No more bullshit talk about being premiership favorites
No more feel good articles in the paper, it just never stopped this week


Why can't the players handle it? They haven't been able to consistently win as yet and we won't win a premiership until they can.

Fletcher being lauded for doing anything. ie deliberate out of bounds, fumbling out of bounds etc

Thank you!!!! Bombers fan pop out of toilet cubicles to applaud Dustin for hittng the bowl. Seriously, enough is enough.

Brock Mclean use by date 2008. Thanks for coming but not up to it. Full stop, period, it's over.

Go back to the Bullants and pick up 6533 possessions. Who cares?

The biggest negative is dropping another game we should be winning to stamp ourselves as a serious footy team
You can beat you tigers and lions and a collingwood in disaray.. but if you dont follow it up with a win against an average Essendon*.. youre back to square one.

So this week we go to Perth in a situation that should we lose that game.. were middle of the road after 5 .

In other word average!

So we better bounce back and get ourselves back on course again.

These kinds of games kill you!!

Supporters dont need to ski up or down... the team does.

Supporters reflect

But sycophants are always out there with their BULL horn..... filling recipe books on how to turn shit into strawberry jam.

Did you pick Essendon* in a trot???

Its what an honest man would ask himself to be seen as credible....

Well did you believe Essendon* would roll us over easily???

Not show up when it's raining to show us you're a great judge again.

Rolled over us easy suits your mindset and agenda.

Complancecy x 100 the boys played like they believed the media hype, and all they had to do was turn up. Showed signs of mental fragility, which should be past history. Not good enough for a team that should be aspiring for a top 4 spot at a minimum. Very very very disappointed.

Totally agree. It was nothing to do with talent, bottom 7, it was intensity, thinking the game was won before it started. Good reminder that hard work got us here, harder work gets top 4.

Calling me out for my appeance and non appearance???

No if youre doing that and you have a teachers roll... youre pretty sad!!.. seriously...

Do you REALLY BELIEVE that people MUST check in here for your "calling out"?

Second.. what i do and dont do ... specifically has no relvance to this topic...

Youre getting weirder and weirder if i may say so......

Now what do you have to add to this topic......????

anything???

Except being the town crier about who is and who isnt in attendance on Talking Carlton...

Hear ye... hear ye...

You remind me alot of Mrs Mangle :roll:

I hope youre older than 16 for your sake and for mine.. cos i really dont wanna be arguing with a kid.. and youre beginning to remind me of a 14 yr old chick outside boy band new dimmensions hotel lobby....

Get a grip and dont worry about what im doing... concentrate on the performance today... focus Kouta...!!
Its a footy site...

Seriously.. "calling me out" on my attendance is strange behaviour... and admtting thats what you do is akin to telling people you like to wear red frilly underwear... we dont care... no one cares!!!
Just ease off the stupidity tiger!!!

He was here in the first two rounds, and has said he was twice celebrating Easter the last two. There's your answer thanks.

The ones conning the loudest I didn't notice your concerns pre game about likely match ups issues. Just hindsight drivel.

We lost, let's not slash are wrists just yet.

Yeah, not bereft of talent to beat Essendon* when we turn up but that mightn't be the case with the very best sides. One day we will have ticked off all the possibilities that could account for losing and there will be none left. What do we do after that - turn that list upside down and start again?

It's easier for me to think that there are number of things that can be worked on than push for a miracle regarding one single thing that may prove impossible to reverse.

In other words, it's not a pack of sturdy lion-hearts we have assembled but rather a motley assortment that need all the advantage they can get.

Pros - At the start of the year, how many of us would have marked us down to beat Collingwood?

We're 3-1. Pretty much where most of us saw us ideally at this point..

Pros
I had to leave early due to a prior commitment (but felt like a flog doing so as it was when were were 7 goals down or something).

Cons
Haven't been this embarrassed since that second game against the Filth in 2010
Have to put up with their wankstain supporters and media bangwagoners
Injuries added salt to the wound
Umpiring was predictably shit and we couldn't take a trick
Waite played the worst game I've seen in a while.

Pros: Thanks Carlton for showing us that you are really not the 'real deal' and merely making up the numbers of those outside the top 4 and hence I wont have to spend the rest of the year with a deluded sense of us having any real ability to challenge

Cons: There is absolutely no excuse available to Carlton for losing to this mob. How can they let themselves be overtaken by this pathetic scum club?!!? Makes me feel sick in the guts
