Imagine telling your supporters that the only reason he got the job was because there was no one else willing to take the job and that's why they hired him.

That board needs to be sacked.

The universe hates me (points to evidence folders A: 2016 and B: 2017) so I'm going to refrain from dancing on Carlton's grave.

What I will say is this - it could be a buyer's market for wayward Carlton talent.

In a similar way we snaffled Peter Bell when Freo were run by the East Fremantle IGA, the timing might be right to take a swing at some sap on their list who hasn't been broken yet.

There's not much you'd want there apart from their top 5 picks (SPS, Dow, Walsh).

Bear in mind that most of that so called "wayward talent" has already been given the arse by GWS" so it comes as likely damaged, potentially by two handlers.

Dow is an absolute buther of the ball

Yeah, I haven't liked what I've seen of Dow so far but I'm not ready to write him off completely. Wouldn't be under as much pressure in a better side.

If it was so hard to hand over that job then, what makes it any easier now?

Other than a deluge of high draft picks, there is zero positives and yet Hutchy calls it the greatest job open right now? Ridiculous. That club will forever be a basket case as long as that board stays, and as long as Mark LoGiudece denies responsibility that job will never be secure.

Dow wanted to come to North, and I think we should steal him, he might be inefficient in his disposal lately, but he's worth a crack to help develop. He has upside.

I'm sure Carltons young development staff are terrible compared to ours, I'd sooner trust North to turn him into a better player.

There's no way Dow is coming our way. Let's kill off this little meme before it grows Paddy Dow's dog's legs.

Good call if you are round 30 years old.

37.

My mate is a mad Carlton fan who has connection with the Dogs recruitment team.

After the Stocker deal he asked them where they had him rated, they said in the 40s

Ouch.

 

[Dirty_11]

Paddy Dow. Mark. Shot at goal 40 out. Important kick. Out on the full.

Thank-you LDU.

LDU will be the best of the lot in that draft. Give it two more seasons.

Would you swap pick 5 for pick 10 and 19?

Probably not.

Rayner will be a gun.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Or Cunnington for Jake Melksham and Ben Griffiths.

Probably not.

Even with the benefit of hindsight, the best you could have possibly done in that draft with 2 picks was Fyfe and Gunston.

The following year, Polec went 5 and Gorringe 10, Isaac Smith 19.

L.Whitfield out for a month while Beams out for 3 months.

Great opportunity to spend some quality time with mates down on the peninsula.

Rules are rules, and the double standard would apply.

 

[Only Forwards]

Can someone explain to me why this is a big deal?

How is it remotely worth a 6 week ban?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Good stuff from Al Lynch highlighting how much work we put into Tom Lynch last week. Really physical and annoying. Gotta bring that every week.

Apologies for this newsflash being off topic but Ash Barty losing the first set in French semi final after being 5-0 up in 12 minutes sickening viewing.

Yep. She is pulling a Kyrgios and now we can't rely on anyone in tennis anymore when she's doing that.

Blicsavs has been found out 3 times tonight when he was one on one. He gets great protection from his teammates.

Geelong are a VERY overrated football side.
