No different to Carlscum

May they both rot…

How does Schultz win medal.

The commentators are laughing.

At least 6 better players on the ground, if not more.

Pendles for example was more influential, with many more possessions.

 

Something horrible about watching people have a genuine mental implosion.

Carlton players became so frightened that it kicked them out of even the most basic routines. You can see the cogs jam in their head as they make the decision 'I'm convinced that what I normally do isn't going to work, so I will do something else even though it never works at all in any circumstance'.

45 minutes of panic. They only calmed down when there was nothing left to lose.

The question is.who will be sacked first Voss or Goodwin??

Who do you think is poachable?

Voss will be gone first. There's nothing wrong at Carlton which can't be traced to the coaching, and Voss doesn't have any proverbial credits in the bank.

Poachable, based on 'what you see is what you get' rather than any fantasies.

Walsh seems to be stagnating at Carlton and is a restricted free agent for 2026. Currently still only 24yr 9 months. On his current form he is 'just another midfielder', but even as that he could be a useful winger/midfield utility. A return to his best form would be something extra.

Kemp was shopped around by Carlton last season (which I hear is the ultimate sin), is a tick under 24yrs, a complex but interesting prospect who had a slow start to his career due to injury, and is out of contract this season. As a tallish (192cm) swingman he would likely have a role. No need to fantasise about him suddenly becoming much better, just filling a role.


Fun fact - Melbourne could make no changes to its team and just play the exact players we already have out there for another two years and it would still be a younger team than Collingwood fielded tonight.

Oddly enough their only player with less than 50 games experience, Ned Long, is already 22.

What is even more satisfying is that apparently Carlton traded their first round pick next year to, of all teams, Hawthorn!

Goodwin + Voss could swap jobs 🤓

Like Parkin + Walls did in the 80s. (Or at least I think it was in the 80s.)

No thankyou.

Also, it was the 90's.

Also, it was the 90's.

In a notable AFL coaching switch, Robert Walls replaced David Parkin as coach of Carlton in 1986, while Parkin took over at Fitzroy in a direct swap. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown: 

  • Parkin's Tenure at Carlton:

    David Parkin coached Carlton for several years, including a period of success, but eventually faced a downturn in form.

  • Walls Takes Over:

    After Carlton endured three consecutive unsuccessful finals campaigns under Parkin, Robert Walls took over as coach in 1986.

  • Parkin's Move to Fitzroy:

    Coincidentally, Parkin then became the coach of Fitzroy, creating a direct swap with Walls.

  • Parkin's Return to Carlton

    Parkin returned to coach Carlton from 1991 until 2000.

walsh looks a shadow of his former self, but you can bet he'll still command a pretty penny as a former #1 pick and ostensibly having credits in the bank as a very good player...three years ago

kemp is no better than howes imo - very vanilla

Interesting watching Walsh tonight.

He's running to the ball but not through the ball if that makes sense.

He's hesitating...

His confidence is down.

Interesting final score, neither team managing double figures and Magpies winning with only 8 majors.

Also Magpie inaccuracy, 8 15. Perhaps it's not just us but something to do with playing fast and furious football?

That's extremely concerning. I hope the mcc are having discussions with the head of security today. Not sure how that could be missed on the scanner

I expect from now on we’re going back to long waits when going through security, with full bag searches etc.

What was a much faster system of security screening has had a major fail.

I’m guessing they were Carlton supporters, because a) it’s a club for crims, b) they started getting agitated in the second half.

I know the Collingwood fanbase has its fair share of crims, but they tend to be lower level crimes, consistent with lower IQs. To get loaded guns past security requires a level of planning and execution way beyond their skill set.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
