They should go better back in Melbourne and with a longer break than us. However, IMO, there is something in the suggestion that they are poorly coached, and it would also seem that their GOPs - including Mr Acres our former pseudo-GOAT - are a bit more O than those of most of the other top teams.

(And the two points are related: one of the key tasks of a coach is to give the GOPs a framework in which they can perform better.)

I'm confident so long as Sunday doesn't take too much out of us. Hopefully ground holds up under games/rain and we're not running on the spot.

Carlton bottom 6 are very ordinary. How much would they love a Stocker right now? And their bomb it long game style has become so predictable. We know how that goes. Wilkie, Battle and Howard will love it.
Also real lack of speed on the middle play right into our hands.

We come out Sunday unscathed and we should put them to the sword.
Voss' s presser should be ringing alarm bells. He's kidding himself if he thinks they were "in the game". At no stage were they in it.

I’d hold off bagging the Blues for another week

Early crow can make you look stupid

We have a big test this week, then the blues will present another challenge next week

Yeah I'm holding off on getting cocky too.

We are only one win away from our fringe supporter base carrying on worse than the fringe Blues supporters have this morning after their first loss.

Some of our supporters are carrying on like it's 2009.

Yep

And with Ross Lyon we can’t lose!

2009 was the last time we went 4-0

But we ended up 19-3 and I’ll guarantee we don’t end up that this season! I’d be happy with 12-10

In 2009 we had all time greats Roo, Dal, Hayes, BJ, Joey, Milne, Fisher in their prime! and a heap of excellent role players

If you combined the two sides on Steele, Marshall, Wilkie, Sinclair and maybe Crouch would get a look in in the 23!

Ross is a good coach - no doubt
And the assistant coaches are seemingly pretty good

But we are going to falter- inevitably- because of list quality

We're only one loss from being thrown out with the bathwater. I'm not one to throw stones.

How long before Caaaaaaaarlton turn on Voss like they have with numerous other coaches.

Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Keep it in perspective and not get ahead of ourselves because we’ve won 4 games!

There’s 19 to go!!!

Nah, that’s the coaching team’s job and they’re not mutually exclusive.

I’m enjoying the wins for now and watching the young guys like Owens, Phillipou and Caminiti.

Life’s too short.

Thanks!

PS. It was a rhetoric question.

LOL.

Thanks again.

100% Pav. In 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 weeks we could be eating our own again. Enjoy the unexpected, celebrate the wins (we'd be getting canned if it was zip - 4).

No one expected this start with our injury list & new coaching group. Too many years being meek, scared to dream, believing it's our destiny for it to fall over...F@ck that! Enjoy, get arrogant like every other club supporter has lauded over us. Worst case, we lose...boo hoo!

We are a very fit, hard-running side, with quite a few endurance athletes and we'd be quicker than the 2009 side ... which is the first thing that stood out for Lyon, and suits his very-demanding game style.

And we are not short on list quality ... we have recruited well the last couple of years.

Our young players Owens, Caminiti, Windhager and Philipou are fierce competitors and having an immediate impact, and Byrnes has continued to improve, etc....

Injuries are our biggest problem.

If we can get on top of the injuries, we'll do well this year.

A certain former AFL figure told one of the golf pros where I play (a fierce Carlton supporter) that the Blues had made a terrible, terrible blunder by turning their back on Roscoe. I won't name the certain former AFL figure, but it wouldn't be hard to guess.

Sheer embarrassment

Streak DVD from 2004

Hawks supporter mate still laughs about it!

We are carrying on like we’ve qualified for finals - with 19 to go!!!

Should I remind people of 2022??
