Kind of struggle with statements like this. On the one hand it’s nice to get confirmation that there is some sort of vision and statement about Carlton’s goals going forward. On the other hand this will be used as fodder every time we have a bad form slump over the next five years. Is it...

Waiting for the media to stroke their thighs all week over this display of "finals football"

I feel like this super defensive pressure laden football is the kind of stuff we were lazily criticised for this year.

Went with the future option in Big H. Could just as easily have picked charlie too. Didnt want to click on Cas though yes he'll take the most time/effort from the opposition, because im not heaps interested in the short term and someone who is going to struggle to stay on the list at years...

She can stay in my rack.

Cant really say more than whats been said already. His hopes of having done the guernsey proud were realised and then plenty more. Good luck, Jamo. All class.

SA born and raised. Currently Vic though.

Trying to contain the sadness I feel about Menzel because I love him. But Menzel/Henderson for what ended up being pick 8 essentially, plus 5 blokes who couldn't get a gig for varying reasons, is too much to sensibly think about right now I just want to be sad.

I always thought it was a bit sickening how much everyone at the club and on here had gushed over a patty cripps who'd done nothing at AFL level last year. Slower than the rest of the world but I am officially on the train. Toot toot.

This guy from William Hill.. Insufferably forced enthusiasm. I find him rather unsettling.

Pls. White was a really good role player for us last night, and Malthouse was glowing in the presser. Reality is, this guy is best 22, and won't get dropped after one game. A pretty reasonable one at that too.

All ears then, champ. That, and the accompanying innuendo and speculation is all you've brought to the table so far to maintain that Jones was bullied. Fill me in with your secret local Melbournian wisdom.

I'm willing to admit that only Liam knows why he left the dogs. He may have done because the dogs, during the trade period, at least were a right shambles, Carlton may have tabled a very decent contract as it is their burden to get him to agree to a trade. To say he was treated poorly, basing...

Please. What exactly is this based upon? I saw plenty of footage of players in navy blue who 'didn't look happy' last year either, do we think there is rampant bullying and exclusion going on at Visy? Long bow to say the least.

Top four is unrealistic, so where we finish, and to an extent the number of wins is irrelevant this year. I just want games in the youngsters, to give the recruits a good run to understand better what we've got, and to just not get embarrassed like several times last year. If we win less games...

Have seen zero VFL form. I guess from the limited AFL exposure, I don't see 'it' in him and have privately written him off. Probably a little (very) unfair, so I guess that's why I'd call him a desert dweller. Just see nothing to get enthused about.

CT: Big Tommy Bell. Absolutely love the way this bloke goes about it. Seeing him put Cotch on his arse in the '13 EF (or was it that late season game?) May have caused some slight swelling in my nethers. Ditto for when he put Hayes down and kicked that goal in rd 23 2012. Sure he can fumble...

Just to play devil's advocate here, I love Walks but I reckon he sometimes gets distracted by the Crowley-type rubbish. Not saying he's a full on snipers but when things don't go his way has a tendency to go the man and not the ball and gives away silly free kicks. I thought Ratts' farewell...

Much more my "bag".

I place as much faith in Stevo as I do the dodgy (and as I later realised, drunk) tuk tuk driver that took me round Phnom Penh last night repeatedly offering me stimulants.

Are we any chance to get johnno o'rourke? If the scuttlebutt is true and were after Jaksch does that help or hinder the chances of that happening??

At least we don't have to have these insufferable 'Waite/Wait' headlines associated with our club any more.

My views are philosophical on Waite. Clearly capable, but hasn't realised his full potential for well-documented reasons. Was ambivalent about whether he was with us next year. We are not going to win a flag next year and by all reports that is all we were willing to give him. If anything...

I also remember missing the vast majority of the 99 PF as an 11 year old going to a birthday party at green hills adventure park. Maybe I am??:cry:

Been in India and Nepal for over 2 months, but in Bangkok now and pretty excited to watch the bluebaggers for the first time since the losing to the lions in round 11. Keen to see this whole turning the corner thing I keep hearing about with my own eyes.

Fans should be shattered about this. It is a waste of two and a half years' development, not to mention what was essentially a first round draft pick. Regardless of whether the carlton and AFL community warmed to him or not, losing a twenty year old developing player is not something that is...

I chose Bell. Huge fan of the big fella. For Bell, a 'breakout' as i see it would be him improving on 9 games this year, so 15-20+ and eventually cementing a spot in the midfield. To do this, he needs to be consistently getting involved, not disappearing like he has in the past. Same...

Obviously movements of higher note for us, but wouldnt hate the idea of us drafting in either Cross or Chapman late if trades cant be done for them that involve us giving up virtually nothing.
