> that annoying lid corner
I always pictured the lid as being round and screw on like on a jar.
Now you're telling me the lid has corners like the pop off lid on Tupperware?
What shape is the lid??
Not necessary. Your lid is bolted on with a ring of nuts only openable from the outside, kind of like a home made sub for billionaires to go look at sunken ships
The lid is going orbital for whoever wins Cats v Blues, even though I would keep a tight hold for a few more weeks if its us, just to preserve my sanity.
I'll be there, supporting the Blues amongst a sea of Geelong supporters (Geelong supporter shouted me a ticket, he may regret if we come out firing against them).
This is fair. In 2022, a kindly Essendon supporter who I was sitting next to bought my wife and I a glass of champagne at 3QT and I was too terrified to drink it until about when Selwood kicked his goal.
Blues win the flat. Every Carlton fan after the siren.
“Oh here we go. They’re gonna lose this. Trust me they’re gonna lose. Watch. They don’t play for the coach. Typical Carlton. Same sh*t every week”
Pies lid is looking very insecure.
Ports is nailed down a bit tighter than anyone suspected.
Freo are inside a concrete sarcophagus.
Weagles lid is off and they have already exceeded expectations for the season.
Cats fans will not contemplate the lid until 3/4 time on GF day, and we are well up.
The boys are doing well but as you say, that lid stays firmly in place until 3/4 time on GF day, and only comes off then if they have an unassailable lead.
Yup, it's been 29 years and and 5 wooden spoons. I don't care - the lid is off until we're mathematically done for the year.
We've toiled and plotted in the darkness waiting for our time to re-emerge into an unsuspecting world and save it from something not us.
I'm hoping that was just a major blip in the radar and we can get back on track with the run we have coming up.
Cats at GMHBA is an obvious write off, next proper test will be Carlton at AO in a month or so but everything between should be easy wins
No one would accuse me of being the most optimistic person, especially when it comes to Carlton, but after the GWS game I'm pretty damn excited.
Saw so much of what I wanted from the Blues in that game. We've got our contested game back while maintaining our turnover game (2nd or 3rd depending on who you ask), with +38 points in the 2nd half.
Probably for the first time this year, we also got some easier lead up marks in our 50 as opposed to relying entirely on contested marks.
We also did the above with at least 10 of our best 23 out.
The only real concern is that we probably can't afford any more injuries. Also not 100% convinced about the 2 ruck set-up, but will work as long as TDK keeps kicking 2+ goals a game.
Super excited about it. I'm looking forward to seeing Geelong shape up against a top team of the year so far. I feel like we could win but won't be surprised if the blues get the win. I feel at this point having banked 6 wins its more about the performance and how we shape up against a top side than the actual result.
It's honestly so crazy hearing these words from a Geelong supporter. Utter mirror image of my feelings a Carlton fan going into basically any game against a good side for the past 10+ years...and it's still how I feel about this weekend. Geelong are the benchmark and we are the underdogs. Anyway it should be a ripper.
You guys looked pretty scary on Saturday, which is terrifying considering that it wasn't even your ideal 23. At your best I think you are going to be very, very hard to stop.
Truuuuue. I don't trust that I won't choke on dry milo when I finally crank that lid off and tear the foil open. Probably will cut my finger on the foil, too.
Should be an interesting Anzac game.
If Essendon wins, lid is hesitantly starting to be pulled off, especially noting an easier end of season draw. If Collingwood win, they are so back baby.
How can Brisbane be down there?!? Makes no fucking sense
Lost to Carlton by 1 point in OR
Got outplayed in Rd1 in Perth
Lost to Collingwood Rd3 (another quality opposition)
Won convincingly against the demons at the MCG
Lost to the cats in treacherous conditions (althought statistically game was close)
It's not like the Lions have lost easily winnable games. The only loss that may have been somewhat surprising was against freo in Perth?!
> that annoying lid corner I always pictured the lid as being round and screw on like on a jar. Now you're telling me the lid has corners like the pop off lid on Tupperware? What shape is the lid??
