AFL Rd 4 2026 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

On Good Friday. :( At least it isn't a Thursday!
We get one less day than North to prepare, which sounds like our season.
Live Long and Prosper!

I am not looking forward to this after today's capitulation. North have some talent.

A week (5 days) is a long time in footy. Expect the unexpected. The NM Ess game was terrible. We have also been terrible so we are a chance.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Lose this game and it will be Voss's last, he will not survive a loss like this.

Wont happen (sacking the coach). Every loss attention turns to our coach. My attention goes elsewhere.

An exorcist would help us way more than yet another regime change.

The entire AFL world, inside and outside the 4 walls, is perfectly aware of the 2nd half issues. If it was that easy to fix, I'm sure it would've been sorted long ago.

Agree watched that game too and it was horrible even worse than us vs the Dees which was a poor standard by both teams. We are lucky we are playing Nth who are only a little better than Essendon and who will be without Xerri.
Id expect a response after todays debacle but its probably not going to mean much given it will probably be another grinding terrible game to watch but Id like to think we are better than Nth.

A win actually means very little for us in the big picture, but a loss will spell finis for Voss.

After l was downright annoyed that we appointed this clown in the first place, I was supportive of him staying to maintain some semblence of stability....but this bloke is f.....g clueless, has shown himself to be clueless for a long time and has to go.

Following him out the door should be a heap of players who simply don't GAF. Where's any form of leadership?  JUST CRICKETS

We have a play safe mentality that allows a naturally aggressive player like Kosi to turn even our talls to submission.

This is not new, we've had it for years, the cure will be players who make the rest of our list uncomfortable.

Our situation is quite ironic given the way our coach played, he was borderline murderous in his unrelenting attack on the footy and the poor bastard is trying to coach a squad full passive aggressive.

It will be interesting to see what happens regarding Xerri, because he is one of the prime bully boys at Norp, and what a coach like Clarkson will do if Xerri is absent.

If Norf go the hammer turn it into battle of Britain the return.  It's payback time.

Line in the sand time.  If you don't like it ....off, clean out your locker and hand in ya keys

Folks are angry at where we find ourselves and the inability to prevent teams overwhelming us despite positive starts
We're going to be this weeks talking point on all forms of media. ::)  ::)
Voss's future is a legitimate discussion point but can we keep this thread for a discussion of the game ahead, our chances and potential selections and discuss the coaching in this thread highlighed below.
Just to prevent parallel discussions taking place.

Modern footballers do not have it in them and they will just pack up and leave if you tell them to bring the gloves, which is exactly what I was thinking we need but we do not have any players of that type.

You can see Clarkson slowly moulding Norp into a more brutal side, although without the skills they need at the moment, even so you could see the impact of that against the bruise free CheatsFC. It was a shizen game but at the same time never in doubt.

I'm assuming Xerri will be absent, but expect Larkey and Zuhaar to resume business as usual.

Norf think we're soft - and at least mentally we are. We do have a number of shirkers and I reckon failure to totally  commit as a footballer to the club renders you unreliable and "soft".  They're facts and opinions that people don't like but until we accept this we're going backwards.
