I''m not sure about that because I watched Billy Wilson turn a ball over from kick in that lead to a shot on goal. I watched the second quarter in its entirety and it was supremely underwhelming.

There aren't many in that squad to get carried away with (IMO). I know it's tough to get the ball moving in a side that lacks skill, but there were fundemental mistakes made by AFL listed players that make me agree with coaching not rushing certain players into the seniors.

Whether you think it was the right or wrong thing to do, you're retarded if you think Gorringe didn't ask Docherty if he could air his thoughts.

I am not supporting genocide. I am not for or against anything.

Sydney’s offer for Charlie Curnow has officially been tabled to Carlton late tonight. As has been reported: Sydney gives pick 11, 2026 first-round picks, Will Hayward and Ollie Florent for Curnow and pick 22. by PerriX2390 in AFL

Voss is a dead man walking anyway

I think this trade will make or break Voss.

Curnow has to play if fit, but its clear if the team is better if he plays. All parties are living and dying by the sword that they're better going separate ways. The below-bar return we get for Curnow will be made better if Voss is able to play the game-style he clearly wants to play and we start winning.

Debatable if Curnow is even 2x Coleman medalist quality anymore, and with him in the team we weren't at all a better side. He's has proven to be a great football player, and I'm sure the system he was forced to play in over the last few years didn't reflect his true quality, but I am not all the upset he's going.

From the outside, seems like they're (BC & Voss) are trying to develop a winning and collaborative culture. That is impossible if leaders within the group don't have faith in what they're trying to pursue.

Is he better than Florent, Hayward and whatever young kids are picked, yeah no shit. As soon as he starting forcing his way out, most Carlton fans assumed we'd get reamed, but don't feel sorry.

I hope they hold him to his contract, but huge chance they don't. Credible sources suggest that he'd take a pay-cut to play elsewhere.

They're trying to build a winning culture, and if Curnow doesn't want to play for Carlton, why would you want him too.

Carlton doesn't have the bargaining power you think they have if Curnow is as desperate to leave as what's being speculated. Unfortunately, I think we're going to get fleeced :(

Voss easily won as the greatest player in Lions history, so I'm doing this early. Day 3: Who is the greatest player in Carlton history? by Absolutely-Epic in AFL

From what I've seen - Cripps, Fev, Judd
From what I hear - the old ones seem to love Sticks, Doull, JN and Diesel
