    Coach Teague in or out?

    Biting the bullet and starting a poll. It’s time we see how everyone is feeling. Does he just need more time to learn on the job? Or has he had enough time and needs to go?

    Prediction Whose progress are you most excited to see kick on next year

    We saw a lot of our players really take a big step this year, but who are you most excited to see continue to progress next year? For me it’s JSOS, all Carlton supporters love a Silvagni. I was nervous by the amount of criticism and doubt supporters had with him at the start of the year and it...

    Toast Mad about Harry

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... this guy is gonna be every bit as good as Charlie if not better! It’s gonna be seriously fun to watch these twin towers once they both realise their potential! His pack marking and athleticism is something to behold!

    Toast Thank you Murph!

    I don't think theres been enough love for Murph going on in the new Co-Captains thread or on this board. IMO Murph has done an excellent job through an incredibly tough time. We didn't have any standout leaders, and Murph grew into the role through hard work and his devotion to the club. He was...

    Prediction Assistant Coaches 2019

    With Andy Mackay already going, I think theres going to be a big clean out in the Assistant coaching ranks come 2019. Our current set up is http://www.carltonfc.com.au/footy/coaching-panel I think we could see up to 3-4 changes next year with likely departures of; Jon Barker - Head of Strategy...

    Sliding rule

    This rule has bothered me since it was introduced but its actually starting to ruin the game for me. The rule was introduced to prevent someone sliding legs first which may cause a broken leg, which was an overreaction in the first place as we only had 2 broken legs in 100 years of football but...

    Opinion Jack Silvagni criticism unfair!

    I just want to get peoples opinion on this but i think the criticism that JSOS is copping atm is unfair. IMO Jack has probably bar wright been our best forward over the last 3 years since he debuted. For a 20yo forward who was projected to take a while to develop, i think he has shown more than...

    Next Captain of Carlton

    Now that the 2016 season has drawn to a close and the main contenders of Cripps, Docherty and Weitering have had another year of experience under their belt. Who stands out as the one who will next be a Captain of the Carlton Football Club? The 3 i have mentioned, i believe are the strongest...

    Ross Lyon and his inability to give youth a go

    I heard this topic being discussed on SEN radio while driving home from work last night, and it was quite interesting. The topic of discussion was that Ross Lyon while a very good coach, doesnt seem to invest to much into youth. The hosts stated he has hit set 25 or so players and very rarely...

    Past Daniel Gorringe

    http://m.afl.com.au/news/2015-11-09/blues-boost-ruck-stocks-with-delisted-free-agent-gorringe Very excited to see if this guy can put it all together. Extremely athletic tall, who hopefully is a late bloomer. Talls usually take longer to develop. Is very much a low risk/high reward opportunity

    The Bont Vs Cripps

    Here's hoping these two young guns go head to head this weekend. Two of the best young bulls in the comp, the prototype for the modern day midfielder. Will be the first of many battles these 2 have in future.

    Next Assistant in line for a Head Coaching Position

    With the possibility of a few coaches getting the sack in 2015 (ie. Malthouse & Hardwick) which Assistants do you think are next in line for a Senior Coaching Position. Who are the best Assistants at your club? In my opinion Leigh Tudor is next in line. Has been involved with St Kilda...

    Father Son Bidding System

    Is this new system going to be introduced? I havent heard anything for a while. I for one am completely against it. I think the AFL has it right at the moment. Sure once in a while a club might get a bargain (eg. Joe Danniher) but thats completely luck. I dont think the system should be changed...

    Crows star Rory Sloane calls for loyalty scheme for one-club players

    http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/crows-star-rory-sloane-calls-for-loyalty-scheme-for-oneclub-players-20150220-13kdwy.html I really like this idea and think it can definately help with the problem we are now facing with Free Agency where there is close to no loyalty left in footy. Some...

    Toast Cameron Wood

    Put in a very good effort first up against one of the top 3 ruckman in the league. Took some solid marks around the ground, provided some spread and a target to kick to, and kicked a good goal and missed another. While Goldstein was the better ruckman on the ground in my opinion, Wood had a...

    Patrick Dangerfield will go down as one of the great player of our time

    I know its a huge rap on a bloke who is still plying his trade and is only really just starting to break into that Super Elite sort of player in the competition. The great players who go down in History that people remember are the ones that stand up when their team need them to. When the...

    Roast Welcome to Carlton Luke Williams ... See ya later Luke Williams

    Suprised there is not a thread up already about this! This is big news! Carton has signed Geelong's Recruiting Manager Stephen Well's second in charge Luke Williams! He served under Wells (best recruiter in the league) for 14 years! Surely he's learnt something off the great man! Hopefully this...

    Whats up with Jack Trengove?

    Not having a stab at the bloke or club, but jeez he looks a shadow of his former self. Giving him the captaincy i think was a big mistake for a kid still trying to prove himself. Watching him the last 2 years it looks like hes stagnated if anything hes gone backwards. I hope he regains some...

    Which 2012 Draftee has the most potential?

    That time of year when football is winding down so just thought id bring this up as i was very interested to hear peoples opinions. Whether theyve been hampered by injuries, are a late bloomer, havent fully developed or just havent fully commited themselves as a footballer yet, i just wanted...

    Toast Kade Simpson you are the heart and soul of this footy club!

    Just when you thought you couldnt love this bloke anymore, he does something like that. For a bloke that size with that lightly built thirteen year old boy frame he is the most courageous bloke in the AFL. He is the heart and soul of this footy team, and bleeds absolute blue! Should be captain...

    2 things ive learnt from the 1st quarter vs Ess

    two things ive seen watching the 1st quarter on tv. 1. Monfries is the biggest diver in the AFL, as soon as he gets near the ball out in front on his opponets, he straight away falls to the ground in an attempt to make it look like a push in the back. absolute disgrace, he should be playing in...

    Toast Mitch Robinson definition of courage

    How can you not love this guy, the way he throws his body in and does the one percenters. I hope Ratten sticks with him this year instead of moving him in and out of the side like last year. He has the ability to lift the team by doing something special. He was excellent tonight with the way...

    Trade Week a failure - NO KPP attained

    I think our trade week was a failure, we did not obtain that KPP that we desperately need for our team to go forward. We also shoulda traded Jacobs earlier in the week for Adelaides Bock Compo. I think laidler will be a handy pickup to play that Quarterback role at half back allowing Gibbs to...

    Tony Notte

    Is not being offered a new contract by WCE, he was involved in the Judd trade with WCE picking him up with pick 20. Definately has potential to be a KPF, has some very sticky hands and can take a mark. Problem is he is very skinny, he was 78 when drafted 3 years ago and now is around 88kg...

    Toast Chris Judds 3rd Quarter

    Was that just the best 3rd quarter you've seen someone play?? It was beautiful to see judd bursting through packs like he used to, and haters say hes lost his leg speed. Hopefully with Mclean coming back from injury and Hadley also in the team we can free up Judd more next year. But well...
