    Competitions 2024 Carlton goal-kicking comp

    You know the drill, same as previous years. Pick a Carlton player each week to kick a goal. Keep your streak alive to stay in the comp. I won't be running it this year. Arr0w? If not, who do I need to bribe to rig my entries? Rules: You nominate one player each week to kick a goal If your...

    Injury Russell your feathers - discuss all things high performance; injury lists, Marvel surface, curse from the gods and Andrew Russell

    Hi peeps. The injury thread has been overtaken by discussion about our injury history, Andrew Russell debates and heated boxing matches between posters. That's all valid discussion, but IMO it has taken over the thread and it's become hard to actually track the injury updates (thank goodness...

    Preview Rnd 4 - Carlton v North Friday 7th April 4.20PM @ Marvel

    Sorry peeps, I didn't have time to do a proper (or on time) preview this week. Form We have been solid so far in 2023, without everything clicking into gear properly. North have been better than expected, and are 2-1 but also lost to the wooden spoon faves Hawthorn last week. Oooh, that felt...

    Meet Up BF Blues Melb catch-up 2023

    After hibernating for three years, I thought* that it would be nice for us to get together to collectively 'enjoy' the heart-pounding, stress-inducing, dopamine-generating, cardiologist-on-speed dial experience that is watching Carlton play AFL footy. So, throw away your trackies, trim your...

    Competitions 2022 Goal-kicking knock out comp thingy

    Due to underwhelming demand, the goal-kicking knockout comp is back. It's a great little comp that requires little effort to play, is lots of fun to play, doesn't last that long and has a safety net in case you forget to tip one week. Aim: Try and pick one Carlton player each week to kick a...

    Preview Rnd 7 - Carlton vs Essendon* Sunday 2 May 3:20PM @ MCG - Team Post #1104

    Both teams come into this match on the back of underwhelming, hot-and-cold form.....Well, warm-and-cold is probably more accurate. We (and the media) have talked about Carlton's start to the season ad nauseum. So, about *? Well, it's been quite similar to ours, actually. Two very lousy losses...

    I thought I'd set this up for 2021. I am a big fan of isolating the important posts from the inane waffle and lame puns from posters like ferr..... *ahem*. Anyways.... This beauty from Kreuz Control is a great way to kick things off: #TrackTalk

    Analysis Phantom draft consensus

    UPDATE (9-Dec) - I have updated the consensus with most of the recent phantoms/mocks. Every time I update it, another one drops somewhere. I've had to draw a line so that I get something out before draft night. Note this now incorporates 16 phantoms, most updated in the last couple of weeks...

    List Mgmt. List within a list 2.0 (players 25 and under)

    So, I ran a thread on this at the start of 2018 and thought it was time to revisit with a discussion of where our 'yoof' is at. How many young ones do we have? What positions do we have covered? Or not? What is the quality of what we have? What are we missing in our list demographic? Who is at...

    Unofficial Preview Plans for the bye

    A weekend without footy is against the Geneva Convention. Pretty sure.... Yet somehow we find ourselves without an AFL or VFL Blues match to follow. I'll be keeping myself busy (see poll options). How about you?

    Recommitted Max Lynch

    A couple of Carlton posters were at the recent Carl v Coll VFL game and were very impressed with Lynch. There's since been a little bit of chatter about him on our board. Can Collingwood (or other) supporters shed a little bit more light about his game, please. I think he's in the last year of...

    Opinion Half glass full? Half glass empty? Be careful the broken glass?

    The rough start to the season has put a lot of focus on the team; from fans, neutral supporters, the media and presumably within the club. The discussion about our season is making its way into every thread; game previews, autopsies, Bolton, list management, injury thread etc etc. I'd thought...

    List Mgmt. Thank you fellas - Lamb, Kerridge, Graham, Rowe delisted

    Article here Thank you to all four fellas. I feel disappointed for Rowe ending on 99 games. I guess Brad Fisher just got a new best friend. None of them were superstars, but gave their all for this club while on the list. All four I think are better quality than guys we have let go over...

    List Mgmt. Mature Age prospects 2018

    Confirmed by club: access to two state league players to either add to list or on-trade ahead of draft Reported that GC will get access to three state league players plus two extra Cat A rookie spots. I'd prefer if we kept this thread PP discussion free. The decision has been made; let's work...

    Preview RND 3 - Carlton v Collingwood - 7:50PM Friday 6th April @ MCG - Team - Post #980

    :carlton: v :collingwood: This is a hard match to preview, as for both teams there is much more at stake than individual wins and losses in 2018. For Carlton there is clearly focus on developing our youth; getting more games into the kids, adding an attacking element into the gameplan and...

    List Mgmt. List within a list (players under 25)

    I wrote a post yesterday that finished with a comment about our 'list within a list'. When I look at our list, first I see 40 senior players (ignoring rookies for now) but then within that I also see this list of young talent (26 players aged under 25). The consensus amongst Carlton fans...

    Telstra to offer refunds over AFL LIVE app screen size

    Possibly a lame thread, but I've seen a few before on this topic and lots of people seem to lose their s....tuff. So I thought I'd put out a public service announcement to let as many people as possible know that they might be able to get a refund. Good luck all. --------------- Telstra has...

    Will post a proper preview in time, but for now... Good guys VS bad guys* I'm praying for a win, but think it's best not to think about the probable outcome. So, instead... Charlie to mark everything and kick a few. McKay to back up last week with another solid display. Welcome back Marchy...
