Honestly I wish I could, but having me in the team would be as smart as recruiting Liam Jones ;) We need decent players, not flogs
Hang on, hang on, after being a member for the last 6 years, I am not even allowed to show disappointment when things aren't right. Is our football club a...
Geez get me onto that page, seems there are a lot of blues fans who have had enough too
We've been supporting a team in struggle and making excuses for them for 15 years now. Seems a lot of blues fans on here have caught the St Kilda illness. The only solution is strength, who is going to be...
We'll I've spent $150 on a membership this year, you know do go and watch my team do everything they can to win games.
You know the meaning of AFL football, the thing that gets printed in the papers each day, what most football fans talk about, winning?
Don't we know what that is anymore
Good...
Was a full blown rebuild really necessary though??
If you asked all blues fans back in 2015 what the solution was to the problem, I don't think many would have said rebuild. The draftees we got from 2010 to 2014 didn't turn out too great with many having been desisted, we could end up doing the...
Docherty after the knee injury may never be the same player, he will definetly be injury prone for the rest of his career. Look at what has happened with Dale Thomas from his Collingwood years and Michael Barlow after his leg injury.
Murphy has got 2 good years at the most left in him...
Fair point, I respect your opinion.
So what if in 3 years time once we've seen the rebuild through were still sitting around the bottom 4 with our players fully developed. Its still happening to Brisbane who have been in the cycle since 2010 despite going to the draft and having young players...
Carlton, as were all aware, are now 0-6. The worst start for this famous football club in its 122 year history in the VFL/AFL. When the board set out their objectives for this 66 game list rebuild they promised to us that we would see "gradual" improvement each year as they were all convinced...
I remember saying after the JLT loss to Richmond that I considered Essendon to be extremely overrated and that they would struggle to even make the 8, let alone win the flag like all the bomber believers on this thread had been talking up at the start of the year.
Wasn't saying it through...
Got no problem with Hird, a true champion of Anzac day matches, having his say.
But seriously now we'll be debating the drugs saga over again and many on here I'm sure will be saying Hird didn't even deserve to say that.
Heck imagine the uproar if he got offered a contract for channel 7...
Odd? His anything but it. These are the type of people we need in the AFL, everyone is so robotic, great to finally get a real character.
Great to see this amazing young lad play so well in his first 2 games...
Hughsey's stand up gig for 2018:
OH BOY DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME MY ADELAIDE SUPPORTING SON MET BRENDAN BOLTON AT THE CARLTON WOMENS?
5 excruciating minutes later....
SO I GET HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY AND MY ADELAIDE SUPPORTING SON SAYS "DAAAAD, YOU KNOW HOW YOU ARE MEANT TO BE...
Seems I've gotten someone triggered
Thats usually what happens when people present facts lol:D
You said it: Quote #1473, 1:08pm today
GET IT RIGHT!! COME ON!!
Ok, fine
Tell me then what is likely to happen because what the club has said and what Gill has said are 2 different things
I always thought "demolishion" meant reduction in capacity, but I must have it wrong
You obviously don't care one bit about our footy club.
Its basically all thats left from the heyday and has so much history behind it . Yeah it may be a little old, but thats what makes it special, sitting in the wooden seats that you once sited in 20 years ago. A place for families to unite...
Its not that hard to put in a bit of commonsense mate
http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/2018-04-13/ikon-parks-20m-boost
Our lunatic president has proposed a masterplan which involves demolishing the "South-west corner" stand, thats the Pratt Stand.
In its place are elite facilites, education...
You just said
"They’re not going to knock down the stand and not replace the seating. Gil on the radio today said capacity would be about 22k"
Thats not on the agenda with Carlton's "exciting grand plan". Ground will be lucky to hold 15K.
The plans certainly don't include a new grandstand btw...
Mate the board don't give a stuff about us and have never consulted the members on anything...
Like the Heatley and Harris stands, our past administrations seem to prefer demolishion over compromise and consulting. Such a sad day, with so much history lost
"As part of the Masterplan, the Club intends to demolish facilities in the south-west corner of Ikon Park to make way for additional elite facilities, including an education hub and administration area to cater for the expansion and growth of female football and the broader Carlton Football...
Maybe thats a good thing
Liberal government said their going to oppose it anyway
Was listening to the 3AW show and Tom reckons Etihad doesn't even need a revamp! Many criticle of the huge spending spree
I wonder if we can impeach AFL presidents
Couldn't even be stuffed putting it to a members forum could he. Just does, does, does without a care in the world for what Carlton fans actually want. And then you've got Liddle, who has done very little for us thus far saying "“Our 50,000 members...
What is going to be built in the place of the Pratt Stand???
Surely a new shiny stand with modern seating, new AFLW change rooms, AFLW headquarters etc.
The Pratt Stand is like a 3rd of the grounds seating
"As part of the Masterplan, the Club intends to demolish facilities in the south-west corner of Ikon Park to make way for additional elite facilities, including an education hub and administration area to cater for the expansion and growth of female football and the broader Carlton Football...
