Think Tank Is the AFL world ready to admit some truths about Charlie Curnow and Carlton FC?

[Irish BlueBagger]

I really hope we get Carlton in an elimination final. It’s been really disappointing having you in our pocket for so long only to have you fail to make finals despite your ever growing brown paper bag list!

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Turn it up ffs. The only “ in form “ that matters is preliminary final form.
The journey 7 weeks leading up
to that day is a long road of hard work with limited injuries to key personnel

Collingwood had an off night. They were due. Don’t get too excited there matey.

We needed the win more than them for sure, but the way we've been playing the last few weeks makes me feel that we've turned the corner.

The typical Carlton thing to do would've been to kick Vossy out after the defeat to Essendon.

We kept the faith in the coach though, the players took ownership of the situation, and now we look like a totally transformed team.

I think we'll be seriously hard to beat in the finals, when/if we hopefully make it there. Flags aren't easy prizes to win for sure, but i think all Carlton fans are just enjoying the moment now.

The Bulldogs pulled a flag out of the bag, when they weren't expected to do it. So who knows what might happen.

I have two points to make.

1. On form, Carlton is a top 2 favourite for the premiership. I'll still give Collingwood the number 1 position for now but no other team has a better claim than us to number 2 in the power rankings.
2. Charlie Curnow is the best player in the world. Look at the Coleman medal race and how far ahead he is of every other forward. No midfielder can claim that kind of separation from other mids. If Umps voted fairly and didn't have a positional bias he would be running away with the Brownlow.

A few weeks ago both these claims would have been enough for someone to order a mental health check on me. But now it cannot even be blamed on the bottle of Chandon I have had tonight. These two positions are entirely rational and reasonable.

6 weeks ago one of your supporters spat on him. Only at Carlton!

Jack Martin was the difference but Cripps is still slow and any team with Paddy Dow getting a game is shite.

I think Dow is handy to have around as a squad player.

Of course you ain't going to win a flag with a team of Paddy Dows, but he does give it his all whenever he does get a game. I respect him for that at least.

That was a low moment for this club alright. Tigers fans have had their moments over the years though. The manure truck incident being a stand out one.

 

[00Stinger]

yeah still, let us revel being 5th for a few more hours

 

[Feraligatr]

I'm willing to concede that Carlton will probably make finals. That's all you get.

Four rounds left for them to choke it up.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The Crims are desperate to finish 5th and have the Donnies finish 8th. The Crims obviously reckon the Donnies are sure to maintain their record.

I hope so but I think it relies to much on st kilda.

I'll take it

Even better than those AFL footballers in Nicaragua? Get outta here.

As the dogs and giants play each other, we can’t end the round lower than 8th.

Unless Richmond beat the Dees by 250 points.

Impossible since dogs play GWS.. unless you are planning to tank to Richmond by 500 points

 

[Sun Ra]

Curnow goal rate is unprecedented. Nobody in history has kicked 3.4 goals a game right?

From charity free kicks you mean ?

 

[NetworkNerd]

Nearly a 3:1 for:against ratio.

Most key forwards give away more than they get... Let alone nearly 3:1 for

When the tiges finish 12th , which team do they play against first week of finals ? Just curious

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

I'll take it

Great win last night friend. I always say the next best thing to Melbourne winning is Collingwood losing.

Thanks friend, it's even sweeter knowing it rustled the jimmies of Cat, Dogs, Saints, Swans, Tigers and * fans .

The melts on those club boards last night was absolutely orgasmic

Curnow thought the umpires were magnificent last night.

How many goals did the campaigner get from frees ?

I thought it was a bit embarrassing tbh - if he had any sense of decency or integrity, he would have kicked those frees the maggots paid him, in front of goals in the last quarter, out on the full, just to prove a point and make a statement. You don't want to win like that. It would never happen at a Saints game.

He's definitely into the umps rooms after the game.

He was first to the ball and in doing so earned more frees. If Darcy played in front, he could have curtailed Curmows influence. However, we all know Darcy prefers to play from behind.

 

[Cyclops]

I'm ready to admit Curnow is a small game specialist.

Now if we know anything about Carlton, the next thing they'll do is turn on each other and self destruct, minnow style.

Its quite OK to see everything in terms of gay sex. If the way Moore looks makes you have sexual thoughts good luck to you.

I prefer footy for the field and keep my sexy times in private with the missus, that way there's only one person giggling at me- and like a true Pie I always finish second
