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).

Fmd.

Like we've been any better?

Load of bs.

So? I'm quite happy to sit in my glass house and throw stones in this case.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
