Toast The New Carlton Thread: Lukey Sayers adds his utensil to the wooden spoons

[sideswipe]

If PWC are their auditors I’m sure they will find a way to cook the books……

Was hoping they would be the ones, but I think it is EY.

You can’t compare it to a normal year. There are 23 rounds now. Likely need 13 wins to qualify. They’d need to win 9 out of 12 games. It’s do-able (last year we won 10 of our last 12 games) but can Carlton do it?

Are Carlolton a competent, well run club lead by an astute and innovative coach. Full of players with skill, desire and a never say die attitude?
I‘d say their chances are low.

Last year was fun kicking them out of contention at the last minute

This year it would be better to savour a death spiral

We want to hear ‘re-build’ dribble from their slack-jawed supporters

That's what it is isn't, the new Carlton perfection. "How to satisfy the Pies". Multiple chapters written
1. We don't bottom out, well not until we started the "Spoon Race".
2. Carlton don't rebuild, good to see Jack was right for once, he just forgot to add "successfully"
3. The Malthouse diaries, a ripping read
4. Subchapter to the above, "Mick recruits a son"
5. How to crash out of finals with maximum effect. Jamies last goal is on constant replay in my mind, cant stop smiling.
6 Give the Pies a 2nd rounder to incentivise their joy
7. Current chapter, "Dash hopes....... again". Have a season like the Messerschmidt we watched in war movies as kids. Dark force threatens the world til the Messerschmidt takes one up the rear and then death spirals into the Atlantic. The theatre, free world, AFL and all and sundry whoop into applause but Collingwood supporters smile, that pick 21 smile, so much stronger than all the rest.

Jeez, the viciousness and contempt in the evisceration of Carlton by posters here is startling.

I'm loving very minute of it. I could almost cry with joy.

Sayers looking for a job after PWC sacked him…..

Lol. The Mick Malthouse era 2013-2015

And the 8th was only because of the Dopers.

11 years. 6 coaches.

I see the Baggers are headed to the Tribunal again. If only they had the fighting spirit of their lawyers.

Cerra's appealing. He wants more weeks.

 

[Vicky Park]

Loving the unrest. Their club is going pretty well off-field but the coach/players are the ones stinking it up. "Vossy is contracted so lets have a go at the board".

"Oh look there's Mike Fitzpatrick. He can fix things!"

Messiah-chasing idiots living in the past. Last night the media was doorstopping "legends of the club" to see if they had anything to say. All blokes in their 60s/70s.

I was thinking of posting something about being pleased to see that their club is in the hands of old white men with tired old ideas…but didn’t coz I thought I’d get into trouble.

Thanks for doing it for me.

Unless there’s a technicality of Cripps’ proportions, he’s gone. Clear cut tackle of the kind they’re trying to eradicate.

He'd appeal if he got off.

No, I got it. T’was funny! I just played a straight bat.

EDIT: Now I’ve posted that and I’m wondering is the idiom a “straight bat” or a “dead bat”? I hate getting old and senile.

2ND EDIT: Nope, happy with “straight bat” in this instance. Thanks for the love and support over my intellectual ineptitude.

You’re playing a straight bat in a thread where everyone else is dancing down the pitch and slogging it over the stands?

It was only one post. I’m judging each ball on it’s merits. My strike rate is good even for T20.

Somebody has to be the Boycott of the team.

I'm just glad it's not Collingwood in the news, it's extra special that it's Carlton.

I think the players going to Tribunal should be forced to play, as punishment.

It's actually the mafia heading to IKON Park for a few tips

I'm not sure which is funnier out of 9th or being true cellar dwellers. Probably the former, particularly if we just sniff out finals hopes at the end of the season. Hard to decide
