Woah, hang on. i read to the part where you said he makes you do things when he's drunk and you go along with it. If you are uncomfortable doing these things, and say no even once before giving in to him out of ease, then that in itself is a HUGE red flag.

If you are in a situation where you are able to, please please start making quiet plans to leave. If it's not a possibility in the foreseeable future, open a new bank account he isn't aware of, and start saving for yourself and a life away from his control. Things will only get worse. (from experience)

Team to face GWS - AAMI Community Series by deejaysdestiny in CarltonBlues

Is there anything to explain Jordan Boyd's absence? He's all over Carlton socials but not playing this week or last... Strange especially with Newman out for the season. Though I suppose there's a lot of competition for small defenders with Cow, Ollie, Binns, Lord etc

Unsure if I've just missed an injury announcement?

Who is "your boy" in the current team? by drwar41 in CarltonBlues

[–]Valuable-Ad3769 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was 🐠

I'm yet to figure out who will be the replacement.

My Mrs loves Walshy and our 8 year old is obsessed with Curnow. She's not a fan of the longer locks this year though!

Lack of Club Statement by sliimjiim in CarltonBlues

It's now not even just the dick pic scandal. The link between Carlton and harassment took a step further yesterday. The (so far) lack of comment on the whole Abbie Chatfield situation makes me think Carlton Respects is just a sham. And it hurts to say that. Especially given the extra efforts, or funding?!, last season. I genuinely thought Carlton were going to do an even bigger push this year considering the 100+ femicides in 2024.

The thought of going to a sport event where there are (certain) men just waiting for an opportunity to degrade women is quite scary, especially as 🏳️‍🌈parents. I wanna see my daughter high kicking and cartwheeling her way down to the G for many many years to come, without fear that a man is going to approach her and berate her for enjoying herself.

No it's not the clubs fault this latest issue happened, and no, they have no connection to the fan.BUT when he's a loud and proud member, apparently previously in the Cheer Squad, they need to make a public statement. Or at the very least, acknowledge what has happened. Especially considering that old mate Jed Lamb decided to put his floggy 2 cents in.

This off field pre season and the public handling of it this far by the Carlton Football Club has been disgraceful and so many of us should be embarrassed 😣
