Carlton Supporters Club

There was one guy who was absolutely gushing about how good collingwood were, and I found myself looking at him, and wondering who he was there to support and found myself checking his beanie and club logo multiple times to double check.  Also, hearing frustrated fans line up our cheer squad was something else that I thought was quite poor.

Coaches' votes :

10 Darcy Moore (COLL)
8 Josh Daicos (COLL)
6 Brody Mihocek (COLL)
4 Scott Pendlebury (COLL)
1 Jordan De Goey (COLL)
1 Steele Sidebottom (COLL)

Ouch.

For the first time this season I have nothing to complain about, the coaches didn't miss a beat!

I'm pretty sure that Charlie had made  lead to about the 45 and was clear but was ignored.

Acres was burnt twice at least, he ran into the F50 and was standing on his own waving and he was ignored in favour of Charlie or Harry outnumbered. Again, poor decision making with that last kick. Moore and Co feasted on the incoming ball because they knew where it was going every time. I know we say the smalls and mids dont kick enough goals but FFS give them a look at least.

What you are seeing are guys who have been listening too much to the media, and as a result they are starting to play selfish footy trying in vein to preserve their own careers. None of the stragglers want to be tagged as the player who burns either Coleman Medallist, so they do what the media and court of public opinion asks, whether it's good for the team or not!

Maybe our cunning plan was to pump up the Filth's tyres so as to set them up to fall?

I'll be far more upset if we fail to hurt CheatsFC than losing to the Filth.

btw., It might be time to gloat. But some of you may recall I posted worriedly about the AFL changes to rules that were almost designed to counter the list we've built. What hope do recruiters and list managers have, when you build a list for one game style and it's ruled out by the Big House with just a few carefully chosen tweaks?

If we ignore games against Wet Toast, is scoring up or down for 2023 compared to 2022?

I thought you gave up the tin foil hats?

Thats about your biggest one yet.

It doesn't matter which team it is, when you continually change the rules you have to hurt some and advantage others.

For example, last season we made the most effective use of the Stand Rule, I doubt you would have heard us complain about it, but it was basically kyboshed because I think it was De Goey who got sucked in by Doc and the AFL Media went into uproar!

We've got a Midfield built on big bodied Mids who are now all scared to tackle, we can't tackle yet opposition defenders can keep punching BigH in the side of the head reprisal free!

We've got a young ruck who is a jumping jack, he can get his knee in the opponents chest, so the spuds who can't jump or are afraid to jump complained and complained and his action is now outlawed!

Last season was the best season of all round AFL football and scoring we've had for decades, why change anything, they changed a bunch of rules to cater for dick3ads?

So the Blues win the first possession more than nearly every other team but can’t turn it into a clearance.

From the Heraldsun

So here is the weirdest stat in footy. Carlton ranks No. 1 in the comp for contested possession differential but only 11th for clearance differential.

The Blues are third in the comp for winning first possession from a stoppage but are 16th from converting it into a pure clearance.

So the Blues win the first possession more than nearly every other team but can’t turn it into a clearance.

I get fans think based on your posts you (@Kruddler) are a Pitto booster, but I realise what you are really doing is protecting SoJ. You need Pitto 1st rucking because if TDK plays and rests forward it won't be Cripps getting the chop from the F50 extra tall role, we can all see it coming, SoJ gets squeezed out, this is the way.

If we do what fans want and put a bullet in McGovern to keep SoJ via some weird and speculative reshuffle , we might was well shoot our own foot.

FFS, now some are calling for Weiters head, and SoJ just roles on unsupervised!

Personally I hope I'm wrong, I hope SoJ sticks fat at Carlton, comes good and enables us to rub his old man's face in it, but it's a wish not an expectation!
