Carlton Supporters Club

I've also heard that Davies is pretty hands on (and omnipresent),  and the players are a bit wary (terrified, some might say) of his presence.
He does have a bit of that aura about him.  

A lot of assumptions as to when the new gameplan started -  I like a lot of others have seen a massive change with the new coach - as to who trained that no one on here knows but the one thing no one can argue against is we were 1 -8 and then the bandaid was ripped off and we have not lost since. That's one very big coincidence as to when the wheel turned don't you think?

I don't disagree with that, but why not say that first?

I found it odd that you used the free kick count to justify your thoughts, which doesn't actually help your argument.

what are you talking about?

Like Brodie Grundy?

FYI, Pitto gives away 1.7 free kicks a game.
Grundy gives away 2.9 free kicks a game.

Maybe he doesn't know the rules either?

Witts gives away 1.9 free kicks a game.
McAndrew gives away 1.8 free kicks a game
Luke Jackson gives away 1.7 free kicks a game.
TDK gives away 2.0 free kicks a game.

Perhaps its the rules that are the problem.

Issue is Grundy Witts Jackson TDK etc are more than handy outside the stoppage. Unfortunately, our man is a bit of a one trick pony except for the first 2 rounds where he was leading the coleman

Pit has grown on me - I was never a big fan but something him tells me he is a rippa bloke and sounds like a quite infectious character in the team which is a strong quality in a team sport but as a pure footballer in his position he would be in the bottom 2 -3 if you look at it without bias

if we had an a-grade ruck (that knows the rules),  the list would look a lot better.

Don't think any supporters pro Voss or anti Voss buy the idea that he genuinely resigned.
It was a negotiated exit and another Carlton sacking designed for less mess than usual to generate better optics for the outside world.
The players let Voss down, there is no magic in Frasers board of magnets or messaging Imho. The same players Voss defended all season were the same ones who didn't produce for him when it mattered and when it's your top players it's only going to end one way.
Why are they playing better now? maybe extend their careers, save their careers, push their asking price up for other clubs or fear the newbie enthusiastic kids will expose their lack of effort?
Wright, Priestley and Davies wouldnt be my idea of a supportive senior management. I was and am no fan of Voss the coach but he should have been let go last season in a clean manner and not made to be part of and suffer the treacherous masquerade and waste of time that went on this season.

EB, players play to a system at the highest level sure they have to execute it but the actual gameplan is on the coaches. There has been significant game day changes since Fraser took over (in particular the first 3 weeks). 

Interesting that Jagga Smith still felt the need to credit Vossy for win in his post match interview.

I wonder if the club will put a stop to that.

after shocking start to the season, hayward was really starting to find his form,  kicking goals, and working as that last kick into 50.   but the previous couple of weeks (prob since caroll went down),  he seems to be playing more wing, and getting a lot of ball at half back.   he may be good at this role,  but he is exceptional in the forward half.   they need to get him back to where he is most dangerous - kicking goals or creating them

I like his aggression but, instead of the late (unnecessary) bump that seems to surface from time to time, he needs to sell those actions as an attempt to smother or adversely effect the kick.

I need to go back and watch the replay back but they received an  extraordinary number of free kicks at the centre bounce, whether it be a ruck infringement or holding free against us.

Please bombers were screwed over. We would be filthy the other way around which is often usually the case.

How the hell do we go from matching it with Geelong to nearly being overrun by Essendon? In one week?

Holiday mode.

Worse than the Richmond win
