One of my best mates is a Canadian who I converted to a Carlton supporter when he moved to Oz. He has pretty much religiously watched every game since I converted him. I’ve since apologised. I don’t know how but he still somehow loves it! He is a Canuck so might be a sucker for pain. His main...

Can’t help but feel we’ve recruited a team which would have dominated the 90’s. You can have slow players, ideally not an entire team, but get away with it with speed of ball movement. You can’t have slow ball movement and slow leg speed. Surely the players aren’t playing how they’re being...

Gotta admit I find Cerra a bit tentative/lacking desperation. Bad move in my view. Will he improve our midfield? Yes. Is he the type of player we need? If the trade goes through I hope to be proven wrong but I don’t think he is. Fwiw if he was a pick 25 with the same output up till now I think...

I'm with ya. If the players don't like it they can find a new home as far as I'm concerned.

Typical performance. Must win against an easy beat and we utensil it up…again. At a guess I’d say that’s about 6 times in the last 2 seasons. Pissed off but not surprised coz it’s what we do. Something which has stood out the last few weeks is the midfield intent. Vs north we let their midfield...

I'm not a fan of co-captains. It's weak in my opinion. To me co-captains in a way symbolises why after all these years we're in the position we find ourselves in. Did the administration honestly believe that co-captains was the strongest/best decision moving forward? Or did the administration...

Just remind me where did Carlton finish when Fev won the Coleman in 2006? Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

I would like to know what the non-negotiables are and if broken how often the player in Q actually gets held to account. As an outsider looking in I feel like the coaches/leaders are not hard enough on setting standards. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Well, you’ve successfully convinced me that we’re screaming out for a small forward... Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

For what it’s worth, the only reason I can’t see Saad being re-signed is if they can upgrade him to Williams. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

All I can say is thank Christ for that if you’re considering Saad... Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

That is absolute insanity. Saad is a mediocre player in a mediocre team. I’d argue Williams is top 3-5 most important players at GWS in what has been a team which has challenged. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

I agree with this. I’d argue that he and Simpson are getting games/still on the list through sentiment as opposed to output. You don’t build a culture of success on sentiment. Imo Daisy was playing better than Simmo last season. We chose to keep the 300+ gamer rather than the player who was...

I was the same. The combination of jumping up from the couch and screaming really did a number on the blood flow to the ol' noggin. Had to take a seat as I thought I was goin' down! How Bloody Good Was That! As Newnes was lining up I was thinking 'it's not too dissimilar to his goal in rd 1'...

Well, what a difference a week makes. H got out marked once from memory and was visibly disappointed in his effort. He ran, chased, tackled and had presence! Geez it makes a difference to our forward line when he's up and about.

SOS did didn't he? Pretty sure Butler was tossing up between Carlton and Saints and chose Saints.

One thing (there were a few) which I think we struggled with tonight was getting the pill into the hands of the good users of the ball when exiting defence. I haven't re-watched but during the match it seemed as though at attacking moments we were forced into using Newnes, Plow, Ed, Walsh, Jones...

I really really hope my concerns are unwarranted but I have concerns for H. I know he's missed a lot of footy and is on the younger side for a key position forward. It's a case of the expectation not equalling the output. To put it bluntly IMO he has to be just about the weakest 200cm 100kg...

I like how he gives himself a clap. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

This isn’t entirely relevant to this thread however I’m heading down to Melb this weekend from northern nsw to go watch the mighty blues before the season ends and was wondering if anyone knows if there are any shops in Melb which stock the ‘Fibre of Football’ woollen gear or if they sell the...

I think a few on here don’t realise how good McGovern is. They’re in for quite the surprise next year. Harry, Charlie and Mitch are all strong marks, quick and agile for their size and more often than not reliable kicks...more reliable than what we’ve had up there in recent times anyway. It...

Have to admit sat night was the first game I have seen absolutely none of in as long as I can remember - had commitments, haven’t given up! Yeh, Weiters is out of sorts and the back 6 is under siege but surely the midfield has to take a fair bit of the blame? No one in their right mind would...

i work weekends so don't get to see heaps of our games live (what are the chances that we play GC on Splendour weekend?...busiest weekend of the year where I work so cant get it off!) but see what i can. Do have a habit of changing the TV's at work from NRL to fox footy tho as Carlton comes...

Cats or swans. Not often you get a team as dominant as cats have been the last few years be as likeable as they are. Would love the cats to roll the hawks and get some revenge when it counts for 08. Can't stand hawks!

Thanks Aphrodite. GC website...good thinking!

can anyone shed some light on the ticketing situation at Mertricon? The range for ticket prices on Ticketmaster is $22.50 to $60.00 but the cheapest tickets available on ticketmaster are $38.50 which is for a reserved seat. i find it hard to believe that the $22.50 tix have sold out. Is it...

without him, boston would not have made it to the final! agree on the Van fans tho. spoke to a van friend after game 3 or 4...for 1, she was confident of a game 7 win, for 2, if they were to lose, she was pretty confident that there wouldnt be riots like 94 and wanted me to make the trip to van...
