Try to look after yourself tonight. Watch the Olympics. Read the dictionary. Just do whatever necessary to switch off. We are capable of quality flashes but that makes the pathetic lows even worse. We shouldn’t have even gotten that close but wow, hard to imagine a more painful finish...

What do you mean? What dialogue have I tried to deprive you of? Apologies if I haven’t been clear - vent as much as you like. I am also not a happy supporter right now. Please just don’t resort to abuse eg those shameful scenes of supporters hurling vitriol over the fence, Essendon most...

I generally try to avoid venting mid-game, but this is season over. Struggling to see Voss retain his job. He deserves respect, but I fear the nuances of the modern game may be beyond him. Good sides win games they shouldn’t; we lose games we should win, in ways we shouldn’t lose. It’s a...

Harry is an elite player and makes us significantly better. His last few games prior to injury were excellent, and his selfless buy-in to a better game plan was evident. Charlie will be the happiest man alive when an athletically gifted 200cm Coleman Medallist joins him in the forwardline and...

Boyd was absolutely fantastic. He was silky skillful as always but he’s added a toughness that I hadn’t thought possible. Very difficult to keep out much longer.

Fantastic win for millions of reasons but primarily: 1. Form teams heading into finals have such an advantage carrying momentum. Complete reverse of last year where we started on fire but sputtered badly late. Credit to the coaches and fitness staff - ideally we wouldn’t need to leave it so...

Tough night. Not much you can say. Watching the players is difficult - totally devoid of confidence, conviction and fun. Our game plan is 12 months behind everyone else (and we can’t convert even when it does click) and our list has several gaping holes courtesy of past failures - but the real...

What you’re describing is the point I was making - there are numerous issues and it’s not possible to target one culprit with a silver bullet eg “sack Voss to fix everything”. That’s the nuance I was talking about. For example, I am allowed to have my doubts about Voss and his game plan while...

Go back to my original post. These are the exact words I used: “supporters shirking it - leaving early and abusing players - is the absolute worst”. If you’re not abusing players, you’re not in the group of supporters I was referring to. Was that not clear? It seems there was enough room for...

Are we really defending player abuse now? Leaving early is not something I do but if you must, is it too much to ask that you don’t abuse players on your way out? Of course people have their own reasons for when they arrive and depart games, and of course they don’t have to justify those...

The state of the Carlton fanbase is more concerning to me than the onfield product at the moment - incredible given the state of the latter. Every game we fail to win, the tension manages to reach new heights. It’s understandable because we’ve been suffering for so long and it feels like another...

Good result for all parties. You love to see it.

;) Good luck Vossy.

There is a fair bit happening. Clarkson turned us down again this morning. Could be proven wrong but the latest info I have is Voss.

I believe it will be Voss. Clarkson declined, again. #Bluemour

Scarlett is likely to come across. Great get. #Bluemour

Cook :thumbsu:

I’m just over here manifesting Clarko. Maybe if we all try, we can do it.

Teague is gone. The club as per usual has handled it diabolically and placed him in a terrible situation but that doesn’t absolve him of anything. He is trying to burn the place down on his way out, and certainly not endearing himself to anyone in the process - the Cripps saga exposes what’s...

Another encouraging effort from Charlie this morning. Got through unscathed. He’s building.

5. Walsh - I would give him every vote if possible. Wow. 4. Weitering 3. McKay 2. Kennedy 1. Silvagni BNB: Stocker

I’m not convinced we have such solid gold midfield stocks, certainly not in the areas where Cerra excels, and certainly not to the depth of the top sides. I am vastly more bullish on the likes of Dow, Kennedy etc. after the last couple of weeks (Dow especially, it looks like the penny has...

Well said. He has a hard edge that we otherwise lack. More please!

You’re not wrong. I’d happily give up our 1st rounder for him, but Freo would no doubt want more. Certainly not an extra 1st, but maybe a 2nd? I think he is somewhat underrated. Big classy mid who is still only 21, Freo have basically spent 70+ games developing him and he’s now ready to launch...

Cerra was very good last night, especially in the first half. He’s the same draft vintage as Dow, already shown plenty with a weak supporting cast and still has lots of improvement. I am very keen for the right price.

You’re right, *external. And not at all. Plenty of discussion about Barker but I think we can at least excuse him for not launching out of the coaches box and onto the field for Stocker’s first goal.

Stocker kicks his first goal and teammates don’t adequately celebrate with him. Next minute, external review & heads are rolling. People will treat the man with respect or suffer the consequences.

Although we’re staying pretty quiet, there is plenty happening. The Dodo’s posturing across all fronts as always is holding things up, so there’s a deal brewing with a few of the other clubs involved (WB, GWS and Port) to work around him. Everyone knew he’d mishandle it so moves are being made...

Pick 7 + Walsh/C Curnow. Just your normal, sane asking price for an out-of-contract 26 year old.
