Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2024 Rd 7: Carlton vs Fremantle at Freo
Frustrating game to watch, for amount of times the girls worked hard to get possession only to turn around and run directly into a pack of freo players was infuriating, tbh. And the amount of times they kicked to a contest of 1 on 3/4 was equally as frustrating!

Good win in the end but must say I was generally disappointed by the lack improvement I saw overall in decision making.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2024 Brownlow Medal Thread
Heard Eddie McGuire on the radio this morning - they asked him whether the Brownlow should be changed and he said no it’s the umpires award. They said should the umps be given the stat sheets and he said no because even with the stat sheets it shows the midfielders get most of the ball. He then went on to mention a show on tomorrow and said they’ll have Bont Cripps and Daicos - coaches winner, players winner and umpires winner.

He was actually quite good.

I can almost guarantee if Daicos hadve won with those votes there would only be headlines of HOW GOOD IS HE!? RECORD BREAKING SUPERSTAR. The media is garbage.

Oh my god, the negativity. Most of us saw with our own eyes that he almost ALWAYS single-handedly influenced games that were in the balance (and dominated games that were not).


Don’t worry at all anyone - you’ve said it above ^

WE saw it with OUR OWN EYES.

I am very sure majority of Supporters of other clubs do not watch every Carlton game! They have no idea of what we see week in and out and the level
Of awe we still have when he bursts out of the centre or piles the team on his back to try to win.

So who cares what they say, forever it will be in history that he is a dual Brownlow medallist! No one can take that from him or Carlton.

He’s magnificent - all of my non Carlton friends and my workmates today are in awe of him! Those keyboard warriors are most likely mostly salty Collingwood supporters!

They tried (and failed) to get their guys up for goal and mark of the year when there were plenty of better ones so are even more salty with the result!

Umpires are not idiots.
Crippa gets tagged more than any other player but still makes the ball his sole focus.
He [almost] never remonstrates or complains when the umps ping him for incorrect disposal or htb (umps would LOVE this).
He almost always finishes games strongly which means he would be fresh in their minds when they cast the votes afterwards.
There’s not a dirty bone in his body (I see there’s some idiots still going on about Ah Chee getting in his way).
He actually smiles on the field like he enjoys being out there. Just a likeable guy.
Totally agree esp the likeable part.

The AFL continue to ram Daicos down our throats but all my friends - not Carlton supporters - all love him and the way he plays.

Robert Heatley Stand / Who wins 2024?
Yes we have been bundled out - so I have zero care who wins.

So disappointed in this year.

To be second on the ladder to being so terrible is unacceptable.

Regardless - I don’t have a soft spot for anyone left and will be tuning out of the finals series now 👋🏼

But do you have someone and why?

If you cant get yourself fired up for final and be ready to run through brick walls from the opening bounce, go and choose another occupation. Im being critical here but I was a little disappointed at the leadership in the first qtr. It needed someone (or two) to stand up and do something.
They obviously felt there was fk all left to do next week and then potentially the week after!

Zero belief!

Terrible display!

Who’s the  leadership group? Cripps, Walsh, Weiters,
Newman.

I thought after Thurs night I wouldnt see a worse finals showing, our first qtr and a bit was the worst performance I have ever seen. No pressure, no intensity, no desperations, its as disappointed as I have been watch us play. The game was done and dusted at qtr time, I could not believe what I was seeing.
Defeated before the first bounce.

Had we had a mixture of a few ins and the usuals in maybe we could see past the game, but I think those on the ground knew there wasn’t much left.

I don’t care for what why if or buts the reality is the conditioning fitness or any other reason the group capitulated after being second on the ladder was either extremely unlucky or extremely incompetent - not acceptable.

The concern is too if we run with the same list we are probably going to be passed by a couple of other teams who will improve like Hawthorn have and we could be battling to make the eight.
Yep.

I fear we have missed our opportunity for a Cripps premiership 😔 

Not all players can do all things - but for a start, clear out the injured players.
Enough. 

And sorry but clear out players that cannot be trusted / I’m talking McG, Williams, Pittonent, even Cerra and maybe Acres.

Ye some of the best might win you a game. But consistently do not provide enough.
