Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 2

[branedotorg]

So, my wife and I are are doing a big trip down to Melbourne town for the weekend of the Collingwood game.

We need recommendations to have the most Carlton day possible.

Which pub is the best, what tram should we take to the game. What tram/ train should we take to the best pub/bar for celebratory drinks post smashing the woods.

(We’re staying in Carlton)

All much appreciated

For a non-footy pub in Carlton go to the Lincoln Hotel on Queensberry st.

Great semi-fancy local

Naughton's hotel on royal parade would be a good start. They have some great old Carlton photos in the back part of the pub and of course its the sight sticks sang stand by your man at after 87. Also where all the boys went to after 95.
Also the food is top notch, great indoor/outdoor area, and good beers.

Go to Princes park have a look around, head down to Naughton's on the tram from there head into the city.

You may claim my firstborn.

(Thanks a million)

So I reckon Patrick Cripps is now on approx 15-17 votes in a 6 game stretch. I wanted to see how that compares with the best stretches in AFL (from a Brownlow perspective). Voting for individual players has got higher in recent times, hence the recency bias in the below.

Kouta 2000 - 15 votes in 7 games
Judd 2010 - 15 Votes in 5 games (first 5 rounds). 30 votes total season
Swan 2011 - 13 votes in 5 games was his best run.
Dangerfield 2015 - Best run was 15 votes in 8 games.
Fyfe 2016 - 29 Votes in a 12 game stretch, including 17 votes in 6 games. Was on another planet for a time there.
Dusty 2017 - Best run was 13 Votes in 6 games.
Neale 2020 - Had 12 in 4 games and 13 in 5 games separately. Also got 31 votes in a shortened season.

How do we reckon Cripps' stretch ranks against the best ever? Fyfe at the start of 2016 was probably the best I can remember, and Cripps is bloody close to that. Dusty's 2017 was unbelievable but Fyfe was on track for 40 votes for a while there.

Justin Madden had 5 consecutive BOGs in 1985!

You know you are a Carlton tragic when you see the following headline



And before you can register the whole headline, the first thing your eyes notice is the word SOS and you think the story relates to Carlton...

Don't mind this AA Team


P CRIPPS CAPTAIN

 

[ferrisb]

4 players in the (rolling) AA 22. Not including guns in Walsh and McKay

Our top end talent is ridiculous

Some of the comments from the FoxFooty tweet are hilarious.

Are there any pubs in Carlton that sponsor the club? Or are partners?

Nope

Get to the Great Northern if you're looking for a bit of history and a great feed!

has taken more running bounces than anyone else in the league, so much so that he has taken more than 2nd and 3rd combined.

[TJohn]

Thank You. Why do we call him Bam Bam?

Childhood nickname, coz neighbours thought he looked like the Flinstone character Bam Bam.

On the topic, why TF is Walsh called 'Worpa'?

Just guessing, but think it may be Warpa as in Star Trek’s Warp drive/speed.
