@stancash1973 @NMFCOfficial Clarko might be proving that it's the players who make the coach and not the other way round.

@NMFCOfficial I think Clarko has been massively impacted by the racism saga... He looks completely deflated and defeated, there's just no spark any more, only excuses.

@ash_gallagher @CarltonFC I'd like to see Elijah put the left foot away for a while. Murdered more than a few when handball was an option.

Unsolicited @CarltonFC thoughts; 3 votes: P. Cripps ⭐️ Kemp & Kennedy so important 💪 Lowering the eyes 🙏 Zac Williams 😤 Hewett excellent 👌 Elijah 💐 Young solid Need this version of Pittonet Lord, Binns & Moir showed a bit ✅ 🐮👊 Durdin 😢 8th #AFLEaglesBlues

@BenCameron23 @abcsport Mick Malthouse also said, on your show, that we don't need to highlight violence against women in society because it's not really an issue. Maybe you can invest in someone next year with some credibility. Wayne Carey, Taryn Thomas?

Mick Malthouse says he would NOT offer Jake Stringer a contract. Says Essendon need to put out a message that they are not accepting “half-hearted efforts” anymore. Do you agree or disagree? @abcsport

@outbreezyWC For now

at least we have Harley. #AFLEaglesBlues

Pies fans be like, "OMG! You're so obsessed with us it's ridiculous!!" Dude you're game finished over 24 hours ago why are you on X scrolling Carlton posts? Shut ya neck and fuck off. #AFLEaglesBlues

@TrooRooSC @NicNegrepontis You're right Carlton aren't at the level required to do this every week. We've had some luck go our way this season, both good and bad. But in terms of wins and losses we've had more lucky wins than unlucky losses. Until we have 27-30 players vying for a spot we'll be up and down

@NicNegrepontis You can’t play to a standard you expect because you’re not at that level. Look at your competition, they’re just making Carlton look good.

The frustration is that if Carlton played with this pressure and intensity across the last 6 weeks then they wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with. Shouldn’t have to hit rock bottom to play to a standard befitting a top team. Can they do it when it absolutely matters next week?

@ash_gallagher @CarltonFC He only got holding the ball once yesterday so that's a huge improvement 🤣 I do wonder if he needs to get his hearing tested.

@19Matt72 @CarltonFC We all see it differently, my gripe with Ollie is how frequently his tackles are shrugged or how easily he’s moved off the ball due to his light frame. Next pre-season he needs to live in the gym.

Unsolicited @CarltonFC thoughts; Cripps couldn't have done more ⭐️ Weiters under duress 💪 Acres solid game Walsh battled Oli needs a spell, Cotters is not an automatic selection & Hewett was doing a lot more than Cez 2 x rucks ❌ Crippa deserved better ☹️ #AFLDogsBlues

@lucasblueboys @zeezou90 1 game every 6 weeks is not an opportunity. Marchbank wasn't on his own yesterday in having his colours lowered but he was the only player who hasn't been in the team for the past 8 weeks. Were obviously at least 1 short down back so we need an option for injuries.

@19Matt72 @zeezou90 He’s had an opportunity to prove himself yesterday, what I saw at the game was not great at all, we have to continue with Kemp + Weitering alone

We desperately need another stopping defender to help Weitering. Kemp and Marchbank when they play together is catastrophic and we can't rely on Gov to play a full season. I have big worries about the lack of power running in the midfield too. A lot of high kilometre crawling

@Michael93344083 @zeezou90 I saw enough of Young at the end of 2022 when he cost us 2 crucial games to know that he isn't the answer.

@simplyjasmina Lucky we fixed up our defensive structure 8 weeks ago otherwise we'd have been in serious trouble the past 2 games.

@19Matt72 you can't expect us to go from having absolutely no defensive structure the week before to a flawless structure. this is not an overnight fix? we are clearly going in the right direction.

nothing is ever good enough for carlton supporters. we just won a game and the first thing you wanna do is complain. just praise our defensive structure, appreciate our clearance work, admire our consistency for those first 3 quarters, take the 4 points and shut the fuck up.

@tipsypiggy2 @NicNegrepontis Since we ha e to bet on everything to do with the AFL.

The AFL being too slow to make an obvious tweak is going to cost Harley Reid the rising star and cost Isaac Heeney a good chance at the Brownlow in the same year. They’re too reactive. Should’ve upped the ‘fairest’ threshold ages ago.

@DEBOCODEB @7872gjsjbs @NicNegrepontis AFL fans midseason "Why have they changed the holding the ball rule half way through the season? This is madness!" Also AFL fans "That player seems like a nice bloke and now he can't win some award. We should change the rules midseason so that he might win it. This is madness!"

@7872gjsjbs @NicNegrepontis I think the rules are fucked. But they are the rules and players have to abide by them or pay the price. The whole AFL is a rabble, every d'ment is broken. They have nfi idea what they're doing and they're killing the game & our enjoyment of it. the whole place needs a clean out

@searlo54 @dm88alex @TheBackPocketAU I don't think Carlton relaxed on Saturday. Psychology plays a big part but not in the way that "getting ahead of themselves alludes to". Biggest shift in mentality was GWS getting the last goal of the first quarter. If Carlton stop that they probably win.

@19Matt72 @dm88alex @TheBackPocketAU You think mentality plays no part in how teams approach the game at different stages or in different circumstances?

They've made a prelim and sit second on the ladder? If your yardstick for achievement is flags, then this Sydney team haven't achieved anything either.

@searlo54 @dm88alex @TheBackPocketAU Carlton have a very big deficiency its their inability to combat teams who play the way that Carlton do. We opened up the Swans earlier this year then couldn't stop them when they woke up. Same as the Prelim last year. They need a plan B. It's not hubris it's technique.

@19Matt72 @dm88alex @TheBackPocketAU they did that got them in that position in the first place. And when an opponent begins to make a run, you can get more defensive, try to take possession more to break the momentum rather than applying scoreboard pressure through your own aggressive play.

@dm88alex @searlo54 @TheBackPocketAU AFL teams getting ahead of themselves is one of the laziest Furphys ever. It fails to recognise that there are 2 teams out there both trying to do the exact same thing in basically the exact same manner. You could say in 1st & 4th GWS got ahead of themselves But that'd be stupid!

@searlo54 @TheBackPocketAU Sorry but where has this “Carlton got ahead of themselves” come from? The fans maybe? That’s got nothing to do with the playing group.

@waynemcinerney1 Bottoms up Buttercup!

@Tigerz75 @GeorgeFlor41759 @lukepwd40 The board member who wanted to sack the coach got the ass as soon as he opened his mouth.

@GeorgeFlor41759 @lukepwd40 12 months ago they wanted to sack their coach as well but want to get on their high horse and give us a lecture about attendances.
