Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2025 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong
At the 20 minute mark of the last quarter both Weiters and McGov were waving their arms and yelling out to Charlie to come back, even the crowd around me, level one Carltonians Bay joined in calling out for Charlie, he duly came back. So Charlie doesn't decide, he's called back by Weiters, we were there we saw it

Enjoying being 'home' again from my self imposed BF exile, must say some of you seem very similar to some of the posters over there!?! I'm 'Dirty Leeds' over there, I cop bans for my honesty, I hate super negative naysayers and call them out, had a list before the Eagles game which cost me a week!
The longer that this week goes, the more confident I'm getting. Doc is one for the spirit, Harry can win a game from his own boot, Williams and Moir bring the X factor forward, Kemp has Peirce traits up front, Binns and Lord change the speed and grunt of the mids, and finally Weiters and Walsh weren't there in Round 0.
This team, on paper, is just about the most talented "8th" team I can remember!!! And that's probably without Charles and TDK!

He accused me of "embracing failure", not once have I even suggested it and if this bozo knew anything about me he wouldn't be so insulting in all his other posts, so instead of defending him let him take some responsibility. That's the problem with this site it's always the same old crew, ignoring the rest of us whilst you have you little conversations, this site is really nothing more than an ongoing conversation between about ten of you. You only ever respond to the majority of posters when you condescendingly comment on our "stupid" posts, or your usual response, just ignore what we have to say. And some of you wonder why this site has lost so many members.....
I've been posting here, and it's former carnation for over ten years, followed the team since I was in grade two, 1970, sat in the stand and watched five premierships, watched them loose two, my moniker says I am still bleeding Blue! So when some anonymous keyboard warrior  starts insulting my opinion, and trust me I truly consider my posts, it leaves such a foul taste in my mouth. I don't want to let bullies win, so whilst part of me wants to feck off, the significantly bigger bit wont let the Laj's of this world win anymore. I founded a charity that fights for men's mental health, I've raised hundred's of thousands of dollars for the men of Ballarat so don't accuse me of accepting failure, I fecking eat it for brekky. Happy for any PM's from anyone in regards to my charity and foundation.

It is exactly the same reason I left this place before, then it was a key board bully maned Pass It To Carrots, this particular bully is fixated upon some perceived uninformed notion that I actually am enjoying this current debacle.  Mods I find his behaviour insulting and if you are concerned about loosing posters and members then look at the arrogance of this particular buffoon. He will now typically respond and throw some more insults.

I am getting a little tired of the condescending presumptive attitude that dominates some of the posters here, assuming that I am enjoying this distressing mess, advocating failure, not "understanding" our predicament and how we just keep going back to the well when it gets tough.

Mate we have been the media's punching bag for a decade, because of the inbreed arrogance that people like yourself demonstrate on a daily basis, that's why all the other clubs despise Carlton, we were so successful for so long, and it was based upon a fraud. And now when finally the administration wakes up to the real world, and realise that there are no more quick fixes, and that the previous administrators (I actually blame Collins and his self serving) had no idea, that we are a complete basket case who have not learnt a thing from our sins of the past, and your response is to sack the coach again.

And if another person reminds me of how he teams I mentioned are not comparable "I'll spew", its not about games won, or ladder positions, its about decisions. None of the teams, including the Dogs, were undergoing a reconstruction, they were resets. Unfortunately our team has chosen to go down a much deeper and harder option all I want is it to be given a chance to play out, what have we got to loose it's too late to top up....

Keep Bolts, sack all of his dud assistants. Bring in ex coaches to replace them, Eade, Voss, Roos..hell!! Even bring in Hird. Bolts needs better support to make him a better match day coach, he is currently surrounded by crap.

Now finally here is someone who can read my mind!!!! Never said that Bolton is our messiah, but we have been so committed to this reconstruction we simply must see it out until the end of next season, we brought in cheap foot soldiers (Mullet, Shaw, Kerridge, O'Shae etc) who have proven to be allbut useless, but what wasn't and couldn't have been anticipated was the injury list from hell, these blokes were not meant to play more than 5 or 6 games a year, but the spuds have been in every game. Someone broke a mirror, or killed a chinaman, and today was Friday the 13th!!!
