    VFL Carlton Reserves 2026

    Getting multiple perspectives helps us all be better informed. I value it very much, as I usually don't get the chance to watch a full game. Really appreciate Jimmae and gbatman sharing your views and not taking or (largely) making anything personal. Your points of consensus are telling. I too...

    Thanks gbatman great summary, much appreciated.

    Hot Topic Will Elijah Hollands get another gig at Carlton?

    Not changing mine like others have. It was a snapshot, and if answers hadn't been actively changed so much over the last few months it would now evidence just how dramatic Lij's renaissance really is. Most people including me gave him no chance to overcome the challenges, despite almost all of...

    Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 3

    Here's a novel idea. How about everyone chills out and we just really enjoy any and all good things that happen, without the expectation of winning x number of games or making finals by x year. A segment of our supporters massively overrate our list year on year, many others get dragged along...

    Opinion Your 2026 R1 team

    Good question. Personally, I feel he's been a defensive liability. If he can get back to being an outlet weapon from the back half, without compromising our defensive output, then I'm all for having him in the side. Lost count of the amount of times opposition worked through his man (or section...

    Past 38. Will White

    Young works well, as long as they are not playing in the same team. Back to Will White - think he's talented and wish him the very best of luck so he can show it and live out his dream. Hope it's with us, but my feeling is he will be more of a Holman-type story.

    It's not this kind of death ride...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    Think it's a by-product of the 24x7 news cycle that swirls around EPL, NFL et al, and now (unfortunately) our game too. Content creators and media have to constantly be saying something in order to be noticed, and have to be saying something at least mildly controversial to be in focus. And so...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    All good, thanks for clarifying. I did feel that way but understand it's easy to do that online, no harm done. I haven't seen many people's opinions of Doc since leaving so I can't really comment on that. His criticisms since leaving do seem to provide more evidence that he was a possible...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    This. 100% this. Just as long as the idea isn't specifically "geriatric team" like Collingwood's strategy appears to be 😂

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    Yep, I've been strong on supporters cruedly abusing players at games and on social media, for the Bronx cheers when Motlop disposes neatly and for the calls to drop one or both of our Coleman medallists mid-game. I've not hammered posters for making a reasoned point on this forum. But I see your...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    Agree that in the absence of information people will literally make things up. I've only shared this one recent example as it's fresh in my mind. I don't much like your suggestion that I'm clutching at straws or my(tinfoil)hat, so I'll add a bit more colour. On the statement: yes it was tongue...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    Your sources on that are the exact same as mine - yet I said something like "in my opinion" while you appear to believe you are stating fact. Who's the first target of a new manager seeking to overhaul team culture? If you've ever managed a team, you know the answer is that the ones with half a...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    Not sure how you're conflating these points guys. I don't abuse our players, never would, but that doesn't stop me from seeing that they were damaged or destabilising goods this year, and calling it out in this discussion forum. GW and co. willingly let them go or encouraged them to leave, for...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

    I keep thinking the same - we need mature capable cover, not a superstar. Surely there's a KPP or 2 in the V/WA/SAN/ whatever FL that would be reliable enough in case we need to break glass?