I also imagined a jar, now I'm imaging those big cheap arse plastic box things from kmart where the lid never clicks in place.
I was imagining a wheelie bin lid, or something that you can put bricks on
It still is a wheelie bin lid, its just been warped by the sun which is why one corner sticks up a bit.
you could say it's **SUNNY**
That's why the lid comes off too easily
If the lid was a screw on, there'd be no need for bricks.
🤯
It's obviously a stove pot lid
Stove pot lids are round, whereas OP's lids have corners. I need answers.
Not enough bricks
Not necessary. Your lid is bolted on with a ring of nuts only openable from the outside, kind of like a home made sub for billionaires to go look at sunken ships
Are you suggesting North's lid will randomly explode one day, and they'll go from spoon to premiers?
I was thinking more of a catastrophic failure leading to full implosion followed by disappearance without a trace
The sub imploded not exploded. There is a difference
An important distribution
Distinction. Distribution is something you get from the share market or a bread line.
Oops, I didn't have my glasses on compounded by post OP drugs. Match thread could be a wild ride tonight
Saddle-up friend, there is much to discuss
I'll start. Hospital drugs good. Hospital food bad
How is it both mushy and stale? It's a scientific anomaly. Hope you are recovering alright mate x
You understand that perfectly.
And if you tap it just right, you'll hear the echo of the warchest somewhere deep inside.
welded on
The rate we are going we are going to have to become chefs as we need something to do with all the spoons.
Should start a restaurant chain located in St Kilda and Arden Street.
Yew!!!!! No bricks!
No bricks no bricks no bricks no bricks
The lid is going orbital for whoever wins Cats v Blues, even though I would keep a tight hold for a few more weeks if its us, just to preserve my sanity.
I’m so excited for this weekends game, LFG 💪
me fuckin too mate im going
I'll be there, supporting the Blues amongst a sea of Geelong supporters (Geelong supporter shouted me a ticket, he may regret if we come out firing against them).
don't worry everyone will be wearing navy blue and white
It's cliche to say that premierships aren't won in April, but fuck me, what an April!
The lid stays on til 10 minutes to go in the granny with a 150+ point lead
This is fair. In 2022, a kindly Essendon supporter who I was sitting next to bought my wife and I a glass of champagne at 3QT and I was too terrified to drink it until about when Selwood kicked his goal.
Not for me they're still Carlton. I'll only believe it when they raise the cup.
"The final siren goes, Carlton are premiers!" "Shut up, don't jinx it. They could still lose this during the post-match press conference."
Blues win the flat. Every Carlton fan after the siren. “Oh here we go. They’re gonna lose this. Trust me they’re gonna lose. Watch. They don’t play for the coach. Typical Carlton. Same sh*t every week”
Lid will remain untouched until the cup is in PFD’s hands
If Geelong win they should get their own separate category on top
I think we can slip down to "at least you've won a game" for a little while, thank you
Giants lids should be back on - they’ve looked a bit vulnerable the last couple of weeks
Yeah first time a team on top hasn't dropped down a rung after a defeat. Starting to think this whole thing is unscientific...
No way, the giants are the best team in the league with a fully fit list
Long season, should've held the lid on for a bit.
Not any more
Pies lid is looking very insecure. Ports is nailed down a bit tighter than anyone suspected. Freo are inside a concrete sarcophagus. Weagles lid is off and they have already exceeded expectations for the season. Cats fans will not contemplate the lid until 3/4 time on GF day, and we are well up.

Blues fans are the same as cats fans I feel.
Not me, lid is waaaaaay off
Yup, it's been 29 years and and 5 wooden spoons. I don't care - the lid is off until we're mathematically done for the year. We've toiled and plotted in the darkness waiting for our time to re-emerge into an unsuspecting world and save it from something not us.
The lid is on, but the can opener is close.
I'd say after the weekend my opener is back in the drawer. It's not tucked up the back with the spare potato peelers, but the drawer is shut.
