This game should be boycotted by all fans.

Send a message to the club that the nonsense they are peddling will not be tolerated any longer.

There are 17 failures and 1 success each year.

Until that message is ingrained in their thick skulls from top to bottom they deserve no support whatsoever.

 

[Keyza]

Not confident or excited to head to the game tonight..but I'll be there. Please Voss & Co. and boys, find a way to get the win!

I will be there too.
We have had the heat piled on us all week so we will see how the players respond.

 

[Accidental genius]

No VFL game for us this week?

I'm with ya 100%!!!

And even better, all fans from the all of the 17 failure clubs should boycott all of their team's games for the rest of the year.

Now, can you tell us which team will be the success this year so the rest of us can start planning other stuff to do on game day?

Guess I wont see you there then.
Better yet lets send a message that the fans are behind them through thick and thin.
Think you're up for that ........................wellllll?

Our VFL side is playing the curtain-raiser for the match tonight, against the kids in this year's draft.

We're playing the AFL Academy team at 4.10 today before the main game, being streamed live on the AFL website.

On a side note, Jack Martin has been named in our VFL side....he's #21 for those who may have forgotten.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Maybe make up a placard and pace up and down outside the entry.

I mean if you are going to be a d!ck you may as well ensure that everyone is aware if it not just us lucky few on this board.

Pure gold mate.....

Chin is up, just how I see these two.

I don't think they'll be on the list long term. We'll see. I definitely don't rate Cottrell like some on here.

Cottrell admittedly has lasted longer than I thought he would but will always be on the verge of being dropped at best. No real weapons and his ordinary games are bad games (like alot of our fringe players)

Cincotta, early days has been ok, but still think he'd be doing well to still be on the list in 3 years time

On CPH2005 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Frump, I believe you are selling Cotters short.
Not the most skilful yes.
Yet, what he does have is a terrific passion to play for Carlton and a drastic desire to be the best he can be.
You can see it every time he plays, he runs himself ragged. Yet, he rarely misses a set shot.
As for Cinc, very early day's.
He is still attempting to adapt to the tempo of senior footy. But, he just looks like he is a ready made role-player to me.
Has clean hands, has a bit of burst and seems to not mind the physical stuff as well.
I reckon both will go on to play 200 games for us and be apart of our next premiership team.

So one less attendee, one less member

I am sure you will be missed

I seen last weeks game so differently to most. We were actually pretty good in most areas, most of the game. Where we lost the game was just poor execution, which slowly zapped our confidence to keep going. Extraordinarily, they scored 85 of their 100 point FROM OUR TURNOVERS! EIGHTY FIVE POINTS!! We handed them an easy win.

As much as the media wants to call for radical game plan changes, the reality is we are still good in a lot of areas. Voss is building us for strong, contested, brutal footy that will stand up in finals. But, like most teams are doing in the early part of this season, it's time to loosen the shackles and go for it and accept we'll give up some easy scores from turnover (as we are clearly good at doing so anyway!).

The best commentary all week I thought that actually made a lot of sense was On The Couch from Gary Lion who called for us the weaponise Charlie and let him play the Cameron role while H stays closer to goal for his contested marking abilities in the Hawkins role. Even if H misses some sitters, it just makes perfect sense to me as a better setup. Quicker ball movement thrown into the mix and immediately our game plan suddenly starts coming together.

I feel sorry for the Dogs playing us this week. Go Blues!!

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

6 and a half hours now from the first bounce. I am starting to get excited.
This has to be the day we show something, surely we can put up a decent performance tonight.
Walshy, time for you to shine and I think he will.
Kennedy, he totally deserves to be back in the starting eighteen. Will be set for a big one.
Owies, great inclusion, think we need him to kick three tonight.
Vossy, time to take the handbrake off and let the boy's play with a little more freedom.

What is a Jack Martin?

 

[Neese]

You will always find him in the kitchen at parties

Go Blues. I am working with a Bulldogs supporter tomorrow so I want the team to win big time

Yea great show of support for a team that need all the support they can get externally right now.

We are ******* 4-3 mate. Positive ledger. Its Round 9 ffs. We are only 1.5 games worse than last season

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Fortunately last week’s performance finally crushed that pesky little optimistic me and now only jaded world weary me will watch the game, stone faced, the years of anguish etched in my face.the outcome almost unimportant.

Go blues!

If this group get some luck and fight every game..scrape into 8
Good old days are gone.....out of luck,we need more depth anyway,yep another good mid and a proper small forward ,if martin stays injured
our list full of long term injuries plus some liabilities.....otherwise easily make 8...its the list

 

[Aphrodite]

Boycotting games now.


Seriously!
