Autopsy AFL 2026 Opening Round - Swans v Blues Thurs March 5th 7:30pm AEDT (SCG)

[Jim Prideaux]

Last year after Sydney fleeced Carlton for Curnow I remember a few angry Blues fans were adamant that Hayward and Florent were more than salary dumps and would be good AFL players

Florent was Kees deep in the game in fairness

Nah, you respect the people who shaped your career by not doing that .

Common in EPL not to celebrate against former teams and should be in AFL.

You don’t think ill of people who shaped you as a person, even if it isn’t a human but instead a football club

celebrating a goal isnt discrespectful.

Totally disagree. He’s moved on to a new club, happens all the time. Just because he’s happy with the goals and win doesn’t mean he’s disrespecting his time and mates at Carlton, he’s just moved on and that’s that.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

After one game, the rule changes appear to be largely a non event, and even not too bad?

 

[TheNewEnsign]

A bad loss made worse by the fact that you're not getting three goals out of Pitto each week.

 

[Wojcinski]

Florent was Kees deep in the game in fairness

With a nice holiday for his efforts

I listened to SEN Dwayne’s world talkback radio last week visiting clients and I almost crashed my car with laughter..

Off two pre season games the following was confirmed

Jagga smith is already better than nick daicos
Jagga smith is winning the brownlow
Carlton are better without curnow
Carlton are favorites for the flag because they beat geelong and Brisbane in a practice match

The bizzare thing was these callers had such sincerity in their voices calling up saying this stuff that you’d almost be concerned for thei mental health.

Fast forward to the real stuff.. Carlton comes out and gets belted by 10 goals.

Blues fans and reality always seem to be an ocean apart

He''l have to spend more time in the middle, Reidy is bog.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Coach swap? Voss for Clarko?
Carlton need to find a higher level.
The North rebuild hasn’t gone well. How much patience will the Kangas have?

I think most people understand Clarko inherited a pretty tough job.

Carlton should be better they have shown. Another couple of weeks and the Blues Board may lose patience.

Wash your mouth out.

 

[Shane Heard]

A satisfying result.

 

[Atomboy]

Off the back of that effort it’s gratifying to know that Carlton will be playing the Sunday twilight game next week.

Tune into tomorrow.

Voss in denial during presser. Referencing praccy game form.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

With a nice holiday for his efforts

He can enjoy some Bistecca Florentina

 

[Carringbush2010]

Didn't get to watch it and still enjoyed it

 

[Carringbush2010]

Blues need to resign Voss

 

[Fadge]

The fat lady is warming up her vocal cords

You obviously forgot who Sydney were playing...

heck that. Take Teague over Vossy.

 

[Fluro Boots]

How does a bloke like Weitering put up with this? He’s too good for this side.

Not the first time he’s been scammed.

 

[Roobs321]

And yet their opening game last year was maybe more embarrassing. Progress.

 

[SC_Power]

I missed the second half, and am literally flabbergasted.

I mean, even allowing for Carlton, I just don’t get that final score at all.

Never watch match replays of other teams games, but just might do so this time.

 

[Xtreme]

You obviously forgot who Sydney were playing...

Rome wasn't built in a day!

 

[Randomizor]

Last disposal rule is great. Resulted in maybe 2 or 3 extra free kicks for the whole match and eliminated the whole subjective deliberate rule. Perfect.

 

[Fadge]

Rome wasn't built in a day!

But list builds aren't meant to take as long as it does to build an entire civilisation...

That’s what really matters down at Carlton. Gets their fans going
