Carlton Supporters Club

Hodge and Lewis are media men.

Lewis works with Gerard on Fox and I think  Hodge does as well.

Kids under 15 definitely free - got one at the week-end. Don't know about the other offer as I only bought one adult ticket (for my son in law) and didn't need a second (damn!). I will use my membership to get in.

I'm warming to the idea of bringing in Casboult as the first ruck and retaining Wood as second ruck/forward. It would be good for his confidence (better than the NBs), give him some opportunities to kick at goal without the pressure of being a designated forward, and we would benefit from his marking. He's likely to be more part of our future that Warnock I'd say, and he's worth a few games at least to see how he goes.

I saw on Facebook and in the From The Coach email that this game is a buy on get one free entry in GA and kids under 15 free. Does anyone know if this will be available at the ground or only when buying online?

There is something in this thought I believe.  Cas is better suited to running with Martin that either Wood or Warnock both of whom would be exploited by Martin's ability o present around the ground.  Even if Cas did no more than stick tight to Martina and give a genuine contest against Martin around the ground that would be better than the free reign Martin would have if "manned up"(and I use that term in the broadest possible sense) by either Warnock or Wood.

Gerard Whaitley stick your head up your clacker…argues for 1-2 for Lewis hit and 2-3 Hodge…u dog u wanted 4-5 for Yarran….Lewis and Hodge have been snipers for 5 years…cost Murphy 10 weeks broken collar bone…..what a wanker…...

Completely agree about Whately...he is a t0sser.  Carey on Talking Footy last night was not as forgiving......he thought 2 weeks was very, very lucky & both he & Watson were in disbelief that May got the same penalty for a perfect hip & shoulder while playing the ball ! Talk about protected species.

Watson was also talking about the possibility of introducing a "sin  bin" ala every other contact sport in the world.......now that I'd like to have seen, both Hodge & Lewis off the ground for a period of time.  He mentioned the Grand Final where Lake won the Norm Smith but also got 4 weeks from the indcident in the game......imagine if Lake had to go off to a Sin Bin for set amount of time.....that could have been the difference between the Hawks winning or losing a GF !

Teams would think twice about thuggary if it meant players missed game time in a GF instead of a couple of weeks the next season.

Darcey, of course, couldn't see it......what a waste of air.

If implemented correctly, the sin bin is an excellent idea.

Agree with all your opinions about the commentators - Darcy, GW are major douches. Carey is becoming my favourite. Partly because he is actually ok, and partly because the competition is non existent. 

Good post malo.

Don't like the sin bin idea. Umps are scary enough.

Why were Collingwood booing Judd BTW? Just feral?

Isn't it because he chose us over them?

Agree Paul & Malo.

I respect Carey's views - he makes a lot of sense to me, unlike most of the others. Mathews is also good IMO.
