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

    I reckon Voss has been about league average up until now. Not good enough to innovate and cover over cracks in the team, but solid as a motivator. I thought he deserves this year, and that year 5 would answer a few questions definitively one way or another, while also showing other prospective...

    Official Club Stuff From The President - Robert Priestley

    That's a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

    Preview 2026 Rd 5 Carlton vs Adelaide - Gather Round - Thursday 9th April 7:40PM AEST @ Adelaide Oval

    I think Hayward getting suspended is going to help us, TBH. Our new forward line has been unable to put on pressure coming out of defence. Slightly too big with McKay, Kemp, McGovern and Hayward (and at times, O'Keefe or Reidy). Byrne has been good but doesn't ahve the tank to do it all on his...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 4 Carlton vs North Melbourne: What is this sport anymore?

    Last year was exactly the same. We led at half time in our first four matches and lost all of them. Our best form for the year was then rounds 5-15. I generally think nothing before Easter should be taken too seriously. Odd fixturing, pre season niggles, weather challenges. It's all up in the...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 4 Carlton vs North Melbourne: What is this sport anymore?

    Agreed. Actually played ok right to the end. Losing Weiteting was brutal and absolutely robbed by some atrocious umpiring. And yet at the same time: Evans missed a set shot to take the leed back Florent/Pitto combined to gift them a goal when we led by 21 Cripps quit on a chase of LDU and had...

    Game Day 2026 Rd 4 Carlton vs North Melbourne *GAMEDAY* Good Friday 3rd April @ 3:15PM ADT

    Whatever we did that quarter we should do it again, I think.

    Tackling has been good to start the third quarter.

    Game Day 2026 Rd 4 Carlton vs North Melbourne *GAMEDAY* Good Friday 3rd April @ 3:15PM ADT

    Our kicking is the worst I have ever seen from a football club. It's at the point I am genuinely surprised when we complete a kick to a team mate

    Pass mark for Carlton in 2026

    So after 3 games, "First Half Carlton" is 3-0, with smashing victories over Sydney (away), Richmond and Melbourne. "First Half Carlton" has an all-time great defence, conceding only 44 ppg (full games), which is a country mile ahead of the next best team in the league (Gold Coast, conceding 67...

    Universal Love Welcome to Carlton Graham Wright

    I think the tough job for Wright is that we need improvement in every single aspect of the club. Every single one. It's easy to pin things on the coach as a scapegoat, but at the same time... We've come straight out of pre-season and blown up in the second half three games in a row We had...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 3 Blues once more give a big F you to the long suffering supporters

    Was at the game, just got home. The players are just cooked. Something is just totally wrong, and I really cannot explain it. But basically, there are three Carlton 'modes' within the same game. Mode A in the first quarter - we are running down hill aggressively, handballing, swarming...

    Prediction Where do you predict Carlton will finish in 2026 and why?

    Probably worth pointing out that first half Carlton this year has middle of the road scoring power (91ppg) and by far the best defence in the competition (54ppg), even if you allow for some unlucky goalkicking by our opponents (7.12). That would likely be good enough to finish 5th-6th. Second...

    Most universally hated players

    This one is fairly specific to Carlton supporters, but Darren Milburn is still public enemy #1 Also Charlie Curnow - should be on this list for a long list of reasons.

    The Last Time...you fully expected to beat Geelong

    Oddly, Cripps/Voss era Carlton match up well against Geelong and have a good record. I suspect it is because of Chris Scott's 'we just play our way' philosophy - Carlton are easy to game plan against, so we perform disproportionately well against teams that don't. We also generally play them at...

    Curnow’s Coleman era is officially over

    He didn't give 10 years 'quality service'. We took a chance on him after he screwed up his draft chances with an off-field incident. He played 2.5 developing seasons, had a single breakout game and then hurt himself. He then re-injured his knee in the offseason playing basketball and missed two...
