I've had the misfortune of attending almost as many Carlton games over the last couple of seasons as Melbourne (go with friends/family...etc). I was keen on Cerra when he was at Freo and was looking to come back to VIC. Now I've seen him in person multiple times at Carlton.... hard pass. Always injured, soft and regularly goes missing.

Nice wheels 👍 Certainly wouldnt have picked that if someone started a "match a poster to a car" type thread. (I had you pegged as a Kombi type)

Hi Tom When you go with this as your 'scoop' for tomorrow, could you at least credit the forum/thread/poster this time? Cheers

McClure supports Carlton and ALWAYS finds a way to crowbar them into any trade conversation at around this time of year. His 'analysis' of the CP/McKay situation before running with his little thought bubble would have been no more involved than... CP wants to go to a big club 🤔 Carlton are a big club! 💡 Melbourne needs a big KP forward 🤔 OMG, Carlton has a few of those!💡

What ever happened to Will Setterfield? After some average seasons at Carlton, I recall him being fairly decent after being traded to Essendon?

His outlook on how everything went down has obviously changed, or maybe been changed for him. Videos on YouTube aren't as easily deleted as IG posts, such as the one he posted from the hospital which was swiftly taken down.

The "layers of challenges" were touched on by Mark Fine on SEN during his show after the game on Friday night. Basically he was joining the pile on re Melbournes "culture", saying amongst other things that "ANB wants out". That instantly had someone texting in to say that ANB had a young baby and he and his partner wanted to be home closer to family, and that him leaving had nothing to do with the MFC "cultural issues". Fine fired back saying that was [censored], it has everything to do with the MFC because other players have young babies too and they dont go home, so obiously something is rotten at Melbourne to make ANB want to leave... etc etc That lead to him being bombarded by other people more in the know than the person who mentioned the baby, outlining to Fine what the other "layers" were. Fine didn't disclose them and nor should he, but after coming back from a break he backed right away from the "ANB wants out" statement and actually apologised to ANB, his family and MFC supporters for the suggestion, acknowledging that he got it wrong.

Barrett from about 6.15 onwards, referencing his article overnight

I'm also curious about the response he will get if it doesn't. He can't change what's happened and been said.

Thrilled to see we have gone in with Adrian Anderson again 😫

Rolling thread on X if anyone wants to follow.... https://x.com/DavidZita1/status/1828349305708781762?t=J74NTcXn8I4ktKtoBbZRuA&s=19

I've never seen a player look so wrong in opposition colours 🤢🤢🤮

Christian Petracca airs shock new revelation in rare interview amid AFL trade rumours Petracca has remained silent for several weeks but now returns to the spotlight with the release of a podcast recorded on August 9 — just days before the first reports that he was disgruntled and could consider requesting a trade (Apologies if a re-post. Far too many pages to catch up on)

I hate that is now my focus for the season, but yep, definitely on. Not sure what the Suns winning margin needs to be but live ladder right now has them above us. And go Saints!

Just admit you had no idea who Kentfield was when you bolded his name and we can move on.

Reposting this as it's relevant again. Here are the forward coaches at every club. Spot the "actual" forwards. Adelaide - Scott Burns Brisbane - Murray Davis Carlton - Jordan Russell Collingwood - Justin Leppitsch Essendon - Dale Tapping Fremantle - Jaymie Graham Geelong - James Rahilly Gold Coast - Brad Miller GWS - Jeremy Laidler Hawthorn - Adrian Hickmott North Melbourne - Xavier Clarke Port Adelaide - Chad Cornes Richmond - Kane Lambert St Kilda - Robert Harvey Sydney - Jarrad McVeigh West Coast - Matthew Knights Western Bulldogs - Matt Spangher

LOL, he has been at the club for 3 months. Did you just look at the playing list, see a name you didn't recognise and thought yep, he'll do?

The extension is 3, not 4. He was already contracted until the end of 2025.

I'm thinking more Tom Browne. Someone should rename his "classic moments" thread on BF from Browne to Morris, and carry on. They are basically the same person.

I think a few too many on here have attended the Tom Morris school of critical thinking.

If the Filth beat us, they can still make if Port can get over Freo in Perth and the Blues lose to both the WCE and the Saints, which given all the Blues outs and the way they are playing is a strong chance.

I'd love to see a stat on how many frees the Pies get in the last 5 mins of games when the margin is a couple of goals or less. I counted 5 or 6 straight tonight, and while most were probably there, they were all soft and not frees they were paying earlier in the game.

To be fair, he said the "this is the best culture I've seen in 40 years in the game" were in the context of questions they were being asked about the Joel Smith situation and whether that was a reflection on the club culture rather than an individual behavioural issue .

I wasn't arguing that point. I was trying to agree with you that any issue he may have with the game plan would probably be centered around the way it was being executed, rather than the game plan itself. Finals last year, first half of Carlton game, West Coast the week after and then the complete capitulation vs Freo, the week before Collingwood.
