The key to understanding Carlton's fade-outs is that since Voss took over as coach no side has generated a higher share of scores from stoppages.

That's a problem because: a) stoppage set-ups are easier to shift; b) stoppages hard to win when tired; and c) rules encourage speed.

If you want to find where we went wrong over the last 20 years our response to the millennial generation would be a good place to start.

“It’s different now.”

“You can’t treat them the way we used to.”

“They’re more sensitive.”

We are the softest club in the competition.

Every single player on that list needs to be slapped in the face with a trout and told to harden up and grow a beard.

Laser removal of all wannabe tattoos.

Anyone who goes down like a Grey St lady (I’m looking at you Zac Williams) every quarter before popping up again ten minutes later can GAGF.

And if you’ve got a podcast?

@#$%&! right off!

You’re a highly paid sports professional and nobody should give a @#$%&! about what comes out of your mouth and if they do they should be lined up against a wall and shot right next to you!

So here’s the plan…

Sack Voss.

Exhume Robert Walls corpse and appoint him coach.

Tell him to give Voss a slap (actually you won’t need to tell him as he knows what to do).

Give Wallsy’s corpse full control of the footy department and recruiting.

Sit back and enjoy.

It’s not that hard.

This is a good read:
https://www.onepercenters.net.au/p/has- ... oken-footy

The problem isn’t that the game is becoming faster or more open. It’s that this outcome is being engineered by a governing body that has unilaterally decided what “good” footy should look like, and is now putting its thumb on the scale. I don’t like that. It means we’re no longer watching a game that evolves on its own terms. We’re watching one that is being steered toward a preferred aesthetic that aligns with broadcast imperatives, but not necessarily with the long-term competitive health of the sport, the interests of clubs, or, frankly, the preferences of many supporters who are already feeling disillusioned with the current AFL administration.

Nah...this has evolved over a few years. Clubs either saw it and planned accordingly, or they stuck their head in the sand and ignored it. Carlton ignored it and they're paying for it now.

Where I blame Voss, is that we have not gone out to get the right midfielders to play the modern game.
Which to me is dumbfounding as he is a midfielder who played alongside players like Black and Aker.
That is why I am not sure if he has actually got full autonomy on the playing list.

Interesting listening to David Rhys-Jones on a podcast claiming that all the players undermining (or those that lost faith in) Voss last year are gone, bar one... and he's gone quiet. Gov, Elijah???

Now he didn't name names but you would think he has some good inside mail.

Also said most of the older senior players are right behind the coach, which makes you wonder what sakcing him would do to the psyche of this group.

FMD we're a mess...

yep. then look at a team like the dogs, or even the pies, who built their lists around it.


i can't count suns, swans or lions in this, bcos they are gifted so many allowances that it's nearly impossible for them to get their lists wrong.

couldn't be gov or elijah, they were among the easiest to get rid of this offseason gone.


based on their play i say it's weitering - he is perpetually unhappy out there. there is no way coaching is telling him to leave his man so much. tries to mark when he needs to spoil etc

imo just a procession of coach killing decisions by him this season so far.

This bloke should go into politics post footy. Absolute spin doctor, king of dodging questions and saying a lot without saying anything at all. Pure gaslighter.

Holy @#$%&!

Very prompt response Doc…

apologies in advance... this could be a long one

footy on 9 with bartel breaking down our stoppages.

we send everyone to the contest, and then if we win it, we slam it onto the foot and blindly hoof it as far as we can. completely bypassing every player we've sent, and handing over the ball and the advantage to the oppo. so, basically we set up to handball out of trouble only to panic and slam it down field before we can get tackled.

it's been happening forever. do you blame the coaches for not drilling the players, and not holding them accountable (by dropping/ penalising/ giving them the hair dryer in front of the group etc) to standards? or do you blame the players for doing what they want and ignoring instructions?

also. with volkano - damning footage of cripps in preseason on triple M with daisy and brownless laughing it up about the footage of us spraying balls far and wide and missing targets and dropping uncontested chest marks.

and then parallel footage against dees in the final term of us doing the same. effectively playing the way we train.

so when we're not training hungry. or seriously. is that coaches or players?

