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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
