If it wasn't for Silvani dreaming up  the masterplan to setup the GWS in the first 3yrs and entice 8-10 fringe GWS players to come to Carlton while he was head of their list management they would be screwed. He knew very well to have a strong healthy list for his kids to play in (3 boys) He had been in cohouts with Carlton of his plans with the proviso that his kids are all Father son selections and a healthy pay packet this was there way out of the dungeons. A once in a lifetime opportunity Carlscum,Silvani and Mike Fitspatrick have concocted.

Just back from Docklands .... left at 3/4 time.... lousy game end to end play and then ball up or intercept in the forward line.

Absolutely freezing at Docklands.... with the roof shut for a game that started at 3:20pm.

Not sure what to make of the Orange Men.... forwards not really positioning themselves or doing enough with the lead.

 

Correct.  Freezing for an indoor venue, today was no different to usual.

I was sure the umpires were trying to gift GWS the game in the last few minutes. Good thing that the AFL master plan had another little setback today.

I don't usually get complimentary about opposition clubs... But wow, I wonder if the Blues realise they've got one in Bolton. Am super impressed by how he gets what he gets out of some out-and-out spuds. Very Bevo like.

A lot on here don't rate him, not that it means much. The man can coach, yea indeedy. 

Suck a fat one GWS.

I can safely say I tipped Carlton and Bris NO Sandilands no freo and they are flat track no wet weather team (how did we manage too lose unbelievable)and Bris off the break GWS are decimated with injuries and Carl coming off a break.?

Without checking my facts I believe Carlton had 8 x top 10 draft picks running around today. 

4 pick 1's - Kreuzer, Murphy, Gibbs, Weitering 

Pick 2 - Thomas (spud now)

Pick 3 - Ploughman

Pick 6 - Marchbank

Pick 10 - Sumner

Charlie Curnow was pick 12 and Cripps 14.

That's ten players inside pick 15.  Add Simpson and Docherty and the nucleus for a decent side is there.  They need more midfield depth.

as should Derrwaane commentating any game - or even having his voice heard publicly at all

Docherty was pick 12, so better make that more than ten players inside top 15.

Wow the Hawks are 2nd last.  Awesome to witness their downfall and even better they dont have their first round pick...  but on the downside, St Kilda will have a very high pick in the draft.  Can only wish they pick a dud.

It's a bit like that, isn't it. Not a popular potential premier, the G-men.

Toby Greene missed a heap of simple goals the last 2 games. I wonder which is the real Toby Greene. His kicking was shocking early in his career. 

 

Also, if Tom McDonald wants to know what he'll look like in 20 years, Andrew McKay can show him.

How Nicholls is an AFL umpire is one of life's great mysteries. 

The upside is at least we don't get him tomorrow 'Ethan'...

At least not before us or Saints or Suns win one.

I had to work so watched the last 2 minutes on the afl website. Gee how many chances did gws have then? The ball was right in there square in the dying seconds. Good defending by carlton. Not sure what Toby Greene was thinking with that kick into the pocket that went between 2 of there players. also what was with that miss he did running into goal. He should have given the nadball over the top. 

Gosh what a strange round of results. It makes tomorrow more nerve racking.

    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