for mine; coaches are allowing it. they are the driver of standards and instilling belief. and none of the turds at our club are doing either.



two things i heard on the grapevine fwiw.

cripps after his brownlow/s was allowed to have tactical say in our setups and personnel, particularly our mids and stoppages and Front Office and other powerbrokers at the club empowered him to do so - effectively tying voss's hands on certain strategic matters

the meddling from FO into our coaching and S & C has been there since the 90's and hasn't ever diluted. we all know this by now - hiring coaches, and then tying their hands together? how could that be successful, ever? culturally how do you attract a winning mindset from outside, when every level of coaching and fitness is being micro-managed by others above you?

previous coaches have talked about this, and we've shouted them down as sour grapes. that should stop with the ending of voss. we need to be holding the higher ups for more accountability and less meddling. IMHO.

josh fraser would take over from voss as early as this saturday, if good friday is a total shambles.

And what has Josh Fraser demonstrated to show he would be better? Is our forward line playing any better, Braithy? We can't just jump at someone because they're available. Harry and Kemp refuse to lead and prefer to hang out the back looking for the easy ball.
The game has changed but the fundamentals haven't. Forward handball and high metres gained by hand only come from winning the ball.
The formula of contested footy and controlling the stoppage is still a key. Jack Steele was interviewed after the game and the Demons had written on their board at half time how Carlton have been losing the contest and the scoreboard after half time. They're tied together. If you have the ball, the opposition don't.

In the first quarter we outscored Melbourne 5.0 to zero from stoppage. Because we won the ball and controlled it. We had 22 inside 50's to 5 and took 8 marks inside 50. Cripps had 5 clearances in a quarter.

Even at half time we led centre clearances 6-1 and stoppage clearances 15-12. Contested possessions we led 71-62 and Cripps had 7 clearances and we led by 34 points.

What changed and what has consistently changed? We proceed to lose the contest and the clearances. In first halves this year we've won the contested possessions by an average of 20 per game. We've led each game easily. In the second half we lose it by an average of 6 and we fall to pieces.
Look at this match. We have centre bounce stoppage ascendancy in the first half (6-1) and dominate the match. In the second half Melbourne win the centre clearances 10-5, stoppage clearances 17-14 and we lose the contested possessions. It's the same in every game.
Clubs are not beating us by being different, they're beating us at our own game.

When we control the stoppages and the centre bounce, we have forward metres gained by handball as good as anyone. But we can't sustain it. Why? How can Patrick Cripps have 7 clearances at half time and only 2 more for the match? He's not a good enough player that we can carry him in other roles.

Yes our midfield is slow but it has its strength. There isn't a logical reason why we stop at half time other than its in the players heads. The strategy works well when the players commit to it. Massive first half leads show that. But it stops dead.
It can't be fitness. There's very little in difference between AFL teams IMO. Some posters say it's taxing game plan. It's no more taxing than the opposition chasing arse in the first half. When it's all said and done, it's 4 players v 4 players in centre bounces. There's little strategy, no extra numbers, it's one on one. Talent V talent.
And for whatever reason our players are superman for the first 45 minutes and become impotent head cases after that.

Not having a decent second ruck doesn't help. HOK is a liability in the 3rd quarter and Reidy hasn't shown himself to be much better. We need an ultra aggressive big man ASAP. I think we're seeing why Agresta was moved on and why Austin might be on thin ice. To have no decent second ruck, no decent 2nd key defender and no decent 2nd tall forward (or No.1 tall forward) with virtually zero injuries is a massive concern.

IMHO, the system works. We need a psychologist more than a coach.

Austin seems to have somehow escaped criticism from many (not all).

Not from me he hasn't.
Destroyed this list.

I was at the GWS game in 2024 where it all started. I said to Bondi and Sinbagger if we don't win the flag in 2024 we are screwed for the next 5 to 10 years as there was zero in the reserves knocking on the door.

Situation hasn't changed much

Anyhow Effes , we as yet event replaced Agresta . Bit odd that . What's the delay ? is McKenzie ( Hawks ) having second thoughts ?
McKenzie is a Northern suburbs boy and at one time played for our Magoo's I believe .
