Unsociable Hawks my arse. They have always been a bunch of snipers. Only have to look at Matthews landing with both knees in Kenny Hunter's back. At least Klomp clipped him for it.

AFL Tribunal will not sit tonight, Tues July 28, after all players accepted sanctions offered by MRP from round 17 games.

We have no soul left. We have given up even defending unfair suspensions.

Interesting that the AFL says a body shot will not be suspended even if the player spends considerable time in the hands of the trainers (Cripps v GC) or leaves the ground in distress (BB), while an innocuos arm glancing the head is worth two weeks. Be great if all junior players on the weekend turn to an unsuspecting opponent and belt them in the guts, it is what the AFL is encouraging. The tribunal is a farce. If only we had anyone who could belt Gibson a few times in the last round. We wd all chip in for the fine. Alas we have no one with any mongrel

from The CEO'S desk

A quick message after the Hawthorn game last Friday night. For all at Carlton, it was hard to watch. Obviously we were comprehensively beaten by a powerful side in rare form. But we want to assure our members that we don't just wipe it and accept that sort of performance as 'part and parcel' of our development process.

Emotion aside, the game clearly demonstrated where we are at, and it showed where they are at (and of course where we want to be). We recognise that and we understand that our team is currently depleted, and that there will inevitably be some bumps along the way. But we have to learn from it and importantly ensure that those results are not taken as 'the norm'.

Clubs – and in particular players – must value every single game of AFL football. Which means we've still got an important six weeks ahead of us, especially in terms of individual responses and performances.

Briefly, the search for our new senior coach continues. After an exhaustive process of scouring lists, names, references and referrals – we have undertaken a series of preliminary interviews with potential candidates. Those preliminary discussions have centred on assessing the candidates’ 'fit' with our Club and our needs. That is, their personal qualities, experiences and their capacity to be able to specifically lead and develop.

We have been asked many times about the names of potential candidates. While a couple of other clubs have revealed their hand regarding a potential candidate coming from their ranks, it's our concrete policy that we won't talk about any names – out of respect for those people and the process.

What we can say however, is that from the 150+ currently active coaches, development coaches, and indeed ex-coaches – as well as the emerging 20 or so who we have engaged in discussions – there are several who emerge as strong candidates for our Club. We will take them through as rigorous a process as we can, and later next month should be in a position to make a call on it.

Hope to see you at the footy for the North game on Saturday night – another against a top eight team. We'll be looking for a strong on-field response – and everyone's support at the game would be appreciated and obviously very helpful.

We're officially irrelevant. It's Tuesday night and our loss/performance hasnt copped a mention on 360, on the couch or 360. They usually love sticking the boot in.

Its only when they start feeling sorry for us and start calling us their second team - then you can really start worrying. :wink:

I think I'd rather this, as opposed to coming out and kicking 8 junk time goals and showing false hope that is bought by no-one than the chequebook holders and the board members that represent them.

BV raised perspective and the Hawks drubbing of the Saints last year. The Saints copped some awful hidings in 2014 - ag Hawks 175/30, Crows 141/62 and 136/50 C'wd 140/54 and remarkably to us 151/66. So things are never quite as bad as they seem. If we draft really well and have luck we might start to turn things around over the next couple of years.

And our massive loss was to a side that beat Sydney and Freo (top 4 lock-ins) by a combined total of 27 goals the previous two weeks.

Things are going well when we're feeling better about getting smashed by less than the saints.
Benchmark club that.

What we need is our very own line in the sand game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_in_the_Sand_Match

And what better chance for it than in the final round against Hawthorn, who first dreamed it up. Inflict some serious pain on their more senior and important players and see if we can't prevent the three-peat from outside the finals ;-)

Essendon* smashed Hawthorn in their equivalent game. Not the point. You wanna stop being picked on, you pick the biggest kid in the school yard and rip into him with everything you have. 9 times out of 10 he backs off, and even if you do happen to lose nobody else goes near you.

Marc Murphy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Dylan Buckley: It jumped up a notch.
Marc Murphy: It did, didn't it?
Tom Bell: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart.
Marc Murphy: I saw that. Tom Bell killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
Tom Bell: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Marc Murphy: Tom, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.
