Tough for the young fella, he's had an average first few years at AFL level. My sympathy for Carlscum though knows no bounds.

Now, I am no expert but I'm sure the more learned could identify perhaps some slanderous accusations in that article.

But along with our tragic result in the '13 EF in losing a final to the team outside the 8, may I also ask how did this mob beat us by some 14 goals in that first round in '12?

Disunity is death.

Malthouse was on the Kreuzer bus apparently rather than Hyundai!

While they got us on the day, I reckon in hindsight it was a great result.

They believed they were better than they were and we had to face the fact that we weren’t good enough without working strategically on things. The trajectory of both sides since that day has been a complete contrast in planning, preparation and identifying realities.

And they haven't beaten us since.

Speaking to a Carlton offical at work during the week.
they are very confident.
” ready to maul you guys”
were the words.

"Oh are they"?

"That's nice"!

"Our guys are pissed and ready to maul the entire competition and win our 4th flag in 6 years to make up for last year".

Phhhhht what is he, a Septic or something??
After being stitched up game after game for years, one might expect he'd be " quietly " in fact very quietly optimistic about round one. Perhaps even waiting until such time as they actually beat us before making a noise.

Yeah, you have to be optimistic before the season especially after a lot of lean years. I'm sure we were expecting to beat Carlton before just about every season opener in the bad old days.

I can understand optimism, I can understand being a bit gung ho about it, but if we maul them in round 1 then they can't complain about any blowback they get.

Their fans think they will beat us easy in the first round esp in the midfield. As they now think they have a top /super midfield . And they think our midfield players are old and finished .
Time will tell . Hope we smash em .

Ha. That's not the Carlton way! However, tides have to change sometime. Might be closer this year ... maybe. First game of the season really means little anyway.
