Season 2019 - Fark Carlton

Alan_Noonan_10 · February 21, 2019, 6:50am

To be fair, some of their best players aren’t available - Jacobs, Gibbs, Betts, Tuohy, Henderson, Robinson

Finding_Nino · February 21, 2019, 6:54am

Not sure if you are taking the ■■■■? surely they can show more effort than that.

Henry_s_Angry_Pills · February 21, 2019, 7:01am

Vroooooommmm

Finding_Nino · February 21, 2019, 7:02am

Figured as much just making sure

Henry_s_Angry_Pills · February 21, 2019, 7:11am

If you say so.

aboods · February 21, 2019, 8:02am

where are you seeing these scores?

rossoneri · February 21, 2019, 8:06am

Geez nino, I like you but that was massively dumb.

Not that it matters but do you need special permission to organise a practice match outside the 2 JLT games?

And I find it strange that players can pull out of the AFLX to play a practice match and the AFL not say anything

Don’t feel sorry for Murphy - he was eligible to be f/s selection for the Lions. They were keen, he declined…

sj_2150 · February 21, 2019, 8:21am

is also a genuine A-Grade A55hole too

Final score was:

Hawthorn 12.5.77
Carlton 8.5. 53

Signing any player, no matter their pick, no matter their potential on a long term deal before they’ve played a game is the ultimate sign of a lack of confidence to retain young talent. Smacks of utter insecurtiy

cul_de_sac · February 21, 2019, 8:46am

Who wouldn’t want to sign up some of the best young talent to longer deals? Plenty of clubs have done this with the draftees they rate highly, including Essendon

alex.f.94 · February 21, 2019, 9:32am

Before they ever played a game? Fraught with danger

Henry_s_Angry_Pills · February 21, 2019, 9:37am

Hyperbole.

Year 3 and 4 are almost automatic.
Things would have to be catastrophically bad - Jack Watts x 5 - before you’d chop a pick 1 in the first 5 years of their careers.

cul_de_sac · February 21, 2019, 9:40am

I don’t want to defend Carlton, but if you’re worth pick one, you’re worth a club committing to you for more than two years

alex.f.94 · February 21, 2019, 9:41am

Boyd, McCartin, Scully, Weitering. I reckon all their original teams are pretty happy they weren’t signed on long term deals. Or at least long term deals that they were willing to uphold.

cul_de_sac · February 21, 2019, 9:45am

All those players have played beyond their initial two year contract and two of them were enticed away by other clubs with huge contracts.

You’re not really supporting your own argument here

Henry_s_Angry_Pills · February 21, 2019, 9:45am

All been delisted?

alex.f.94 · February 21, 2019, 9:47am

Boyd is garbage, McCartin is garbage, Scully was garbage for a long period of time, Weitering is pretty much garbage.

If any of them were drafted to Essendon and signed on long term deals I’d be pretty bummed about it.

Could easily put Patton into that list too.

cul_de_sac · February 21, 2019, 9:52am

Yeah but being bummed about something is your default position
