It's pretty obvious we aren't going to win another game this year and are now heading for a juicy No 1 draft pick (3 in 3 years - awesome!)

This is such a certainty I know what I'll be doing

I am gonna bet against us every week and make some cash.

a +39 BET IS A GOOD THING when you are tipping against the Blues (except against Melbourne...we might get a little closer than that...maybe just a 5 goal loss.)
Let's see Carl vs St Kilda. Hmm we'll do excatly what we did against the Lions yesterday and leave a nice open fwd line for the G train to lead into and he'll have a season best game against us (tho if I remember correctly it would top his 6 goals against us earlier this year). And we'll play little Milne into some form. And of course the Saitns AWESOME ruck division will have a big day out against Kennedy and ahhh won't even bother mentioning his name.

Hell we should organise a Talking Carlton punting money pot so that proceedings can go into a place where people care and give a damn.

See you in the millionaires club

From the title I thought you were going to tell us that we had appointed Stanley Kubrick as posthumus caretaker coach :-D

Can you get an "all-up" bet that will roll over for the next six weeks?
Give us some real interest?

Funny enough, I wanted to place a bet on Friday Carlton to lose every game for the remiander, backed into Richmond losing every game for the remainder.... No takers.

Nah sorry boys..............i'm sick of this tanking bullshit!

These kids, our future, need SOMETHING positive to take into the 08' season and i can't see how not winning a game is gonna provide that for them.

We need to restore self-belief in players such as Waite, Walker & Murphy who clearly look like they have lost faith in themselves and their surroundings.

I'm sick and tired always looking for a #1 draft pick to be our saviour.

Sure, Kruzer is good but he's not worth loosing games for, even if those games are pointless dead-rubber wins anyway!

If we win a few more, we'll still probably finish 3rd last and end up with pick 3 anyway. And if we get a Cotchin, Masten or Grimes or Palmer with that pick i'll be happy with that.
We could pick up a Bellchambers or McEvoy with our 2nd pick.

Aisakie will be our #1 ruckman soon enough anyway, i have faith in that.

These kids need some good hard & BELIEVABLE footy.

Sack Pagan, Install Ratten, get some wins & some god-damn belief!

Far more important to me than another #1 draft pick.

ryan2000 - I agree with you wholeheartedly.

But I think Electric Blue's failed foray into backing Carlton to lose every game will show you that we will lose every game.

I also think it shows that the AFL have got to change the system so that even if we are a junk footy team, the Carlton Football Club will want to win games and not plan for the future by losing.

I think it would be great if we won the last 6 games of the year.

But it's not going to happen. We will lose every game and I plan to make some dollars.

yeehaa!
