I cant see a premiership before he retires unfortunately.

His contract is up at the end of 2027, by which time he will be 32. I can't see a flag in that time. I guess it depends on whether he wants to go on after that. The thought of him eking out an extra year or two somewhere else fills me with dread. Like Jarrad Waite x a googol. He is in the top 5 Carlton players of all time IMO.

Crippa, great player that he may be, is really not my idea of a captain type. Very laid back, laconic, and not the best speaker. Maybe it’s me but I find his words just don’t resonate. I may be old school but I relate more to someone like a Luke Hodge. I think Crippa freed of the captaincy would be a really great warrior for us next year and beyond.

Agree. Speaks much better than Brad Lloyd who is our Football Manager.
That interview he gave after the Port game was a train wreck.

Lloyd is not a good speaker but the words and sentiments were quite honest and correct IMO.

Sorry, don't agree Paul. He rambled on and wasn't convincing.
Just need to give short, sharp possitive answers in those situations.

We all are. There could be carnage if the Pies are in the mood.

My concern isn't really with the result. We are struggling, have made several changes etc and Collingwood are flying. My concern is the reaction to the result, that the anger, fulmination and irrationality is going to make the club jittery. That's the worrying part for those of us who are keen to see us break this cycle.

I just said to my Missus, when they win the flag this year, they go to 17 and they utterly breaks my heart.

Yep.

Carlton people don't like losing.
Carlton people REALLY don't like losing to Collingwood.

Talkback radio will blow up this week if we lose.

Whilst I tend to think Vossy's fate was sealed last week, the Prez said they wont do anything until the end of the year so he'd look pretty dumb otherwise.
