Hot Topic Chicken Little thread - 2024 edition

[Gethelred]

Come one, come all, ye chicks and chickens alike!

It's time for a rant thread!

Let us find the darkness within, together!

Wish we'd just drop Cripps for Kennedy at this point. Cripps once again turning to butter during a crucial period for the club is getting old.

Talent and structure aside we'd probably get further playing guys who actually give a s**t.

I think they give a s***. However, I think they are still scarred from last season and haven’t discussed those moments as a group to turn their doubt into something positive. They have to lean into the fear or they are stuffed.

One club wins a flag per year. Only 3-4 are realistic flag chances. It always looks dark until the rain stops and the sun peaks through.

We need to be bold and replace the game plan with something more modern. If that doesn't work we need a mini rebuild but we are much closer to a flag than at anytime since 1999

We'll only win 2 - 4 more games for the year.

West Coast, Hawthorn and maybe Freo. Giants 50/50. Suns seem to have our number and are playing pretty good football and should take care of us.

Can't see us beating any other team barring a huge upset / miracle.

Three wins will have us at 7.5 wins for the season and in the 12 to 16 region on the ladder.

I wanna see a ladder where 7.5 wins, or even 8, got a team as high as 12th.... Minimum tends to be 10.

It's the Chicken Little Thread ffs!!

What did you expect,
Sunshine and lollipops?

 

[GossipBoy]

As a new person how can you see the views of the core sunshine and lollipop posters versus the doom and gloom regulars since 2015 on decisions like: Bolton, Teague, Voss, sacking SOS, recruiting McGovern, Williams and Saad etc

Off the very regular posters it would be interesting to run a compare so those with strong opinions either way now can be measured against their historic views. Does Chat GPT analyse this forum??

I mean.. the bolded is technically true.

But say the scale is 0 (no flag chance) to 20 (serious flag chance), the issue is we've been sitting at 1 or 2 for most of that time and we're currently about a 5.

at least we’re not raffling off a six year old car.

Mod. Notice - Moderator crackdown over dismissive and unconstructive posting

Folks, we have done this previously and we feel it is time to do it again. There is a increasing amount of smug and dismissive posting happening on the boards. People are being ridiculed for reasonable opinions and this serves to quell debate and a sense of community, which is what we are here...

Yeah, just had another look at the draw. We'll only win one more game if we're lucky and that's against West Coast in round 19.

Can't see us beating Hawthorn, the Giants, Freo, Essendon or the Suns.

Looks like 16th or 17th on the ladder to end the year.

Petition to change the thread name to 'Carlton realists - 2023 edition' lol

We'll win more than 1 but we're finishing bottom 4 this year, ****ing depressing

Yep can’t see us winning more than 2 games from here on. Bottom 4 is where we belong for now.

Pies came from 17th to nearly make a GF, we live in hope for 24

Might make more sense to change the entire BigFooty Carlton site to "The Chicken Little Forum". This place is an utter embarrassment.

So is the club currently ¯\(ツ)/¯

Sentiment in here is hardly surprising.
