The Carlton defenders on the MB are seriously deluded too. There is always an excuse

It's real shit for them genuinely but smashing a tv? My god that's something you should be embarrassed about.

Some of their top 30 drafting has been gloriously bad in the past 10 years.
2014 Blaine Boekhurst, Dillon Viojo Rainbow (Touk Miller and Braydon Maynard were the next 2 picked after DVR…ooof that hurts)
2015 Weitering, McKay, Curnow (nailed it)
2016 Petrevski-seton, Fisher
2017 Paddy Dow, Lachie o’brien (in the top ten), De Koning
2018 Sam Walsh, Liam Stocker
2019 Kemp, Sam Pilph (could have had Cody Weightman or Kosi Pickett if they had kept pick 9…kosi was a bit of a draft bolter though)
2020 no top 30 pick (got Saad)
2021 Motlop (has shown glimpses), got Cerra who has been above average
2022 Ollie Hollands, Cowan (both have had good first seasons)

I’ll point out that in 2014 they took Clem smith at pick 60. Harris Andrews went at 61

Pretty sure they also telegraphed a huge interest in Kyle Langford but no interest in Laverde so we knew to pick Langford first in our picks that bookended the Boekhurst pick

It’s just pure soothing music to the ears. Lovely

Yes, apparently we rated Laverde at 8 and Langford at 13. There’s a hilarious excerpt in Emma quayles book about the 2014 draft relating to Carlton. Something to the effect of their draft rankings seemed to be the reverse of every other club.Pretty sure they also telegraphed a huge interest in Kyle Langford but no interest in Laverde so we knew to pick Langford first in our picks that bookended the Boekhurst pick

It's funny to laugh at and all, but when it gets to this stage you have to ask "is this (level of fanaticism) healthy for me?"
it's pretty irresponsible of SEN to post it without any type of condemnation. come finals time SEN will probably report/quote people when the usual statements are made linking loses to an increase in domestic violence but they've fumbled the bag here (I will say that the tone of second one makes me suspect it could be a 'joke' call in but then it just changes to should SEN be posting it, image of text and all, without stating it's a parody?)
and perhaps one day a team will suffer a really disappointing loss and everyone will say "well at least they tired really hard!! and they put in a lot of passion into it!!!". It really is just the laziest form of analysis/discussion. chatgpt could write these "angry fan" scripts once you include a mixture of gambling odds from pre-season & before the game and the final margin of the game

Laughter is the best medicine - hopefully that answers your question.

This sounds like Holden Caulfield and all, too.
Saints moving the ball like Carlton.

Smashing a wine glass and the telly shows a lot of passion .. for being a tool.
Hate to say it but Carlton could just like… get better. That might address some of the big feelings we’re seeing here.
I mean - I condemn the broadcasting of this content of course. It’s really only the lowest common denominator who find this funny. And I’m quite embarrassed that faction includes me!
From reading the Blues autopsy thread, it is (pleasingly) very dire. They not even really talking about next week's game against Dees (which they seem to have basically conceded), but the Ess game the following week as the make or break game for Voss. Their supporters took so much hope into this season (rightly or wrongly) that they now want the whole joint torn to shreds.
