I don't know why I hate this. But I really hate this.

Thankfully the Cats play the Tigers again this season.

Amazing

Thankfully the Cats play the Tigers again this season.

They also play North Melbourne, Essendon and Port Adelaide. They only play the Giants who would be in or out of the 8 in the run home. Softest draw in the league

Even better when they lose the GF to Adelaide or Brisbane

Favourite player back in the day , loved Kelly obviously but nicks was just a cool dude and player

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Melbourne are not letting Adelaide run away with it. Adelaide just have so much marking power in their forwards though you just think they will outscore them regardless.

in a selection statement for Thursday night’s clash with Brisbane....

Other journos tweeted similar sentiments yesterday.

Acres has played at 3 clubs, never finished top 3 in a B&F at any of them.
Dropping Curnow, TDK, Weitering etc would be a statement, this is a shoulder shrug and is sort of indicative of the state of Carlton and footy journalism.

Holy shit the crowd looks shocking

Ump got in the way here

Gotta get them out of the corridor!

Carlton are just hapless. 3 goals down, have not put together a chain of more than 3 possessions

He wasn't

 

[swanssince2002]

Pies and then Lions not far behind... 2 favourites to play in the big dance atm.

Tbh though, anybody would be licking their lips to face a very very demoralised Blues outfit atm

The gushing commentary about the Lions is nauseating………one observation of them tonight is they are the most floppiest team I have seen for a while. It doesn’t take much for them to hit the deck.

 

[bedford]

Lions play footy like it should be , quick , take risks and back each other
Geez id love Dunkley

 

[Olian]

Voss will be lucky to survive. Off the pace.

There is SO much chatter about how diabolical Carlton are that it's hard to imagine how he could possibly survive.

yes, but they do have a few who falling to the ground to draw a free

I don’t think that Voss is that bad a coach but the Blues have played poorly since mid last year. Hard to see him survive.

 

[LikeAVersion]

Voss surely can't be -the- reason for how things have gone at Carlton this year. Reverted to their typical form of the last quarter century.

but now that the front has fallen off this year, he doesn't seem able to turn things around. seems like the players dont believe and have stopped caring.

Curnow missed some goals last night that he should have kicked. perhaps all these thursday and friday prime time games just further increase the spotlight and makes for no escape.

the list was way overrated. it can turn quickly, but the way its going the list reset timeline has to be at least 4-5 years to get a finals team together. that might be beyond Curnow and Weiterings time. Cripps certainly
