Caro still claiming Voss was way off the mark with his bullying comments last week

A bully getting offended by being called a bully. That’s so Caro.

 

[Jatz]

I keep seeing Jay Clark having a crack at us at every opportunity he gets. I get it, we're a big club and people like seeing us struggle.

I swear he complains more about us than most of our fans do though. Yet another one this morning on if Cripps should move on at the end of the year.

 

[Neese]

I don't watch any footy shows and I am good with that.

He really is a lightweight. It wasn’t long ago he was writing SuperCoach fluff pieces.

Probably shows that he reads the Carlton forum on BF.

No shortage of posters here who are saying the same thing and how many calling for our best player to be dropped?

Yep, same. The only thing I watch are the clips that are posted on here.

 

[Blue Pulse]

Totally agree, unfortunately, got sucked into listening to Wilson's big story on St Kilda last night, there's 8 minutes I will never get back on a totally nothing story

We support Carlton though. Seeing the football chief focus so solely on one club is pretty unprofessional imo.

I don't disagree but jeez we're an easy target at the moment.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

I don't disagree but jeez we're an easy target at the moment.

I'm sort of pleased though with how the club has stood their ground.

I think the pushing and probing by the Caro's and Clarks of the world is that Carlton are giving them nothing on the EH saga.

..and Bartels take on Chris Davies was a joke. A desperate reach for some another angle to have a go at Carlton and keep the story alive.

 

[Jatz]

Unequivocally.

I'm not against negative media coverage (especially when it's warranted - and yes, it's warranted) but it's starting to feel pretty targeted by the Herald Sun's top guy. I think that's more where my issue comes from.

I'm in Sydney and I don't read Melbourne papers, rely on this forum for any AFL info.

The only thing I would say is that the longer this goes on the worse any pile on will be. In our interest to get it done as quickly as possible. only then will we be able to move on.

How Carlton are defending their handling of Elijah Hollands

The Blues say they didn’t break any rules and are standing by the medical team that assessed Elijah Hollands on the night he took the field against Collingwood.

Kingy goes whack on First Crack with good ammunition, and rightly so.
Weiters grilled over his leadership
Give Cripps the back to WA offer
13 x 100-game players on Saturday, surely we can’t be so brittle
Players just giving up & lack of defensive intent
Saad in the gun for his positioning (a regular point of reference from them and his game)

they all know. Wrong thing to whack. Why do the children keep touching the stove is going whack. Not pointing out that they keep touching it. Everyone can see that.

Tackle count is always a good indicator of effort.

This year, I am sure, it has dropped compared to last year

He's not wrong

 

[Gethelred]

He's not wrong

Yes, but he's a prick and that is the greater sin.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Yes, but he's a prick and that is the greater sin.

I struggle to decide whether that is worse than his inability to form an independent thought. He's either 6 months late to the party or parroting champion data/ someone else he doesn't understand

*'s mouthpiece, HUN https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...g/news-story/d51211bf67db3948ae033cc0303212a7

• putting heat on Brad Scott 6 weeks left to prove himself else * may be turfed... so the coaching finding wars begin
• Voss on last legs ("just hasn't worked")
• Cripps should be traded... "Carlton looks like it is no longer the best fit for the warrior onballer considering the ease at which the opposition powers away from the stoppage after half time."

Matthew Lloyd also showed footage of the last quarter on the Sunday Footy Show, same thing.
Aints run it end to end while our blokes are having a stroll in the park.

Kings take is everything we’ve been saying on here for years….

We rely so much on mid dominance and locking the ball in our forward half once we win it…. You take that away and it’s almost as if the players don’t know what to do.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I’m fairly certain Ken Hinkley was the “well-regarded football person based west of Ikon Park” that Jimmy Bartel referenced on his podcast with Eddie McGuire today, regarding meetings and feelers about a coaching role while Graham Wright was in Adelaide.

Bartel is close with Hinkley, he and did catch up with CD and Wright during Gather Round.

Otherwise, it could’ve been James Kelly

… but Bartel quickly ruled that out by noting Geelong is south of Ikon Park.
