    Stand up for your Captain!

    That is true. Who knows how reacting to the Hodge bumps would have affected the game. I just hope the team from here on in shows further tenacity in their attack of the man, and as a fan I would like to see our leaders verbally and/or physically stand up to the Hodges of the world. We have...

    Stand up for your Captain!

    Unfortunately that so called "Clarkson school of tough guys" is one of the best teams in the AFL right now whether we like it or not. Sorry to break it to you, we haven't beaten them for 8 years. And by the way Hodge wasn't suspended for knocking out our captain and slowing up Henderson. There...

    Stand up for your Captain!

    Fair call. It is better to have an overall intent than focus on one. I guess the point is, if Carlton did not already have such an aggressive mindset, I would hope that a serious blow to our Captain may have sparked a more obvious and angry response.

    Stand up for your Captain!

    Taking opposition players out of the game through physical injury will always help a team to win some games. If I was a Hawthorn supporter I'd be extremely impressed with the way Hodge played that game. Took our Captain out, slowed down another and didn't even get rubbed out. My argument...

    Stand up for your Captain!

    Saturday 21st of April 2012, a perfect autumn day sees a flying Carlton team face the perfect enemy Essendon. Within 20 seconds of the first bounce Sam Lonergan took the opportunity to bury an unsuspecting Carrazzo into the MCG turf causing obvious shoulder damage. With the luxury of hindsight...

    Autopsy Round 7 Carlton v St Kilda Post Match Rant/Autopsy/Analysis

    One thing is for sure. We will never be contenders playing Kruezer and Hampson as our 1 and 2 tall forwards. Look through history and you'll struggle to find genuine ruckmen who turned into quality goal kicking forwards (Salmon one of the best). Both players are average contested marks, Kruezer...

    Autopsy Rnd 12 v West Coast Rant Thread

    I'm sick of hearing about the umpires on Thursday. They did not cost us the game. It's such a cop out to keep arguing this point. I don't care if the discussion centres around umpiring at Subiaco as a whole. I do think they're has been some poor umpiring at this ground throughout the year...

    Lets be honest. North Melbourne were looking to pick up Nathan Buckley as coach in late 09. Eddie reacted by creating the succession plan to keep Buckley from taking that job. There would have been other offers made post 09 anyway. If he thought Malthouse was out of ideas he was wrong. Malthouse...

    We’ve lost 5 of our last 6 matches and we’ll be sitting 10th on the ladder after rounds end. I don’t know what the first sign of form reversal means, but I would describe this situation as a disaster. Sure, our last 4 years have been quite stable (except Fev), but 2011 was still a...

    What did you read in my post that offended you so much. Take it easy. I understand what your saying. Lets wait three years till we have an average age list similar to Geelongs in 2011? Geelongs 2011 Grand Final team would have been one of the oldest lists to win a Grand Final probably since...

    When looking at the age profile of our team at the start of 2008 (Rattens first full season) it's clear that the Carlton Football Club has and still is wasting a super exciting list. Armfield – 21 Betts - 21 Carrazzo – 24 Gibbs – 19 Hampson – 20 Jamison – 21 Judd – 24 Kruezer – 18 Murphy – 20...

    Game Day Round 11 Carlton v Geelong Game Day Thread

    I know people are excited about Mitchell, but he's a very long term prospect. He needs years not months in my opinion. 2 shoulder surgeries already. Missed most of his final year in TAC Cup with injuries. Played barely any VFL footy these last 2 years. We can all hope, but I'm not confident that...

    Game Day Round 11 Carlton v Geelong Game Day Thread

    No Way. He's already got one thread going. He's form is a little bit down for sure, but let's not start questioning his intensity or care factor. He still did some good extracting tonight, it was just his disposal that let him down. He'll come good. I would rather see him play a less physical...

    Game Day Round 11 Carlton v Geelong Game Day Thread

    Next time you should watch the game before commenting. Jammo was pretty good besides one turnover in the third quarter chipping into the midfield. He kept Hawkins quiet and held our back line together with Watson only playing his 5th game. Watson was also okay. Made a couple of good spoils...
