Carlton Supporters Club

our forward line fails when our midfield fails.

We needed to pick up a mature mid in the off season. They didn't arguably because of the bigger fish in the Club's sights for 2018.

But Fly, people want him picked for the outstanding leadership he apparently offers...

Daisy was booed during the player intros, copped flak during the game from our supporters and even on the way home on the train the talk wasnt about Zac Fisher's goal or nice debut it was all about Daisy and what a waste of time he is....

Too much of our good work in trying to move the ball quickly has been undone by skill errors or poor disposal. I'm hoping the new guys will start to make a difference by eliminating this on a dry track. Kerridge (poor disposal) and Graham (slow/poor disposal) being dropped is part of this drive.

Plowman's efficiency is becoming consistent as well as close to perfect. In fact the back six are building on what was a good 2016. Imagine, we've got young Byrne to come back mid season. That will be very interesting times for selectors.

Loving watching our journey unfold.

Go new Blues

No injuries for us, that I'm aware of.

Rowe just about played his best game for the club today.

Parko's three debutantes rule has been shown not to hold up.  Perhaps his teams didn't have the same desire, desperation and inspiring leadership 

I don't have a problem with tradies (I'm Labouring ATM), just flogs in utes flouting the road rules who claim to be builders when all they do it stick pre-made trusses together with plates.

Couldn't cut a line without a drop saw and would still #$#! it up.

Ed is but a tradesman but did an immense amount of heavy work inside today.

Pickett shows glimpses but looks like a player who hasnt played a lot of footy.

A few blokes at cheats FC overrated, past it or been a bit pumped up by the media.

IMO we got a better than normal run with the umps in the end.

Ahem, R21, 2012.

Going to have to wait and watch on replay.
What a great win though, if we were to win one game and that game influenced Essendon missing finals I would just about be prepared to accept that season.

6 players with 8 or more tackles including Kreuzer and 2 kids.

Great work blue boys

The Match Committee may have any number of reasons for selecting / dropping players. I wish Tom all the best. I've not seen him play, but the description on the CFC website say he's a defender / mid, with speed.

I'm blueycarlton just an occasional poster on this and other forums.
Both my parents and their parents were Carlton supporters, so the family's allegiance goes back into the 19th century. My dad first took me to Princes Park in the late 1950's. He grew up not far from the ground and I've been told he knew a few people at the club back then. So my children did not have any choice when it comes to Carlton. When I was 11 or 12 I used to get bouts of tonsillitis and be off school for a week or so and our doctor on a home visit brought a copy of The Carlton Story pub. 1958 to read. I was amazed at the history of the club.
So many, many years later when I stumbled onto the newly created Blueseum,  I was in blue heaven, and as no-one was doing the Pre VFL section I jumped in.

So now I'm heavily involved with the Carlton history web-site, Blueseum (www.blueseum.org)
Blueseum has a bio page on every Carlton player from 1864 onwards, more than 2100 players, plus Reserve and Under 19 grade players. The site currently has over 40,000 images including many team photos dating from 1868 onwards. Pre VFL Image pages, and year by year Image Galleries from 1897. Year by year details with most match details 1864-1896 and then round by round pages for each year from 1897 onwards. Stories about Princes Park, articles, memorabilia, membership tickets, etc. etc.

It's a real treasure trove of all things Carlton.

To all you Carlton barrackers out there, volunteers are most welcome to contribute to Blueseum.
