Sydney don't seem to have an issue wearing red.
The fact is with 18 teams and only a certain number of colours available, clashes are inevitable. And things like Collingwood and West Coast changing their jumpers 10 years ago from a lighter colour to a darker arrangement hasn't helped either.
I...
I think what's happened with Adelaide is quite alarming, fortunately for Trigg most of the heavy lifting has already been completed at Carlton regarding turning a former power into an also ran. This isn't a go at Swann, it's just quite clearly a pattern of decisions over the last 25 seasons that...
As others have mentioned.. It's just too hard not to see this as another in a long list of mediocre decisions.
I have never seen a CEO of a football club cheered out of town like this with the Adelaide supporters right now. The last thing we need right now is another person in leadership so out...
A bit embarrassed by some of the Carlton fans in here attempting to deflect with nonsense.
Just another very very questionable decision from the club. All the more staggering considering we are attempting to navigate our way to the MCG and Trigg's record with the AAMI Stadium deal & the dog's...
I've always felt the ideal set-up should roughly be
7:45 Friday - Seven
1:10 Saturday - Fox
2:10 Saturday - Fox
4:10 Saturday - Fox (Super Saturday package for Foxtel so to speak, can't imagine Saturday afternoon provides 7 with anything meaningful)
7:10 Saturday - Seven & Fox (2 games)
1:10...
I remember there being one with wooden spoons stuffed into a cup with the tagline "Proud of our history"
Have spent the last 3 years searching for it, like the poster above wish I had saved it.
If anyone has the Ross Lyon "You're Retired" pic as well that would be hugely appreciated.
Geelong made the tough call to stay in Geelong despite those pressures from AFL House to play at Etihad and are now being rewarded. Carlton opted for the 6/5 split and our reward is writing cheques back to the stadium when 29,000 people (really not a small number if you think about it) show up...
A lot of mistakes have been made with Princes Park over the last 20 years. I think spending all the money on a grandstand at that end of the ground was a mistake. Had they started with renovating the western end of the ground I think we would still be playing there today - Geelong still has...
Does anyone know what the prices have been for AFL Membership over the last few years? Seems to me they have risen extraordinarily, but I can't seem to find anything to back that up.
I think in fairness to Carlton supporters it's a very sleepy timeslot for a home game, as oppossed to the travelling Port fans who look like they'd been frothing on at the Grand Prix all day (huge generalisation, but I was there - it was diehards only)
The fact is it is too early in the year...
As an accountant I feel I need to point out that paying down debt doesn't affect our profit for the year, and given football clubs are mostly cash operations I can't see how we would have touched our debt in the last two years given the results ($750k loss and $300k profit). In fact it's...
I read it as the club having lost $450k over the previous two years combined - I guess we might have to wait until the club officially releases some more information or the full reports before making our own judgements.
Carlton is set to announce a big profit and sponsorship extension
To be honest I thought we would be seeing a better result due to the pokies (however you feel about them) this year?
And great news about Hyundai extending their sponsorship :thumbsu:
I wonder if the Etihad tennants will see any additional benefit from the 25 years of pain at that place when the AFL assumes ownership?
(By the way I only randomly selected the Dogs, the point is pro-merger people are happy to suggest a merger til they're club is the one involved)
I agree. Let's start with merging Essendon and the Western Bulldogs. It's the least we could do after the rubbish that club put the competition through this year.
Or we could give all 18 clubs an equal run at the fixture and FTA television...
Mathematically speaking, how many different draft years are in the top 20? 8 years worth perhaps, so I would say he is worth between pick 2 and pick 3. ;)
That too.. While not in the class of "What could have been? miracle talent", I think injuries & the occasional brain snap have robbed him of what could have been a very good Carlton career.
They way we're going right now Carlton 2014+ is going to look a lot like Melbourne 2008-2013 or even Carlton 2002-07.
Whether we tanked or not is questionable, but I don't think the club was particularly fussed we lost those last few games. And I think with the benefit of hindsight (although...

Crowd numbers, crowd split and result will be the exact reverse of this game. How things change in two years...
Given there's 18 teams and 50 players (roughly two and a half players per club), I'm always surprised when posters cry foul that six players from their team aren't included in someone's top 50
I think the state of Australian cricket is probably the perfect example of this. The game couldn't be worse-administered, the national team is the worst in some time and the game is less popular than it's been in my lifetime. However the fact that it is basically the only thing people watch on...
Gun player, would walk in on a red carpet to every other club in the league.
Tedious complaint but why is SUNS capitalised? When I read it I feel like it should be an acronym.
