Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 3

I’ve just bought all three debutants. They look amazing.

Official AFL 2025 Debutant Collector Cards

The AFL and Select, are happy to announce the new produced-to-order Official AFL 2025 DEBUTANT collector cards! A 2025 DEBUTANT card is awarded for each players' DEBUT game in the AFL, meaning they could be from any previous draft.

selectaustralia.com.au

Individually numbered like the Hilites cards (those that collect will know). Random people that order will be gifted a platinum version numbered to 49.

The next few debutant cards we could potentially get:

Ben Camporeale
Billy Wilson
Hudson Okeefe
Harry O’Farrell
Harry Lemmey

That's really cool. Might have to get the Lucas one.

Will White gets screwed by the we "probably should have given this bloke the award a couple of weeks ago" clause in the Rising star judging panel

Whitey could have received the award, but in fairness Reid was similar on output and has a bigger body of work. Deserved.

I can't believe no one has talked about Curtis' leg trap tackle on Weitering.

We are also top 5 for intercepts, top 5 for 1%ers, top 3 for inside 50's & top 2 for tackles inside 50 while having the 4th lowest points against in the league behind Collingwood, the Giants and Suns (who have played 1 game less)

So all up we are very good at winning the ball in contest, very good at winning the ball back from our opponent, very good at preventing scores & very good at getting the ball into a scoring position - while also being very good at "effort" things like tackling and 1%ers. That is a pretty decent all round game.

The things we are bad at are kicking goals (15th but 3rd for behinds), disposal efficiency (18th) and turnovers (equal first) - I think it would be very hard to execute any game plan when you are that bad at using the ball.

Whilst I hate the thought that Kemp going down has opened up opportunity, I believe we may have finally stumbled on a mix up forward that can convert the work up the field into scoreboard pressure which is the worst kind of pressure for any team to face.
I’ve always thought we’ve gone in too tall historically but then we’ve never had a full complement of our best smalls available at the same time.
We win the ball well, we defend well, we transition well, the last piece of the puzzle is converting that hard work into scoring well and defending well in the front 3rd.

Kemp going down has also seemed to see Cripps spend more time forward which then brings Motlop or Williams into the midfield mix with more speed - may be a blessing in disguise.

That article makes for very sad reading.

Premierships are bloody hard to win and something that should be celebrated, he should be part of it and commemorate what they achieved. If the bloke named emergency on the day can make it, surely SOS can. Even if he didn't get along with some in the team, he would surely have some team mates he was close with. The way he was sacked has nothing to do with the 95 premiership.

It's sad to read that he attends games in a private box and even worse that he wasn't in the rooms for Jack's 100th. That again has nothing to do with him getting sacked.


I just hope that one day, relationships are healed and he comes back to the club.

No one at the club when he was sacked is still at the club, it’s pure petulance.
I don’t think there are many at all from the 95 premiership team that would call SOS a close friend.

At least someone did. All the media talking about Bailey Smith hitting someone with a sherrin.

'Leadership and management matter'

Let's just leave it at that and not speculate.

All it said was he was on leave, it was extended then he resigned on Thursday. No specifics around the alleged issue.

Tom Elliott reporting on 3AW that Peter Bosustow has passed away.

Very sad news.

I also heard the boys on triple m Queensland on the weekend, may have been Richard Champion say he spoke to Robert Walls in the last few days and he is very unwell and only has a couple of weeks left at most.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

RIP Peter Bosustow
