Are Carlton a lock for the wooden spoon?

[eaglespremiers]

 

[Wild Bill]

it's hard to see how they won't take home another piece of woodwork. If they can't beat Brisbane at home, who can possibly finish below them? Equal bottom now and it's hard to see how they turn it around.

Makes you wonder how long Mick is going to survive. Could be as early as Monday morning. If they do finish last, can they finally draft and develop a decent player with that pick?

The smart money is on the Bombers....

God they were terrible in that second half. They looked completely dis-interested.

Straw poll of the regular Blues supporters I know, all 7 or 8 of them, all bar 1 support the tank for number 1. Funnily enough most of them would also be in favour of a priority pick if the AFL would be so kind.

So 'at large' for me would be correct. It seems to be reasonably prevalent on BF as well. If you've got the official figures I'm happy enoug to see them.

Your straw poll is not verifiable on BigFooty so is meaningless.

Would we be happy to get a top draft pick ... yes. Do we want to tank to get it, the prevalent feeling on the Carlton board is no. Plenty celebrating wins and lamenting losses in the same old fashion. Only an occasional poster lamenting the drop in draft order.

I don't need to give you official figures. Go and find them on our board yourself.

You take away a Schinder miss and give the hawks 5 more seconds they are 17th.

If gold coast get their s**t together and the blues continue their form its a real chance that essendon win the wooden spoon.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

I would love to see the Bombers win the spoon it would be great for football.

 

[Chaisa]

As much as we'd all like to see Essendon win the spoon, I can't see all of the Blues, Lions and Suns finishing with more wins then them. Besides once Golden Boy goes they might actually try like Carlton are under Barker.

I think it is out of ess and Bris. Ablett back will see more wins for the Suns and the blues look like they have turned the corner.

Essendon gave up today. A sign of a club in real trouble.

Then again a few more beatings like today their percentage will be under everyone else and reckon Gold Coast will easily win 2 more, Brisbane may beat Carlton and Melbourne to be on 4 wins also and reckon Carlton could pinch one more somewhere. So a fair chance they slide all the way to the bottom.

Haha 'not verifiable on BigFooty' ******* lulz. How can I ever go on.

Hird won't be going anywhere if the supposed six figure pay out is in play. They would be much more prudent to wait to see what WADA find and then cut him loose without fear of repercussions.

So could you. Is that verifiable on BigFooty I wonder.

Log off champ, there's actually a real world and people out there you know.

I could be but I'm not the one making up bullshit about a supporter base because it suits my bias.

Aww, you'll be okay.

 

[jimmy35]

These supporters are embracing a losing culture that will never reap success. Try a straw poll with supporters who actually have a bit of ticker and pride.

And the impression I'm getting on the Carlton board is that most actually do not want to tank.

Agree fully.

If Carlton were a lock, Essendon are the key.

 

[The King!]

Almost be happy to lose to Brisbane next week to help Essendon get the wooden spoon

They do play Essendon

OOPS!....

 

[Trav 20]

I never thought there'd be a team I'd grow to hate more than Carlton, but I almost feel affectionate to the Bluebaggers these days.

I'd kill for those smug Essendon campaigners to 'win' the spoon.

And come trade time no other club will deal with these unfettered flogs.

 

[Masto]

I would love to see the Bombers win the spoon it would be great for football.

Hird keeping his job would be even better

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

pencil in the bombers. Worst list in the competition. Demons will get another couple as will blues and suns, lions get rockliff, hanley, merrett and martin back next week and they'll start winning.

Not against Sydney we won't

 

[underthestars]

if only carlton, gold coast, and Brisbane had two more games against the bombers.
Still may get there, Essendon's % is going to look awful by seasons end...unless they do what Carlton did to stop the rot.
