Re: VFL 2023 Rd 10 Carlton vs Sydney in Sydney

He is not on an AFL list, he doesn't have to support Carlton, currently the 2nd's (VFL), is where he works and that's it. There are probably many VFL players that don't feel 'part' of the club because we do not really treat them that way.
The VFL is a development squad and that is it. I have said repeatedly on this site that we should build a winning culture by developing our VFL team with a view to winning regularly and competing to win the title. Our seniors are not capable, we would at least have the reserves to look at - in fact I would rather support a winning seconds team most weeks that watch the seniors play.
I can well understand Crocker's affiliation with the Pies, that was the club he 'really' played for and probably still makes him feel welcome.
Fair points, I think given our predicament, many will try and use it to stir the pot (ie not united) as per the tweets where I saw it suggested.
