Media Carlton in the Media (articles, podcasts etc) - Part IV

[myblueroan]

Oh Geez... they can't stop talking about us on FoxFooty.

On First Crack of a Port Dees match, they played that Carlton promo thing and they just started randomly talking about Carlton.

Kelli Underwood had to steer the convo back for the Dees fans that's stayed up.

It felt nice and fuzzy.

It is a happy virus. Gerard was waxing lyrical on his morning show. Speaking about how it wasn't hype or getting ahead of ourselves. He called our players and coach realistic in celebrating but well aware of what needs tweaking. He called us supporters the most playful of all and those who have a go like the 8 and 0 schtick on The Front Bar just teasing but no malice because people are pleased to have Carlton back competing.
It's just.......wtf????

Mguane article is correct regarding how vulnerable our defence is and how it is insulated by the midfield. We still turn the ball over and struggle to carry the ball forward from defence. However, Mcguane's black and white bias came out when he indicated Carlton is no certainty to make the 8. Hey, the Dees are not either, at this stage of the season

This just sums up all that is wrong with the media. Last year, everyone bemoaned the fact that our defence was under siege bacause the midfield wasn't defensive enough, now, when the club have somewhat turned that around, you get comments like the one above.

These pundits can just take whatever stance they like and then select the angle they want to justify it.

The fact that our defence is being "insulated" by the midfield is a positive, it's not a "vulnerability". Not to mention the fact that under Teague our key defenders had to become masters at one-on-one defence, so having more pressure upfield only makes their job easier.

Haven't seen this posted yet:

Weitering on defensive trust and personnel

AFL co-vice captain Jacob Weitering spoke about the team's system and need to remain level-headed when interviewed on 3AW Sportsday.

www.carltonfc.com.au

Seriously, have we ever had a player who speaks as well as Jacob? If we have, I cant remember them.

Self-assured, insightful, intelligent and humble. Quite the combination.

Great to hear he felt the need to remain level headed when interviewed on 3AW.

The AFL has finally acknowledged there’s only one team that brings in big crowds … and that’s us … lol

Yes we are the biggest crowd drawers now, they’re just giving the people what they want

's top 5 KPPs in 2022

Adam Cooney's top five key position players so far in 2022

“With his side playing well, he’s starting to get the plaudits that he deserves.”

Cooney: He’s been a very consistent player over the last couple of years, but he’s gone to another level. With his side playing well, he’s starting to get the plaudits that he deserves.

Cornes: I was there at the MCG last week. It was one of the best games I’ve seen ever from a key defender and I know that’s a big statement, but he was unbelievable and I bet you he doesn’t get the three Brownlow votes

 

[Blue1980]

H/S headline about Mick McGuane admitting he was wrong about Carlton (the same bloke who rated our midfield, forwards and defence all at about 14th to 15th best in the comp) but that he still has lots of concerns.

His main concerns should be;

• The fraudulent way that he took money from us when his career was effectively over.
• How he has let himself go to the extent that he has
• H/S realises that even by their pitiful standards that his analytical standards aren't up to scratch.

Apparently we could easily be 1 and 2 though.

Well we were dumb enough to recruit him when it was obvious to everyone his body was shot

 

[Blue1980]

To be fair there are some valid points there. However it is misleading to make summations about teams comparatively after 3 games, as in Carlton have only scored from chains from their back half 10% of the time whilst Brisbane have 17% of the time this year - ANSWER Carlton haven't played and defeated the Kangaroos by 108 thus distorting said statistic.

I'm still not convinced that scoring a lot from the midfield is not sustainable. At the very worst continue to keep scoring from your strong midfield and continue to work to add other layers like scoring from turnovers.

Don't think that he gives our defence as much credit as he should either. Sure, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are one very good KPD off where we would like to be however we have one elite KPD and our small to mid size defenders (Saad, Williams, Docherty, Stocker, Newman) are probably as good collectively, if not better than those of any other team in the comp. A fit McGovern and OMac/Young being able to curb an opponent means that our defence is a long long way away from being a weakness.

I don’t think anyone is arguing otherwise, but I think the Hawks current scoring of basically all from back half and via turnovers to be way less sustainable than ours.

I think it’s easier to tighten up defensively than suddenly win heaps of clearances when you currently aren’t doing so.

Whately has that effect on people.

Cerra probably heard that Whately has bashed us in the media for the last 5 years. He's never let go of that '95 belting....

Strongly recommend Newman's radio interview on the club website - good insight into the review from the Hawks game

Wait until a week we lose contested and clearances, you might see our turnovers from the back half hurt us on the score board.

I'm looking forward to playing every Friday night next year...

That will really annoy the tier 2 clubs....

Thanks but can’t atm.

Any chance you can list a couple of the points he made regarding review?

Touched on the need to slow down and lower the eyes to deal with the Hawks flood - he covered the same ground as much of the discussion on here but from an articulate player's perspective

Thanks.

I’m looking forward to seeing how we deal with it next time it happens.

Property section in the h/s has a puff piece about doc and his wife purchasing a new place "south of the cbd" for $2.86mill.

Hoping that the good times continue for the good doctor.

Would be one of the smartest bit of recruiting that I can remember.

Really ticking some boxes our recruiting team! SOS's understudies.
