Nah, I hate being 5 and 7. But I enjoy wins. Especially against Essendon***.
And I won't let your lemon sucking view on life drag me down. A win against the filthy Bummers will be better than a loss until the day I die. :thumbsup:


What’s so special about beating Essendon** Collingwood compared to other teams
It’s 2025
We arnt in the VFL anymore
We have had a draft for 38 years
We have had a salary cap for 38 years
Out of all the Victorian clubs we are the ones who have adapted the worst
The way it is to me is have we learnt from our mistakes
No we haven’t
Last nights win was meaningless to a large extent
It’s what the club does at the end of the season
Because the rebuild and I use that term loosely hasn’t worked

The worse we are, the more enjoyable the wins are.

When we win a flag I won't be sulking that we should have one five since our last one.

its was a win ... and there isnt much more to say about it ..

.....................

but my biggest issue is

Curnow

There was a moment in the last, where he just didnt commit. not even half a commit. no pressure what so ever.

for mine, that was the worst act of the night by Carlton,

............


For commitment he's definitely our laziest player by far.
Gives up too easily, won't chase ..... just frusrating to watch

It’s pretty clear reading the posts about the demise of Talking Carlton that people still are extremely passionate about the CFC
So beating an arch rival is great for some
I get that
But I also feels it’s a bit of nostalgia going on
All I care about is is number 17
Nothing else
I have given plenty of solutions to the problems and reasons why we have played one preliminary final in 25 years in an era of equalization
So very quickly
Have a board that isn’t made up of empty suits from the top end of town
Preferably a woman as president
Have a coaching staff that compliments
In an organization get a decent List Management
Doesn’t have to have connections to a Carlton past
No large long term deals
No rejects former AfL hack's
Lower leagues have aplenty of potential foot soldiers
Don’t sell the farm for anyone
Good teams do this
Why can’t we
List management is the most important part of a club
No socks can’t pull them up

it's great we won. beating the bummers is as good as it gets for me.

however, it's not great we've shown little if any improvement since round 1 this season. fly out the blocks and then get slowly run down by a far inferior team/ list.

the drug cheats would not have beaten any afl side last with their injury list, much the same way richmond wouldn't have beaten any other team outside us in round 1. so alarm bells.


enjoy the win, for sure. did it ease overall concerns about this season, and more importantly where this team currently constructed and coached is headed?

defs not.

Very Disappointed with the Win because it keeps our season alive and continues to give the supporters a False Sense of security and Hope!

I would have prefered that our Season is done so we can start rebuilding and bringing the kids in....


The way we played last night showed Yet again that we have learned nothing and we have improved on Nothing! Same old Story, everyone is sick and tired of pointing out the same mistakes again and again!


Its either these players have stopped playing for VOSS all together or they are simply not good enough!


Our Season will officially end in 3 weeks time when we play Port away... They will Thump us by 10 Goals and get their Season Going ( That's provided we can beat WC & Kangaroos )

Could you do us a favour and click on a few banner ads, champ?

It’d be good to get some sort of value out of you.

Keogh this is where you miss the plot.

I am not happy with where the club is at. I'm not happy about 50% of the game. Like every supporter, I am massively disappointed that we are often 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.

I hate that the Club can't take that next step. I am frustrated that the grass is always greener somewhere else. I am bewildered that we compete so strongly in so many important areas of the game, only to miss that 30 metre pass inside 50.

I am frustrated that a lad like Jagga Smith misses the start of his AFL career. I despair at the lack of intensity shown by some players. I despair that injuries happen at the worst time.

An AFL club is a massive beast. Probably 250+ people all trying to make something great happen. It takes talent, resiliency and alot of good old-fashioned luck over a 5 year period. When a part misses, other parts struggle.

Voss said 6 weeks ago O'Keefe was a mile off. He mentioned several strong conversations were had and then woosh. Things clicked and he was a highlight for the Bombers game. Who saw that coming. Maybe Lemmy might be the next one to click. Fingers Crossed.

Ben Campo has 30 in the VFL for a BOG. Is he ready?

Cinc comes back from injury and does a number on Merrett. If Cinc is not there to do that job do we win? Mmmmmmm.

