Preview 2024 Rd 22 Carlton vs Hawthorn Sunday 11th August 1.10PM AEST @ MCG
Welcome! Welcome! One and all! To this ultimate extravaganza of an AFL game on a wintry Sunday arvo at the G. I was planning on writing this review post the Hawks game vs GWS this afternoon, but I think we have enough of a sample of the ticker of the 2 teams mindset, fitness, coaching for the... -
Toast Mike Fitzpatrick - HOF
Former Subiaco and Carlton ruckman Mike Fitzpatrick, a two-time premiership captain with the Blues and later a club director who also served as the chairman of the AFL Commission for a decade, was inducted. Was too young to have seen him at his best, but congratulations to our 2 time... -
Days Since Carlton won a final
It has come to this! What's good for the goose is good for the gander! Time to track and keep ourselves honest. 2757 days -

Is the spoon a possibility?
Although we've been playing some seemingly alright footy we're only one game off bottom of the ladder and also with a not too flash percentage. Considering our tough draw due to a top 6 finish last year we have a fight in our hands and it doesn't get easier with a rampaging GWS next, who if... -
I've figured it out.. our game plan!
Our last 3 wins have finally indicated to me what our game plan is... For the first half we just contain contain contain, wear the opposition out trying to kick goals and sure they'll go into half time with a lead (I think the idea is it not to be 4-5 goals) but they'll (opposition) will be... -
Is it over for Houlihan
Congrats on the 200 games... but being a fresh player after 3 tough gruelling quarters you'd think he'd have bobbed up a bit more than 1 possession. I just get the feeling with Russell, Carazzo, Twomey and even an out of sorts Curnow are ahead of him at the moment... I just can't see him... -
Toast Our improvement.
Well I know the current topic of choice seems to be trying to maintain our top4 position... but one thing that seems to have been overlooked after our awesome win over Essendon... We've now officially improved on last years H&A performance. Last year we had 11 wins.. and at the moment with... -
Rischitelli, Bradshaw and Brown = Trade Period 2010 will be a flop.
Now that clubs have witnessed the issues associated with either mentioning a players name for a potential trade or asking them if they're interested in being traded in the 2009 trade period and seeing the repercussions associated with Rischitelli, Bradshaw and Brown... One would think the...- jj1978

Freo V Carlton match review.
Game we should've won! How we crumbled in the middle half of the game I do not know or understand! Not good enough! Yarran... "what have you done for me lately???" just not ready... I still havn't witnessed any of this sublime kicking... always drops just short of his target. Eddie... -
Garlett round 19 NAB Rising Star Nomination
Well, finally one of our boys gets nominated... Lucas was stiff when he played earlier in the season so it's nice that our little man got nominated! Well done Garlett! http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4311/newsid/100003/default.aspx -
Let's all settle - still work to be done... and match review
I like us all am rapt that we responded and finally beat the Bombers after 6 attempts. We played a really good TEAM game and played for one another which was great. In saying that we still need 1 more win to seal a finals berth and Richmond, Geelong and Freo aint going to be pushovers... -
AGAIN results have saved our arses.
Funny to see that Sydney is being flogged again, Hawthorn has lost and by the end of the round we'll still maintain 7th spot. If you analyze the remaining draws for Carlton, Hawthorn, Sydney, Kangaroos and Adelaide it's actually frightening to see that each of these club should not win more... -

Ratten on the couch tonight 19/7/10
This is a must watch tonight for all of us Carlton faithful hoping for answers/enlightenment into our current predicament. I'm hoping Healy, Sheahan and Hird ask good questions and that Ratts answers them honestly and openly.... If fear he'll be very defensive tonight! -
Was Fev's demeanor really an issue?
Last few seasons when the team performed with no spirit, heart, gutts, we'd end up pointing the finger at Fev and saying because he dropped his head, chucked a tantrum etc etc etc... it prevented us from fighting back, playing with spirit.. yatta yatta (we all know how the story went). Now... -

Tonight was for top 4.. next week is now for our season.
Tonight it was 5th V 6th... fighting for a chance to make top 4! We miserably failed! Next week it's now 6th V 7th... fighting for a chance to make finals... and stamp some authority in the bottom half of the 8. Looking at the ladder our only threats outside the 8 atm are North and slimly... -
Questions now need to be asked from everyone!
End of 3rd quarter, game over... we are being spanked.. shamed.. and are playing pathetic. Now this is not an intended bashing thread, but seriously questions need to be asked all the way from the coaching panel to the players. Ratten, our forward line has been exposed quite a bit the last... -
Our finals destiny is now in our hands.
With the loss to Bulldogs this week and win to the Hawks the 3 of us are now fighting it out for clear 5th spot and perhaps a chance to sneak into the 4. We can thank Richmond for finally doing something in beating Sydney as well as Geelong returning to form with a win over North, leaving... -
Game Review - Carlton V Fremantle
Now where do I begin.... calm down JJ!!! There is a strong pattern emerging throughout our games.... it has something to do with lack of ticker/emotion... team-work?? We played pathetically and the 9 point margin flattered/masked some major issues concerning our team. Sure the loss of... -

We're a 4-2-1 team.
Over the year there seems to be a certain pattern emerging in our games. Over a 3 weeks period one week we are a 4 quarter team, another a 2 quarter team and another a 1 quarter team. Block 1: Richmond - 4 Brisbane - 2 Essendon - 1 Block 2: Adelaide - 2 Geelong - 4 Collingwood - 1 Block 3... -

Is there something more to Thornton's dropping?
Hi all, can't help but to wonder if Thornton's dropping this week has something more to it than just poor form for the year. Firstly without Waite and Bower playing this week I find it enormously ballsy to drop Thornton, so either Ratts will pull off a crazy stunt like the Albino did to us...
