   Seems more like a vendetta to me and apologies if I'm wrong. But it keeps going. He plays for us. He has a ton of potential and he's shown a lot already.
   Of course he'll improve with another pre season. And a good healthy mental headspace...positive environment in st CFC.
   
   If you can't encourage maybe dial it down. If it's personal work out is all I'm saying, cos it seems unfair. Especially whem you seem to have inside info. People pay attention to what you say.
   
   
   

He’s entitled to his opinion and I read all that as a criticism of his play at times

Never said he can’t play or doesn’t support him. Probably like me he has very high expectations of Elijah?

I think simple criticism of a flaw in his game has been turned into personal attack by the usual suspects

That’s my take

 

[Monty1978]

TBF where has he said he isn’t a fan.

All DQ has said that he doesn’t go hard all the time and when required. I 100% agree with this. Watch him closely and he at times he can cruise and not work hard enough

I wouldn’t call it lazy. I think it’s bad habits of a young player coming from GCS

When he improves this we will have an absolute gun

The way the post came across and I said I assumed … I don’t read every post knowing how that person is portraying the their post hence me asking …. also thanks for answering on his behalf .. all my questions will go to you next time for clarification.

 

[Soapy V]

Soapy, there’s no agenda - take the tin foil hat off

He said we’d never won a trade
A poster said Acres and Lij were steals
DQ said he had made his thoughts on Lij clear

Which implies he thinks Lij wasn’t a steal, if he thinks otherwise he can reply to my very playful, harmless response and tell me otherwise

It’s not that deep man, just chill dude

Tin foil hat? Seriously

 

[Soapy V]

That’s fair

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Tin foil hat? Seriously

Dude, this is light hearted banter - let’s tone it down and get back on topic

Just have a good day, agree to disagree

 

[Juice030103]

Can we move on please it’s frustrating reading this

 

[BIuebagger]

I really hope these whispers of different players being spoken to means we are being proactive this period whilst securing the Campos. A great off season trade/draft period, clearing out injury prone players off the books and strengthening/balancing the list could go a long way (as well as a fit list). Still am in the camp we should get Vossy a bit more support/have a slight back room staff refresh.

 

[Aphrodite]

Let it go please guys.

Time to move on!

 

[Benaly28]

Elijah is one of the best bargain recruits in the last 5 years.

Full stop.

Shouldn’t have to apologise for expressing your thoughts in a respectful manner on a public forum.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

If Eli's being questioned.
What's peoples opinions on Monahan's future prospects at Carlton?

Patience grasshopper.

 

[Pablito]

Conor Stone still an option? Anyone heard anything?

 

[jj1978]

Leppitsch and Caracalla both reported to be on the move this off season, both have massive amounts of premiership experience as players and coaches.

Yet no articles I’ve read, suggest they are coming to us.

Caracella back to Tigers.

 

[JJBagger]

Caracella back to Tigers.

Leppitsch to the bombers as senior assistant? Or head of footy? Or is that just a rumour?

 

[jj1978]

Not sure why he’d leave the Pies.. actually I’m sure.. McRae. Doubt he’d want to go and work with another ex team mate. I feel he likes to ride waves of up and coming success, I’m going to tip Hawks if anything

 

[BigFrizz36]

The mail is that he will take over Wright's job at the Pies, or so I thought. Bit of a Figjam for mine though.

Dont think he has made a bad call in any instance above - but hey that's my opinion. Also with all due respect- whilst I agree with your bolded statement above - why choose this POV to highlight and not the hundreds of poison pen stabs at Voss - far far worse has been stated about Voss by forum posters and whisperers....

not the place it used to be this forum - bu everything changes and such is life.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Aleer sounds great but imo a guy that isn’t best 22 just isn’t a 1st round pick trade.

Our 2025 2nd and our 2024 3rd gets the deal done. GWS are fair traders and he is sitting behind a very good group of key defenders. His price hasn’t improved from his draft pick.

He's a former pick 2 with 4 years of development under his belt.

Talls take time & he's competing with a stacked defense for a game in a top 4 side. KPD's are also very hard to find which drives his price up.

Seriously, take one look at him, he's a clear project player, as if he'd walk into that GWS lineup in his first few years.

He'd be great for us and definitely worth a late 1st. Only reason I see we'd get him cheaper as if it's a bit of a 'good will' trade like some clubs do (kinda like we did with Dow).

 

[katmanblue]

Does McKay out Petracca in make us a better team?

McKay is very valuable around the ground. Kicks goals, chases and tackles. Pays ruck minutes.

Petracca can turn a game.

It's really dependent on what else we could get done around list management. It's not an easy answer, and I really like McKay.

Just asking for evidence that’s all. Tired of people accusing others without proof or to suit an agenda

Fair

[Crippa#9]

I think there is a starting point for something that could work

McKay and Cerra for Petracca and Petty, perhaps with some pick shuffling to help us with F/S needs and then with their targets.

lol, Petty.

Pls.

I think it bothers me because DQ is known as an insider and they are usually impersonal, and just pass on info. And the repeated jabs got to me.
If it had just been 'gameday heat'...sure!
We've all been there. But it continued.
Dunno. Just felt I wanted to stick up for a player I thought didn't deserve it.

Aph asked us to stop and has already cleaned up the thread so can we leave it?

Also, I really welcome the info DQ gives us.

As for your perspective, I reckon there's a whole lot less bullying and clique stuff happening and I like that a lot. Even if we have lost a few. We all love Carlton and we mostly get on and have a laugh...ge insights from folks like you...hopefully Arrow is just away for a bit working. And will be back soon!

Let's face it JAB, we are all a bit toey about finals and beyond.

He definitely was not pick 2 mate
