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

[therubbernub]

Is Thy a member of the Wilson family? Never seen someone defend a journo so vehemently.

just the birds

 

[therubbernub]

Have pointed out before that Casboult has been penalised for attempting to throw the ball back too hard and suspended for an open hand push to an opponents chest.

What the **** do you want him to do? Daisy got penalised for bumping Cripps tagger because he “wasn’t expecting contact”, ffs.

We have no right to do anything to anyone at the moment. Would rather our players focus on getting the ball and tackling with intent when we don’t have it. Pushing and bumping opponents just gives the umpires an excuse to pay them another free kick. Pointless.

Time to get tough on the afl. If these inconsistencies are contributing to our performance, the AFL competition is too big a business to be dancing around boof head like he runs a cottage industry.

 

[StandByyourMan]

So it's ok for our guys to be scared of the big bad man because he might retaliate? If our guys are thinking like that we've got a big problem.

Cripps stood up to him several times through the game, I don't recall Mummy giving him a cheap shot.

You fly in and punch him in the head as hard as you can. Your coach should instruct it. This is nonsense. Dont care how many weeks. You king hit the thug if you have to. You wanna win against thugs like this you try and knock the thug out. Weeks? Who cares. Mummy plays to maim and injure. Fly in with a stiff arm with urgency. There is a time and place for this and that was last weekend. I would have tried to knock him out, probably from behind. Cue outrage from those that did/could never play the game, didnt know where to run, and didnt put thier head in the hole for thier teamates - most on this board unfortunately for them . You need to be willing to die for your coach and your teammates, LITERALLY. If you don't agree, you just don't get it. Hope all are well. Ill see myself out.

Not from behind- don’t condone “cowards punches”......a tad left off centre for full impact and with a wry smile. Mummy is thug, bully and Cripps’ bitch

One way ticket to a lifetime ban from all levels of AFL or a trip to jail under the one punch laws.

Umpire didn’t even pay a free kick, ffs. It is hard to justify a king hit under any circumstances, let alone one like this.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Gibbs was such a hack In fact every game he ever played in we would have been better without him. The day he was drafted the stars were aligned wrong and great pestilence afflicted great swathes of middle Africa. Lazy and unskilled to the point of ludicrousy and a horrible bloke too. Also his name is an anagram of Biggs that english rotter. He made us pick all the wrong players and coaches just by his evil aura.

How about that Thy ? ...........

We say worse but Caro is angling at us totally.

Never forget her Dad was a Richmond president and she did not handle it well when SOS had a go at her on tv last year. Deep down she is scummy Richmond supporter before hag, witch or grubby political muck racking sports journo.. just sayin....

Yeah but.......no doubt she is just a person doing a job essentially. If it upsets people then she has succeeded. The trick is ignore the noise

Easy mate. She has a job to do, we are 1-8, don’t you think we should cop a bit?
Is Cam Ling more your cup of tea? Talks a lot but isn’t sayin much, but it’s always positive!

 

[Hands On]

says the tough guy behind the keyboard - why not compare our skinny 18 year olds with the toughest, most brutal group of junkyard dogs to ever wear the navy blue? pointless and laughable.........

HAHAHA. Trust me I am far from a tough guy making an assessment on the intestinal fortitude of our skinny kids whilst sitting behind the keyboard. My point is exactly that we hard a core group of street wise Junkyard dogs at the time, and it is important to have a mix of these likely types in every team. Fact is we haven't. it is important to have blend of these types on our list.

Regardless, after Mumford's low act on Murph there should have been some sort of strong emotion shown.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Maybe Neese, but they owe him nothing, he has no history there and he has to earn the teams respect, for years at Carlton he was a conditional footballer who relied on talent alone. There has always been a big gap between his best football and his worst.
Him along with a few others should have been dropped from our side but we didn't have the depth to replace them.

Sometimes the grass isn't greener on the other side.

Yep it’s brown on both sides

She’s no witch. She’s doing her job and looks like it’s working.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Not a witch but SOS definitely rattled her and she appears hell bent on proving him wrong. That isnt very professional I feel.

 

[Arr0w]

Media are generally shortsighted, only seeing the now. Then when things turn, they cling to any form of change, as vindication for their original stance

 

[footyfan1978]

Easy mate. She has a job to do, we are 1-8, don’t you think we should cop a bit?

We should if it is based in reality and fair. Hers is not from what I hear. If someone having a go at our team selection out of balance or tactics on day in centre like Paul Roos did last week all very much fair and reality based.... Bugger being easy on her. She does not deserve going easy given she muck rakes and reality based is secondary importance to her...

 

[footyfan1978]

I still reckon she still may float if it was tested....

 

[footyfan1978]

Yep, muck racking is her job and she does it better than most. Muck rakers should cop heat from those of us that know they should be called out for their muck racking bullshit.

she will turn you into a newt, careful........

 

[footyfan1978]

ha ha. Probably could.

 

[Murphkreuzmitch]

I reckon our 1 lonely win for the year makes us fair game for anything in the media, the only way to stop it is to win games.

The personal attacks on a persons character because they write or say something you don’t like about your football team probably says more about you than the journalist.

 

[Blue Bloods]

Your underestimating him Plow
He's been incredibly impressive so far....and won the Morrish Medal last year when he openly admits his fitness levels were not up to standard.
Could be anything, and loved the photo of him on the track with Diesel...hopefully he's learning from the Master...

I thought Williams only coached one on one and was paid for that.

But heard he was coaching Cripps and Dow and now that photo with Stocker, wonder if the club has him on some kind of part time role. Would be worth every penny.

Some of his other clients include Tom Mitchell and Neale

 

[mediumsizered]

I'm not going to indulge in name calling of Caro, but I will reiterate that she does not have the intel she used to have in AFL circles therefore a lot of what she claims is hit or miss. This is best demonstrated by her not being all over the demise of Brad Scott. In the past she would have been privy to this type of thing before most.
