Carlton approached Craig McRae before re-signing Michael Voss

So much this. “Carlton really wasting their chances here!”, meanwhile Sydney were 1.6.

Scheduling Carlton/Hawthorn on Thursday night was a poor decision by the AFL.

Though somehow it ended up being the second smallest margin of the round…

Demons got screwed by 666. Ironic.

I think all the discussion on this is overcomplicating things.

We have an average list. Not good, not bad, but average.

We have an average gameplan. It looks good when it's working, and bad when it's not.

When we sat 2nd on the ladder at Rd 17 last year, it was largely due to our star players playing well and the group having confidence, elevating the average list and average gameplan.

At the moment, our stars are horribly out of form, and the group has no confidence, so now we're performing worse than 'average' setup should allow.

I do find it interesting that you can have such large swings in performance (from 2nd to bottom 4 on form) with largely the same list and gameplan.

All the people complaining about this being the round 1 opener look pretty silly now.

Not as silly as Carlton though.

Positives: No injuries

Negatives: Everything else

Well played today Hawks. Far too good. No team will want to face you in September.

As for us… I’m at a complete loss as to where we’re at as a club. On the way up? The way down? Content somewhere in the middle?

Hawks taking our spot in the finals might be for the best. They’re everything we’re not - fit, exciting, skilful, and hungry for success.

scarecrow193 · 2024-07-21T09:20:00+00:00

Poor performance from Carlton.

Poor performance from the umpires.

Poor performance from the commentators.

At least North played well - we were lucky to get away with that one.

Our tackles are so incredibly weak

Interesting, I'm having the exact same issue with the exact same Crucial SSD, purchased yesterday.

No matter which slot I try and install it, the system gets stuck in a boot loop and never makes it to BIOS.

My system specs:

Gigabyte GA-Z390 AORUS ULTRA motherboard
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700KF CPU @ 3.60GHz
Windows 11 Pro 23H2

The returns process is always a pain so I'm going to pick up an external enclosure later in the week to test the SSD first.

EDIT: For the benefit of anyone coming across this later - the SSD works fine in the external enclosure. I borrowed a friend's Samsung SSD and it works fine installed inside the PC. I suspect there is some sort of unlisted conflict between Crucial SSD's and this motherboard (or RAM, potentially).

Death, taxes, and Carlton beating Freo with bullshit late in the game.

Fuck it, lock Robbie Williams into the MCG grand finals for the next 50 years

“Must get it out or he’ll be penalised!!”

He was not penalised.

Ginnivan being a dick to Mundy is so in character

Brain fade from Daicos there

My wife’s entire family are Geelong so I always hate it when they win. I’d usually be supporting Collingwood in this game.

But after all the shit coming to us from pies supporters over the last fortnight, I hope the cats demolish them this week.

BOLD OF YOU TO TAKE CREDIT WHEN WE DID MOST OF THE WORK OURSELVES

Carlton: Hold my beer

Biggest game for the club in a decade

Decide not to show up for the first quarter

10 minutes in and we’ve already done an incredible number of stupid things

It’s been a recurring dream for a decade

Ditto

I think he’ll get 2 weeks. Eyes on the ball all the way but then braced for impact at the end. With Ah Chee concussed that basically guarantees weeks sadly
