Geelong always find the cap space. Had you not noticed?
Pretty sure Harley will want to go to a successful club though. Probs would like to win a flag. Rules you guys out.
I reckon Carlton could be on to something with their innovative "who needs small forwards strategy".
If they just bomb it long to Curnow again I'm sure it will work this time.
To be fair, Carlton actually had a fine list of other achievements in 2024 as well.
1. Owen 60 in a final. Very hard to accomplish. Very rare.
2. Being unable to defend a lead for 40 seconds against the Saints
3. Nearly beating. Collingwood twice... Nearly....
4. Getting rid of their best small...
I've been pitying them for years mate. It's impossible not to feel pity for the way their club has consistently humiliated them and let them down over such a long period. And the poor buggers keep on turning up with wide eyed hope and expectation year after year. And year after year their club...
Yeah way back 14 months ago when we won the flag... It's so long ago now it feels more like 30 years... But that's just a feeling. I'd have to defer to you on that.. lived experience and all.
2017 draft:
Carlton: pick 3: Paddy Dow.
Collingwood pick 39: Nathan Murphy.
2021 draft:
Carlton pick 27: Jesse Motlop
Collingwood pick 52 Harvey Harrison
Carlton is more than capable of screwing up another pick 3. Does the experience of history mean nothing to you?
Catch up with the conversation...
Yeah so your higher percentage this year logically means your 15-20 player are better than or equal to Collingwood's. Thats literally the " logic" he was spruiking.
Owies is a spud it's true but he was your best small forward by a mile 🤣 and your third highest goal scorer..You guys needed that spud.🤣
And it's not like you've recruited a superstar like Schultz to replace him.
Well normally when a club has a major weakness in an area of the ground (small forwards) they don't go and get rid of their best asset in that area (Owies) and expect to be better. But somehow Carlton fans do🤣.
The poor buggers have had their hearts ripped out so many times it's no wonder they have built such thick walls of delusion around themselves. It's the only way they can go on.
They'd be rocking back and forth in the foetal position sucking their thumbs if they let their minds take in the true...
Oh hey Fadge.
Fancy meeting you in a thread like this.
Voss is not getting enough attention. He has so far failed to establish a Carlton brand of football or a game plan with any sort of nuance.
He also has the whole playing below the sum of the parts. Not looking likely to become a...
Walsh started off so well. Full of promise and vitality.
But this year the Carlton really got a hold of him. Might be too late for him now. Once the Carlton gets in you you're screwed.
Yeah but what a win that was. Loved how the Saints let you hit the lead with less than a minute to go then stole it back with 12 seconds to go.
It was such a stirring comeback by the Bloos who'd been down all game. Bloos fans were absolutely creaming themselves ...but then Carlton Carltoned and...
I think that level of shitness might be outside the safety parameters of Fadge's Abacus. It could lead to an explosion if he tries to run those numbers
So this century it's:
Head to head: Saints 25, Carlton 11
Grand finals played: Saints 2; Carlton 0
Top 4 finishes Saints 5, Carlton 0
Wooden spoons collected: Saints 1, Carlton 5.
Yeah I can see why Carlton fans feel superior to the Saints🤣.
Yep. Everything's relative. What for us would be an embarrassing humiliation is to Carlton fans an event worthy of celebration. It all depends on how you've been conditioned over the years and what your lived experiences are.
For Carlton fans and finals it's a case of; If you are brought up...
Sorry to hear you missed it man.
It was hilarious to watch. At the same time keeping track of the Carlton GameDay thread just made it even funnier.
Then my non Australian wife who has NFI about AFL was coming in now and then and making comments like " what's wrong with that team. They can't...
Your list went backwards during this year onfield and then also during the trade period. Pick 3 ain't gonna turn that trend around for you next year.
Out of interest...what will be your small forward lineup next year?
Got the big shiny G buckle (Charly, Harry and Cripps) that distracts you from noticing that the "leather" making up the rest of it is made from recycled vinyl floorboards.
