For a while there I was able to contain it, tap my inner saint and pretend I was sympathetic to their whining fans...

but then I heard they had a hovercraft and thought "screw this! I'm going to let it out!"

I am so happy that Carlton are a rabble!

Tickled that their prospects are bleak

Giggling that their list is malformed.

I'm even amused that their hovercraft flipped on the Yarra... I mean as far as warnings of hubris at football clubs go, buying a hovercraft must be in the top ten.

Carlton board meeting "Lots to get through tonight boys... first item on the Agenda who gets first ride on our new hovercraft?"

Genius!

Love it.

    Their recruiting has been worse than ours. The list is In awful shape and the club is fractured and divided, very much reminds me of us when Bailey was sacked.

    They must make every decision a winner from now or more pain to come

    Carlton are now a well-entrenched second tier AFL team. Blame it on the boogie, blame it on Malthouse, but definitely blame it on the John Elliott culture. The relative demise of teams such as Richmond Carlton and Essendons of this world is our only hope of sneaking back into the upper echelons of this competition. Who would have thunk back in the days of the drop kick, that these teams would have won three premierships between them in their last (collective) 70 years (carlton 1995, richmond 81, essendon 2000.

    Borrowed this from rusty Nails in Stats thread -

    Ex Carlton small forwards Eddie Betts and our boy Jeffy Garlett rank in the top quartile of all small / medium forwards at No.2 and No. 25 respectively with Eddie being ranked 34th in the league overall !! Me thinks Carlton may have made a "blue" or two letting these blokes go :)

    not much they could have done about Eddie he was a free agent, and no team has matched restricted free agents.

    and they want Fitzpatrick to get their pricefixer home-ground to be used as a boutique stadium? without a station.

    Hawthorn and Geelong have supplanted them (for now).

    They had three number 1 pics from 3 spoons. We never did that.

    And I can't wait for the "see that's what you get when you tank" revisionists........

    It appears the two biggest draft manipulators end up with the two worst lists!

    There is something in that.

    Numbers attached to young boys aren't as meaningful as many thought they were.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
