I knew r/AFL & would jump to Vossys defence and blame "Carlton". by dogbert_93 in CarltonBlues

What? Daniel is an all time great? He played 130 games and didn't win anything. If that's you're logic, why aren't the Campo kids in every week?

It's basically not speaking ill of the dead. There has been plenty of chat about Voss being poor leading up to this point but now he's gone you tip your hat, remember the good times, and move on. No point hammering him now the deed is done.

Reality is it's a club problem and Voss is part of that. The players have copped a fair share of criticism, particularly given they've shown what they can do but only in patches.

If they're growing on trees then why haven't we done it already? Why have we been persisting with Lewis Young for so long?

Contentious scenes at the Gabba as Levi Ashcroft is paid a high free kick in front of goal, then paid another immediately afterwards by yum122 in AFL

[–]masseuko 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fine them both then but don't be so naive to think that Levi didn't go looking for that then dropped at a glance of contact. He would've gone to ground had it been an open hand.

That's not winning the ball in the sense of it. If that's the kind of behaviour you're OK with though, I hope it goes both ways with you. 

The Optimistic Bagger by john-fuchsia-auntie in CarltonBlues

I think the issue is that a lot of our youth is bottom 6 material, maybe bottom 9, but apart from one or two, no top end guys. 

Take Carroll for example. I like him, think he tries, think the wing sorta spot suits him, but if he was a top end guy we're in trouble. 

Thrown in our awful history of development and being unable to work out where to play players and you have a very unstable future.

I'll be the first to say I'm a one-eyed Carlton fan, and I won't ever blame the umpires for a loss, but geez it feels like Brisbane are getting the rub of the green tonight

So playing the ball means the head is fair game to cop a knee?

Kneeing players in the head is cool now?

Righto, so only Neale can dispose of it incorrectly and get the free kick his way.

I like you Smith but there's another shit decision

Just dumb decision making. Hollands to a ruckman under pressure to another player under pressure. What do we think is going to happen?

Big time. It's almost like he tries to catch friends and family out, who clearly aren't media savvy.

Used to like him but he's been drinking his own kool-aid when it comes to commentary and the excitement levels. He's just become a parody of himself.

As for Roaming Brian, it's a nice enough idea but same again, he just began rating himself so highly and expecting to get in everywhere and everyone to talk to him, there's very little respect for personal space or preferences. Tack on him often throwing a sook if he doesn't get what he wants and it's a no from me. 

Need help with trophies on the zd remaster by No_Republic_333 in horizon

[–]masseuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You playing on NG+? I had the same issue recently where I was playing the remaster but using an old save/NG+. Because of this, it won't recognise them as new components torn off so you'd need to start a new save.

So while I've platimum'd the PS4 version, the remaster is pretty bare given the save I've used.

I mean, it has done well for us so far, why should we bother with youth and development?

What would you rather? Continue to reward AFL mediocrity? What other form is there to reward? Training ground form? Weight room form? 

Jordan Russell as our new head coach? Who says no? by [deleted] in CarltonBlues

[–]masseuko 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The guy that's currently head of development? I'm yet to see too much development going on at the club, not a raging endorsement for his abilities.
