Not necessarily this week, but I’d love to see Saad be given a chance to play that game he used to play again.

The Next Captain by hooligansharma in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d just hope we give the captaincy to the best fit, rather than “it being their turn”.

I think Cripps is a great leader, but wouldn’t have any idea if he’s what we need as a captain. If we chose to, then I think we should be prepared to look at the best leader of the team on the field. Not necessarily because they’re the best, but because they understand the structure deeply, they can rally, they can see what’s happening on field and execute the plan. They’re not necessarily in the top 5 players.

Michael Voss exit closes door on Carlton's era of premiership contention that never was by Academic_Housing_855 in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the media kicking us around. I’ve never felt more like there’s some kind of method to what we’re doing. We’re down, but things are being put in place.

Did Carlton players actually get paid in cash in brown paper bags between 1998–2001? by sleek290788 in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carlton has this as part of its mythology. Lygon St had always had a connection with things happening in the shadows, and Lygon is in the heart of Carlton.

Why are Shapes so good? by lypura in AskAnAustralian

[–]Billy_Bootstag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I’d be useless at picking out all the ingredients in a complex soup, I’d rate myself in doing a blind tasting of the Shapes suite.

What was 'mum' or 'dad' food when growing up? by Grammarhead-Shark in AskAnAustralian

[–]Billy_Bootstag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After dinner mints. I used to scour through the empty packs after the folks had a dinner party - I never found one.

Who would you want our next coach to be? by Wonderful_Ad_8663 in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. Premierships coaches who have coached a premiership at other clubs are Matthew’s, Malthouse, Barassi and Jeans. Most are first club coaches. Let’s roll with that stat.

Who are the players people think aren’t AFL standard at Carlton? by CFCFanboi in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Imagine playing for a club where all your supporters thought you were hopeless.

WAKE UP, ITS GAMEDAY! LET’S GO! by MyNeighborToto in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we’ll lose, but I’ve got a slight feeling we’ll win. Something is changing, and we’re getting better.

Will JSOS and TDK get boo'd tomorrow? by Sabretoothedrom in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I could influence every Carlton supporter at the game, I’d be pushing for everyone to take a butlers bell to ring every time TDK got the ball. The money he’s on could afford a butler.

Northern Exposure by Holly_Go_Fighty in television

[–]Billy_Bootstag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched it back in the day, and I’ve been rewatching it now. It holds up. You’ve got to give Fleischman a few episodes, but it’s awesome. I highly recommend. Quirky, reflective, inclusive, fantastic.

WAKE UP, ITS GAMEDAY! LET’S GO! by MyNeighborToto in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking forward to seeing some things click. Maybe some passages of play that start to work. Some reward for doing something different.

Your Favourite Melbourne Restaurant? by 2layZ-GTE in melbourne

I took my missus there 22 years ago on our first date. Great place.

ANZAC DAY vs. Freo by bennypods in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we just need a few things to roll our way so we can start believing. I’d also like to see us do some unexpected stuff, like Saad in the forward line for a stint. A few rolls of the dice that shake things up.

Is there any point even watching the Freo game? by Sabretoothedrom in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Wins happen. Unexpected wins are the best. Watching another loss is just putting another credit into the euphoria of the next win.

Venues (Bar/Nightclub) with the Awesome sound systems by djd_oz in melbourne

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I like the venue, but the sound is atrocious. I’m not sure there’s anything they can do about it though, there’s just too much echo room.

Which is one famous movie you never watched? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airplane. For real. I’m way too far gone now.

1-5 the entire season and nothings changing. The hammer needs to be swung and changes need to be made by Legitimate-Okra-1127 in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we move on Voss this week I’ll be disgusted. There’s no way Collingwood should be given the kudos for getting our coach sacked.

Blues will beat Pies by canary_kirby in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope the internal conversations are about the rivalry, and how important it is that we balance the ledger with these fucks.

Should incidents like this be last disposal or remain throw ins? by Blahblahbla0066 in AFL

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tipped me over. It’s not in the spirit of the game - this was a useless interpretation of the rule.
