post basically justifies the hurling of abuse at players as if they aren't aware of the problem until that happens....quality work.....
Not really thylacine. The point is not to stay mute. Like the posters after a loss posting extreme stuff you also take the extreme point of a balanced post and bend it.

IMO, this topic is grey scale when many are more black and white.

Supporters in their frustration (not condoning violence like you are inferring but more peaceful protest) have played a part in this turnaround forcing the group to address their goals/form.

Thank god for this vs the mute supporter.

You know when clubs are struggling and players, coaches and admin tell media they just had to shut out the clutter from outside noise? Guess what.
 
Call me crazy but this injury run 'feels' different to our many others.
Club is seemingly happy to be ultra conservative and hold players back for an extra week or so.

I feel like if this was last season Walsh, Cerra, McGovern and Harry may be playing this week or earlier.
Can't help but feel like this is a reason we fell in a heap at the end of last year.
If we manage to play finals the conservatism plus the pre-finals bye may really pay dividends for us... fingers crossed anyway.

It sucks we don't have these guys available for such a huge game Saturday night.

The positives? We really only need to win one more game and we're a finals lock. We'll also see the cavalry return across the next 2-3 weeks and we'll be heading into finals with up to 1/3rd of our team on some seriously fresh legs...
 
There's actually some good stuff on there. Thanks for posting that, I just got my new Avatar.
So good! The only negative is their poor search system/cataloguing. Unless, I've missed it somewhere they don't catalogue by club and searching 'Carlton' brings up every single product due to their brand name.

We actually need to win 2 to be a guaranteed finals lock…
1 win would mean so many results needing to fall our way, which would be highly doubtful…

I thought the same thing. Went to "Footy" and there's 38 pages to go through.
Pretty funny stuff though. Brownless: Smells Like Ten Schooners

Playing with the ladder predictor, one more makes it very hard for us to miss.

If all the favourites win, then as long as we win one we're in.

Even if some of the results don't go our way, as long as we win one more the only scenario that results in us missing is if Sydney go on a crazy run.

Well that’s actually pretty good news but still not a lock, plus we want to get as high as possible to gain a home final…
I gave up on the ladder predictor a month ago, results have been all over the place…
 
So many of the clubs competing for spots play each other, and 2 of them play Brisbane at the Gabba.
If we win 1 more, it's almost certain we make it.
Good news 👍
We need to land a home final, so another two wins almost guarantees that…
We’re owed a MCG final, all of us have been waiting far too long for an interstate final trip…
(Apologies to all the interstate supporters) I’m very selfish…

If all the relevant favourites had won last week, we'd be two games clear of 9th. None of them won.

home ground is a relevant consideration, but I'd just be happy to make it in any shape or form. I think when all healthy we are clearly the best team from 5th onwards.

Geelong at their best could threaten us, but they don't look like it. Who knows in finals though.
 
yes, but you've missed the point as usual. have a read of the 3rd line.
I did, it doesn't really hold up. Sydney are a game and 6% behind us. They play GC, Adelaide and Melbourne. If we only win one more, they only need to win 2 to draw level. I don't call beating GC and Adelaide and being able to boost their percentage a bit a crazy winning run. Not to mention the prospect that them rolling Melbourne in Sydney in the last round is entirely possible.

Is it more likely than not that one win is enough? Sure. But far from a sure thing. Hopefully some results go our way this weekend and it becomes so

I used to be a slave to the ladder predictor until it dawned upon me that it's a very rare occasion where I get 9 picks right in any week let alone weeks in advance. I tend to give it a wide berth these days and just worry about the week ahead.

Fair point.

one of the blues podcasters (can't remember which) was saying he won't stop being nervous until we're mathematically a lock.

after last year, who can blame him?
