His career is over. Again lol.

Yep and so it should be.

Shows how brain dead our coaches are to not notice. Fans from level 4, eating a pie having a beer - were talking about after the warm up. :o

HTF did it take to late in the last quarter from them to think maybe there is an issue here.

How disconnected is this club and i dont mean the players

OUT: N. Haynes (AFL), D. Hogg (injured), W. Cookson, T. Evans, L. Prout, J. Sammartino (omitted)

[1] With Lord named on the bench, I think he probably won't play. If he plays, it will be on managed minutes.
[2] I know I've been carping on about this, but we seriously lack key position players out there. Collingwood don't have that much, but they have more than we do.
[3] With the talent we supposedly have out there, we should not be losing. Not even thinking about it. We have 20 AFL listed players named! But, we haven't won a game yet.

Looks like it was a mental health issue. Heart rate very elevated throughput the game, sleeping an issue. Looks like one issue we have to be sensitive the way we approach it. Looks like it's a real issue. Not sure if he is manic/depressive and we got a manic episode last night. As I said,  I remember Rhett Baynes.

To the winner the spoils.

Contrast the commentary about Elliott missing goals for the first 3 Qtrs with that of Harry.

btw., As bad as some of the shots at goal might be, the horrendous missing of targets in open play is even worse, but it's not just Carlton doing this in 2026. Games in general are more like episodes of The Keystone Cops than football.

The thing that differentiates us is not the poor skills, we are the same or equal of the rest, it's that a lack of leg speed / closing speed prevents recovering from the initial error, and it also hinders our ability to take a toll on the opposition's errors. Our list needs to be better skilled just to be equal because we have less time and space.

Team mates didn't want a bar of him after the match.
As portrayed by who, the media, the coach, did you ask them?

Didn't Bolton tell you need to become comfortable being uncomfortable?

If we as a team can't deal with this in a serious and respectful manner, show some care and respect for someone besides you in the trenches, how do you seriously expect any of them to deal with the public pressure of AFL?
