scott is a fantastic coach. we wouldn't be languishing in the bottom half if he was in charge

they probably won't appreciate him until he's gone and he's replaced by a mediocre coach

I rate him also , esp on match days. But he should be with the club facilities, salary cap rots etc etc. Feedback to me is that nowehere near the level of success has been achieved that should follow.

But its amazing, esp in Geelong ,what many cats fans say to me. Just reporting the facts ma'am.

3 weeks for Chol (official just announced on AFL website)

Now, @No. 31, despite being a diehard Carlton fan, you’ve been magnanimously accepted by us coz you seem to be a nice person. But… methinks you’re pushing the boundaries here 🤨

Speak for yourself I certainly haven’t accepted @No. 31, anything Carlton can get in the bin.

of course that’s worse. duh

i was just wondering how cats fans felt if being so close so many years and not winning

Just banter mate, their fans would be saying it’s great as they haven’t bottomed out since winning the flag in 07 & their lowest is 10th and missed finals twice with 4 flags

No. 31 speaks very well of us, more positive than many Dees supporters. I think the exemption is warranted.

But yeah, I guess I am just speaking for myself. I masqueraded as a Blues fan for 20 years. And not casually either, I went to every Carlton match, countless finals and a couple of grand finals. Hells, as a kid I wore a Bruce 11 Doull duffel coat everywhere. So there’s no way I can ever hate Carlton.

Go lions & make Aus happy

Genuinely annoying that the Melb v Dogs GF was in Perth. Two teams that aren't there that often and two Melb clubs (I'd count Geelong as Victorian but not a Melbourne club). The last time a GF was like that was 2010 (Pies v Saints).

Another Geelong grand final is just becoming boring.

You’re the one who needs to wake up, Fence. How do you explain Geelong’s ability to draft in all the big names without breaching the salary cap? And that’s just for starters.

I’m quite sure we’d have way more success if we were given a leg-up in almost every respect.

IF, our football administration, both on and of field was up to scratch

Hope you watched the videos – not just the wiki! Had to turn it off rather than seeing Esther get BOG.

If he gets suspended for that play the grand final in dresses.

Mabior got three weeks. Geelong players better get cracking… dress shopping isn’t something done in five minutes.

Actually, some can wear their partners’ Brownlow gowns, saving time and money 😜

I still remember you posting a long time ago you were a Carlton fan, still haven’t embraced you either.

Tracc in a 2021 mindset can certainly do what Danger did last night. The big question is whether he will have that hunger again with the MFC.

If he was capable of that mindset in 2021, he’s still capable of it now. The hunger isn’t gone , it just needs the right environment and leadership to unlock it again. That’s exactly what King and the reset are here for.

It's an embarrassment to the game full stop.

I wasn’t a Carlton fan… I posed as one. There’s a distinction. My heart may’ve appeared navy blue but in reality it was always red and blue.

Agree , cats long term success goes back to strategies put in place when the expansion clubs come in that they wouldn’t bottom out to rebuild..they trade in the best free agents which in itself a real issues to the competition as the best will end to 4-5 teams who will dominate. Will up to our 4 president & 3rd CEO by 2026, stability & planning linked to success

Better not be any closet pies fans here?

Lets just hope cox doesn't have a 2018 pelim final performance

Nup sorry don't agree with that. Unfortunate stewart got concussed but come on that's not 3 weeks

Just arrived in Mildura for the first leg of our road trip up to Noosa, will celebrate my pending 80th birthday with my extended family tomorrow then head off to Forbes on Tuesday morning. We have settled into our accomodation and getting ready to watch the game, Go Lions.👍😁

pretty sure if Goody made 8 prelims for only 1 flag there would be a thread on here wanting him out 😂
