I rate Jimmy, was hoping he could be enticed to take Brad Lloyd's role at Princes Park 😁 Would be handy to have at the Dees ... -
I think it was $280 this year but also going to $350 next year. Reckon I will just go for Kayo basic from Feb next year rather than a club digital membership. I don't really use it much over summer, might have caught a Serie A soccer game or MLB baseball occasionally but not must viewing for me. Then might just get a 3 game Dees membership in addition to my Blues membership instead.

I suspect Kayo have clamped down on this. I switched from direct Kayo subscription to a Demons Digital membership for a $120 saving this season.

SDK to join his brother TDK at Carlton for season 2026 is my bet.

Harry is not on the market and he doesn't want to go anywhere. This has been made clear to everyone recently when his name was floated (with no basis in reality) with Petracca possibly leaving the Dees. Barrett probably just wants to generate cheap clicks and views, a barrel scraper.

Partially true. Cripps was the Carlton midfield this season. Sam Walsh had a parial pre-season and ongoing back issues (and still got 16 votes) and Cerra had multiple hamstrings, barely played this season. If Walsh was fully fit, there is no way known Cripps could get 45 votes this season. Next season, Trac will take votes off Crippa so two Brownlows it will have to have to be for PC9. Hmmm #9, #5 ... 1995 ... its all starting to make sense now 😜

Barrett is a bottom feeder that tries to generate 'stories'. Just saw him on the Sunday Footy Show trying to trade Harry McKay out of Carlton again, this time to Brisbane Lions 🤦♂️
-
When playing for Carlton, I haven't found him lazy when playing. He tackles, chases, has intensity. I think there were question marks about his training work ethic though.

Definitely an issue at Princes Park. https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/1621986/russell-to-step-away-at-seasons-end

I think Bont was hard done by not to garner more votes but also Treloar had a great season and would have taken votes off him. IIRC Bont had a quiet start to the season but was huge in the middle/later part of the season. As for the Bont v Cripps question raised by some, I would always take Cripps. He carried Carlton on his lonesome in the disastrous years, Bont was playing in a Premiership winning team as a 3rd year footballer. Cripps has definitely faced more adversity in football. This isn't a sleight on Bont either, just recognition that Cripps has travelled a very bumpy footballing road in the early years.

Sam Walsh with 16 votes. He had an injury interupted season and on going back issues. If he was fully fit he would have pulled a fair few votes away from Cripps.
-
Cripps has been incredibly consistent this season. Only one or two so-so games. Has really improved on some areas of his game as well. I expected him to poll very well. Even in games where Carlton were poor overall, he usually stood out. Some of the other Blues 'stars' could learn something about consistency from the Captain ...

Bingo. Accurate and succint summary 👍😊

I don't think MFC will be getting a 5 year lease with 1 option to renew. There will certainly be specific long term leasing arrangements made. Also, the land where the admin/training building is on may possibly not be Crown Land, some portions of land outside the race tract at Caulfield RC are held by the MRC as freehold. The two training ovals will certainly be on Crown Land though. Might even be subject to a specific Act of Parliament as Princes Park is. If you want freehold land then you have to look at urban fringe like Tullamarine or Dingley. If you want an inner urban area a long term lease is far more likely. As mentioned abive, people in the A.C.T. still purchase real estate on 100 year leases.

Christian, blink twice.

He is a Red Bull brand ambassador. Likely catering his training for the stage of recovery he is at. Getting paid and getting some training in early and a bit of time out of Melbourne & Australia. Win-win-win I say.

I can see a giant red & blue billboard on Neerim Road ... McDEMONS Glen Huntly, VIC "Home of the Big Trac"
That is for another component of redeveloping Caulfield Racecourse, proposed new grandstand, new mounting yards etc has nothing to do with redeveloping the reserve inside the track where MFC ovals would be located.
Ed making a comeback after retirement. Nice, I wish him all the best even if he is more of a midfield tagger than a forward.
Getting in shape for pre-season at Princes Park 👍 [puts on kevlar helmet & flak jacket 😁]
Did you check with Dutton though ... there is a pond there for potentially cooling a modular reactor 😁
The Racecourse Reserve might be in the State electorate of Caulfield held by the Liberal Party but it is also in the Federal electorate of Macnamara held by the ALP. Sitting member is Josh Burns, who does have interest in footy (but I think he is a Carlton supporter). Lobbying never goes astray 😉 Terri Bracks on the board wouldn't be a bad idea, links to State ALP and a Dees fan.
