Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 2

[ZabsBlues]

What days? The days where we had fev or the days where Sam Newman would be an absolute campaigner to people on the street, making fun of people less fortunate than his privileged self?

Sam Newman was the reason I stopped watching that sh&t show.

about his struggles during his Carlton days and how he's found his love for footy again playing with Ararat.

The lost Blue who rediscovered his love of football

When Carlton take to the Gabba in Saturday night’s preliminary final, one former Blue will be happy to be watching from home in Ararat with a premiership of his own in hand.

Terrible show.

I remember when they had a perplex box around his head and filled it up with mice. He then took off and started wriggling around, throwing them around, to the voice of screeching idiots in the crowd. Probably injured some by zig-zagging around like someone was trying to hit him with an axe.

You don't do that to skittish animals, they don't belong there, especially not next to a bunch of idiots who don't GAF about animal welfare.

 

[Stamos]

He is right though, much more sustainable source

However, this has not been the case in their two finals wins, something Hoyne says is crucial in their hunt for premiership glory.

“Hats off to what Carlton have been able to do in this finals series and change the way that they’ve been able to score in their first two finals,” he told SEN’s Sportsday.

So their stoppage work has actually dropped significantly over the last four (to) six weeks, but their turnover game has improved slightly.

It's more sustainable to slightly improve one area, and significantly drop off in another?

 

[Stamos]

I'd love someone to explain to me what a 'turnover' is.

When you have the ball, you stuff it up, and now they have it.

 

[Arr0w]

Scores from turnovers normally make up roughly 2/3s of your output, well for most pointy end sides

We have the added bonus of still being strong and effective at a stoppage

 

[JustaBattler]

Thansk Stamos...

so 'scoring from turnover' must firstly require good defensive systems and execution to make the opposition 'stuff it up'...

when does a stuff seeing ball to ground and into a contest stop being a turnover?

Or is turnover a straight back to the defender who then goes on to score without anything in between getting ball and scoring?

see bove mate- becaue ok you defend and opposition stuffs it up - the ball goes into your hands and you proceed to score or the ball goes to ground and becomes a ground ball contest ...

I mean is a score from turnover a score straight away - without any contest in between?

A score from a turnover, is scoring without the opposition touching it

Like the last goal we kicked on the weekend

Or if we lay a heavy tackle in forward 50, opposition spill the ball and we gather and score from it

Essentially it's a reflection of effective ball movement

It's a combination of good defensive pressure, but also the way you move the ball when you win it back.

Pretty sure stoppage is an actual stoppage (ie centre bounce, ball up, throw in).
So there are 3 sources to score from, stoppage, turnover (they win it at the stoppage or turnover, and then turn it over to you) or kick in.

I was at the Richmond - GWS prelim and sat very close to the tigers cheer squad (thanks Dad). We were louder.

 

[KohPhi]

I've seen it referenced a bit but I must have missed it, what was the bobblehead fiasco?

A few posters were kicking up a stink that some Charlie Curnow bobbleheads ran out, or something like that. I honestly can't remember the full facts tbh.

I think it was that it was meant to be for members only, you were meant to register to be able to get them, but then on the night they just handed them out to whomever, including * supporters, and ran out so that people who were meant to get them missed out.

 

[branedotorg]

Interesting. I assume you have the demographic data to prove your claims about the makeup of Carlton members and pokies gamblers? Surely if you're saying it's class warfare you have evidence to prove it.

Revealing a little about myself but no we've never run those datasets together as the AFL doesn't release demo.

 

[branedotorg]

Writing a theology assignment and trying to justify how talking about whether Kennedy and SOS as possible 'ins' fits into the Nicaean Council changes made in 325 a.d.
Hmmm

Think there's a nice bit to be done about sayers as st Alexander of Alexandria and Mathieson as Arius, Illyria as the gold coast.

Yeah but is a turnover goal classed as continuous from the actual turnover only?

Nobody would give a shit normally, but they made you register to get one and then when you showed up there were none left.
Not the end of the world, just poor

Pretty sure stoppage is from an actual stoppage (ie when the umpire has the ball), so everything else is turnover (except kick-ins).

 

[skadoosh]

Has kicked 14 in his last 7 full games.

Zero chance he misses.

2x clutch goals to keep us in the Dees game

Moved back home, playing local football, won a premiership (Ararat last won a flag with his dad in the side) and has rediscovered his love of the game. Not interested in coming back to AFL..

This has been a crazy week for team selections lol

Can't tell if Boyd is a surprise in for a tall, or just the Cincotta replacement

I’m sorry is that Eddies son?

Keep!
Funny you should post,
Guy on plane dressed in blue, collecting blue bag from overhead cabin.
I said ha..bluebagger!
He said. No. Hawthorn supporter and we've won way more than you.

Errr..no. I think Bombers and us are both on 16.
No. Only Essendon are. Not you. FACT.

And, he says..
I hope it's a Carlton v Pies Grand Final.
It won't be though. You'll lose.

I start laughing and the guy behind me says.
Don't worry love, nobody likes Hawthorn. They're irrelevent.

Little fake blue guy stopped talking.
