Round 4: the other games.

[imuninformedtwo]

And yet I have every confidence that they won't be playing finals. Unless sneaking into Wildcard Round in 9th or 10th place, is now considered to be playing finals?

They had to rise eventually. But Carlton, seriously, thanks for the laughs.

As an aside, that young half back playing for Norf has a bit of a future ahead of him down back too …

Yes, and perhaps Voss should take note, that if he sees a group of Carlton fans approaching and carrying a large cross; they're probably not celebrating Good Friday.

The kerosine and matches might give away what’s up. I’ll give it an hour till they get to the point of fighting each other, but the Carlton big footy forum is going to be a special and hilarious read.

[Thunder Shaker]

Oh, Carlton, Carlton, Carlton. Not again. Another week, another lead surrendered. The only reason why Carlton have managed to win even one game this season is Lynch's inability to kick last-quarter goals in round one. Do they have any game plan at all for holding on to leads?

I would be surprised if Voss lasts another 14 days.

Carlton 22 pts up at 3/4 time. Can they hang on?

No and I can't stop laughing.

But yet again, I feel for Will and Ollie....from that angle, it's a little sad.

Have read a selection of comments on the Carlton Big Footy page. This contribution from a Blues fan made me laugh out loud.

"Were Hayward and Florent this bad at Sydney or have we Carltonised them in 4 games?"

They certainly timed their contracts properly, during our run during early 2024. Fun fact (and I know there’s a lot of other parts to these things), with the swap of Charlie for those two, we cleared $450k in cap space, which we then used on Serong.

Funny stuff. To be fair to that poor Blues fan, while I said earlier I feel for Will and Ollie, Hayward on his day definitely was a worthy Swan but far too often, he was a 'Carlton'.

Today, 4 kicks, 2 handballs and no goals.

[imuninformedtwo]

I mean, to be fair, I guess a club where the president posts his dick picks online was always going to struggle a bit.

[Thunder Shaker]

Carlton is in for a torrid time in the next six weeks: Adelaide, Collingwood, Fremantle, St Kilda, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs. Plenty of opportunities to cough up leads there, or not get in front at all. They have somewhat easier opponents after that (including a bye where they are unlikely to lose) but the chances of Voss's still coaching Carlton after that run of six games is very low.

Sounds like Will Hayward. One good game then 3 crappy games.

[Thunder Shaker]

Adelaide lost to Fremantle by 2 points, in a game where they had chances to win the game late.

Adelaide's games this year have all been close: a 14-point win over Collingwood, followed by an 8-point loss to Geelong, a 6-point loss to the Bulldogs, and losing by 2 points to Fremantle. Those were all difficult opponents. Next week they play Carlton. Let me guess: Adelaide will trail at half time, then win by 6 goals or more?

The vultures have started circling.

Voss 'absolutely' safe as Blues coach for Gather Round
Blues AFL coach Michael Voss unfazed about speculation over his future after Kangaroos loss

When a coach is "absolutely safe" or has the "confidence" of the board, that's trouble.

"We're absolutely right behind him". Unfortunately with knives in their hands.

Jason Horne-Francis; looks like a footballer, can take a courageous mark, can evade an opponent with elan. Unfortunately can’t hit a target. I can’t remember him actually hitting a teammate in this match. Unless it was accidentally with his shoulder.
