Hey Synbad how much would the Blues need to pay to have you coach them.

You sound like you've got it all sorted.

Your game plan sounds awesome.

Damn if we only had you in charge of this rabble we call the Carlton Footy Club we'd have to build another new cabinet to store our Prem' Cups.

You could be first man to be president and coach. Oh and could you take a grab up forward for us aswell?

Fixed.

That makes for about 15 goals a game, being conservative. The only real question mark in those figures is Waite. 40+ expected from him if we're in with a shot.

Yep, also very encouraged about the Swannies efforts v Saints.

Taking it to the nth degree:

Pies beat Crows after also running Saints to 1 point;
Crows lost to Power, Power also creamed WC at Subi (by more);
We beat Lions who pushed mighty Doggies very hard in Canberra; and
Doggies hammered Hawks.

Season over, give us the Cup now!

He had a hand in some assists too.

Hampson and Walker on a lead would be a nightmare for the oppositions. Betts and Yazz aren't slow either. Add Hoops and there is a bit of speed up forward

What a joke. I got on to this thread to read what people thought about the game and expected to see some players did this and that, would have liked to see more of such and such.

Instead it ia a rant about how the team is crap, the coach is crap, the world is crap - THIS THREAD IS CRAP!

Tell me about it, I thought there would be a bit more positivity after Fridays win.

If you hate the club so much, go and barrack for the team you do like...............

Geez........

I hope we do well this year so media, some of you and opposition supporters can "SUFFER IN YOUR JOCKS"........

Agree with regards to the first four players mentioned. If Hoops has pace he must be hiding it in his other handbag.

Fair enough. I wouldn't call him slow though

I'd call him lazy.

Brilliant work by CFC to have score updates appear very quickly on social media sites.

I'm with you Sal. Just came back to this thread after a couple of days and apparently we are the worst team ever!

I was disappointed after the Swans game but I watched the replay closely a couple of days later (without the passion) and we were not that bad! I also went to the Brisbane game and thought there was plenty to be excited about especially Henderson, Setanta and our small forwards. Backline looks very solid and settled. With Waite, Murph and Armfield to come back (and Gibbs to get out of practice match mode) I think we are looking OK.

The possession style might look untidy at times and occasionally breaks down but every team I have watched this pre-season looks the same. The rule changes have changed the look of the game (at times now looks like a rugby scrum until the 'feed' comes out). Our clearance work in both games has been as good as anyone.

Top 8 without a doubt, top 6 probably.

I hope all these negative posters will take back all the crap they are going on with when we have a good 2010 season. (and yes I will have to admit if I am wrong too .... but I am not )

They won't, because they'll expect nothing short of a GF.

We are Carlton, @#$%&! the rest !!!!!!

if there was a proper process in place for the best person to coach the club and i was part of that process.. and i won it cos i was most qualifiied.. id do it for half of what Ratts is doing it having received the job with no process.
Actually i wouldnt want a contract.. they could sack me any time if i wasnt the right man for the job.... i wouldnt force them into contracts and extentions when im not the best man to lead the club....

can i actually ask how u can make a sweeping statement like"Synbad hates Ratten"... can u expland on what your definition and context of that is???

Cos im not sure why you and on what context you made that accusation....

Do i hate him as a Carlton footballer?
A person?
Or dont believe he is the best man to coach this club???

If its c) why say it the way you said it?
If its a) or b) can u prove it???

Cos i am arguing Carlton matters.. gameplans.. structures.. capabilities..processes.. positions... etc

and some people are some people are using me as their argument to argue .... which is laughable...cos im a commentator on a forum... on what i see and feel..... but have no bearing on the goings on and the lack of gameplan.. structures and development around the footy club....

I'm glad you did. That was it's intention very much tongue in check DOA was very much hot to trot and thats understandable given how negative fansites are and how difficult it is to shift peoples views once they have a negative slant on something. I'm not sure it is wise for parents, just as it isn't for players to frequent the forums. An awful lot of vitriol and at the other extreme sucking up, which I would have thought would make it an unpleasant place to visit. DOA had every right to call me a smartarse and it would have been a fair call.

But back to business. It's going to be an expensive year for you, buying all the other teams gear and cheering on Carlton's opposition. Another thing that hasn't changed since last season is you still seemed confused as to whether you hate Ratten's lack of a gameplan or the defensive gameplan that you say doesn't exist

This thread is no longer about the game and the Synbad merry go around can move to another thread.
