    Analysis 2024 National Draft

    I love Acres, but his kicking and decision making is nowhere near the level of Langford.

    Analysis 2024 National Draft

    I agree with you completely on Langford. I haven't watched as many highlights as others on here, but he really excites me. I know the knock on him is pace, and we are lacking a player with burst from stoppages. But his composure, elite kicking and footy IQ are next level. I would be very happy...

    Where is the poster formerly known as Glicksy? Have we signed Trac yet?

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

    Exactly, if the Kennedy deal falls over (which appears to be linked to McRae going to Saints) a desperate Austin may be forced to deal with SOS if he wants the extra list spot. I have a feeling SOS is acutely aware of this and being opportunistic. Personally I would prefer Fantasia is paid out...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

    I'm guessing SOS smelled some desperation with our list spot crisis. Kennedy appears to be caught up in the Saints/McCrae/Bulldogs trade, and if that falls over Austin may in fact be desperate to move another like Kemp player out. It might be a smart move from SOS and I can see why Austin may...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVI - 'Loopy' Season in full swing

    Hang on, didn't you recently say your mate has just become a player manager and this is the first time you have had ITK info. Now you are saying you know people on the board as well and you have 'sources'? I appreciate the posts, but I'm confused

    It's a bad angle. You can't see what Xerri did with his left elbow.

    I wonder if Cottrell is coming in to play a forward defensive role on their most damaging player, Whitfield?

    No Oppo Supporters Essendon* - 7000 Milestone & Beyond 🥳 - Carlton Posters ONLY!

    I'm hoping they do play finals and they are still a fair chance. 4 of those games are against bottom 8 sides and all but the last are in Melbourne. But we should embrace this. Making the 8 will: 1. Give their supporters false hope 2. Push their draft picks back in one of the few uncompromised...

    Preview 2024 Rd 15 Carlton v Geelong Friday 21 June 7:40PM (AEST) @ MCG

    Spot on '4in5' Last time we played them, they were unbeaten and on top of the ladder. But they hadn't played a single team now in the 8 at that point. The Lions and Bulldogs were probably their best wins at the time. Those teams are in good form now, but they were a long way off the pace...

    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    On reflection I am less concerned about the differing opinions and more concerned that one of them recommended a second spinal surgery. It would not have been recommended lightly. I hope Red_man2008's mail is wrong on this occasion.

    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    Unless I am mistaken, the only person able to provide advice on back surgery is a neurosurgeon. To my knowledge, we don't have one on staff. So how is the club responsible for two external surgeons having a different opinion? Good to hear his back is heaps better by the way, but given this...

    Don't know much about Gianfagna, except that he didn't play a senior game for the Dees, and went on to captain the Northern Blues. Does that even things out?

    I like your thinking. Begs the question - who gives Tom a chop out? I wonder if Acres could play the JSOS role? Almost identical height and weight. Doesn't shirk a contest either.

    They well and truly put the whistle away in that game. Plenty of free kicks missed, for both sides. Good experience for our boys leading into finals I reckon.

    Autopsy 2023 Round 14 We needed this! Blues break the drought with big win over Suns

    The last 2 weeks Martin has been subbed out at 3 qtr time, and had no more than 8 possessions. I want him to do well, but all he has ever done is tease us with his potential. We need to move past him.

    Autopsy 2023 Round 14 We needed this! Blues break the drought with big win over Suns

    Play them both and use Martin as the sub. He clearly can't run out a whole game, so bring him on half-way through the third qtr

    Coach So you want Voss gone? Who will replace him and why would they want to coach Carlton?

    Getting sick of people saying 'the list isn't that good'. The talent is there. When I am at the ground, I am seeing effort. It's the gameplan. It is not working and it is sapping our players of confidence. They are constantly outnumbered, under pressure and confused. It makes them look slow...

    Injury Blue Healers Medical Room - 2023

    Just to clarify.... 1. My osteopath didn't treat Honey 2. He didn't say the info came from Honey's osteo Not surprising that a positive story like this has spread to others in the osteo community. Players talk. The club may be mentioning it to osteo's they are trying to recruit. Who knows...

    Injury Blue Healers Medical Room - 2023

    Spoke to my osteopath the other day, who works for another AFL club. Said our club has opened up a spot for one. Reckons Honey had some sort of procedure on his hip which was designed to give his knee some relief. I didn't understand the technical lingo, but it was something like that. Said he...

    Ability is not the issue. H can kick them along the ground, around the corner, on the run, checkside, from outside 50... Has all the skills, it's a mental thing. Fev was on the money about keeping the ball still though. That's the key to consistency. All the greats had it. Reckon Owies and...

    Coach Michael Voss

    Agree with this. Jack Welch, arguably one of the most successful leaders of all time, sacked the bottom 10% of the employees in his team every year. He did that right through his career. Obviously it made the poorer performers work harder, but he felt it actually had a greater impact on the top...

    Bluemour 'Silly Season' Edition XXXIV

    If true, why not play him tomorrow and then rest him next week if he doesn't get up. Seems a bit cute to leave a star player on the sidelines when they have been cleared to play. Whatever happened to 'one week at a time'?

    Wow, there would be close to 1,000 unsold tickets available to all comers via that link. Great tip Aph. So what's the deal with the secret link? Nothing worse than seeing empty seats at the ground when supporters who want to go, can't buy tickets.
