But Betts was held, Betts was held!!!

Doesn't surprise me this stage act would happen.

Pretty sure SOS was the one who " rolled over " big time a few years back when Carlscum got busted for all their salary cap rorting. Threw the club n a handful of players under the investigator bus. Old man Elliott was furious at the time n it'd be no surprise if he hasn't forgiven SOS n took the opportunity to sink in a sneaky slipper. Old man Elliott's had a pretty fair crack at the long lunches over the years, reckon they might be starting to catch up on him a bit.

To that I say good on him, with the Essendon debacle we've seen the opposite and most on here wanted players like Watson to be more honest.

We need a good laugh in the off-season

Eddie's kicked 4 goals 1 behind in his last 4 games against us. If that's the good luck charm they're banking on, bring it on.

All Betts are off

2 of those in the last game v Crows over there when Astbury was out (in addition to Rance) and Grimes had to play tall, leaving Eddie on Stack (Eddie kicked 2 but Syd picked up 22 touches so wouldn't say Eddie completely pantsed Stack either)

I am starting to get a little concerned about Carlton’s cellar dwelling ways continuing because they are building a decent list, which makes sense because they have had high draft picks for about 100 years running.
If Teague can coach at all they will improve quite a lot in 2020. (but we don’t know if he can yet of course)
Teams that go deep in finals, especially grand finalists, are vulnerable early in the season because they have had less pre season plus it’s hard mentally. I just hope it’s not 2020 when Carlton starts with a bang.

The other side to that is that the low teams are trained to the minute at the beginning of the season, so they can win a few and boost morale and memberships early. It takes to about round 5/6 for the teams expecting to play finals to start hitting top fitness

I like what Flossy had to say, Burge likes to say that we are better prepared as while lesser teams were sunning themselves on holidays our entire list, (both VFL & AFL), were slugging it out in the biggest games of the year, (much more beneficial than a couple of extra training sessions).

And the goal that everyone talked about when Stacky high fived him was in junk time, when the game was well and truly won.

Delusional as ever, the AFL website reports that the inclusion of Betts tips the scales in their favour in Rd 1. Lol Carlton.

Yep read that, pissed my pants.

Your right - it happened 2 years ago - we came off a short pre season, unfurled the flag and the blues jumped us by I think 5 goals to 1.

Then normality returned and we won the game in spite of them being gifted some massive 50 m penaltie.

So I wouldn’t worry to much Sin.

 

[tigerman]

lol@Cartoon will be into another rebuild before they know it. Simpson is 36 early next season Murphy will be 33, Betts is 33, Kruezer 31 early next season with the body of a 40 year old. Tuohy and Ed Curnow are both 30 and Casboult will be 30 early next season. That will be 7 players on wrong side of 30.
Time to get SOS back for another rebuild

Not sure a couple of weeks less pre season in November/December should have a flow on effect into March. It's more about the delays in getting surgery at the end of the season (up to 5 weeks for grand finalists). The majority of our players seem in good nick. We should beat Carlton convincingly in round 1. Surely though Carlton will improve next year.

I LOL at the MSD effort, rookie Josh Deluca, say its for the long term then flick him what 5 months later

Thats SOS all over

 

[Mopsy]

At the end of the day it really won't matter if the Bloos roll us in Rd 1, as unlikely that it is.

All we have to do is be square with the ledger at the bye rounds, then we launch from there, again.

Bloos grand final is in Rd 1, ours is on the last day in September.

Does seem to be a few players saying promises were made to them then reneged on. Not much has changed at Carlton. No wonder it's not a destination club for the gun players.

In fairness to Carlton, he didn't have a contract. Seems to have been some assumption on the player's part that might not have been justified.

Blues fans demand answers on Silvagni dismissal

Carlton CEO Cain Liddle has insisted the Blues were transparent about the circumstances surrounding Stephen Silvagni's dismissal as "appalled" fans demanded answers from top brass in an online club forum on Monday night.

You would think that Carlton would improve, but just imagine if Crippa went down...

Yep apparently Butler and Ellis made assumptions as well. Seems concise communication isn't a strong point at Carlton.
