Caleb Windsor Could Miss the Rest of 2024
So unlucky. Happened when he slipped on the MCC wing in the last 20 seconds of the game and got crunched by a Peatling tackle

NON-MFC: Round 20
https://www.mcg.org.au/the-stadium/mcg-history/timeline 1859 "The first inter-club game under Melbourne Football Club rules (the basis of Australian rules football) was played at the MCG over two Saturdays, July 9 and 23. The Melbourne Football Club defeated South Yarra three goals to nil." 1883 "Arrangements were made by which the Carlton Football Club played several of their best matches on the MCG." 1890 "On March 7 the Melbourne Football Club became affiliated with the Melbourne Cricket Club" Doesn't really suggest that Carlton became a "tenant" of the G in 1883. The G was pretty much solely a cricket ground until 1890

NON-MFC: Round 20
10-5 free kicks to Carlton that quarter. 4 of them directly resulting in goals for Carlton. Usual bias

Just more talk and speculation

At least the 50 year member category is still around. Might be gone by the time we get there

Tom Fullarton - back up ruck?
Averaged around 15 disposals, 5 marks, 5 hitouts per game. And kicked 30 goals across 18 games. Similar stats in 2022. Just give the guy a chance in the seniors. Who knows - he may surprise everyone on this forum

Tom Fullarton - back up ruck?
Yep I do. And I reckon he's p*ssed off

Tom Fullarton - back up ruck?
Didn't Fullarton have 30 hit outs in a VFL match a few weeks ago? Classy by Goodwin to pump up Fullarton's tyres in public. And wonder if he noticed Pup's 24 tackles on the weekend? Didn't seem to notice/reward Pup's match saving one against Norf

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon
He is becoming a more rounded player, week by week, and the stats prove that "conclusively". If that isn't improvement, I don't know what is. And I am sure Longmuir is very happy with the role he is playing in that forward line where the other key forwards (i.e. Treacy, Jackson, Banfield, etc.). are sharing it around

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon
Not sure what stats you are looking at. He is currently on track for more kicks, kicking efficiency, disposals inside 50, metres gained, ground ball gets, inside 50 marks, more shots on goal, goal assists, tackles, pressure acts, spoils, one percenters on last year's stats. And again, 7 games to go plus finals. Sheesh

Adam Simpson departs West Coast
They're recruiting in 2013 was excellent (Yeo, Sheed, McGovern, Barrass) but yes, from 2014 to 2021 disastrous. And contrary to what Caro says, Simpson has actually given the "kids" recruited in those years heaps of opportunities/games (see list below) but they're not quite good enough for the AFL. And the person most responsible for that recruiting was Rohan O'Brien, who also managed their list in the last few years. It will take years to repair the damage O'Brien caused, as it did with us and the carnage Barry Prendergast left behind 15 years ago. CURRENT: Hough 46; L. Edwards 34; H. Edwards 33; Chesser 30; Maric 23; Bazzo 20; Jamieson 17 PAST: O'Neill 39; Foley 32; West 28; Brander 22; Clark 21; Ainsworth 14; Cameron 12
