    Autopsy 2026 Rd 11 Blues power away from Port to win 2nd game in a row

    I think it’s pretty obvious that we’re implementing what Voss was implementing but we’re doing it with clearer heads - doing it better and for longer. I doubt that was bc of Vossy’s coaching as such (or Fraser’s), but more about the ongoing pressure on us bc of the pressure on him. He is such...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 11 Blues power away from Port to win 2nd game in a row

    Same!! Fast becoming my favourite (after Crippa of course!). He belongs in the leadership group. If I didn’t think it was going to cause disharmony with Walsh, I’d be backing him for next captain. I wasn’t that excited by the recruitment of Frankie or Ainsworth and both have completely flipped...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 9 Blues go down after scaring reigning premiers

    I’m actually talking about the controlled kick/mark game. It’s been high quality for lengthy periods. That is structure, effort and strategy. And I would say, something we haven’t seen since the glory days. Had that been one of our previous coaches, at this stage of the year, there would have...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 9 Blues go down after scaring reigning premiers

    But that doesn’t alter my view that we are moving the ball better than any other time in the past 25 years, and for long stretches over the past few weeks. And with a mediocre list at best, particularly when it comes to foot skills. For literally decades now, we have been crying out for the...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 9 Blues go down after scaring reigning premiers

    Building into a captaincy position I reckon. They wouldn’t give him captaincy ahead of Walsh but reckon he’s on track for VC, which is surprising. Not just his form, but the way he goes about it. I’m very pleasantly surprised by how he’s going about it with us.

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 9 Blues go down after scaring reigning premiers

    Obviously it’s not lasting a whole game, but I reckon that when it’s working (and it has worked for significant periods the last few weeks), we’re moving the ball better than any time in the past 25 years. If Voss is going to wear the blame for the issues, he deserves credit for this. The...

    Next Carlton Captain?

    Unless we trade someone in, it should be George for a couple of years. Newy or Haynes if they see them playing another couple of seasons as VC. Walsh or Weiters has got McGrath disaster written all over it. But it’s Carlton - they’ll stuff it up. It’ll be Walsh (C) and Weiters (VC). Hell...

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

    Can’t help but feel that Voss has shot himself in the foot this week with the selections. Ollie H is not AFL standard unfortunately. You just can’t carry someone that physically weak, despite the effort. Selecting Saad is looking in the rearview mirror. Arguably, same goes for H...

    List Mgmt. 2026 AFL Draft, November 19 and 20 (Picks after Round 11: 5, 22, 23, 41, 50, 59)

    They could have, and should have, phased it in over a period of time that gave clubs time to prepare and which also would have meant that each year a club only missed out on a small advantage of the clubs in the previous year etc. Much easier pill to swallow for all. How the compensation picks...

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    Bassat has a valid point - I hold nothing against him. I'm on his side. The fairest system is to not have any priority access - I'm fine with that. The issue is the way they have gone about changing it from what it has been to this - the gap is just so enormous in terms of what we're having to...

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    I’m genuinely interested in some kind of (effective and mature) protest action. If Carlton have to pay a financial price for the AFL to take notice, so be it. Probably either has to be a peaceful boycott of some sort (outside the stadium?) or some kind of action on game day that is very obvious...

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    so the Tigers are more advantaged by Cody being FS than we are. The incentivising of the bottom teams to bid is the worst and most indisputably unfair part of the whole thing (and the whole thing has been done poorly). A farce. It should have been phased in over a period of a few years. We...

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    The issue I think is that Port’s finishing position is largely irrelevant, as long as it’s higher than us. The Tigers don’t care. The leverage for Richmond is that they have the choice of picking a player that would score us an extra end of first round pick (or our guy and gifting us nothing)...
