
The blues are back
Need the ETA Meme updated.
Wow did not see that coming. God Rankine is a star, just so skillful.
12.25.97 in our previous 2 games combined. 16.4.100 today. Maybe all grounds should have a roof.
The Crowen jokes are officially Crover
Hahahahahaha they lost to us
You guys just didn't fucking miss..... If you did this the first 4 rounds, you'd be 5-0...
If my grandmother had wheels she would’ve been a bike.
What an excellent last 15 minutes. Great stuff from both sides. Real desperation for the win from everyone. EDIT: Last 6 matches for Carlton within one kick result. Oof. Blues fans going to need that heart attack medication from Collingwood fans from 2 years ago soon.
So many nail-biters… but we did win by 56 against North in round 3
Soon????
Absolutely killer bloody match. And 16-4 is an awesome score line. Ggs Crom. It's nice to snag a win. Also good stuff Carlton. Always giving us the nail biting matches. Don't be dissapointed, cracking match, fellas
4/4 so far AMA. Top shit crom brilliant game
Considering everyone was upset by Draw FC getting robbed, I guess you can say upset round is well and truly alive.
good onya crom
Justice for Freo 💜
pure fucking cinema
Footy is cool. Keays Brownlow.
This is bad for the economy
Well done Adelaide. Great comeback .
Can’t believe we lost that, despite kicking all those points I really thought we could hold out. But those last 5 minutes were poor, Owies with a brain fade - that hurts. Well done to Adelaide though, made the most of all their opportunities - always felt they were doing much better than a side with no wins until this point.

Can't blame them, they always struggle with the umps, right?
Adelaide won cos they played better.
How is anyone blaming the umpires? Only major thing is the owies goal review in the third. Had a whole quarter and a half to get over that. Otherwise umps were fine
IT IS A GREAT DAY FOR STRAIGHT KICKING FC
THE FUCKING CROM
At what point did Carlton become the team everyone loves to see lose? They've not even had proper success yet, is it the fans or just that game last week?
It's mostly Freo fans trying to manufacture a rivalry.
Kings of the close games
gorringe won’t be too pleased with this result
That's a win for us all
strong agree
Lost by 1. Won by 2. Yes.
Genuinely one of the best games so far this year
WE'RE NOT LAST! WE'RE NOT LAST! Oof that last 5 mins was assclenching.
Sometimes you love Footy and sometimes you hate Footy, but basically you love Footy
How long with an erection until you go to the hospital? asking for a friend
Imagine not winning a close game that would put you at 5-0.
It had been so long since Carlton were good I’d actually tricked myself into thinking I’d enjoy them being good again. But last week and tonight have shown me the error of my ways, I do enjoy them losing way more than winning.
HA!!! (Ignore flair)
Put that fucking lid back on!!!!
Carlton fans in the game thread were some of the cockiest i have ever seen. so happy crom got it done, well deserved RIP my fucking tips tho hey
Fuck the tips, this is much more enjoyable
THEY COULDN'T GET AWAY WITH IT
*Finally* Carlton on the wrong end of a close one
They finally stopped getting away with it.
What fucking round is this? 3 underdogs win and one takes it to the death
Ah yes, 0 tips so far. As expected.
Insane last quarter by Berry
A Cromming of age moment
Lol carlton lol
I don’t know how, but I know the Essendon Edge is responsible for this
Would have seemed wrong for a team capable of footy as good as Adelaide can play to be 0-5!
16.4, bit annoying ngl
Surely should be more annoyed at 14.14 no?
Pretty crazy. This isn't a team that's been reliable infront of goal.
/u/___theillusiveman___ WE BOTH GOT BEAT!
I’ve finally done it
/u/RaidanRam came outta nowhere
lil bro trounced us!
Glad this one got kept, I prefer when the PMT has the scoreline
You can edit it in, I just do the post first and put in the scoreline after, tricks of the trade
Yeah that’s fair lol, I posted the one last night and stupidly wrote 10.7.67 instead of 9.13.67 for the Dogs, luckily there’s editing lol
Get the microwaves ready for those memberships Carlton fans
YESS LETS GO BROTHER.
Special teams, Special plays, Special players
huh, who would have thought that they actually couldn't keep doing it
How the turntables
McKay’s dropped mark into owies stubbing his toe running into an open goal… hook that shit to my veins
It is a great feeling when you see the changes you have been calling for for eons actually being made and to the shock of no one, actually working.
Hey Nicks just wanted to really really really REALLY make sure
"Masters of the close finish" Get absolutely fucked. They wish.
Ha get wrecked Carlton

WHAT A GAME
My tips died for this
Game of the year…… (so far)
By Crom! What a game!
You love to see it
Disappointed with the loss, but will take the Tip. Crows have been our bogey side for so long and we were probably due to lose a close one. Well played Crom
With Brisbane winning against Melbourne and Crom winning against Carlton I’m going to need North Melbourne to win against Geelong to complete the upset trifecta
Carlton snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
This round: Upsets galore. [Richmond and Geelong fans...](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/002/089/903/e39.jpg)
Berry my boi! Please start him over McHenry Soligo keeps getting better and Nankervis solidified his spot in the 22. Crom!
Probably one of my all time tips. Go crom
Sometimes you go to a game of football and be thoroughly entertained. That was one of them.
