I don't find these funny any longer. I'm sick of being the joke of the AFL and everyone within the club just brushing these things off.

We had 17 AFL listed players that limped over the line in the reserves yesterday.
Not one of them put their hand up and screamed pick me

Why would they Voss has he’s favourites they know that they won’t be given a go in the AFL

Butchers holiday on Friday in Brizzy will make it even harder for us.
They are giving Harry no chance to find a heart.

I wasn’t at the ground last night.
Is Harry moving around at all or just standing and raising his arm, Charlie style?

Can only get a mark and kick when he’s leading hard. Took a couple marks around the wing leading hard.

97% Game Time. 5 Marks. Two bad misses for goal. FMD. He’s not trying.

None really.

Hewett for Cripps would send a strong message before Vossy gets sacked.
Vossy has to change things up. He has to look like he’s trying too.

18-20yo Walker, Wilson, Ison, Moir, OKeefe, Byrne, Charleson are the future, but like you said, not for now.
Nothing for now from Austin. They are 2-3 years away from standing up for themselves.

Oh my, and compromised drafts start in 2027.

We already are expecting 4 kids to carry us in 2 halves: Dean, Carroll, Ollie, Cowan, It doesn’t work. What are the seniors doing? They should be protecting the kids not the other way around.

Austin didn’t replace senior players he discarded over the years, and we are paying for it now.

You were right SB.

Brizzy fans will be bringing their dogs to the game for Carlton.
Doing it as a sense of charity.
That way they can have a lead to hold onto play in the 2 nd half.

Brizzy fans have been warned not to give their dog leads to the Carlton players the lead in first half, or there will be a lot of lost dogs around the Gabba on Friday night.

I feel your pain Surrey.

You either sink in anger or look at the funny side.
We deserve everything that comes our way.

We didn’t build around Judd.
SOS stripped back the list too hard and didn’t recruit hard nuts and leaders.
Covid cost us our CHB, Jones, and Austin never replaced him. Cost us in 23.
Austin hasnt added class to the Spine of Charlie Harry TDK & Weiters.
Now we are spineless.

I can’t see how this can be turned around if we keep doing the same thing week in week out since 24.

If Voss expects the same group play the same roles, we will keep losing.

Ive tapped out. I’m convinced after last night’s line in the sand, 2026 is gone. I don’t want the kids thrown to the lions…pardon the pun. I thought we got our list to the stage we can develop kids in the VFL, like Cats Swans and other teams do.

If Cowan is out injured, Wilson comes in.
Boyd is trying but he’s past his best imo.

Reidy is a fkn passenger.
Watched TDK embarrass our club.
Get rid of him. Lucky his contract expires end of 2027.
Prefer Lewis Young!!!!! Or Harry in ruck.
WTF happened to Pitto in the ruck?
Obviously played injured or let TDK and Marshall have their way.

Mobile forwardline.
Targets Gov Kemp Cripps ( I know he’s not mobile, but competes on the floor.
Harry in the ruck, or CHB
He deflates the team with his shots at goal missing on the Casboult level.

WTF is Haywards role.
It’s not working Vossy. Get creative.
Get him involved.

Too many players running from forwardline to backline like headless chooks.
I get they fill holes, but the oppo is kicking 6-12 goals a quarter…so it’s not working.
Curious how many kms Hayward, Cottrell, Ollie, Carroll run and what they have to show for it.

Time out for Cripps in midfield. FMD. Selfish. Past his peak.
Hewett Walsh Ainsworth in middle.
Williams, Lord, Smith Cerra can wax.

What were the injuries to Dean & Cowan?

Cowan a head knock but passed the concussion test

Dean groin, and I think he escaped suspension for Hill push ( edit: yep, 1000-1500 fine)

No mention of Cottrell after media campaign to get him done for taunting, I've no idea what penalties are available (hopefully no more than fifty bucks, what a load of shite)

We have the slowest thinking players in the league or the most insecure

Back in the day, the Board (and Carltonians) was made up largely of very successful people who were keen to lend their expertise and networks and influence to make Carlton the great team we became.
More recently, it is made up largely of people who want to use the Board and it’s ‘status’ to further their own success and networks.

I may be wrong on the timing but I feel like the big change occurred around the time Ian Collins took an over and moved us to Docklands. Yes, Elliot and co were stuck in the old ways but I never doubted their passion and commitment to Carlton first and foremost.

I worked at the Optus shop that used to be on Keilor Road when I was at Uni.

One day, Diesel comes in because his phone was playing up.

I explained I just needed to replace his sim card and everything should be fine. He looked at me like I had three heads.

I figured, ok, he's not a tech person. No problem.

But I'm watching him as I'm making the change on the computer and he was off with the fairies.

Then when I gave him his phone back, he looked at it, then looked at me, almost as if he was surprised. It was very strange.

Then I heard he was having memory issues a while later, and it all made sense.

This was over 15 years ago, so I can't imagine his brain is in better shape now than it was back then. :shrugs:

Ditch the zone defence.
A lot of teams are reverting to a man on man defensive structure and moving away from zones. The Saints largely employed it Saturday night.
The problem with zone defences is it gives players a chance to be lazy and unaccountable. And we've got more than our share who like to exploit it.
When is the last time you saw Weitering spoil a leading player outside defensive 50? He just doubles back and makes it someone else's problem. Compare that to a Harris Andrews or Sam Collins. It's their opponent and they want to beat them.

Same with our midfielders and rucks. Twice on Saturday Pittonet filled space whilst his opponent took an easy mark within 30m of goal.
We make it far too easy for our players to hide in the bludge zone. "I'll just stand here, you pick up my player". Our captain excels at it.
@#$%&! that. Let's see some accountability. And let's see some expectation and demand of standards within the playing group. If Cripps tries to take on 3 players when there is a clear handball option, I don't want players going up, giving him a pat on the back and telling him it's OK. Tell him its @#$%&! selfish and to stop trying to be a hero.
Same with Harry Dean. I love him as a player but giving away a double goal at a crucial stage is bullshit. It's no different to him trying to take a hanger a couple of weeks ago and giving away a free. He had no recriminations last time so why change? Its playing for your own glory or to satisfy your personal frustrations.
Whilst we accept these standards for not wanting to upset people, nothing changes.

Collins sold us out...or his employer through him under the bus as collateral damage. Collins remained friends with the AFL Commissioners. He knew which side his bread was buttered. Sold out and shafted.

We have never recovered since we imploded, and went full on cannibalising till we were nothing.

Evans and Demetriou knew how to Divide and conquer Carlton. They abused their power, but got the result they wanted.

We will be back....just not this year.
