Our higher ranked is Zac Fisher
Our Lowest ranked is Captain Cripps.
Quirky but interesting. Poor Kicking has always been a bug bear of mine, perhaps we are on the road to fixing it.

Blah-Blah Bar / Eddie's Fight Against Racism in Australia
I want to do something about It and I am sure many on here would like to help also. It seems the worst environments for this abhorrent behaviour is online, guess what? We are online. There are many very intelligent people on this site, we cannot stand by and ignore Eddie and his people. What can we do? I sent Eddie a DM via instagram this morning telling him I want to help. I gave him my contact details and in the mean time, I pledged to him and all Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people that I would call out racism in any environment I find myself in and will report it.
Nuffs enuff people, we cannot stand by and do nothing.
Any ideas?

Ladies Lounge / Harris at Odds over Contract Talks
AFLW: Carlton and star Tayla Harris at odds over $150,000 asking price
Tayla Harris is the most marketable player in the AFLW but the Blues have their concerns. Will a looming pay stoush leave her looking for a new home?
A pay stoush between Tayla Harris and Carlton could lead to the AFLW pin-up player looking for a new club.
Harris is asking for about $150,000 to play in the 2022 season, which would make her one of the highest-paid players in the sport.
She is a Tier 2 player which means she is paid about $25,000 to play football and the remainder would come from marketing and employment roles at the club.
Harris, 24, was believed to have earned about $80,000 this year, and the Blues are baulking at her new asking price.
Separately, the Blues are also privately questioning her dedication to football and whether she is a good fit for the team.

Coming off her worst season as a player — she finished outside the top 15 in the club best-and-fairest — the Blues were disappointed with her standards in preparation and commitment.
At one session during the past season, Harris walked off the training track — without telling any of her coaches — to post on her Instagram page.
That act drew the ire of her teammates.
She did not play the next game. The club listed her as “managed’’.
She was also late to several training sessions and arrived at the start of pre-season unfit.
Harris’ manager Alex Saundry rejected the suggestion Harris was unprofessional in 2021 and said her star client wanted to stay at Carlton.
“She absolutely wants to be at Carlton, she remains 100 per cent committed to Carlton and I’m prepared for pretty robust dialogue between myself and the club over the next two to three weeks,” Saundry said.
“We have started negotiations.’’
She added: “I think she’s worth a significant amount. The commitment to Carlton and what she’s done over the past two years for the game locally, nationally and internationally carries a lot of weight.
“Has she carried that weight (this year)? No. Does she rely on her team around her? Yes, to help her through that.

Robert Heatley Stand / It aint over till its over - How the Blues can make the finals
It won’t be easy, and they’ll need a bit of help along the way, but this how they can do it.
First things first, the Blues must win their last three games.
That’s a non-negotiable.
Their quest starts with a Round 16 meeting with Sydney, where they need to win by 30 points and hope the Giants beat the Crows by 29 points or less.
ROUND 16 SCENARIO – THE KEY GAMES
Geelong d Essendon
West Coast d Western Bulldogs
Fremantle d Melbourne
GWS Giants d Adelaide BY 29 POINTS OR LESS
Carlton d Sydney BY 30 POINTS
In Round 17, the Blues need a timely percentage boost.
They will get their chance when they face bottom-placed Adelaide.
The Blues have been struggling with their scoring power, but they must put the foot down against the Crows and hope the topsy-turvy Demons get over the Giants.
ROUND 17
Port Adelaide d Essendon
Melbourne d GWS Giants BY 10 POINTS
Carlton d Adelaide BY 40 POINTS
Hawthorn d Western Bulldogs
Under our scenario, it all comes down to the final round.
The Blues will face their toughest test up against the fancied Brisbane Lions in what will take a herculean effort
If they do it, and if other results fall into place, they’ll scrape into eighth.
ROUND 18
Carlton d Brisbane
Essendon d Melbourne
St Kilda d GWS Giants BY AT LEAST 7 POINTS
HOW THE LADDER WILL LOOK UNDER THIS SCENARIO
1. Port Adelaide
2. West Coast
3. Richmond
4. Geelong
5. Brisbane Lions
6. St Kilda
7. Collingwood
8. Carlton

Blah-Blah Bar / Media Street
I wanted to start with the Olympia Valance story that's been in the papers (ie nude photos leaked). I am always suspicious when young largely unknown (often out of work) singers/actresses come out in the press with stories that their "phones have been hacked". I remember when Paris Hilton's home videos were "stolen" in a burglary. Nek minute, the tapes are for sale with her blessing and she is the number media personality all of a sudden. Hmmmm.
Today, Olympia's stepfather, and dead to the world, Ross "Daddy Cool/Mondo Rock" Wilson comes out in the HS in "support" under the headline "Olympia Valance’s stepfather Ross Wilson says she is relieved after revealing cyber crime". When you read the article, 5 very short paragraphs on Olympia's cyber crime story followed by 10 paragraphs and what this has been has been doing and up coming ventures, gigs, albums etc. Hmmmmm.
Discuss

Robert Heatley Stand / Sir Doug Nicholls Round
It would be remiss of me to not acknowledge our current indigenous boys led by Eddie but also a past great in Syd Jackson who I have had the pleasure of meeting and finer gentleman and Carlton person you would be hard pressed to find.
Enjoy the round, enjoy the culture and the joy it brings us, in this instance through football, not only today, but every day.
Cheers
