I know everyone's happy at the reset and the positive body language around the club but...

Can any seasoned track watchers give me a negative rundown? Who's looking bad, Who looks like they don't understand a position based defence etc?

Thanks

Well I am going to say it:

I preferred when the reports were in this thread.

Switching between threads is annoying and makes quoting harder than necessary.
They are in this thread on the previous pages before you posted the above.

Post no's: #1608, #1613, #1620, #1621

Other reports have been posted since.


Sorry for expressing an opinion.

It's not like I had a crack at the mods...
Not sure if you missed the 10 or so pages of whingeing and whining last week about Saturday training sessions and the other 6 or so pages of whingeing & whining about having to scroll through pages & pages of drivel just to find training reports.

A suggestion was made for a separate thread for training reports ONLY and I took it on board and created a new thread.

Fancy discussing pre season training dates in the pre season training thread when we could be bantering about hairstyles and coffee ... :rolleyes:

I didn't miss the complaining, and I understand why you did what you did.

I merely expressed a preference. I didn't intend for it to be read as a slight or complaint.

Would be real nice now that CFC have their own media department if they updated our players photos and vital statistics. Those photoshopped images on the club website are terrible and the players' physical statistics are probably no longer relevant.
Agree it's frustrating, but I am pretty sure the pictures and bio come from a centrally managed database by Champion Data, so its not completely controlled by the club. I imagine Carlton provides the bio data but its up to the third party to update it correctly and produce the photos.

The same team lists and data on each club's official websites and apps are also on the AFL site and app. Quite funny to see Henderson still plays for us...

Fancy the moderators doing what we can to create a better user experience for Carlton supporters on the Carlton board.

This board generates a heap of traffic, with everyone coming here for their own unique reasons. Some view this board as a community and want to engage as much as possible across a wide range of topics. Others want to come here, do a bit of reading, and then depart. Unfortunately, some want to come here and not do much else but be critical.

We cater to a wide audience and therefore have a constant juggling act on our hands. At all times we try and come to a happy medium - sometimes that means making concessions along the way.

We received feedback that some posters do not want to wade through pages of what they perceive to be 'garbage' just to view the latest training reports from our dedicated track watchers. We responded to that by creating a thread solely for these reports, whilst keeping the other open to discussing the reports and the inevitable chit-chat which follows.

Your thinly veiled criticism is noted and not appreciated.

I think the newly created training reports thread, like the separate rumors only thread is a great idea.
Just think its a bit rich to be criticized for discussing pre season training dates in the pre season training thread by those that engage in all kinds of non football banter across many of the threads here .
Is that not what the blue room is there for ...
