Carlton winning is a good thing - might bugger their pursuit of Walker

It’s best they don’t finish bottom 2 as Twomey pointed out earlier. So getting some wins is actually good as it means they can only get Walker and nobody else

There'll be a few sore heads tomorrow among the Carlolton fans.

 

[Knoxy]

Ah well, at least Fraser winning his first game makes Voss look worse.

 

[gouki88]

Going at 50% DE, and only 1 clearance to 3 quarter time. Nonetheless, he will still be awarded 3 brownlow votes by default.

Question is, how when he's playing against Cripps?

I more meant to query the implication - Bontempelli having not won a Brownlow medal is a pisstake, how is there some stereotype about him getting votes by default?

First #1 draft pick to coach a VFL/AFL match. And now first to win one.

Blues can thank us for the win

 

[thebaldfacts]

Congratulations Josh on your first win as interim coach.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Poor Josh better not win too many more or they might convince him to stay.

He's already said he's not interested in the job.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

Probably better for us that the Dogs lost. Still a Poor job by Agent Fraser though.

Norf look like they're back to being shit. Couldn't get Adelaide on a better day

Don't sleep on the Crows. They had heaps out early in the year and Rankine on management loads due to coming back from a preseason hammy. They'll win a lot of games from here.

Imagine they make the finals under Josh and they offer him the gig. But still rejects the job

Plus the off-field stuff too with Dawson and Keane. Very tough start to their year

You know you're a shit club when not even the assistant you appoint for his first ever AFL senior coaching gig wants the job.

Proper poisoned chalice territory there. Insufficient top end talent, stars all either peaked and declining or plateaued, and only a couple of really solid young pieces.

I think they've done well to get themselves into a strong position to launch from.

And at a club with fantasitc expectation.

 

[nickyds35]

Think they should rest him in a couple of weeks.

Hopefully Melbourne run him off his feet this week, then he rests off a 6 day break against us.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Bont does look sore that’s what happens playing at marvel Carlton fans up and about

 

[Sea fog]

Not unhappy they won. If they finish bottom they can nab Cody Walker and another player with their 2 1st rounders. If they do not, some other club will bid and they will only get him.

 

[SuperSteele22]

He's already said he's not interested in the job.

Probably a smart move on his part. How many times have we seen a bloke come in as interim coach, put it on the record that he's interested in getting the gig full time, getting overlooked and then never getting another look in again

the biggest coach killer ever.
Plays like a busted you know what for a few games leading up to the sacking of the coach and then produces the game for the ages when the caretaker or a new coach takes over.
Every. Single. Time.

"Death. Taxes. Crippa putting in a blinder after a sacking"

God knows, he’s had plenty of practice at it. Fraser is his sixth senior coach?

He doesn't mean it - it's just standard fluctuation in form interpersed with numerous coach departures - no statistical significance can be attached to these events

With Hawthorn losing to the Dees, I present the below without comment (besides the obvious caveat that there’s a lot of nuance ignored):
