Carlton in the Media (articles, podcasts etc) - Part 2 (cont. in Part 3)

[Funk]

When he got there he couldn't stand the stench of the joint and said ...**** this I'm going to the Blues..

And syringes everywhere.........

Plenty on social media.

For starters:-

Moronic analysis based on votes in losing teams. To counter that there is the "no one else taking votes away from him"

Flog Reiwoldt stated (words to the effect) last night on "OTC" that Cripps shouldn't win the Brownlow because "Carlton are so crap there's no-one else to get the ball"

Bob Skilton won 3 Brownlow Medals in pretty crap teams - 1963 South MELBOURNE only won 4 games.

Reiwoldt had the luxury of trying to win a Brownlow in both St Kilda crap teams and good teams and came up short, enjoy your retirement of “almost” Nick.

Lol, pretty sure Polson was running into open space hoping for the handball over the top (nothing wrong with creating an option).

Great Carlton Show episode, especially the snippet where apparently Ken Hinkley said we would be the most dangerous team in 2020

Great piece, but yikes

SPS currently holds the Club's consecutive games record

Tragic, Motley was a freak, before that accident

Byrne looks and moves a bit like Motts. Can only hope he can becomes a fraction as good

 

[Murphkreuzmitch]

Not saying that Cripps will win the Brownlow but GAJ won it back in 2013 and GC finished 14th.

GC had from memory 8 wins, we are a far cry from that.

Byrne had a bit more toe prior to doing his knee, but this is a pretty good call.

brilliant comparison

 

[Sector 7G]

brilliant comparison

Just need Byrne to take the 3 or 4 great things he does a game and do it 20 times and then we have Motts MK2

First time I read it I thought I was reading compared to Ricky Mott...

Implying that playing well in a crap team is easier than playing well in a good team - which is utterly preposterous.

Can't say I was a fan of how much they sniped Gold Coast as a city. The Team and its culture, sure. But the place... was a bit low. I've lived here since I was 8 and love it. Is it a great place to build a sporting franchise? Hell no - way too fair weather a fan-base. But it's a great place to live and heaps to do, laid-back lifestyle and amazing weather year-round.

They had me until that, but was a bit disappointed.

So, only the second most important player in the league?

I like that article...'all coaches but two voted, with Gawn getting 25% of the votes.'...so 4 coaches.

I get the cripps factor - but seriously - the clean-cut good looks? - I just don't need that.................

Deceptive. Get up close at ground and look at the stoppages and seems like a bully. In a good football way....

 

[thylacine60]

It was more the unfairness of it - I know he's the complete package but does he have to be the COMPLETE package, ffs?

Reckon he'll have a real Jonathan Brown-style sneer going by the end of his career.

Brown is a funny fellow. One day at Etithad in a pre-season game, some noisy prick behind me was making grunting noises. Really annoying too. Turned out it was the big fella. Straight from the jungle that guy.

He is PERFECT FFS.