We are actually not an average team. We have average moments and some average skills have led to disappointing losses.
This team beat Geelong, who are now considered GF contenders. We were neck and neck with the Pies 10 minutes into the 3rd quarter. Another GF contender. We are 10% off being a very solid team.

But everytime you and others post, I think..................Don't give me your problems, give me your solutions.

You want to tear the entire place to the ground. Sack everyone. All that would do is make us the next North Melbourne.
I can tell you this......Playing 4 or 5, skinny 18-19 year olds, is not going to make it any better.

So maybe those sitting comfortably on the couch could lay out a complete Plan for CFC over the next 3-4 years.

I would rather sit here on a Monday knowing we beat the Bombers and played poorly at times than having lost to the arch enemy. The win hasn't made me see rainbows and unicorns but I did see some light at the end of the tunnel in the 1st Quarter and some determination and grit at the very end. It is always Glass half full - I'm strange that way.

Regards Cazzesman


This is an excellent post Cazzesman and pretty much sums up my general feelings.

I so desperately want us to be a true power club again, not just off field, that I’m guilty of letting my disappointment with our on field performances get the better of me at times.

Easier said than done but I believe the most critical thing ‘the club’ can do is truly diagnose the reasons for our on field shortcomings. It is more coaching/game plan or personnel (to keep it simple). I’m hoping Wright is doing this being a fresh set of eyes who knows what modern success looks like and then implements the necessary changes.

I don’t think it’s controversial to say that we should be way better than what we are.

Trade McKay pay half his salary
DeKoning can go
O’Keefe will be good
Get another back up ruckman from lower leagues
Big Guys take time
Need mongrel
McKay has zero mongrel
I would trade Cripps as well
That’s 4 picks in top 10
Try and get Miles Bergman with one pick
Not 2 play hard bargain at the draft
If you can’t get a trade use picks on kids
Start again
Add Jagga Smith
That’s something to build on
Frees up salary cap space
Will provide more depth
In hindsight keep Walsh make him
Captain but pay him less
No more ridiculous overpaid contracts to anyone
Geelong does this Why not us
No more recycled trash from other AFL clubs
Picking Fantasia who should not be on our list
He exceeded my expectations Blue Vain by 2 possessions
He had 5 yep great selection
Plenty of lower aged20 year olds in lower leagues who can be contributors to depth and senior team
Again look at Geelong
Humpries Atkins Stewart Mannagh Dempsey
It isn’t rocket science
Some guys mature later
Have everyone whoever is on the List Management team take a pay cut
If they say no piss off will get another group in
Maybe a female why not
Couldn’t do any worse than SOS or Austin
Employ one person for each state to watch the lower leagues
Our record in getting mature talent for a bag of chips is shit compared to
Other clubs
Not just talking about Cincotta who was a VFL ( Carlton player)
Have a female presiding over the club with people on the board who have been successful in business but not just about making money at the top end of town
Priestly at least doesn’t flop his cock out but hey he still is your carbon copy Carlton President
Oh make sure the female president lives all the time in Melbourne
Piss off McGovern at the end of the year
Williams 2026
That enough

So now I have answered your question let me ask you
Particularly given you are no longer employed by the club

Has the club set itself up for at least a grand Final spot
And how important is it to look long term as opposed to to one win against anyone close to you on the ladder half way throughout the season
Because I get the feeling you and Blue Vain have lost the plot
You should be over your sugar hit
It’s 4.20 EST
Because I don’t think you guys understand how frustrated some supporters are that this win is just pre longing the inevitablfalling off the cliff
C’mon guys convince me and Do Do
Oh just as a side note
Dannyboy enjoy your conversation with your Essendon* mates
Sounds like I wouldn’t fit in
I actually prefer talking to women when it comes to the art of conversation
They seem to have a broader view of the world

Back to football….

History, is as good as making history.
We got an extra W against our most hated team iand moved the stats sheets.
Historical win. A win that keeps our season alive with a belief more Ws are to come.

