P.O.T.W.

classic!

 

[Robbo's my hero]

After all this time you'd think someone might have explained to him that he's supposed to take the ball in his hands. If I was Bolton I'd say every time you try and take a chest mark that's another 2 weeks in the VFL.

Another skill of the game consigned to the dustbin.

 

[passmark]

Would rather my weekends ruined on a Sunday rather than before it starts.

Yeah, it's great.

Sending the club down the toilet but you're ok.

Carlton to have no Friday night games next season

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...-in-the-timeslot/story-fnp04d70-1227583090526

This is possibly the best news for all of us who enjoy football without all the dickheads who only turn up on a Friday night. This could be turned into a plus if handled in the right way.

 

[Space Cadet]

But at least we have our two top scorers Everitt (31) and Casboult (24) still at the club

Walker managed 11 goals in the last 4 games when played forward. Still our most dangerous forward even with an apparently bung knee.

 

[Funk]

In order to mark a ball one must lift both arms high...

I read that in a book somewhere once.

The last time I lifted both arms high - the man in front of me was a U.S. Policeman with a gun!

 

[Faz 2000]

Honestly, fair enough on Friday nights. We stunk it up this year... the networks paid billions and seeing us 8 goals down at quarter time was not what they had in mind.

We remain relevant despite our on-field performance being somewhere between pathetic and tragic.

But we'll be back. And we'll come back in a big way. And we will tell everyone about it, and that's OK.

 

[Jimmae]

Jones is not much of a scoring threat.

He's a scoreboard threat alright: he's a threat to our score.

 

[jimsta10]

Lucky for us we open the season on a Thursday night with Bitchmond.

 

[T2B_]

Will be nice not being embarrassed on a Friday night. Literally ruined quite a few starts to the weekend.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Losing? I don't have a preference at any time.

You're obviously white. You'd be dead now otherwise.

I tend to agree. Let's hope Walks can stay on the park for another 12 months to provide some experience and goal scoring ability. Play Casboult and Jaksch/?? as our tall forwards and Everitt as a mobile utility. Resting mids up forward like Gibbs, Murphy, Sumner, Cripps, Thomas and Kerridge should also provide some goals.

My exact thoughts. Too many idiots turn up at Friday night games with a 'skinful' as a result of having spent the afternoon priming themselves.

 

[thylacine60]

Yep. Hopefully Bolts will be cracking down on that shit.

 

[RAPPA]

You're obviously white. You'd be dead now otherwise.

Unfortunately, they don't need to lift their arms to be shot.

 

[Dramoth]

Football is a Saturday afternoon affair.

**** yeah... just so long as they pricks don't start scheduling us for Monday ****ing nights.

Instead of showing up at 2:30 on a Saturday arvo after spending 2 hours in Y&J

ahh chloe... who needs king st when you have chloe.

 

[thylacine60]

It is one of them modern new fangled game plan thingys.

Wait, so rather than run about chaotically, bumping into each other and falling down repeatedly, there is the option for a systematic plan for progressing the ball toward our goal? Why are only certain teams allowed to instigate this helpful routine?

 

[HBF]

That's true. Hopefully they had a few solid games in the VFL that I didn't hear about, something they can build on in 2016.

Certainly had a couple of good games in the VFL last year that I saw. He can play. Just gotta get more games under his belt.

 

[The Facepainter]

I hope when we are performing well again and the AFL come knocking with the line "oh please come back and play on Friday nights" we say "that's ok as we are happy on Saturdays and up yours"

We are Carlton **** the rest.

 

[carltonfc01]

Bit of an over reaction by the afl. Honestly can't see where we will lose a game next year.

Sounds like unless you have Foxtel, you may not be able to see (on TV) Carlton lose a game all year...

 

[BluesRule]

The Calton dilemma -
1. sign up for Foxtel to take your medicine at home in 2016 or
2. take the cheap option and buy a CFC membership risking public embarrassment at matches
