Non Lions Discussion 2026

[Cousin Jed]

You’d just turn off at half time and enjoy the 1st half performance by now

If Carlton was a person, you wouldn't let them take your dog for a walk for fear of them losing the lead.

 

[Elixuh]

Crippa cooked. Carlton need to rebuild.

If Carlton was the dog then the person would have to carry them home because they stop at halftime.

 

[M Malice]

Carlton, LOL!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Poor Vossy

 

[Saucery]

It does my heart good to see Essendon, Carlton and Richmond propping up the ladder. Feel for Voss though.

 

[martinson]

Hard to see Vossy surviving the year because today was totally pathetic.

In the end Melbourne were virtually out there by themselves.

Not much can be done whoever coaches them as far a I can tell. No heart whatsoever. Maybe Doc had it right.

 

[Saucery]

Crippa cooked. Carlton need to rebuild.

I think anyone who tries a full rebuild now has left their run a bit late. With Tassie coming in the whole trade/draft landscape is going to get thrown up in the air.

 

[martinson]

They’ll basically go through what we did when the suns and Giants went through and as we know; that was a brutal 8-9 year patch.

The problem is that they have quite a few players on extended contracts who are has beens or just don't give a toss any more.

North/Eagles have been putrid the last 5 years but have timed their escape literally at the final hour.

Richmond/Essendon/Carlton are in for a world of pain over the next decade.

Sos has left a trail of destruction whatever he's touched.

Sos + Gubby = Ground Zero.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Crippa cooked. Carlton need to rebuild.

Acted like total dick after kicking a goal in the first quarter by knocking a crouching player over and verballing him. At least he had one win for the day.

Hard to believe they still have jobs.

The Cody walker rort will save them. They will actually be bad enough to have a draft pick early to match a bid at pick 1.

 

[Viceregal]

Re the Dev discussion... talking about a West Coast player we know in the non lions discussion thread and how he is going in a game in this round seems quite in order. Theoretically it could go in the where are they now or the individual player's thread but a comment on a current game ... especially re a player who gave us good service and left on good terms.

For a moment I thought I must have been in our games' review thread (where such a comment would indeed not have fitted ...)

 

[M Malice]

With the Tigers, Blues and Bombers struggling that leaves only one Big 4 Victorian club competing in the Magpies, imagine the puerile panic among the Vic power brokers if all 4 were struggling.

Of the 4 I think the Tigers have got the best youth/potential to improve.

He's a terrible leader. So overrated. I can't believe he has 2 brownlows.

Neither can Cal Ahchee.

They have the Walker brothers at the top end of the 2026 and 2028 drafts.

Must be great having so many boys club connections you can fail upwards all the way to retirement.

I saw this and was like “Crippa has entered that angry old man stage” going at a 20 year old like that was f&$king hilarious and cringe

 

[Saucery]

They have the Walker brothers at the top end of the 2026 and 2028 drafts.

True but the costs will be high. Unless they trade in again for futures (which wouldn't be a bad investment really) getting two highly rated kids in nice but not earth shattering. What Ross the Toss and him master McGuire seem to overlook is that our strengths have been later round recruiting and development, that's where the depth really comes from.
