The state of Hutchy honestly, you'd think Kornes would take him for a run once in a while.

Doesn't matter about looks mate

 

[PowerBaz]

We've barely been mentioned in the media this year. All we have been hearing is why are Collingwood so sh*t.....

Boring.

And if we wear the bars all we’ll hear is Eddie...

They prefer picking over the carcass than talking about teams travelling well & always have.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Did they cross to Georgie Parker at Sportsbet to get the odds on Buckleys sacking?

Sick of seeing Shaq’s giant ****ing arse on tv

Unless it’s Melbourne or Footscray doing well. They’re getting plenty of hype.

I'm a bit worried about this now. The games in 3 weeks isn't it? How have they not come to a decision?

Imagine how much he was paid for that shit

Oh I've heard plenty about the rampaging dee's and astounding doggies, I fail to see how beating a collective of Collingwood, Dockers, Daints, North, a flaudering Giants and a Lions side that looked a shadow of their 2020 self is impressive.

Bar the one unconvincing game the dogs won over West Coast in Melbourne mind you and the Dee's win over Geelong they really havent been challenged yet.

I've still heard more about how shit Carlton, Collingwood & even North are this year than anything else. someone out there would have a pie chart on all this I'm sure.

"Tonight on AFL 360.....We talk about Carlton, St Kilda, Footscray, then get the coaches of Collingwood and Melbourne in the studio for a chat"

*roll credits*

Carlton? I don't believe it. They do know Carlton played Port, right?

's new haircut is ****ing weird!

 

[Byrons Firen]

Chris Scott's new haircut is ******* weird!

Matthew Lloyd likened it to that weird little spook Jeanne Pratt PMSL. Hutchy was appalled which made it funnier.

 

[Willsy10]

After all the shit Carlton have dished up over the last decade, the week after a loss to a premiership contending Port is a really odd time for the media to go to town on them.

We probably made them look more of a shambles than in the first few games.

Round 1. Carlton lose to Richmond by 25. Yeah they were coming up against the premiers, not a bad effort
Round 5. Carlton lose to Port Adelaide by 28. OMG, how bad are Carlton, coach must be sacked, list managers sacked, draft picks hopeless

They don't rate us.

It is a false -28, and they know it.

“Port had injuries and a lot of players banged up, so the Blues were a huge chance!”

Carlton’s injury list: Charlie Curnow (knee), Caleb Marchbank (knee), Nic Newman (knee), Jack Silvagni (shoulder), Jack Martin (knee), Oscar McDonald (back), Zac Williams (calf - test).

One of the more extreme cases of confirmation bias in media groupthink we’ve seen in recent years.

Half the media are Carlton fans, the real footy podcast last week all 3 were and for some reason thought Carlton had to get “a scalp” by beating us.

Why, I’m not sure, it was always wishful thinking and would have relied on us playing at our worst rather than them being any good.

Wonderful from a personal point of view — at 1.93 it was essentially the same as being dealt a pair of kings with the dealer showing a 6 — but jiminy jilikers.

On that same ‘The Age — Real Footy’ pod Jake Niall said he was annoyed that he was one of the many who were ‘sucked in, and tipped Carlton’.

Sucked in by what? A battling win over the hapless Suns?

Just nuts.

Niall and Bob Murphy were the only two that ended up tipping them.

The margins of those who tipped Port were mainly 2-3goals or less...Daisy Pearce had the largest Port win at 24pts.

It’s all hope and no substance with their supporter base...reflecting their on field performance rather well!

Yeah well it is the Anzac Day Blockbuster this weekend (yawn). Two totally shyt teams who couldn’t beat a Egg with the loser and the winner out of contention for this year.

Robo in yesterday's print media, "Interesting to see if Melbourne-Richmond ANZAC (Day) eve game attracts more fans that the Pies-Don (sic) match. That's never happened before."

 

[chiwigi]

It’s either amateur hour or a big reveal.

It’s not 50/50 there though.
90% chance of amateur hour.

If it’s denied then the AFL want to come out and say something. We would need to come out and say something too, strongly.
