Michael Voss is arguably Carlton's most successful (definitely second most successful) coach this century. Let that one sink in.

I mean David Parkin did take them to a GF in 2000 so I'm probably going with that if I'm them, but Vossy has had his moments I guess.

Edit: Sorry, prelim in 2000, GF 99

Truly sad reading.

Truly sad reading.

Only if you are are a Carlton supporter, for everyone else it's great

Is funny though after the big debate between Blues and Bombers fans about which club would get to 17 flags first, it's now looking like Collingwood will beat them both to it

I, for one, want everyone to push Bender to change his avatar to the gimp mask.

Ahh a man of his word, we haven’t had one of them since Phil.

 

[Goroyals22]

Simmo did say his som contacted him today to say happy anniversary for a year ago today being sacked

You are a gimp and a scholar.
A man of his word.

He said he went through it for 3 or 4 years so probably since then I'm guessing

Couple of digs at the West but made the point of saying WC supporters aren't like Carlton supporters

Even though i wanted him gone earlier i did say all along it hard not to like the guy

 

[Biggie]

On Voss and Carlton

What a rabble. (And I say this with zero irony with our 7 wins in our last 100 games)

 

[FKASC]

Did they ask if they could use the toilet though?

Gotta say this one did raise an eyebrow in the original post

 

[Boohemian]

What a rabble. (And I say this with zero irony with our 7 wins in our last 100 games)

Who would want anything to do with Carlton?

As you say, complete rabble with too many external noises having far too great an influence over the way the club is operated.

They need to get past the hubris of being one of the "GREAT" clubs, which hasn't been true since the turn of the century. They won essentially all of their premierships in an era when it was an amateur state league.

 

[Keys]

Carlton last won a flag in 1995 which was Freo’s first year in the comp

Only St Kilda (1966) have had to wait longer since their last premiership

Adelaide (1998), North (1999) and Essendon (2000) have the next longest droughts

 

[PerthBoy86]

Running too far just needs to be changed to more than 15 steps instead of 15m. It's how we all treat it already and it'd be easier to umpire too.

I thought it was? Have I been getting it wrong all this time?

 

[PerthBoy86]

On that note I think they should just give a very liberal interpretation of the 15 m mark rule. There's too much uncertainty. It's better if you have a few say 13-14m kicks getting paid than sometimes 10m kicks getting paid, sometimes 20m kicks being called not 15 cos umpires can't judge distance. Or just add a sensor on the ball with gps tracking with a direct feed to the umps. At this stage just get AI to umpire lol.

 

[Cuzz09]

Carlton will prob knock off Brissy tonight now.

"Marvel Miracle" or something

 

[Bender_]

Some serious slow-motion car crash attraction to watching the game tonight to see Carlton fall to pieces and Voss get sacked.

Wonder if they bring the tarps out and block the view at half time while the board carry a shotgun in, like at the races when a horse goes down.

TWIST - it was a Pies fan wot dunnit!

TWIST - it was a Pies fan wot dunnit!

When asked why, he reportedly said, "So what number do you want me to call in on?".

 

[squashface]

How does a Pies fan get so pressed about Voss that he makes death threats? Pies won by 10 goals

While in reality Essendon has two and Carlton one, same as Port (and a bunch of state league flags each).

The successful AFL clubs are Hawthorn, West Coast, Geelong, Brisbane, Richmond and to annoy the Blues/Bombers fans, Collingwood.
