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 :)

I think their hovecraft is full of eels.

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

whats the odds of a chemist coming 'onboard', to heal all they're ills, from trying to digest far too much brown papyrus ? :lol:

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).

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