I love footy at all levels but nothing matches the level my competeive juices reach when watching footy and having a team to barrack for, because I love the game. When Carlton plays Effendopes, Colliwobbles, and the Toothless my juices are at fever pitch. Why? I love the orgasm when Carlton beats those teams. It’s worth the mess.

We beat the Druggies.

Like that pommy commentator in the VFL yesterday said Carlton love beating Effendopes in the AFL, VFL and AFLW.
It matters.

When we were at our lowest, we caused some huge upsets and some unforgettable wins against this mob.

It’s important. Thanks for the win Blueboys. Two wins yesterday in AFL and VFL against our arch enemy. Can’t ask more than that.

The win isn’t a memorable one, other than the W and the satisfaction that comes from winning. Moving forward IMO we need to play more than 2 quarters and rotating our midfield group more often is a way we can fix that. Straight kicking would have given ourselves a minute rest, as ihappened in the first with 7 CB breaks. We can get better.

Keogh, you have answered nothing. You have just rambled on as always with wishful thinking and throwaway lines that mean SFA. So you want to trade Harry, Cripps and TDK, make Walsh the Capt (you decided not to trade him) and then want to ask him to take a pay cut for the honor of doing so. Then you want to go to the draft and replace Harry and Crippa. You are happy to let TDK go because after 1 game from 20 yr old, you have decided O'Keefe can replace him.

What sort of pickings do you think there are in the draft over the next few years. If Tassie comes in, the draft will be decimated. Many of the best players are also tied to Clubs via various means.

Unless you are deep in the inner sanctum, the whys and wherefores of what is or isn't going on is 100% speculation.

I'm pretty sure the current President has nothing to do with our onfield performance. Financially, the Club is flying, so job done there.

Most observers seem happy with Jagga, the 2 Campo's and O'Farrell. So that is encouraging.

I didn't need a sugar hit but I am certainly happier today having won.

Maybe if you joined a women's bridge club, you could have the conversations you so desire.

Regards Cazzesman

They do
Most do
I’m sure you have some people that don’t like you either
I’m actually a good listener
One of my ex teacher mates taught at Glenroy
I guess your implying you come from a working class background or something
Anyway it ain’t much of a stupid @#$%&! post

Do you think the club has progressed in the last 10 years
Why is it that a club like Geelong continues to be successful
And we don’t
Not that idiotic a question
By the way you started it :razz:

I actually prefer talking to women when it comes to the art of conversation
They seem to have a broader view of the world


Keogh, you have answered nothing. You have just rambled on as always with wishful thinking and throwaway lines that mean SFA. So you want to trade Harry, Cripps and TDK, make Walsh the Capt (you decided not to trade him) and then want to ask him to take a pay cut for the honor of doing so. Then you want to go to the draft and replace Harry and Crippa. You are happy to let TDK go because after 1 game from 20 yr old, you have decided O'Keefe can replace him.

What sort of pickings do you think there are in the draft over the next few years. If Tassie comes in, the draft will be decimated. Many of the best players are also tied to Clubs via various means.

Unless you are deep in the inner sanctum, the whys and wherefores of what is or isn't going on is 100% speculation.

I'm pretty sure the current President has nothing to do with our onfield performance. Financially, the Club is flying, so job done there.

Most observers seem happy with Jagga, the 2 Campo's and O'Farrell. So that is encouraging.

I didn't need a sugar hit but I am certainly happier today having won.

Maybe if you joined a women's bridge club, you could have the conversations you so desire.

Regards Cazzesman

You always trott out the inner sanctum line
I agree there are some good kids
The financial side of things I’m not worried that

But I’m dead set against paying players big money and long contracts
Geelong have a far greater even spread of salary
We don’t and that effects are depth
The biggest concern for me is our recruiting
I’m not ranting and raving
How often does Geelong find players like Lawson Humpries
How is it that Geelong have never bottomed out in over two decades

Anyway we agree to disagree about most things
I assume we all agree we want number 17
But it won’t happen unless significant change happens to the list and the club changes its strategy on List Management
It hasn’t for 20 years
Nothing wrong in women running the show either
That’s my personal experience in
my time in the workplace

Give me a timeline on a Grand Final appearance?
The splinters must be digging well and truly in your bum by now
