What a disaster. Our worst ever loss. There will be consequences.
This was one of the few times I was glad not to be there: I was ill.

Thank God there are only a few games to go. This was not easy to watch in any form.

back to earth, Excrement still taste bad when the sugar coating wears off. Its amazing these people actually get paid

Did the AFL announce they are going after the 3rd man up or just pulled it outta nowhere?

No game this week. It means we can't lose!  > >

Hi everyone,

I hope I've chosen the most appropriate forum for this topic.

My name is Angel Fernandez and I just wanted all Carlton supporters (who might also be Sturt supporters) to know of a book I've just released about the Sturt Football Club called THE OLD DOUBLE BLUES - Celebrating the men of Sturt.

The book is a hardcover, large format, near-700-page coffee table-style book (see attached photo) which individually profiles over 100 of the greatest names and identities from Sturt’s famous football history. Over the course of six years (I began writing the book in 2009) I interviewed 120 individuals and compiled arguably the greatest single collection of oral histories from the players, coaches and administrators who, collectively, have made the Double Blues one of the most loved and revered football teams in Australia.

Of particular interest to Carlton supporters (that's why I'm posting here) are the chapters on Peter Motley, Robbert Klomp, Barnaby French, Ben Nelson, present CEO Steven Trigg and a FANTASTIC chapter titled "Hawks, Blues & Mots" by David Parkin.

I'm not sure how many Bluebaggers out there might be Sturt supporters but even if you're not, if you're just a football tragic, then this book is for you. The book is full of stories, memories, anecdotes and recollections from Sturt's greatest champions, all presented in their own captivating words.

Presently, a gentleman named Santo Caruso at Melbourne Sports Books (51 Brunswick Road, Brunswick East, Tel: 0396621085) is kindly acting as my Melbourne distributor for anyone who might be interested in snaring a copy (check the attached link). The book is $65.00.  http://melbourne-sports-books.myshopify....n-of-sturt

If anyone is interested in some more particulars about the book please feel free to PM me.

Thanks for reading everyone and I hope the mighty Bluebaggers can reign for you all soon again.

GO THE BLUES!

Having seen some of Hawthorn's display on TV last night, next Friday night's game is not looking good.
[1] Hawthorn appear to have hit form and are playing very well.
[2] Hawthorn appear to hit (or knee) players and get away with it. We get suspended if we put any physical pressure on.
[3] We will not be able to get anything like our best 22 on the park. Even if we get a few guys back, we seem to lose somebody irreplaceable each week.
[4] The honeymoon appears over for Johnny Barker. We have returned to some fairly negative football and have a lot of players playing without a lot of passion. The run and willingness to take risks just hasn't been there.
[5] We haven't beaten Hawthorn for so long that many supporters have never seen it happen. I would LOVE to see us reverse this trend, as we have been getting closer and closer in recent times. However, we just don't have the cattle at this point of time.

I can't find the thread where his accident was posted but sadly Jules Bianchi has passed away.

Lost another one. I don't like the score, but I have no idea what happened.

We'll lock the game thread up shortly.
Let's concentrate on discussion of the game in this one

Not a bad effort for three quarters....but washed away in the last
Quite a few passengers tonight.
