Round 13 - Carlton Match Preview
By LFBS
Scum, just about the best way to describe Carlton without using a certain word starting with C. Once again, we come up against Carlton as under-dogs for whatever reason, and frankly I wouldnt have it any other way. The scum seem to believe they won the premiership in 1999, and that arrogance still runs in them today. With the incentive of finals for both sides, it looms as a finals-like atmosphere.
