Terrible.

If Cripps goes with of course you can’t begrudge him however success matters - if we pull our finger out and compete properly and make finals I’m
Sure that would change things.
That's horrendous behaviour, those online scumbags are not Carlton supporters, it's terrible his partner has had to endure that bullying and most would understand if he wanted out back to WA to support her.

I'm afraid I'm so cynical about the AFL based on what I have witnessed first hand at TAC Cup level, the bullying and stand over tactics used to get young players in out out of squads or teams, I wouldn't put it past some clubs and other organised groups to be doing this systematically in a way that is intended to encourage Cripps move back to WA.

Are you trying to say that someone at Freo or Eagles are deliberately targeting a vulnerable human being just recruit a football player? Keyboard heroes are everywhere sad part of life Cripps is out of contract can go when and where he likes maybe he’s like me and sick of the spin we get given every year on how we are going places how we have a great young list with potential how we have a great coaching staff how our fitness staff is the best blah blah blah. Every year I fall for the same fluffy pr get my hopes up only for us to finish bottom 6, maybe Cripps does too till we start the season and other teams have improved quicker than us so we are again left with honourable losses and could’ve won if...... speculation until he signs but wait for the classic “ the club and I are waiting until the end of the season to sit down but I’m happy and not going anywhere “ kiss of death
Big test this week cant blame injuries or unavailability they are worse off than us

Agree, gutter behaviour from apologies for human beings.

I'm really confident that Crippa and Monique realise that these vile comments say much about the writer and nothing about Crippa and Monique. If anything, it'll simply make them closer.

Takes a lot of courage for Monique to go public about her anxiety disorder. Bravo.

Treatment and management of OCD has come a long way over the years. And people should be aware that when you have one particular anxiety disorder it often bleeds somewhat into other anxiety disorders. Someone with OCD may well also have some symptoms of GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), or PAD (Panic Anxiety Disorder), or SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder)... and so on.

It's hard to imagine that there are creatures, disguised as humans, who walk among us, capable of such disgusting comments as those made to Monique.

Whenever I've shared on FB or other social media forums, my PTSD and associated details, I also get the odd weasel comment, which has obviously been fermented in the bile of ignorance.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I doubt you can assert what club they barrack for at all, those online identities are a masquerade, just another layer of fog like the anonymity offered by social media commentary.

It's too easy to start off with phrases like, "I barrack for X, but .......................... ", or "Normally I wouldn't comment, but ..............."

I think the minute anonymous personas declare an identity prior to an online tirade, you can almost guarantee the exact opposite identity.

6 months ago I would've put my house on Cripps staying at Carlton for the entirety of his career.....now, I'm not so sure. And who could begrudge him really? He's busted his @rse and carried the club for years without too much meaningful support....he's starved of success. If he decides to go, then hopefully it's similar to us and the Eagles when Judd chose Carlton....agreement was reached in a way and the Eagles respected his decision, but still drove a hard bargain.

And the situation with his partner only complicates it and he's totally within his rights to do what's best for him and her....some of that online stuff is just despicable.

That all said, Cripps will be giving it his all this week and every week for the club....you wouldn't expect anything less. It's about time a few others put their bodies on the line as well.

IN: McDonald, Betts, Kennedy, Stocker
OUT: Casboult, Martin, Fisher, Setterfield

Plowman probably survives because of the smaller Freo forward line. And Murphy probably only survives because of Martin going out.

If Silvagni is fit, then bring him in as well and probably drop Newnes....Silvagni can play off a wing and push into the middle and the forward line.

Weitering says we'll see a response against Freo.
I have no doubt he'll make the effort, even if he hasn't much more he can give, as long as he's not flying solo!

SOS was only meant to be a week, seems to have trained well so should play and Newnes should be dropped.
I'd also drop Plow, he was totally terrible last week (and the week before really). The MC must make statements no matter if you are the captain or a rookie. We NEED to find the right mix who will perform for 4 qtrs every week. No more 15 minute cameos.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

We as a club need to start getting real with the non performing players. Start with the senior higher profile non-performers and put them on notice that their efforts have not been acceptable and if they don't meet standards on a consistent basis their careers with us will be at stake. This would definitely send a meaningful message from top down in the playing group in the short term.

This of course is only a tactical short term measure and not a substitute for getting the club sorted out properly and strategically.