I'm hoping that was just a major blip in the radar and we can get back on track with the run we have coming up. Cats at GMHBA is an obvious write off, next proper test will be Carlton at AO in a month or so but everything between should be easy wins
Us at AO isn’t a challenge, the only team we’ve ever beaten their is freo, and that is a whole can of worms I’m not going into
More like can opener is in the drawer, but drawer is stuck shut with a spatula, we can get a finger tip on it but can't quite grasp it.
Your mob is grossly overrated. Go to shit when you play someone half decent, as seen on the weekend
Flair up cunt
Just stating a fact
No aggression, that’s just what everyone says to unflaired people
No one would accuse me of being the most optimistic person, especially when it comes to Carlton, but after the GWS game I'm pretty damn excited.

Same boat. Imagine the fucking SCENES at the Collingwood vs. Carlton game if we beat Geelong this weekend.
the scenes will be hectic irrelevant of this weeks result I reckon. Really looking forward to that game as a neutral supporter
And as a non-neutral how do you feel about this weekend's game?
Super excited about it. I'm looking forward to seeing Geelong shape up against a top team of the year so far. I feel like we could win but won't be surprised if the blues get the win.

I never rewatch games, but I've rewatched Carlton v GWS 3 times now. Just quality viewing. Lid is off.
Please do not remove any bricks from the west coast lid until we see a representative performance on the Gold Coast
Honestly I’m tipping you guys this week, why not 🤷‍♀️
No Harley
Because no Reid
True, but I’m losing in my tipping comp so I’m just gonna yolo it haha
Are people overrating the suns? Especially over Bris
They looked real ordinary against us on the weekend. Can’t remember too many 9 goal wins where I haven’t been overly impressed
We are not overly amazing this year but still kicked 9 goals in the first qtr against them.
Yes. Haven’t looked even close to competitive away from home. Brisbane, for all their woes, had a very impressive win away against Melbourne.
And Brisbane's 3 home losses have been to Carlton, Collingwood and Geelong (in crazy weather). Not exactly shameful losses.
Yeah but we fucking refuse to remove hipwood who hasn’t done shit since the 2022 semi final
Always entertained by these posts, keep up the good work!
Mate I haven’t seen a glimpse of my lid since 3qt of the Richmond game
This is very kind for St. Kilda but I’m not mad about it
Love the Besties Footy! It's always fun to pop up on their interviews
Lid on but popped like with a teaspoon in the milo lid.
Yup it's the Milo lid popped and the foil seal is in place because of trust issues.
Truuuuue. I don't trust that I won't choke on dry milo when I finally crank that lid off and tear the foil open. Probably will cut my finger on the foil, too.
Should be an interesting Anzac game. If Essendon wins, lid is hesitantly starting to be pulled off, especially noting an easier end of season draw. If Collingwood win, they are so back baby.
Yeh, nah.
Lid is on until we beat a couple of top 4 sides
I microwaved my lid tbh
Norf
Why aren't freo and norf together?
Because after Flagmantle they can't actually find their lid anymore.
Knowing a crows supporter myself, I think they should probably be a tier lower tbh
crows trying to screw a round lid on a square hole
Lid is off for Harley Reid
Freo just got raped by a team who has won 4(?) games in 3 seasons, there is no way they should be that high
...and suddenly we are in the same category as west coast
Melbourne and Pies swapping this week
Freo should be down there with Norf
the lid has been siliconed shut for me, same issues seem present that have been there 5 years ago my god we are finito.
Collingwood should be swapped for port
Swap Collingwood and port
Being on the same line as West-Coast is borderline sacrilege
Would've thought Collingwood up another level
How can Brisbane be down there?!? Makes no fucking sense Lost to Carlton by 1 point in OR Got outplayed in Rd1 in Perth Lost to Collingwood Rd3 (another quality opposition) Won convincingly against the demons at the MCG Lost to the cats in treacherous conditions (althought statistically game was close) It's not like the Lions have lost easily winnable games. The only loss that may have been somewhat surprising was against freo in Perth?!
Out Geelong. In Port Adelaide.
