    Game Day Round 7 Carlton vs St Kilda Game Day Discussion

    Gut feel is that this will be a tight game, especially in the first half. Saints are a very solid defensive side, and play within their limitations. Easier to shut down a high pace, high talent team like the Blues on a smaller ground as well. Hopefully we can break free in the 2nd half. We're...

    Carlton in the Media (articles, podcasts etc)

    After I watched that interview, I was reminded why Channel 9 sacked Eddie from the CEO position. He's not the brightest spark. His interview "technique" is outright embarrassing. Rather than let the interviewee speak, he keeps interrupting them and trying to paraphrase them for some bizarre...

    General AFL Discussion #8 - Carlton Supporters ONLY !!!

    There's nothing "tough" about the sniper acts the Bombers players are involved in recently. It's actually outright cowardly. Toughness is about attack on the footy rather than trying to injure a player when tackled who's unable to protect themselves. Mitch Robinson is toughness. He'll knock...

    They pinned Priddis's arms and then drove his head into the ground concussing him. Game over. Usually only one of Essendon's Hacky expendable types do this stuff, presumably just in case the MRP get involved. Think it was NLM this time. Low act, classic Essendon. :)

    There's little doubt Sniperdon will be targeting the Richmond mids early in the next game. Practising their "clumsy" tackle technique at training during the week no doubt. They got Carrazzo and almost got Murph in our last game. They also took out Priddis in the recent game with one of those...

    Having a good laugh at how the media are overhyping Essendon's pretty ordinary list. However, they do have some good purpose-selected snipers. We've seen them take out their damaging opponents with "clumsy" tackles to get the upper hand on gameday. It's low-life tactics like these that define...

    Strange season. We're miles away from playing our best footy, with so-so form for most of it, and yet we're very close to top of the pre-finals series ranking ladder. Struggling to see who our main challengers will be this season - they all seem very flawed. Our aim is to just keep on ticking...

    The Weagles poor list depth and reliance on senior players is getting found out a bit. Not convinced they'll finish top-4 actually. :)

    Had to laugh. Just before the 3/4 time break Selwood went for the duck, and then all of a sudden he changed his mind and stood up in the tackle. The media attention on their cheating tactics has really got to their players. Very interesting. :)

    Preview Rd7 Carlton v St.Kilda Monday 14th May 7.40pm @ Etihad - Final Team - post #282

    Ellard over Lucas. Interesting. An inside mid instead of an outside mid. Maybe in response to our poor effort at stoppages last week. :)

    Credit to that little GWS side. They're already playing a competitive brand of footy. A lot of thought has been put into making sure they have the right mix of older and younger players. They don't resort to cheating/staging for free's like the Weagles do, and don't play bruise free footy like...

    Bryce Gibbs

    Gibbs has been totally outstanding thus far, and there's heaps more upside left. Brilliant reader of the game, outstanding skills. Couldn't want anything more from a high draft pick actually. His height make's him extremely versatile - so we can use him up on the HFF or as a play maker across...

    The EF Implosion V Weagles game tonight will be interesting, especially given all the much needed attention on the Weagles very effective free kick staging tactics. Hypothetical Question. Let's assume the Weagles didn't have this massive free-kick advantage from cheating. Would they still have...

    Melbourne are a total disaster. They Tanked very hard for an extended period of time, got a truckload of draft picks, but then made some simply disastrous draft pick selections, and totality mismanaged player development and the handling of their senior player group. The result we're seeing is...

    THe Dees V Tassie game was horrible. I could only stand about 15 to 20 minutes of it max. The weak clubs whine about not having enough Friday night games. But there's no point if they can't play and no-one turns up to their games. A complete waste of time. :)
