    News Nick Austin departs

    I thought SoC did a good job with the picks he had. Weaved Jagga out of a sow’s ear, and recovered slickly from West Coast’s over-bidding for Dean. Diamonds in the rough fall to late picks because everyone passes on them. That said, after six years it’s time for both parties. Nick will get a...

    It's Well And Truly Nick Austin's List Now

    Well, it still is. For now.

    Hot Topic Michael Voss resigns from Carlton. Best of luck and thank you Vossy!

    Wouldn’t have mattered. We’re in a rebuild. If you think we’re bouncing back into top 4 contention next year, I have a bridge for sale.

    Hot Topic Michael Voss resigns from Carlton. Best of luck Vossy.

    Thanks for 2023 Vossy. If only the players had clicked a fortnight earlier we might have played that final at the MCG and then, who knows? We're in a rebuild, and Voss isn't what we need right now. I don't think he wants to coach a rebuild either. David King says no rebuild coach lives to...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 9 Blues go down after scaring reigning premiers

    Agreed. We'd never be in front at any point of a game otherwise. For all his faults, Voss hasn't lost the players. One reason I'm happy for him to see out the year, get the hard decisions put to bed, and let the successor have clean air.

    Official Club Stuff From The President - Robert Priestley

    The AFL is being deliberately vague about the fine so they don’t get sued, or worse, stare down the barrel of a doctor strike. They can say “look, we did something.”, now don’t do it again, and let us never speak of it again.

    Hot Topic Michael Voss resigns from Carlton. Best of luck Vossy.

    That’s almost certainly happening in the background. Would you rather be reading blow-by-blow accounts in the media?

    Hot Topic Michael Voss resigns from Carlton. Best of luck Vossy.

    What are we hoping for with a coach change? a few paltry wins a la Teague? Better to let Voss see out his year and then make the changes necessary for a rebuild. In the meantime let kids like Ison grow into their frame at VFL level instead of throwing them to the wolves.

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 8 Blues disgraceful second half. Something must be done.

    It's called "managed decline". I'm beyond convinced this is the mode we're in. There's no hiding the lack of selection integrity each week. Decisions like this don't come from a coach. He just gets told to live with it. Voss' job is safe until season's end - the last thing we need now is a...

    Yep. Did Shai Bolton make a difference last weekend?

    Leave the Weiterbot out of that list. He's excellent, but he's usually on the last line.

    Or does it say a lot about the lower pressure in a VFL game? I'm just happy to see it at all. Even the VFL-listed players were in tune. Of course these same players still have to replicate it under AFL pressure. Players won't ever adjust if they never get senior games though, which is why I...

    What struck me watching this game was how quickly we moved the ball, and how confident we were doing it. Hopefully things are improving.

    And there's the true weakness of our midfield. Someone should be receiving handballs from Cripps and delivering the ball themselves. Eleven clearances last night, 24 contested possessions. He's still a beast, but I50 delivery is a job for a surgeon, not a beast.
