Jaded No More

JJ is on the field warming up. Sub as expected.

How do you know they have tickets and didn’t just sneak in? I would check.

The absolute [censored] nerves of this club. Just beat them and shut them up Dees!

How good would it be if they picked a supporter to do the post match press conference each week? Would pay good money to watch a Carlton fan do a presser right now 😂

This thread is already wild and slightly unhinged Gonna be a long day.

As always it’s not losing or winning, it’s how you lose or win. I want to see what we’ve come up with to counter the Pies. If it works with some success then I’ll be satisfied that we can get them in finals. If it falls apart like a cheap suit I’ll be worried.

Obviously if they had suspected flu or Covid running through the club they would have wanted extra time to assess and maybe even wait on respiratory test results before naming the side. I don’t have any issues with that. It’s better than naming a side and then making 8 changes two days later, or letting infectious players take the field and passing it onto our guys!

Walsh and Cerra are good. Pitonett is a very decent ruckman. Their small forwards are nimble. Their list is significantly better than St Kildas. Yet one team plays like a team and the other has no idea what to do.

He is so excited for today 🙄

I would try and target the following in order of who I’d like most to who is probably the most realistic 1. Larkey 2. Naughton 3. McKay (Ben) 4. Himmelberg (but not for the reported $900k!) 5. Georgiadis

History tells us they won’t 😂

My dog has been standing at the window barking angrily at a single magpie in our front yard for 30 minutes. The magpie, while unmoved, has certainly been told in no uncertain terms by the dog, what a stupid ugly useless bird it is.

We need to put on a strong performance. If we lose by a small margin it’ll be very disappointing, but not the end of the world as we too are missing very important players. Namely our best player in Oliver. However if we get blown away and it’s not even a contest, similar to the Brisbane (pre lights out) or Essendon game, then I think even the ever optimistic @binman will have doubts over where this season can take us. My main concern today is having to listen to their toothless brainless moron supporters chanting Collingwood while I spent 1.5 hours getting home after the game.

A lot of teams are hanging for the bye. Lots of tired sloppy skills this weekend.

Make that 50. 50 frees in a single game. That’s 30 too many.

48 free kicks. Forty eight. What a slop AFL is becoming

Honestly how are Carlton this bad? They have enough good players to be better than this.

Rule of the week

My best friend is a Carlton members since birth. She’s due to give birth in September and was worried she’ll miss finals. Now she’s worried she’ll go into early labour watching the trash her team is serving each week.

I’ve gone down a black hole of watching dog rescue videos and I’m shedding tears like a Carlton supporter right now.

This is atrocious from Carlton Peter Wright is a star. Spewing we didn’t try to get him.

After careful consideration I’ve decided that what the AFL is missing is more umpires and more free kicks

Has reached his ideal playing height but not his ideal playing weight

Another atrocious umpiring display.

And he is incredibly tough. It’s not the worse idea. I’d like to see him get stronger through his core tho. You don’t want him to be easily moved off the ball in the contest.
