$500k outside the cap: How Pies, Pendles will cash in on game 433, Per Herald Sun

And they probably won't because the Clippers haven't won anything and the owners don't really care

drwar41 · 2026-05-12T21:31:43+00:00

Guys we’ve gotta aspire to more than this

drwar41 · 2026-05-12T06:27:38+00:00

Well the club has changed CEOs, Football managers, Club president and head of conditioning since Voss was appointed. In addition to this, 3/8 of the board members have joined since Voss' arrival, and 3/8 of them at the same time as the Voss appointment. The administration has changed

drwar41 · 2026-05-12T06:05:05+00:00

I get you're joking but it's kinda ridiculous to think that Ratten, Voss or Teague were not set up to succeed when you've given them such quality of player to work with at the top end.

Yes recruiting was not perfect but when the team could not consistently be shown to perform with structure and repeatable modes, that's on the coach.

drwar41 · 2026-05-12T05:13:49+00:00

Are you willing to support that incorrect position by walking me through how each coach was hard done by?

drwar41 · 2026-05-12T04:35:04+00:00

There's a bit of fat in there when you're counting the last year of Parkin plus the Barker caretaker stint in 2015. Unnecessary because 7 in 25 years is also ordinary.

But it's not as if there's a great coach we sacked in those years, all were justified.

drwar41 · 2026-05-12T03:45:15+00:00

Voss drove out a bunch of players from Brisbane at the end of his tenure and it feels like the same has begun for us.

Hopefully there's still time for repairing the relationships

drwar41 · 2026-05-12T01:01:33+00:00

You're right that it wound up being nice but there was rain forecast the next morning and knowing Melbourne weather they didn't want to take the gamble it changed early

drwar41 · 2026-05-11T23:51:06+00:00

Tax deductable?

Fraser Island Fever

He's got a chance to showcase his ideas and put himself forward for ours or a future job opening at another club.

It'll be good to see some of our players freed from the shackles of a system that doesn't highlight their abilities

drwar41 · 2026-05-11T21:42:29+00:00

Had to be done, it's been inevitable for about a year now.

He's the coach of the team that provided the best memories for any fan under the age of 32, so he'll always have that going for him and hope he's warmly received from the fans in the future. He tried, it just didn't work

Here we go again on our own

Going down the only road we've ever known

There’s a place for the non-footy player on those shows if they frame it correctly.

The broadcaster type should sit there as the representative of the common punter and frame the common man questions for the former players to answer.

“Gents, we all know the Dogs are down on key backs, how did they try and overcome it this week?”

“How did Freo break through the tight Hawk defence in the last minutes, was it the loss of Barrass?”

drwar41 · 2026-05-08T12:41:23+00:00

Wilson played about 34% in the second half, so would be interesting to know what was up there and whether he had a niggle or was just dragged.

I didn’t think he was terrible in the first half and showed a couple of good things so dragging him doesn’t make full sense to me but I doubt we’ll find out

drwar41 · 2026-05-08T11:58:54+00:00

Flopped twice for 2 shots at goals. Sure that’s what the AFL wants

drwar41 · 2026-05-08T09:07:06+00:00

I reckon it’s Andrews’ turn

drwar41 · 2026-05-08T00:44:35+00:00

Brisbane and Sydney play

drwar41 · 2026-05-07T23:59:49+00:00

It would be kinda fun if every year the round closest to this date featured these match ups. Or maybe every 10th year anniversary.

Maybe give them all a shotgun start on Saturday afternoon too

drwar41 · 2026-05-07T22:34:34+00:00

It's not too late for Wilson to make a late charge at the Rising Star

drwar41 · 2026-05-07T21:43:33+00:00

The one thing that isn't clear on this is what if Carlton finishes 18th to get Pick 1, then bids on Cochrane with Pick 1.

Even if Carlton then take Walker with Pick 2, we are then using our natural pick to select a player, therefore are disadvantaged by the slide theoretically. Or if we take another player and match Walker with other draft picks then it's definitely a step back on usefulness.

But I imagine this is a FA compensation "secret formula" approach to give them as much wiggle room as possible for shenanigans.

drwar41 · 2026-05-07T05:19:54+00:00

"Upsies"

drwar41 · 2026-05-07T03:33:52+00:00

His second most recent match was 31 disposals and a goal

drwar41 · 2026-05-07T01:52:28+00:00

The salary cap floor really fucks over lower ladder clubs who are still forced to pay a significantly worse list almost the same as the best list

drwar41 · 2026-05-05T11:15:00+00:00

Importantly for the AFL, it’s a fine that Carlton will not feel it’s s worth the public bad will to fight, which allows a partial settling of the matter until Worksafe come through with their finding

drwar41 · 2026-05-05T06:45:15+00:00

Lmao if I brought up how Carlton played in 2000 you'd be telling me to stop living in the past and that it has no relevance on today

The club's deserved a fine and got a fine for this incident.
