Malter White Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 If people want to boo, big deal. The players need to display some resilience and ignore it. As for those that do the booing, how childish does it make them look? Storm in a teacup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I suppose it depends on the reason for it. The pantomime booing has been around forever, or like what Tom Stewart copped on Friday night, understandable. But just doing it for the sake of it isn't something I've noticed happening at all until this season and apart from being childishly stupid, it's bloody annoying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it when someone's done something grubby and the usual lining up for goal, or the moved clubs theatrics, but all these muppets booing players for no real reason every time they go near the ball and then coming up with the lame excuse of trying to put the player off is absolute BS. In all my time watching footy I've never heard random booing like that other than the reasons above, until this year. The idiots from other clubs who had nothing to do with the Horne Francis situation are even worse. Just shut up with it already I have to agree with you on this that it should be kept to a player taking a shot at goal etc. @Stickers also I didn't touch on that properly last night either because I went on a rant about buddy lol. It is annoying for me also that it's becoming more constant. It was always for a shot at goal or letting the umpire know not happy with decision. The umpires do a great job regardless of what we see. It's human nature to feel hard done by when something goes against what we expect. My point I tried to make that probably came across wrong was that it's becoming so frequent now. If you started telling people they could not do it they would not turn up and spend the money. The problem is how to outline when it is and is not ok. The afl board and all the past great players and commentators that have input and influence would be no different than state or federal government. All different opinions and would probably just end up getting drunk and in a fight themselves and get no where lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozdevil Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 There is Huge rumours Hardwick is on his way to the Blues voss to be sacked by weeks end To be honest i really thought Voss would be the 1st coach to drop after the blues poor play over the past few weeks and i believe its the playing group that needs to take some accountability at the blues If the rumours are right, i believe Hardwick will take over at seasons end and an interim coach will happen at the blues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The Blues need to stick with a coach for more than five minutes and maybe they'll see some progress. If they keep sacking coaches every year they're gonna stay in a perpetual cycle of mediocrity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickers Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 carlton need to and will back voss in, his situation reminds me a lot of bomber thompson the year before the cats broke their droughtbreaker. hardwick is cooked, done like a dinner, checked out for long long time. his press conferences this year have been really frank about how he feels about the media so i don't think he'll go for an opinion job anytime soon either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Afl has been getting ridiculous with this whole coach thing in recent years. There are 18 teams and more on the way. They can't all be at the top of the ladder. The biggest problem is the media reflecting the opinions of morons on Facebook etc. Teams go up and down its pretty much set up that way with drafts and trading etc. Plus teams at the top for too long become to predictable for other teams. Or just lose the go because it's too easy to win then they go the other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of respect for the club. When Port entered the AFL we were on the end of a lot of Carlton spankings. But these days, they really have some problems. Just cant keep a rebuild moving forward. It must be frustrating for the likes of you and other members. I dont think its just the coach. Do you think Dimma can turn it around? Hes a tough bastid.

ozdevil Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 War of words post match on Friday night between Craig Mathison (nephew to the pokie king Bruce Mathison) and the Carlton Prersident Luke Sayers has seen the 1st knock out blow in the club with Craig Mathison resigning his position on the board of Directors futher to this it is certainly heating up at ikon Park the Carlton will sevre ties with the Pokies Giant Bruce Mathison meaning giving up on 4 Pokies venues which bring in several millions for the club. In my own opinion these talks should have been happening weeks ago(not to say they hadnt been ) Bruce Mathison always thought his money talked in carlton and carlton owed him the right to say who was in the side each week and by carlton cutting Ties from both Mathisons this means the club can become united again. I recieved the a email this Morning from Luke Sayers that Craig Mathison has resigned and the bard has acpted the resignation I think this is the start of some hard times for the blues as alot of things are needed to be sorted out inhouse and out on the field its footy but sometimes the politics of the board need to stay out of the footy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
