    I hope all the Sydney players lose their wallets in the Gold Coast casino bathrooms...

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

    I thought of that when I posted. Was my favourite band back in high school. Could also work for all the Stranger Things fans out there...

    OK, so this is what I didn't see when I didn't go down to training on the weekend. I paid particular non-attention to the new recruits. Florent - Spent the whole session at HBF. The coaches told him to line up on the wing, but he refused. Hayward was playing HFF on the other team and Florent...

    Prediction POLL ADDED - Who will be our highest rated Rising Star in AFL Season 2026?

    Nothing would make me happier. Well, maybe winning tattslotto and having Salma Hayek deliver the cheque in a free Ferrari F40 might make me happier.... But yes, I would love for Dean to make me eat my words.

    Prediction POLL ADDED - Who will be our highest rated Rising Star in AFL Season 2026?

    People need to seriously pump the brakes on Dean. He's an 18yo key defender. It's extremely rare for one to stand out in their first year of AFL. Even harder considering we only have one other genuine KPD and we can't easily hide Dean playing playing on a 3rd/4th tall. Yes, I know he's...

    This is kind of a pointless argument. You need talent, gameplan, structure, motivation, discipline, mental toughness, endurance, lack of injuries, stable management, off-field success and more. They're ALL important. Anyone that says x is more important than y is missing the point. This isn't...

    I tend to think it's more likely a great coach spawned half a dozen great assistants rather than half a dozen great assistants managed to end up together and create a great coach.

    Then again, until this week North's captain was a midfielder that wasn't good enough to play in the midfield of the 16th placed team...

    Omg, I'd forgotten about those! I'll write one up next week when I don't go down to training...

    Training 2026 Pre-Season Training - reports, pics etc

    This isn't the 70s and 80s. It isn't kick down the line to a contest these days. It's not 1-on-1 footy any more. The best teams have the best ball movement, spread, overlap, rebound, counter attack. They are the best drilled and best prepared. Sure they have a lot of talent too. But that's...

    I could not disagree with this more. Talent is the most important piece of the puzzle. But it is also only the starting point. Good coaching and game plan uses players in roles that will maximise their talent, minimises their weaknesses, puts players in more space, gives them more times to...
