    Bluemour Melting Pot XXVII

    If one match will sway you, what we’re you thinking when we beat Geelong at Kardinia Park? We have been seriously rebuilding for 5 years. We should have made finals this year, if our program was on time. If we do not make finals next year there will need to be a very serious rethink of our...

    Autopsy Rd 14 Blues go home at half time

    I believed at the start of this season we had a side capable of making the 8. Given our run with injuries I believe we should have made the 8. So I am very disappointed to not make the 8. Imo a good rebuild should have seen us (with luck re injuries) contesting for a finals spot in year 4 (2019)...

    Autopsy Rd 13 Blues cruise home in the top end

    Don’t want to sound negative, because I am not. But the only think I took away from last night was further torture. True we put in for 4 quarters, which was great. Second time this year. But our opposition was double roasted and we had an opportunity to crush them and failed. The Suns were...

    Preview Rnd 13 - Carlton v Gold Coast Friday 21st August 7.50PM @ TIO Stadium

    You are right, it was the doggies game I was thinking of. I was happy with the win against the cats (who wasn’t) and remembered that and, with all the other 5 goal give ups, overlooked the last quarter. I now remember the searing psychological pain of the last quarter. So I am not thanking you...

    Preview Rnd 13 - Carlton v Gold Coast Friday 21st August 7.50PM @ TIO Stadium

    Posters who think bringing player x in for player y are misunderstanding our problem this year. imo the players we select week in week out have been good enough to win every game we have played. Where we have lost games is between the ears. For this reason I have found this season the most...

    Preview R6: Carlton v Bulldogs Sun 12th July 6.45PM @ Metricon - Team - Post #937

    I think McGov would get dropped because a) he is out of form; b) Kennedy has apparently played very well at the lower level; and c) Kennedy in for McG would be replacing one type of marking forward with another. On revealed form McGov is a much flashier player with his high marking. Kennedy's...

    Mega Thread COVID-19 Carlton & the AFL - NO POLITICS/NO RELIGION/NO CONSPIRACIES ETC

    Umm, what? To describe my statement raising what players might do to expose themselves to C-19 in a counterfactual to continuing to train and play footy as an indication that I was inferring that footy players might go on a rampage is definitely a framing issue. If that is the totality of the...

    Its not exactly how I would frame the proposition but for those who do simple yours is a valid framing.

    Mega Thread COVID-19 Carlton & the AFL - NO POLITICS/NO RELIGION/NO CONSPIRACIES ETC

    It is a good question and has an easy answer - yes they are. The harder answer is to consider the counterfactual - what increased exposure to C-19 might 18 footy lists of unemployed players have? Whilst those players are inside clubs they can be educated, monitored and to a degree regulated to...

    Mega Thread COVID-19 Carlton & the AFL - NO POLITICS/NO RELIGION/NO CONSPIRACIES ETC

    IMO at this stage the season should go ahead. AFL football clubs have been told to ensure players and their contacts engage in exemplary social distancing techniques. It would actually be an interesting real life experiment to see how long all players from all clubs were able to be kept immune...

    Game Day Marsh Series, R2: Carlton v Brisbane, Sunday March 8th, 6.40pm (AEDT) @ Ikon Park

    There are times when judgment should be reserved. There are times when judgment should be delivered. In the case of Jones I, like practically every poster on BF, formed the view that he was incompetent at AFL level. Eventually he was dropped to the reserves. He was tried at FB and, at that...
