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

[Bamboo Harvester]

I can’t stand listening to that radio station any more since croc took over

100% Eskie.....it has totally turned to .....Gerald Wheately, KB and the Doc etc, absolute garbage....the only one I have time for is Andy Maher, and that's only because he goes in to bat for the Blues when we're copping shit from the football world.

Macquarie Sports a much better option these days.

Will Setterfield, Adam Kennedy, Sam Walsh and Lochie O'Brien go for a run at Carlton’s training camp.

Top quality journalism.

Has anyone else noticed that the video posted yesterday re Bolton on CFC; Phase 2- Forming identity is now down?
I wonder why that is so?; assuming its not a technical issue merely on my end.
I wonder, likely stupidly, whether Bolton's pause during that video, and seeming stare which appeared to be directed in Simmo's direction is the reason?
I wonder whether it contradicted Murphy's media statement that Bolton has mellowed.
Nah Im over thinking things; surely.

Have to say I'm pretty impressed with the changes to the media department and presence of Carlton. It use to be ridiculous with videos being uploaded to the YouTube channel months after being released for example and weeks with nothing new.

Having good media keeps the club relevant and engaged. Much more fun for the fans

Good article, except for Adam Kennedy

When we win our next premiership I'll be changing it to Blue Balls 17 Cups.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Me either. It's RSN in the morning when I get ready for work, and podcasts the rest of the day.

Bingo.

RSN then podcasts. Can't go past podcasts.

If SOS has got this right, we will see the proof in the pudding start to emerge this year (not necessarily early in the year). I am nervous yet bullish.

See the last paragraph?

Carlton are training on the Sunshine Coast this week and hope McGovern will be able to play JLT games leading into the season with their major injury concerns being Caleb Marchbank, who continues to battle a back injury, Lachie Plowman, who is joining in full training more regularly, and Tom Williamson who is being monitored regularly.

Does anyone actually know what is going on with Williamson????

Fantastic article. I have a lot of respect for Marc Murphy. It would be fantastic to see him play in a carlton flag. If he stays fit he will have a ripsnorter of a season.

Anyone still looking for positive articles?? AWESOME ^^^^^^

Far Out, with the amount of talk regarding the Blues not scoring 100 points for... blah blah blah.

I expect it to be the biggest news that week when we do it. As if 100 is the bench mark of what a team needs to score.

The funny thing is though, we kicked 102 against the hawks in last years JLT. So their data is wrong and they're skewing it so that they can write these tabloid-esque opinion pieces for opposition supporters to froth over. Nothing new as the site has existed in this fashion for as long as I'm sure anyone can remember and their unprofessionalism is only further evidenced by their insistence on shoehorning idiotic puns into each and every headline. Not to mention consistently frequent factual and grammatical errors.

So you are saying a JLT match should be considered to be equal to a regular AFL match. Interesting.

RE jlt scores.

The hawks capped their rotations during that match to mirror the real season. We ran alot more players through that match. I wouldn't read into that scoreline that much...

(I agree the article standards are low though)

I don't think they should be considered equal, but I do think they should be considered. At least the article should specify they are referring only to regular season games and their day counting should reflect that. They have counted the day we kicked 102 as a day we still have not kicked 100.

I would have to disagree with you here. JLT / practice matches should not be considered imo.

Yeah I realise that the context of the game is completely different as teams treat it as a practice match, however they're still representing the club in some level of competition.
I don't agree with counting it as 1020 days when it's been less than 12 months, I think they're grasping at straws to reach that number. Especially considering that we would have played games on less than 100 of those days.
Perhaps I just don't think in the same manner as an AFL journalist, probably a good thing.

Apparently there's a gaping hole in the ladder around 11-14th that couldn't possibly be considered for this AFL poll. Morons.

Damn you, B_B!!!!

I spent so long clicking on that before I realised it was a screenshot....

Exactly!

What I really like is Dow Setterfield O'Brien SPS Walsh & Stocker are very good ball users. Once they find their feet watch out. The forwards will have a field day

Dow being a good ball user is a stretch. Has a tendency to spray.
