Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread

[RedFury]

"It's not as crazy as you think"....

Yes it is lol.

17 matches need to go our way. 17.

If you assume a rough 50/50 for each game it's 1 in 131,000.
That's pretty crazy.

Edit: 17 is an interesting number. If it does happen .. could that mean we are headed for ....

 

[Blue and Blue]

It doesnt matter one bit how crazy or unrealistic this future story may be.

The mere fact the story can be written is astounding.

A minor miracle regardless of the next four weeks .

Haven't heard from our everyday Blue Basher J.Ralph for a while now, a bloke who like many other media people without a clue who thrive on repetitively kicking a club around week after week, back in'ya hole?

He had a breakdown after Saturday night, he was last seen being carted away. All the best Ralphy

Yeah just read the article, doesn't change anything though in my opinion he's treated us pretty ordinary over the years.

Along with several others.

NB: We've been pretty ordinary over the years. Soft targets. Not a writer's role to make the supporters feel all warm and fuzzy. The better press is coming.......

Absolutely been ordinary and no doubt have deserved it, no problem at all but when it's just gutter journalism and basically very poor personal theories without any thought or research at all, it's poor form imo.
Agree... it's going to be good from now on

What gets me with these types of articles is the 'worst list I have ever seen' has suddenly changed to 'star studded midfields / forward line' or Jack Silvagni is the most improved player etc.

Yeah only to the most inept observers.

Most journalists have the attention span of a crayon and can only observe the blatantly obvious. A small handful will rise above and lead the discussion, most will simply put their spin on what the hot topic currently is.

Sad really

The rating system is only a few years old and obviously flawed but the algorithm will be continuously improved and perfected as time goes on. I think at this stage, no one is really taking the official player ratings too seriously, more of an indicator on who played alright on the weekend according to a robot.

 

[ESKIE]

Ye old algorithm

what a load of horse s**t

Surely even a robot can do the maths on the = most clearances ever in an AFL game.

Maybe just maybe the last spot on the bench for Crippa

CD Algorithm.

Do the stats, do the maths, then take off 50 if it is a Carlton player.

This same Algorithm that listed Melbourne as having the best side coming into the season. What a load of crap.

He missed one match after failing to kick a goal in the previous three.

Why the * would we be interested in a very mature aged small forward who is horribly out of form?

If he hadn’t played for us previously there would be no talk. Reporters have gone all romantic to try and pretend there is something that might be possibly a very small chance of being discussed, at a general level, between clubs.

fraid so - everybody loves eddie is a thing - personally find it ott - that advertisement where he sings the praises of charlie is nauseatingly mawkish......
