➕4️⃣.

Wasn't pretty, but we open our 2026 account with a four-point win at the MCG 💙

#Baggers #AFLBluesTigers

I take the W cause its Richmond and i hate Tom Lynch, buts its probably the least enjoyable win i have exprlerienced in 40 years of being a sports fan (not just footy)

Got a real bad taste in my mouth lol #AFLBluesTigers

First time since the 1968 GF that CARL have won a V/AFL game when kicking one or fewer goals after half time

#AFLBluesTigers #AFL

2026 Round 1 - Carlton v Richmond
#AFL
#AFLBluesTigers

I don't think I've ever seen a more undeserving win of a game of AFL football in my life. I feel embarrassed for both but more so for the winner. #AFLBluesTigers

Carlton didn't deserve to win, but i am so so so satisfied we did only because that dirty, gutless sniper Tom Lynch choked in front of goal.

He is biggest grub/coward footy has seen since Denis Banks.

#AFLBluesTigers

First time since 2010 that CARL have started a season with a 50:50 record after 2 games

The longest ever streak of any V/AFL side not being 1 win and 1 loss after 2 games into a season comes to an end

#AFLBluesTigers #AFL

Probably had momentum and generally played better for much more of the game compared to last year. Wasted opportunities cost us in the end. Plenty to take away and learn from that loss.

Anyone else think Voss’ demeanour on the bench is very mid? #AFLBluesTigers

Jim Carey oh here we go DOT jpg

#AFLBluesTigers

This club is going to send me 6 foot under one day. Also i dislike Voss's Park the Bus gameplan a lot. #AFLBluesTigers

Big moment! #AFLBluesTigers

ZAC ATTACK!!

Williams back through an absolutely vital goal for the baggers!

#aflBluesTigers #BoundByNavyBlues

#aflbluestigers

Gonna have to ban some more past players if they drop this one #aflbluestigers

Richmond should be in front. Should be.
