For that sort of money he can learn to kick a drop punt instead of this kicking around the corner bulls*** when directly in front of goal.

Shocking habit not just by him, but a few players.

On another note...

How is it that the Carlton AFLW program is somehow escaping scrutiny?

We've won one game from six starts (that was by a point, against a team in their first season), kicked one goal a game in the past two matches/two goals in eight quarters (one of those against a team that lost by a record margin in their previous outing) and as a foundation club of the AFLW, have only gone backwards at a rate of knots in recent seasons.

Key players have left in droves over the past couple of seasons (why?) and winning does not seem the priority there.

Yet somehow there are no calls for a review into the program, nor any home truths, rather, let's just cheer-lead about how 'amazing' it is that the 'game-changers' are out there having a go.

Season five and as a foundation club bold enough to take the leap all those years ago, it is bitterly disappointing.

I've commented on Carlton's AFLW situation on our AFLW board. Carlton have donated some great players to us (and other clubs) and from grand finalists they are now easy beats - probably the worst performing foundation AFLW club. Twitter commentary suggests Harford is a problem.

Maher. The quintessential “blokey bloke” drone with a strong mix of hand wringing thrown in. Everything’s a tragedy, disgrace etc.

Him and Gaze. Zzzzzz.

Can you explain all that to Kane Cornes please. I’ve been texting him but he won’t reply. Maybe my repeated use of the word dullard isn’t helping….

He doesn’t know what dullard means.
Change it to *smile* stick and he’ll probably answer

Agree 100%
Disgraceful that a bloke on 700k can't kick straight..
It's hard to watch at times

Poor bloke can’t play this year to justify his $800k salary.

With Carlton supposedly having a tight salary cap, if they lose any players at seasons end he will be dragged into it via the media.
