In the 70’s & 80’s Carlton just went to SA & WA and signed up whoever they wanted. 

A mate of mine was in charge of WA for years. Money was no obstacle

they stole Wayne Johnstone from under our nose

Yes, the paper bag days they were called, because they used to throw money at young guys and get them on their list.

This is a story some one told me about the bummers, this person told me that his brother work for ess at the time, and said that sheedy and co went to lloyd parents house when he was 16 years of age; and told them they wanted him to be at the bummers. They said they would start paying him straight away if they agreed, but to keep hush,hush; and well we know the rest.

I was gobbed smacked, i said your pulling my leg, he looked me in the eye and said no i'm not, this guy was a demon supporter who owned a shop i used to go to back in the day.

    Is it?

    I dispute that. Both lists are horrible. The Win/Loss ratio tells us

    Carlscum as a club, do not understand rules, they haven’t for 55 years. They have no idea about grooming talent. 

    Carlscum like to buy Champions and now they can’t. Bolton should run, whilst he can

    Losing Bryce Gibbs finished them off

     

    Let's put things in perspective.

    In 60 games under Bolton Carlton have had 12 x 60+ point losses.  

    Melbourne had 11 x 60+ point losses in 2013 alone.

    And their 60% is better than our 2013 percentage of 54.

    They've also had far more injuries than we had in 2013.

    Their plight is certainly not as bad as the Dees of 2013.

    Makes you wonder if they're still feeling the effects from the Chris Judd trade.

    Traded him in to bring them a premiership, but yet his groins were absolute shot. Traded out Josh Kennedy who is one of the genuine star forwards of the comp.

    I guess giving away players like Betts, Waite, Garlett, Jacobs, Robinson doesnt help either..

    It certainly seems like an odd strategy doesn't it, getting rid of every player that's ever kicked a goal for the club. Is it any wonder they're now unable to put points on the board.

    Long may Carlscum delude themselves into thinking that SOS is the Messiah, and not as is more widely accepted an appeal for help when in dire straits.  

    Let him lead them down deeper into the paths of darkness and doom..

    It will take Carlscum years to climb out of this

    Most of their senior players are nearing retirement, and their Fwd line is almost dysfunctional. 

    I enjoy seeing them suffer, and i don’t think they have hit the bottom yet. 

    Young Curnow and Cripps are the only class they have. Kruezer is almost done. Most of their list can only apply pressure for about 40 minutes, and none of it is attacking. We were similiar. 

    Brisbane are doing it right. Carlscum still don’t understand drafting, it’s against their nature.

    Yes i read that. Most depressing

    But if the 2013 MFC side played Carlscum 2018 there would be little in it

    Both appalling teams coached by Rookies

    Not too enthused by the Coach, for what it's worth. They will drop about 600 games in experience if Murphy and Simo finish, which will need to be replaced somehow.

    He's a development coach, to develop young players, whilst that club manages the list (drafting).

    - - - - - -

    Now;  what chance that Carlton entered into an agreement with the Crows last end of season, involving the Gibbs deal,  the 2018 national draft and Lukosius.

     

    Will the Crows trade picks to Carlton, for Pick 1 of the 2018 NAB draft ?

    We have a long way to go still as a club, but after years at the very bottom, it's great to grab a bucket of popcorn and watch Carlton implode. Everyone is starting to get very protective of their patch and there are attacks coming left, right and centre. Great to see.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
