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

[RPCB]

Rowell will be end of 2023.

Might have to load up the draft picks for that year...

I can wait that extra year and then go bang on both of them.

Goddard end of 2024
Pavlich end of 2025?

I have it on good authority that Pav is happening soon.

The AFL will create a red head, light skin minority community liaison position to ensure he never leaves the Gold Coast.

I don't think they'll need to. He's not likely to leave any time soon.

Ed on Walshy!

 

[sosos]

Been a few Carlton players get smoke blown their way during the week, come out and stink it up next one. Have a feeling Walsh won't.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Bucky on my blue heaven makes 2 salient points
1) Richmond defeated top 4 sides during their 9thdom phase. Carlton don't

2) The "dig in" players have to be replaced for Carlton to improve. These players are: Casboult, murphy, ed curnow, jones, newnes(dont agree), plowman, williamson(i think). I would also add obrien and dow as question marks.

I think there are at least 2 in the reserves(stocker, kennedy) + martin and williams that are better than the above list.

Plowman was phenomenal against the tigers imo.

 

[spry]

I'm not sure if this is interesting or concerning:

Think he’s stirring the pot here. Would love to show the forwards that printed in the paper he would.

Yes and No .... Doc over ruled him at times .... and left him high and dry.

Just have to listen to footy radio/tv and every player is either a star or champion.

I remember just recently when Saad had requested a trade. Everyone was saying that opposition will need to put a defensive forward on one of them, but we'll always have the other who is still able to dominate.

Now we're in a similar position with our midfield. Do you tag Cripps? Do you tag Walsh? Do you tag Williams? You can't take all of them out of the game.

It's just a matter of time before everything clicks, and we're winning games like last Thursday.

The dire predicament facing FOUR finals contenders in round two

History tells us that starting a season 0-2 means you almost certainly won’t be playing finals

www.afl.com.au

Re: Carlton and Collingwood last week

Despite getting close to Richmond and the Western Bulldogs, respectively, there was a sense internally among both clubs that the final margins might
have been flattering

I thought the final score actually flattered Richmond last week. Thought the game was basically neck-and-neck for 3.5 quarters...

Final score was biggest margin of the night, methinks

click bait to pump up the foaming masses ....

Quite a bit of the stuff I've seen/heard/read has been about our margin being a little misleading, we weren't that far off, and the Pies margin being flattering for them, 16 points felt like 36 because the Pies went into damage control mode and the Dogs don't have the most potent forward line

We were actually the inverse of Collingwood. Our margin looked worse than the game actually was, while Collingwoods margin looked better than the game was.

Perhaps he means flattering in the sense it was expected that we'd get blown out but didn't?

I think HARRY is the priority, CRIPPS can wait

 

[Matty411]

I think HARRY is the priority, CRIPPS can wait

From an accessibility point of view, Crippa could be lured with RFA while Harry would need an amicable trade to lure him.

Agree - our money and contract focus should be on Harry first atm, but Crippa is an important signing for so many reasons. Just hope we don't pay through the teeth (esp. with his recent form).
