I came across the original post and glad I came across this reply. I was at the game and didn’t get a clear sense of what happened in the ruck battle and took the OP’s take at face value. Thanks for clarifying.

Remember when we were so excited at our new mids SPS, Dow and LoB? But then they’d play and earn 12 touches.
Hollands is readymade and still has so much ahead of him. He and Walsh together will outrun any opposition on the outside, but also have the heart to put themselves over the ball when...
The Gestalt principle: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
While we’re all very happy with the wins, the whole (winning) is not greater than sum of our parts because they are too problematic (players not being able to run out games, getting out coached, players mental fortitude to...
I’ve always wondered about this and been very confused when people don’t take this into account. The media never mentions it either which doesn’t help the negative narrative blasting players who don’t earn their salary when perennially injured.
There’s always posts like ‘Can’t believe we pay $X...
Does this mean you're pencilling Cerra in at HBF?
All jokes aside though, I agree that Stocker definitely offers grunt. I hope to see Stock in the middle too, but happy with him in defence if he's happy there
Watching Cerra highlights, his positioning reminds me of Murphy. Prefers to be in a bit of space, classy, good ball user, loves to deliver inside 50. Doesn't mind tackling, but doesn't seem very hard edge.
Don't think he's the answer to all our problems, but would be very happy to have him for...
I'd rather coax him out of retirement and get him into that small lockdown defender we're crying out for!
I'm certainly think he'd make a good addition to a coaching line up, but surely we'd be weary of his experience and how he fits into our coaching mix. Would want to have others signed on...
I was interested to see they closed that market too, even more so it's reopened.
With the rumours there's potentially a 'tiered' coaching structure (let's not call it a succession plan guys...), I wonder if Sportsbet will be able to renege on bets because they've said 'A caretaker, interim, or...
I have been curious to know exactly what the role does, so thank you for this.
Does anyone know if there an organisation chart that visually displays who reports into who for what roles. So entities like the board, Pres, HOF, CEO, coaches, recruiting/list manager etc? I've seen on the Carlton...
Only managed to get through the first half of this newly rolled over thread, but has anyone wondered if the recent conflicting rumours have been put out in order to expose a leak at the club?
Hoping to watch the first quarter before I have a dinner booking at 8:15pm. Usually I don’t like to spoil the result before getting to watch the replay. But figure I’ll have to to find out if Charlie makes it through unscathed!
The footy gods have shat all over Carlton for my entire Blues...
What's going on here? I'm used to a much more irrational level of conversation going on in this forum!
I want Dangerfield's blood this Saturday. Also I'll never forget Menagola stepping on Sam Rowe's head 'accidentally' a few years ago – got away without a fine as well! Typical sHocking call...
Really insightful, thanks CJMB.
While you say you have no idea what's actually in there, is your answer based off some insight into player contracts? Or just some good judgement?
I always read posters lamenting about how they can’t believe Player X is on $XXXk a year and is always injured therefore taking up so much of our salary cap.
But surely it’s written into players contracts that they are paid significantly less during periods of injury?
Gov has played 30 odd...
Well said, a few posters making less than useful comments in this thread.
Cotts came in last week and played on the wing, brought strong defensive running and helped out our structure a lot. He’s still in so will play the same role and Setters will get a chance to show his wares in the middle...
Hey sports fans, I planned to go to the game with my mum today (who’s a cats fan), but unfortunately she can’t come. Just throwing it up here in case there’s any fans who want to go to the game but don’t have a ticket.
It’s an MCC guest pass, Level 1 M49 row AA (just under the roof line)...
Only at 34 pages here, so I thought I'd keep the thread ticking along.
Was at the game and just got a chance to watch the replay. Here's my two cents:
My goodness gracious the umpires must be so happy with the new stand on the mark rule. As if there was enough chances already for them to...
