Carlton Supporters Club

Get used to being without Cripps next year, I read an article in the WestAustralian paper this morning about his girlfriend and her mental health battles. She has received a lot of hate mail from Carlton supporters about her relationship with him, some telling her to kill herself others saying he’s having an affair etc  She came across quite strongly saying she wouldn’t let the keyboard warriors get to her etc. His younger brother has also just overcome a knee injury and is playing with East Freo colts as a 19 year old overage player. When people say he’s from  the country not Perth, that’s just where the family farm is. He’s pretty comfy in Perth and East Freo is a nice spot on the river.

Walters to return according to WA news report.
If so, who plays on him?

Ch7 showed Coach Teague roasting the players at training for not training with intent. Smashed em also at the Monday review apparently. I'd imagine the club Psychs will be busy this week with players as that's not the done thing anymore with the new generation.
What worries me (doesn't surprise me though) is its Thurs training and they still havent responded to last weeks showing or trained to the expectations fo the coach.

Watch the video of Parks being told of his selection. Based on purely how hard he competes (and a bit of form of course). Teague emphasised this point quite a few times.

You can tell Teague is over weak non aggressive performers who want to play pretty boy football only but wont get their hands dirty and wants more mongrel in the backline.
Think he is getting the message that 22 Von Trapp kids wont get it done and we need some players who will bleed for the jumper.
Good luck to the kid and hope we have found a diamond in the rough.

Teague was seen slapping the players with wet lettuce leaves at trying yesterday, should fire them up for Sundays game. Mate he is responsible for the Von Trapp kids non agressive performance. He's had a whole pre season to drum aggressiveness into them and they dish up that v the Filth? And on the Thurs before the next game, he is still hammering them about training with intent? His message aint getting through it seems.

Thought the same thing, GTC.

How come this is a focus ...NOW! Why are we STILL so damn reactive? Is there anyone in the place with vision, initiative and foresight - in other words, prepare the side to be a ruthless team before the season starts. Ah, yes, ruthless... we talk it better than anyone, but do the players know what it REALLY means to be ruthless? The sacrifices? The mongrel persistence? The uncompromising attitude to take into every single contest? The powerful standards to uphold as if it were your life depended on it? Sheesh... well, better late than never, and, as ever, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating over an extended period. But, it does start with this Sunday. Here's hoping. I'll be watching with a near exhausted optimism.
