Kingy on the sauce?

Saying great back 6 defence by Adelaide and they show 8+ players defending LOL!

 

[Passmore]

That sheezel bloke goes ok

He’s in my great 8.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Absolutely criminal that teams just seem to let him do as he pleases

Also daylight robbery that he went at 56 in the draft. Elite recruiting by Sydney.

 

[scottywiper]

Carlton juggernaut upended.
I did find all the talk of them being a powerhouse, top side last week amusing.
They didn't play finals last year. Or the year before... Or the year before that.
I missed their emergence as a force.

 

[Mav]

Seems Dani doesn't feel quite as accepted by the sandgroper supporter base as with roo fans

WC fans would have to be the most feral of any team.

Do you smell what they're cooking?

 

[dus]

Was crippa even playing?

Will still probably get 1 vote off the umps. They’ll find a way.

I know Voss gets ridiculous plaudits for turning them around and they are 4-1...but I am not sure I see it with Blues.
To me at the moment they look like a team who should be better than they are with the talent they have amassed. And given their obvious salary cap dodging. Their sum is not greater than their parts so I don't see that Voss has really done much at all.

 

[JGreezy]

Out of that lot only Stevo has a chance of being a bench warmer in a finals side .

He's kicked 2 goals in a grand final

They were 8-2 last year, had 4 All Australians, the Coleman and Brownlow Medallists and yet still couldn't make finals. Voss is definitely cooked.

Depends what was said. If it's stuff about the transition - obviously disrespectful. But a lot of people haven't forgotten the stalking stuff. If it's that it's fair game imo.

West Coast fans are the worst in the league.

 

[DuckYeah]

Voss isn’t a great coach. Cripps could captain coach that team to the finals.

 

[koshari]

first 4 names carlton will be dropping,

Nick Foot (2), Leigh Haussen (5), Alex Whetton (19), Craig Fleer (26)

didnt even look like getting them acoss the line.

Ah yes, the Advanced Leg Sweep Tackle Technique!

 

[Marstermind]

If I were a Carlton fan and there was a chance Silvagni could get a week for this.

There are a few Ferraris at Carlton, but way too many shit trucks. Silvagni is a shit truck.

There are a few Ferraris at Carlton, but way too many s**t trucks. Silvagni is a s**t truck.

Carlton do seem very top heavy. A lot of high end and b graders, but then some very average players with nothing in the middle range.

 

[Samsquanch]

Gee, they are squealing about Cripps being held and not getting free kicks. Well ya Carlton mugs, that is exactly the tactic Carlton used last week to quieten LDU and ya's all thought it was great so get a dog up ya all and shut up.

 

[Ischenko]

Brother I'm pretty sure he was starting 18 in a grand final side

Plus Turner has played in prelims, Scott less than 50 games, Bonar less than 50 games, Taylor only 50 games, Howe is depth. This shitmen stuff ad nauseam is boring af, can we give it a rest PLEASE.

Boring and obvious.

We're 4 games into the first upswing from a complete rebuild. Yeah, we have some ordinary players on our list and really aren't a good team yet. Hold the front page. No one is happy about where we've been, or where we're at. We're going to lose games. But personally, I'm excited about where we're going and, so far this year, after three years disengaged from watching the game, enjoying the journey.

 

[Roosurgence]

Motlop flops like a bloody fish every time he gets tackled. Glad the umpire isn’t falling for the same “holding the man” calls we were pinged for last week every time a player drops the ball in a tackle.

But you have to ask yourself, why the change of interpretation now? It seems every week we are umpired to a different standard to most teams.

People need to wake up and smell the roses, whether it’s consciously or subconsciously, the umpires have no issue on shitting on us because we are seen as irrelevant.

 

[Ashley B]

It was refreshing to see Carlton getting some Rodgering from the Rogers
