Toast The New Carlton Thread: inexperienced Collingwood winger to rule Carlton (safe space for Blues' fans who aren't soft utensils)

[Vicky Park]

New number plates in your future?

Great idea! Xmas pressie for self coming up.

Or maybe I could follow the lead of the Pies fan who, for years after the 1990 GF, held up a sign with the winning score whenever we played the Bombers. I remember it fondly.

It's come to my attention that you are enjoying this way too much in accordance with BF rules

You're looking at an outdated rule book - I have the 345th Edition published last week.

Rule 3 (4), iii (a) clearly states "60 - 0 is hilarious and worthy of much enjoyment until repealed by a full Bench of BigFooty moderators".

Sub- rule 4.67.12 - Collingwood moderators are to have a majority on the full Bench until 2099

You seem to have missed the last line… “renewable in perpetuity.”

Who kicked 5 goals in the 1990 Grandfinal? Was my fav question.

I hope Carlton takes Draper but he turns out to be like his brother

How’s this for a nauseating read from the Age today written by Marc McGowan. Apparently Bloos are on their way to a premiership. Interesting point though that GW chose Fly over Flossy only 3years ago.

The bold, dark navy Blues: Carlton going all in for 2025


Carlton have made two bold bets that this year's disappointing campaign is merely a bump on the way to their premiership destiny.
It started with the Blues' decision to trade their future first- and second-round picks on Friday to secure Hawthorn's No.14 selection, which paved the way for a second blockbuster deal with West Coast on Monday that saw them grab the Eagles' No.3 choice. Carlton - who barely scraped into the top eight in 2024 after a stunning preliminary final surge 12 months ago - have not had a draft pick that early since anointing Sam Walsh as the dux of the 2018 class.
Now armed with pick three, the Blues are chips in for season 2025.
They are not due to enter next year's draft until the second round (tied to Brisbane), which could be in the late 30s or early 40s. But Carlton won't care if they are holding the premiership cup aloft for the first time since 1995.
List boss Nick Austin has barely put a foot wrong since crossing from the Western Bulldogs ahead of the 2020 season, and has a great opportunity with this top-three pick to help deliver this club a long-awaited flag.
The Blues may even use their shiny new selection from West Coast on one of Walsh's relatives, with the star midfielder's second cousin, Oakleigh Chargers onballer Finn O'Sullivan, one of this year's best prospects.
Some talent-spotters believe O'Sullivan is the most talented player in the crop. He is a rare package of skill, on-field vision, composure, competitiveness, endurance and is a strong mark. Unlike many young stars, O'Sullivan is willing to defend as well. One recruiter even told The Age he was close to a flawless prospect.
Assuming Richmond take Dustin Martin clone Sam Lalor at No.1, and North Melbourne opt for a tall rather than another midfielder, then O'Sullivan will be in play.
If the Blues have their eyes on someone else, or O'Sullivan is off the board already, they will still have a brilliant group of onballers to choose from.
There is the draft's best ball-winner, Jagga Smith - dubbed "the Rubber Man" by AFL talent manager Kevin Sheehan - the Dandenong Stingrays' big improver Harvey Langford, South Australia's Sid Draper, or even Josh Smillie, who is Cripps 2.0.
The Blues could even place a cheeky bid on livewire forward and Essendon's Next Generation Academy prospect Isaac Kako, even if the Bombers are as good as certain to match.
Whoever Carlton end up with will join a list brimming with top-liners.
Dual Brownlow medallist Patrick Cripps headlines a squad that also boasts Coleman medallists Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay, Jacob Weitering, Walsh, Adam Saad, Tom De Koning and Adam Cerra.
Sam Docherty still has plenty to offer, too, the Hollands brothers - Ollie and Elijah - are on the rise, and Carlton will hope ex-Giant Zac Williams can stay fit and that recruit Nick Haynes can turn back the clock.
The time is now for the Blues, and Austin and co recognised that with their wheeling and dealing this fortnight.
Coach Michael Voss re-signed in February until the end of 2026, but will be under pressure to right Carlton's ship and deliver on the wealth of talent at his disposal, particularly with Graham Wright arriving as chief executive Brian Cook's successor.
It is worth noting that Wright preferred Craig McRae over Voss as Collingwood's senior coach replacement for Nathan Buckley only three years ago.
There will be pressure on everyone to perform - but the Blues will not die wondering after an aggressive series of trades designed to put them over the top in an ever-competitive premiership race.

Sheeeesh… that reads as if it was written by the Carlton media team…

They already think pick 3 is a certain starter next year

Can we get the filters changed so that when you type carlton it displays 60-0

We need a pact - every Pies fan takes a large 60 - 0 sign to the Pies v Blose game.

efa

We're even sponsored by Carlton (Zero) , so should be easy to come up with something legit

I guess Carlton must be confident on who they want to take at 3 will still be there, hope Richmond throw a curve ball have enough picks to piss off carlton.

Bloos premiership cup aspirations released. This is what they are playing for

After 30 years they’d probably be happy with that. Better than nothing

Useless trivia, Brisbane won the GF by exactly the same margin as the headstart they were given in the EF

If it involves the Blose being trounced then it's not useless or trivial

 

[SchuPie]

Just my opinion but if we traded picks 12+14 for 3 in a super draft I'd be furious

I've said it before but the Blues need speed and disposal and they would have two swings at it

I hope they take Sullivan at 3

I don't normally do this, but this post from the Carlton Board was too good not to share. Gee I wish we were hitting the draft in 2022 instead of getting in the key pieces for our Premiership

Will be interesting. Collingwood will always be able to attract talent. But they're going to have so many holes to plug.

They should've been hitting the draft the last few years. I get not wanting to bottom out (ala Geelong) but Collingwood haven't been refreshing the list at the younger demographic for some time.

They're so concerned about our older players.. probably should be more worried about their own.

They sure are putting a lot of pressure on this one 18 year old they're picking up..

The funny thing is our old blokes never had pace. Pendles is still the best in the business at slowing the game down so pace was never an issue. Steele was never quick so hasn't really lost anything. Our age demographic is being blown out of proportion. Sure we've got to regenerate but a 25yo best 22 and a 27yo dual AA are pretty good "rebuild on the run" types. **** Carlton and their plans. They'll pick a spud with Pick 3 and be shit again for a decade

Vicky Park as soon as he said 60-0 I thought of you

carlton put all their chips in to secure pick 3 is savvy, we put all our chips in to secure a dual AA and that’s reckless!
