Roses are red,
Carlton is navy blue.
You're a bunch of wild animals,
But BF is my favourite zoo.

Would love to see Dylan Alcott being our #1 ticket holder

Can’t we just have Andy Lee make us laugh?

 

[BigFrizz36]

The H/S today shows us having 3 elite players on our list (believe it or not Sammy Walsh & Big Harry are not rated as elite). They are Jacob Weitering

(who? Hawthorn) are rated as elite.

You do have to laugh when the likes of Jeremy Finlayson (given away by the Giants for peanuts) and Dylan Moore (who? Hawthorn) are rated as elite.

Based on champion data right?


Surely that's enough so I don't have to read a season full of people trumpeting champion data as a measuring stick.

Bloody failed attempted copy of the much more successful nfl Pro football focus which is still controversial in its own sport.

 

[chunkylover53]

Are you suggesting we can't win a game without Walsh?

Nah, we will still win the ones we expect to (Hawks, GC), but I was previously confident vs. Richmond - not so much anymore. I wouldn't have been surprised if we pinched one of WB and Port either. Danger game like Freo becomes far more dangerous now too.

He's a premier mid of the comp, not easily replaceable against top sides with stacked midfields.

We’ll beat freo so count that as a W.

Big loss no doubt, but the gameplan will have more effect than just the inclusion of one player

Bit of both arrow, we need an effective gameplan and players who can execute the gameplan. Opportunity for the likes of Dow and others to step up.

Point is, it doesn't have to be Dow or any other singular name. Whoever is ready and or in form at that point in time

Tigers won 2 flags without the best key defender of the era and Hawthorn the same without the best forward. Eagles won without Nic Nat sheppard and gaff. Yes it would be absolutely preferred that he plays, but if he's really the difference between beating a good side and bad side then thats a problem.

Hoping it’s a good gameplan (exciting, yet nullifying when needed) & players gel well with it.
That’s when the 1 out, 1 in philosophy can thrive.

They won all their premierships without McGovern, Harry taylor, Harris Andrews, Hurn, Weitering, Talia...

Oh wait you mean the guy who played loose as shit and relied on grimes, Astbury and insane midfield pressure to make up for his inability to actually play tight?

I understand your point. I just find it offensive to key defenders to call a loose interceptor the best defender of the era.

But boy could he dive .. should have won multiple gold at the olympics.

Yes we have had a long association with Liberal party prime ministers with Sir Robert Menzies and Malcolm Fraser being the number 1 ticket holders.

Yeah, so it`s time that we break the bad habits of the past , especially with the current pack of bastards representing this country and how little they care about anyone who isn`t rich!!! Poor defenceless Sco Mo is feeling the heat , so has to have his wife stick up for him on a Rupert Murdoch propaganda tv show, so let`s not turn to any of them for our number 1 ticket holder thanks!!!

Can anyone show me where to find our current vfl list for 2022 as I cannot track it down anywhere....?

Zac williams elite?
Prove it to me zakky.

 

[onesilop]

Could be worse, we could be West Coast who have the following players out for the first bit of the season

2021 Leading goal kicker - Jack Darling (avesion to needles)
3rd on the eagles goal kicking table in 2021 - Oscar Allen (hot spot on the foot)
4th on the Eagles goal kicking table in 2021- Jamie Cripps (torn pec)

and yet somehow we will still lose to them....

 

[Red Bull]

Stats …

Trust your own eyes and back your own judgment

VFL List for 2022 not finalised so hasn’t been published yet. I assume when it’s ready it will appear somewhere on the Carlton website.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Is this the thread to whine about our clash jumper? Cos I really wanna do that.
