I have to compliment the club and Jarrod Wade as Head of High Performance as he "demonstrates the mantra", we want you (our members and supporters) to come on the ride / journey with us by taking you through the players respective injuries, their rehab progress, the steps they are taking to be...
With the draft being compromised in so many ways coupled with the fact that we have been prepared to trade away our first round picks, I wonder if Father Son and NGA prospects provide alternative strategies to secure talent that Craig Kelly has referred to when he hinted at being creative in out...
I was on the front row of the MCC - Level 3 and it was an amazing game.
When the siren sounded, I went to jump up in excitement and I could hardly stand as my legs were like jelly and I had to grab the rail. I am pleased to say, I backed it up with a seat at the GF and it was just a fantastic...
It is going to be warm so this will add to the fatigue of players on both sides impacting each teams high octane running. I think this will be a factor in the final team selections and the team that gets the right mix will put the other team to the sword.
Yes, you are right and the good thing about this flat track bully outome is...
The will make the bottom half of the eight and keep one or more of the following out of the eight, including:
Carlton
Swans
Saints
Suns
Rich
they may all miss out which would be a crying shame..;-)
The first game of the year is usually a full on test of the desire for the ball and execution under pressure. In my opinion, it is not for a first gamer unless they have blitzed all oncomers (eg: ND). For that reason, I think Frampton gets first go based on team balance and experience. Having...
I think they must be close to making a decision regarding our SSP selections.
By having all stop training, it would suggest they want to let them all know at the same time, ensure no injuries to anyone before we make our decisions and allow those not selected sufficient time to explore other...
Tay Adams has been a fantastic contributor to the Magpies.
It is none the less disappointing he wants to seek extra years in a contract context with another club Vs the prospect of playing a role (possibly a lessor role) with a premiership club and fight for that possibility of a shot at...
I love the different perspectives and views regarding the delima which is who to omit if and when ND is ready to resume...?
I think WHE, Markov, Noble, Ginni & Lippa are all under consideration. They all bring strengths when they are on and the qn is, who is the biggest liability when they do...
It was an interesting game where Carlton brought their A game and found a few gaps in the way we play.
The killer for me is the clangers when there is no pressure and it is all about skill level. Our repeated clangers resulted in turn overs which not only gifted Carlton new scoring...
I am of the understanding that it is only the premiership players (those that played on the actual day) would receive the medal. I seem to recall Murphy from the Doggies missed out after that late season injury.
Is there merit in the Board discussing with other clubs to retrospectively honour...
The CFC already has a scheme that provides support to former players.

This is one for the AFL to own and explain.
Given the AFL now own Marvel Stadium, they have it within their control to work out a commercial solution and compensate the impacted parties. I recall they urged games to be transferred from Telstra Dome (when they did not own it) to the MCG so they...
Your 7 points might be on the money and it is good to see they share the love at Blooos land with Charlie Curnow now taking centre stage with 3 points at Qtr time..;-)
Fat Jesus,
A quick summary at the end of each quarter and a wrap-up will be greatly appreciated. ...;-) Bonus points for a end of game comment for each of the AFL players will please the masses...;-)
We might need to re-name the "Toast" to
The New Carlton Thread: Carlton death-spirals continues and it is now trending toward 16th, Giving The Pies pick 21 in the process.......
;-)
It all comes back to the grading and whilst I am no expert, recent case history could be used as a reference point.
There has been little or no mention of this head high bump by Melbourne's J Harmes who was given 1 week for his hit on a Carlton player...
Interesting Article and possibly an insight into the new magpie machine....

I agree, if the intention is to provide flexibility whilst acknowledging the concussion issue and managing the "rorting", could an option be:
The player that is replaced under the concussion or injury rule automatically misses the next game or bye which ever applies.
This tries to limit or...
I wonder if he is either, looking to grow into a midfield role this year or has had the challenge placed before him to improve his fitness base if he wants those sorts of opportunities....?
Hi All, I am not a big poster and I have read a lot of comments regarding the situation.
Let me say, the act to attempt to reveal a ladies breast is a poor one.
If CFC said to Jordy, other players can go to Bali but you can not, the press would have a field day saying we do not trust one of...
Great Qn.. Our salary cap and miss-management may impact our ability to trade successfully, give current players confidence they are being fairly treated and a club of choice if they are weighing up options. Hopefully it is now a bit clearer..;-)
Hi All,
I read often so thank you for the many insightful posts (I am not a regular poster....)
If the article has any foundation regarding our future salary cap problems, then there is no way the current Board can make any claim of unity, when through their lack of governance, have caused...
