It's definitely a sign!!!

Also just doing a word search with one of my kids.

I definitely spend too much time on here!

Report on AFL.com.au from Riley Beveridge this morning, a few things to note since Riley is pretty well connected at the Blues:

1) SPS & LOB almost certain to not receive contract extensions. I’m assuming they will be traded. Dow also mentioned as a potential trade if a suitor is found which defies logic to me. We’d want at least a top 10 pick for Dow IMO but I’d prefer to hold onto him. He showed this year he could become a very special player. Brodie Kemp is also closing in on a new contract.

2) Sounds like we are now targeting more aerobic midfielders hence the links to Cerra, Hewett & Lipinski.

3) Riley Beveridge seems to have lost faith in the club, he’s started sinking in the boots like the rest of the media recently which is quite sad since he’s basically our only representative on AFL.com. Dangerous to bite the hand that leaks to you…

Riley is maybe the only person I listen to in the media when it comes to Carlton. Glad he’s sticking the boots in, we have been an utter disgrace for 20 years and he is genuinely invested in us because he’s a supporter.

HUN reporting Buckley has pulled out of our coaching race.

The race is a sham IMVHO. But I don’t mind it. If you know what you want. Geddit.

I’d argue that giving Freo pick 6 (or 8) is overs for Cerra as we could just use it in the ND and pick up Cerra. Someone might even offer up a downgrade on draft night which would still allow us to grab Cerra.

the PSD is not really an option as north hawks or Coll would take him before us. But in the end Freo will have to take indeed because he wants to leave and is uncontracted.

HUN reporting Buckley has pulled out of our coaching race.

He would have to have been in the race to be out of it.

Now that his name is associated with us a tad now - maybe a footy coaching development role?

Flashback:

It’s inevitable just give Ross the job today. There’s no one else interested

Yes there is.

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

Yes there is.

Who?? Don Pyke?

 

[Blue__Balls]

They don’t have a third. So it’s more like their second for our third.

Steak knives our way - that's a better prospect.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Love that the club was read the riot act.

Go hard or go home.

 

[Beyond Blue]

The issue with Dow is he has a lot of deficiencies in areas that are important for his best position as an inside mid:
- Poor Tank
- Poor Defensively
- Average Disposal
- Physically Small
- Struggles to Accumulate
- No secondary position

I would still prefer to keep him given his limited trade value, but he needs a massive pre-season to be in the round one team.

Isn’t that what was said about Dow at the end of last year?

 

[El Topo]

Yes I’m far more Gorgeous George Harris than MLG when it comes to laying down expectations and restoring our once ruthless culture - if that sounds too hard for some of them well this way to the exit

Obviously a deliberate leak, but fantastic if true. Carlton more than any other club needs a strong president to keep the various factions and interest groups in line

What player has risked going into the ND instead of a trade since Luke Ball?

'Drafting' Cerra in the ND has as much chance of happening as Carlton drafting me as a ruck...

Just more journos sinking the boots in while we’re down.

Would love Don Pyke to be involved, really want Sydney’s culture and brand of footy at our footy club

 

[marleyblue]

I reckon Riley has been leaked rubbish. Surely we aren't making major list management decisions without a senior coach on board. There is plenty of time before the trade period and we are not making decisions on 22/23 year old top 10 picks without input from the new coach.

I think having Lyon as head coach and Buckley in a development roll would be a pretty good couple of gets imo

I tend to agree but for me, the time to sink the boots in if Riley felt that way was during the season. I feel like we are finally seeing the winds of change, trying to identify and rectify our issues.

I don’t think the time to pile in on the club is now when every media jockey wants in on the click bait, contradicting everything they’ve said this season. The narrative has change from “Teague can’t coach” to “poor Teague deserved better”.

It should currently be “Carlton make the necessary changes aiming to rectify this year’s poor performance”. However shock jocks like Whately, Healy and now Beveridge want to spin the story to suit their own agenda. The last 20 years is the past. Sure it’s been crap but we have to look to the future. The failures of Pagan, Ratten, Malthouse, even Bolton make no difference to our current situation and what Sayers is trying to implement.

Wouldn't be the first over the last few days..

 

[GoBlues!]

I dreamt last night that Clarko was staying at my house and conducting interviews with Gethelred and happydude as potential assistant coaches.

He caught me eavesdropping and went absolutely ballistic at me.

It's definitely a sign!!!






















That I spend too much time on BF...

Did you check your walls this morning for any damage ferris...just to be sure.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

The media's collective take on all this is actually hilarious.

For the last two seasons Teague has demonstrated absolutely zero insight into how to best manage both a list and a gameplan.

It started last season in the hub when he played virtually the same team every single week, with games being squeezed in to fit the compressed schedule, until he ran that squad into the ground and we surrendered the season.

He also appeared to flat out refuse to set any standards at match committee throughout 2021, retaining underperforming senior players for weeks beyond what was fair or justified.

Throw in the overriding theme of his coaching tenure being a general lack of respect for defensive footy in any shape or form (which is staggering but he even articulated this before the Bulldogs match - "we'll just out-score them"), and you have somebody who just simply isn't up to it.

We have too many talented players to put up with this garbage and he had to be moved on, simple as that. The media can continue having a cry about it if they want but Carlton should be satisfied with their decision, even if it was a little messy in arriving at it.

 

[Pixelshooter]

Yep - good shopping by Port.

Pains me to say it but Dodo picked up a couple of bargains with Wright & Hind.

If you do your homework there’s bargains out there - Blues need to get better at this.

Spot on. I'm well and truly over he shopping around for established players at other clubs and doing very little to try and develop our own talent. Has been a major failing of the club for a number of years now.

Port has been phenomenal in recruitment in the last 3-4 years. Completely replenished their list with young players who have walked straight into the 22 and had meaningful impact

Just out of interest mate, how tall are you?

We saw D.P's culture at Adelaide.
That's Roos and Longmire's culture at Swans.
