True re. Adams. That was a trade I hadn't expected. Think Swans got a solid deal there for Pies ex VC. Hope we're at least able to extract a F4 (at min) for Dow.

Agree with your assessment. It's unfortunate for Dow, but reality is he played 10 games for Blues this yr. 5 were as sub. Zero finals. Sad his time at Carlton has come to an end. Sometimes things don't work out as planned. Preferred if he'd gone to Swans. Appeared he'd already chosen Saints...

In isolation, I guess this makes sense. However, I trust Austin as he's playing the long game. Will GC want pick 25 in return for E. Hollands, + a potential later pick coming back Blues way? I get what you're both saying. Have no idea why Melbourne did what they did, just to move up 3 spots...

Good question. Can only think Austin is wanting to try and nab pick 8 from GEE - as has been mooted by some other posters. Pick 21 = 878 points Pick 25 = 756 points TOTAL = 1634 points Pick 8 = 1551 points Or Austin sees a couple of late smokeys end rd 1/early round 2 ??...

Not sure of the 2nd son, but the eldest Cody, looks to be 14. Maybe in Gr.9? Another 3 yrs of high school -perhaps?? Made All-Australian selection, at School Sports Australian under-15 National Championships this Aug. Cody attends St. Jospehs in Echuca. Look to have a great jnr AFL program...

"I picked a few winners," Ginnivan said. Supposedly was at track, with Pies "blessing" 🤷 “I’m not a basic footballer like everyone else, I’m allowed to live a life. I was home by 10pm and was on the waters. Everyone can make of it what they want, but I’m a f***ing premiership player,” Ginnivan...

Seriously, WTH?:triumph::rage::rage: In what other work place would you be allowed to do this crap and NOT get penalised? Or worse. Poor Saady. Is ANY part of the body sacrosanct at the highest level in this sport? Any?? Why is ANY of this being normalised? When's the RED card happening in AFL...

Wow what a season!! From being 15th at round 13. To finishing 3rd at season's end in a preliminary final interstate. Incredible. That's 12 spots ascension, or a 2/3rds ladder jump in a few short months. Phenomenal effort and accomplishment :hearteyes::hearteyes: Kudos and HUGE respect to all at...

It was Tom Sparrow. Thug. Remonstrates with Cerra. Walsh intervenes. Sparrow slings him head first into signage :mad::rage::triumph: Then Tom puts his hands up protesting total innocence. Umpire didn't report, yet was right nearby. Gave Walsh free kick. Demons are platinum grade hypocrites...

100%. He's a superstar. Plus, Tom has SSD (single sided deafness) in his left ear, so hears in mono. With no hearing aid, or cochlear, SSD means that Tom has difficulty localising sound. How he manages to play at this elite level, unaided, with that degree of hearing loss, is nothing short of...

Thanks for compiling list, but sweet baby cheeses, it's damning. 18 players :huh::( Nearly 1/2 of our playing list. Can see at least 6-9 of the above names retiring, or moving on at end of season.

Listening to Paolo on Blue Abroad YT FanCams tonight, his recommendation led me to this article. Thanks BB for posting it here, for BF posters. Damning of Sayers, the 'Sayers Group' and his wife's non-profit (NGO). IMO, Sayers needs to step down from the presidency. For the good of the club...

At least Kinnersley's CV appears a lot more transparent, than Priestley's. Three yrs ago, Robert received 'derivative' immunity by the ACCC, in a criminal cartel investigation. https://www.afr.com/companies/financial-services/rob-priestley-received-immunity-after-cartel-case-help-20200219-p542b5...

:100:. Appears to be very personal. IMO, doesn't paint Voss in a favourable light. At all. If Paddy's persona non grata, then part ways. Let Dow apply for mid season draft. Does anyone, with club/player intel, know if Dow's also on the outer with Blues teammates? Or is it just with Voss?

Totally agree. Craig slyly feeding private CFC board business to his wealthy uncle, whose living the cushy retirement life on the GC. Bruce then winds up and starts throwing grenades at the club. Mathieson's are toxic. Sooner the stench of their stinking disloyalty and dodgy dollaroos leave our...

Was thinking Craig Mathieson. Except he's been on CFC board since Oct '12. Only has another 18 months to go before his 12 yrs (max) as board member expire.

Yes. Patty Kinnersley & Robert Priestly. Announced early April '22. Priestly's ex CEO of JP Morgan.

Agree 100%. Since our bye last year (rnd 12. June 3-5, '22), Blues have played 20 games. Record 8-1-11. 8/20 games won = 40% winning percentage. Our next 5 games, Pies, Swans (away), Demons, *, Suns. Then the bye. Of teams currently in Top 8, we play Port (rnd 18), Pies (rnd 20), Saints (rnd...

100%. IMO, too many players made of paper mache - Marchbank, Cunners, Martin & Williams. Unavailable for large chunks, if not most of yr. IMO, too many conditional, flakey players and those whose AFL careers should have ended in '22 - Honey, Fogarty, Fisher, Ed, Plow, LOB. IMO, between...

Hope your Mum's back to better health very soon. Also, hope Blues get a win for her. And you.

Sorry Manhannite, IMO these women would be well aware of the ramifications of making false allegations against former HFC hierarchy. These women's allegations will also be corroborated by medical records. GP's don't perform these procedures. These women didn't take the morning after pill. I'm...

Blues have for most of past 20+ yrs left us supporters feeling heart broken, enraged and numb. In equal measure. For first time in so long this season '22 felt and was different. There was hope and joy and optimism. Until there wasn't. Yet again. A false dawn. Said to my husband post game...

This. Where's our tackling intent and ferocity? Amateur hr stuff. Who's Pies tackling coach? Compare their tackling style, commitment and effectiveness to ours. Night and day. And Pies tackle in #'s and waves. Swarming and pressuring their opponent/s.

Kicked 4 goals in 3 quarters of footy. In perfect conditions. Inexcusable. Auskick level performance. Hope last 2 weeks of deplorable, unacceptable and woeful team performances causes acute shame, humiliation and pain for every damn player. How many yrs of ineptitude, mediocrity and lack of...

Porque no los dos? Two things can be true at the same time 1./ IMO Blues have shown a consistent lack of mental fortitude for weeks now. Last time team played 4 decent consistent quarters - vs Freo?? Too much of a discrepancy between best and worst from this team. 2./ Bradburying into 8th...

Thanks TD2010. Not looking to upgrade. Happy just to get 4 GEN ADMIN seats (if we get there early enough). Am assuming if you're not in ground by approx. 7pm, you'll have no choice but Standing Room Area.

Do Standing Room Only tickets state that on ticket (SRO)?? We're GA members, haven't been to games since pre-Covid. Just got tickets thru app. All 4 tickets had SEC, Row + Seat #'s. I'm 🤞 this means tickets are truly GEN ADMIN. First it, first served, re. actual seats.

Ok, I'll bite. Am a Mum. My family's barracked for Carlton for 130+ yrs. I get the heightened passions and heated discussions re. our beloved club. Re. Caleb, I'm gutted for him. For me talk re. Marchbank's contract status is a case of time and place. IMO, this isn't it. Not on same day fans...
