And totally unoriginal, using exactly the same language that Goody and the players used


Soulless, feckless, gormless, absolutely. Selfless? Give me a break!

And there is the first club to start mimicking everything we do.

Weird feeling this.

Easier said than done. If it were easy everyone would have done it by now.

 

And so it begins.

Our players will be lauded as Superstars. We will become the hunted. Everyone will want what we have and try to replicate our game plan.

A simple one two hand pass between Petracca and Oliver will be called incredible by commentators.

Salem will be lauded as the best kick in the league every time he gets the ball. Even when he missed one it will be a rare miss.

Are you saying there is a problem with this? The boys should start bottling their urine, they can sell it as champagne 😁

It is possible with Cook as CEO but they are kidding themselves if they think it’ll happen over a preseason.

They have a much better list than we did in 2014 when Roosy took over. We however started an organizational facelift from that year onwards. We brought in Roosy’s Sydney assistants. We rejigged our football department. We started learning a new game plan and defensive fundamentals. Us becoming ‘selfless’ was merely the final cherry on top after we had spent the last 7 years making the sundae. Richmond and Geelong’s breakthrough teams were no different.

If they think they’ll just snap their fingers and become a premiership team, they will be demonstrating exactly why they have failed from 2014 onwards.

SOS is a complete [censored].  The nuffy uses a fake name on big footy to spread rumours.

Certainly is!

Wait till they do the player profiles for this year's draft prospects. We'll probably start seeing the "plays like.... " line, and it'll be one of our guys!

But its true anyway.  - Just now will be rcognised. 

"Carlton" and "selfless" don't belong in the same sentence.

Cripps to defensive wing 

I think Cripps should be a top five player in the AFL, however he as optimised “trying to do it all himself” for too long now.

If Carlton get things right they could jump up the ladder pretty quickly with their list.

Can't wait to see guys like Williams, Martin & McGovern talking about selflessness and team first cultures as they pocket half of Carlton's salary cap between them.

That said, there is enough talent on Carlton's list that they should be playing finals next year.

And soon enough they will all start to hate us, can't wait.

A lot depends on Cripps. Shades of Trengove - lost mobility. Against MFC this year, couldn't or wouldn't kick. Other than Walsh, nothing else in the mids.

They have a good spine, but Jones is overrated as a defender (interceptor only).

In passing, Coniglio seems to have the Trengove effect as well.

I'll probably be corrected but regardless of the list, I don't think many coaches have taken over and got to a flag straight away - it usually takes years for players to learn a new gamestyle and for the coach to tweak the list to implement it.

Scott is an exception but they had already won a few flags.  Bevo maybe the other exception - except McCartney had laid the ground work with a number of their young players.  Could we say Teague has done the same?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
