Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

C4. Soapy. Wickzki. Yazz. One or two others. Yes.

Everyone else. Grain of salt.

 

[Aphrodite]

Aaaaaannnd my source has come back confirming it was a bullshit report.

Nvm gang

You need a new 'source'

Would you like to borrow mine

 

[carlton_99]

Can we delete the initial rumour? That was not a fun first post to see.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I suspect they plan on playing TDK forward more but his best goal tally for a season is 9.

Hahaha yeah, good luck with that...

C4 & Soapy, I'd add, but they're also regular posters and I'd be getting email notifications all day.

 

[Sector 7G]

They traded Heath out who was one of their backup rucks.

If TDK goes down they would be stuffed.

I think the plan is to use Marshall forward more, they can't rely on King next year.

Won't work though, Marshall has only kicked 15 goals in a season I think.

They have Dodson who was the best ruck in last years draft and was dominating VFL before a couple of games at the end of the season and looked really promising. We should put an offer in front of him for 2026. He would have been the perfect replacement for Marshall in 3 years time and they would be saving 1.8m per year

I forgot most of those names, but yeah, much more than “one or two” others. Basically the Gold standard of ITK’s.

 

[TrueQldBlue]

More likely pussies.

No Boak was always a Carlton person and wished he was drafted by the Blues at the time but it wasn't to be...

Forty3 cancelled his acc

As for barass70, no longer posts on our Board

 

[TrueQldBlue]

Nope. They wanted to use the return from the Simpkin trade.

So, they basically wanted the Pies F1 for him.

It would have been F1(North) + F1(Pies) + 27F1(North).

I would have taken that.

No thanks...we got Hayward as well in the deal....MUCH BETTER OFF ....

I forgot about Ockams razor...he had good Intel last year...

That’s a shame about Forty3. I hope it was more to do with the poster no longer having a source connected to the club rather than being chased off.

barass70 definitely left because the poster didn’t have sources anymore.

Mainly posts on TC (Talking Carlton)

Reckon Forty3 is aph

Just couldnt handle two accounts anymore while being a mod too

Ok, just knew he was from the surf coast.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Can't believe we're back to blaming supporters...

What a weak cop out.

Underperforming is the sole responsibility of the club... the players need to take ownership and stop looking at things to blame other than themselves.

We're not gonna sit there and sing Sweet Caroline while half the team can't be arsed chasing and applying pressure...

The basic standards were not being applied ffs... blame supporters... how weak and soft.

I blame Sweet Caroline for our half arsed efforts.

Lets replace it with Acca Dacca's 'You Shook Me All Night Long"(it might be an Eye Of The Tiger moment like in Rocky)

No love for Glicksy?

 

[KnaveyBlue]

With regards to feral supporters, every club has them unfortunately.

Been to many Sydney games and I can guarantee they're every bit as harsh as supporters from SA/Vic clubs.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Agree with most of the Charlie assessment, but our supporters are the worst in the league - entitled bullies, sooks and cowards who keep at the negativity and abuse long after the game is over. I wouldn't hang around for it (even without being on social media) it's a shocking vibe.

Message to all who think it's ok - take a breath and a long look in the mirror.

A bit of hyperbole here. How could you possibly know we are the worst supporters in the league? You are a supporter so are exposed to our supporters for the most part. You wouldn't have noticed the tens of thousands who leave a game disappointed, but quiet. You'd notice the vocal ones.

I'd never berate our players at games, but I'd give an honest appraisal on forums. I don't blame players who give their all, but aren't good enough. I'd blame those who keep selecting them.

All I expect from our players is they give a good account of themselves and work for each other. If they don't, that's on them and it is worthy of criticism. After that, I expect our coaches to develop the errors out of a player's game, or stop selecting them until they fix the problem or the player moves on.

Supporter pressure is all we have to get something to change. We all saw the problems last year, long before the club admitted there were issues.

Testing my memory here. Correct me if wrong, but this was last trade period, poster had a name change, and rumours were all rubbish?

Weird on saints side. Can't see Marshall getting a lot of game time and I thought pick 19 was a very fair offer

Has been reported that RTB is looking to play Marshall mainly forward.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

we need more 3rd/4th tall depth?...

Doggies played hard ball, otherwise Buku would be ours. He would have been very handy.

With the extra on the bench next year, I think the '2 ruck' thing will reappear.

It means you can go smaller across the ground and have the big guys rotating...

It may work out for them

It may not

Suspect they wanted to keep Marshall as King cover

Marshall will try again next year

Yeah but I think both Marshall and TDK like being the main ruck guys

Maybe unhappy times for Marshall next year as I'd imagine TDK will be favoured
