It's almost as though you are forgetting Eddie tbh. Not such a large difference between Hawks and Pies in that regards.

It's bad enough we had a shit game of football, now you lot are talking down the value of the 1996 Draft Signature card I've been sitting on for a quarter of a century waiting for it to appreciate :mad:

I think this is a bit misleading. Teague has had two partial seasons and the unprecedented COVID season of 2020, over that time he has 17 wins from 40 games. Hardwicks first two seasons (full and uninterrupted) which saw him in the firing line for being sacked saw him with 14 wins from 44...

I agree that sunk cost alone is no reason to avoid change, however the investment in this case has a defined end date which caps the sunk cost, and ultimately that cost is already spent. As far as assessing performance, I may be a victim of wishful thinking here, I would expect that to be an...

Personally I find the toys out of the pram approach a bit feeble. I don't post a lot here, but since I voted in the poll I thought I should contribute my thoughts. I'm not convinced that Teague can coach, however I am not convinced he can't either. To sack him on the back of two partial...

My biggest question over hiring Worsfold is how does this work with the soft cap? I might be wrong but I was under the impression that the 30%ish reduction in soft cap in football operations was carried through until 2022. Apparently we, along with a lot of other clubs, had to let good...

The day Clarkson gets appointed in any capacity is the day my membership goes into hibernation until he leaves. I know a couple of other members who feel the same.

Forensic proof, as with anything related to the human psyche, is almost impossible. However I believe it has been reasonably well established that Greg Williams lost a Brownlow through an umpires personal bias. It is not hard to extrapolate that through to bias in decision making within a...

Well I guess that makes understanding the decisions pretty difficult.

On the one hand we celebrate Kade Simpson who is a champion of the club after 300 games. As the media hasn't stopped telling us every time his milestone has been mentioned, its been a pretty good career for a player who didn't get a possession in his first three games. On the other we have a...

Seems to me you are letting your personal dislike of McKay get in the way of giving him a fair go tbh. There is no way his communication level is 3/10. He's not a showman in front of the media and the information he presents is pretty dry and uninteresting (eg/ injury updates) but he always...

The year we recruit Clarkson is the year my membership goes into hibernation. Pretty sure the pool of coaches who can check the box "have not king hit a Carlton player and broken his jaw" is not noticeably poorer for disqualifying Clarkson. I'm satisfied with Bolt's at the moment anyway.

Too many forward entries that quarter where we kicked deep to one on one contests yet we had players running free across the 50 pretty much unchecked. Wasting the limited opportunities we are getting. Not interested in putting the boot into any single player, this has been a collective failure...

Walking from harbour town to the ground i didn't see a single GC supporter. I know interstate fans don't tend to turn up in number as a rule but it's the worst I've ever seen

It seems to me there is a certain type of football supporter for whom the glass is forever half empty. What I find irritating is the suggestion players in a rebuilding team should be dropped back to the VFL to work on skills/attitude/fitness/whatever when we've actively gutted the team in order...

The 'wolf' grey guernsey isn't terrible.... the shorts they wear it with on the other hand :thumbsdown: Surely white or navy shorts would work with the gray? And whats with the wanky pocket highlights? Pure awful.

To be honest until a few years ago I had a very similar attitude to yours, although I have gotten hooked by several multiplayer games along the way despite preferring to play alone. I don't claim to be an expert on this by any stretch of the imagination, it's just that this E-sports thing I've...

Not a huge fan of e-sports myself although I am a pretty obsessed gamer who prefers single player or co-op experiences. Recently I have found myself surprised at the continuing strong growth of e-sports and a lot of that is thanks to Twitch and services like it which circumvent the need to...

Only a practise game and all the usual disclaimers.... But how good is it to start a game with intensity rather than give the opposition a quarters head start and then decide to put some effort in? Hope we bring this attitude into the regular season :thumbsu:

Not liking the OOB rule change :thumbsdown:

Liking the effort from the Blues... looking stronger in the tackles and braver going in hard for the ball than the Pies. Very pleasing so far :blush:

Stolen from the Blueseum: Career Highlights 2013 - 7th Best and Fairest 2015 - 3rd Best and Fairest 2015 - AFL Coaches Association All Australian 2016 - 8th Best and Fairest I think when you start taking pot shots at people calling them a "master debator" (yes we see what you did there and no...

Funnily enough I'm kind of feeling the same way these days. Last year I missed out on the Blue Out guernsey because I was too slow making my mind up to buy one and they sold out so I made my own Blue Out hoody

As much as I admire the mental gymnastics of looking for positives after a loss (something I've had a fair bit of practise at over the last couple of years.... *cough* decades *cough*... ) I think holding Carlton to less than 100 points is irrelevant to that achievement :thumbsu:

Hah! Not if you believe all the salty Adelaide fans :D Really hope you guys hold Ablett to the letter of his contract unless you get the deal GC wants in a trade. If that means he plays out his final year sulking in the reserves so be it.

Seriously dude, we kinda agree on everything you just said but you ignored the reason why which puts it in perspective. GWS have been the number one AFL pet since they were formed and we've been buried in the bottom of league priorities. Comparing our team to GWS and ignoring the primary cause...

Really? I think it's drawing a very long bow to suggest our rebuild lacks depth by comparing our list to the Giants who've spent the better part of a decade sucking on the AFL's teat with excessively generous draft picks and salary cap concessions. This has been the first year they've not had...

How the hell are we not 6+ goals down already? Playing without confidence is making our exits from the back line so slow and our F50 entries virtually no one wants to take the game by the scruff and have a shot. Hope first quarter is our worst quarter

Get the feeling a few people in here have blanked out the Port game from their memories if they are claiming this was the worst game this year for us. I personally feel games like this one and the Port game are becoming our lower end performance outliers, not our standard. We lacked energy and...
