Preview 2025 Rd 5 Carlton vs West Coast Saturday 12th April 1.20PM AEST @ Adelaide Oval

[Aphrodite]

Team is in …


4 changes!

 

[Arr0w]

Not enough penetration on his kicking for a wingman, not a great aerialist and doesn't have the skills of other wingman. I think its Walsh and Acres.

I did say if

I'd feel more comfortable if he was on a wing rather than HB

Why shouldn't they be outraged? The club is happy to take their money.

No one is forcing anyone to pay anything to the club. Being a member doesn't give you some sort special voice or influence at the club

Why shouldn't they be outraged? The club is happy to take their money.

And we're happy giving it

Pretty sure your membership doesn’t come with a warranty.

How does that even make sense?

[Benaly28]

How is this game more important regarding selection integrity vs the ef where he brought a clearly underdone Doc and TDK in?

I’d imagine he is referring to getting some pace in the side and omitting our talls in the backline which give us no drive whatsoever.

I’d also go as far as to say losing this game might be the nail in the coffin.

Did I say they were? If Carlton want to post on social media which is a public forum then they open themselves up to good and bad replies. Every member has a say in the club. Not 1 person owns the footy club. Without members there would be no club. Without members and supporters there would be no AFL. Of course they have a right to voice their opinion just as you do on here. Should I tell you to keep quiet if I don;t like your opinion?

Blues need to win well and get that taste back. Can Voss stay upstairs in the box .?

We as members have every right to question or voice opinions about our club that we pour money into however don’t have any right in crossing moral lines or attacking individuals behind keyboards.

Bucky and Prendercast boys are the only ones I care for these days. The others have become a bunch of self grandiose pine cones desperately trying to convince the masses that they know everything there is about footy and winning culture and that the Carlton footy club only care for selling merch.

The worst thing is the nonsense that comes up weekly about why we should fire everyone on the spot after a bad game because their favourite EPL teams do it all the time

Whilst I agree with the general sentiment of your post, Bucky and Prendercast? These two are the most toxic of the lot and have posted some absolute tripe throughout the years

 

[dumb]

durdin, 14 disposals and a goal in half a game last year v west coast. through the middle if i'm not mistaken.

springboard him into the rest of the season

When did I say anyone didn't have the right to voice their opinion? I've already said its social media - negative posts get more attention then positive ones.

That is every social media post about everything People love drama it has been this way for a long time unfortunately. This will never change.

I unfortunately agree. I've been on these platforms for a while. I think it's become far more toxic this year within the fanbase. I get everyone's frustrated but it's not helping anyone. Some of the stuff I saw on the McKay announcement post was just so poor

Some don’t understand what membership loss / attendance actually does to a club and keep raising the same dribble.
We’ve been there on handouts, yet they still don’t get it. Amazing.

Yep good or bad with social media everyone has a voice. The good thing is I don't need to worry about everyones posts. I have just accepted you always going to read or see things you don't like .

I may not agree with your opinion but I will always defend your right to have it

“Why shouldn't they be outraged? The club is happy to take their money”.

It’s pretty clear, but let me explain it for you…

Your membership doesn’t guarantee you anything, it’s simply a show of our support.

Your comment makes out as though you’ve purchased an outcome with your membership.

The support of our club isn’t conditional - unless you’re a bit weak in the spine of course.

David King mentioned on first crack i think that this game coming up is probably Voss’ most important in regards to selection integrity.

It feels like if we win it’s expected but if we lose all hell will break loose

IMO if we don’t win next two it’s year over

 

[bmaurizio]

Blues need to win well and get that taste back. Can Voss stay upstairs in the box .?

If we can’t manage a comfortable win against the Eagles given the state of the teams and after the huge shock of the loss to the Tigers , our season is over.
Vossy may as well begin to pack his bags.
Keep the fingers crossed no further long term injuries.

You’d think so. 0-6 means we’d need to win an absolute minimum of 13 out of a remaining 17 games to possibly sneak into the eight. Next two are almost non negotiables as far as this season goes.

 

[Smegger]

We’re not a washing machine

Although, second halves have been a whirlpool (preferred the reliable Simpson).

Surely, team can't stay on rinse & repeat.

Also, MC seems to run on fuzzy logic.

That’s the way it works in here right…

Why is it OK to behave that way?

Because the clubs owes us something, we pay our membership!

They owes us plenty..

 

[blueblooded]

I agree but what chance do we have of Voss dropping him?

Voss must absolutely drop McGovern this week if he has any integrity whatsoever.

McGovern has been PUTRID all year. Turnovers costing tonnes of points against, losing one on ones repeatedly dropping easy marks I could go on. Horrendous. I don’t want to see him in the seniors for quite some time.

Play SOS and weiters as the tall backs bring in Carrol, bring in anyone. Get McGovern out of the side. Waste of space
