They only kicked into the wind once and had 3 scoring shots. Enough said.

This could explain a bit...
Further, Pudding Face Twin " The Elder" is in the media again bleating despite their huge home ground advantage delivering another win!
Keep in mind, along with CheatsFC and the Dawks this Handbagger mob lead the charge to end games at the "obsolete suburban grounds" like Princes Park. Now they've spent more than $170M of public money developing their ground that can't fit in any opposition fans, and want to play the GF there! Both the Cheats and Dawks are touting plans to further develop their own boutique facilities to host matches against interstate teams! The Dawks even have the state government running an underground train loop right past their stadiums front door!
Who was the forkwit at our club that worried about the profitability from spending $45M two decades ago to update our home with underground parking? What an ultramoron, they basically condemned us to long term obsolesence!
FFS Carlton, grow some balls and call a spade a spade!

Good point that - the commentators said several times it was a 5 goal wind, whichever way it blew!

Somewhat ironically, the only upgrades to our home turf is to turn it into the home of womens football. No balls allowed!

Kruddler, since the TPP penalties we keep being nice citizens in AFL circles, and then pricks like Dangerfield or the Pudding Face Twins frequently stab us in the back after we support their causes!
Have a look at Nthmond and McGuire, both publicly opposed the Carlton / Princes Park redevelopment plan, claiming that such a venue didn't fit within the AFL's wider plans to benefit all clubs. Then within a month both launched their own boutique stadium proposals!
For years Carlton pushed for Good Friday football as part of the wider plan to raise funds for the RCH, built on the battle of the neighbours Carlton and Norp that flank the RCH. So what happens, Sheedy butts in claiming CheatsFC deserve the gig, and the AFL schedule the game against Norp!
In some ways our silence makes us the leagues buffoons. I appreciate bleating about it is not the solution, however that shouldn't be an excuse for inaction!

Look, some of what you say is right, some is best said by someone wearing a tin-foil hat.
There is a difference between causation and correlation.
In regards to developing PP. I would give that another go now. With the parkville train station now getting built, it solves one of the biggest issues our ground ever had, getting there. Now the train will be in close proximity to the ground, easier enough to walk too, but if required, the tram can take you the last 2km to the front door.
The area around is a big enough area to accomodate any growth required.
Personally if i was to develop the area, i'd start from scratch and build a brand new stadium right next door to where we are now, and keep Ikon Park as a training ground/ AFLW / VFL ground. Similar to the Tigers and Punt road oval.
I'd make it ultra modern and future proof, put a roof on it if you need to and make a Marvel Stadium type clone.....but do it right from the beginning. Host concerts etc there and make money of it that way.
We just need the backing of a forward thinking billionaire....

That plus the way that Kreuzer doesn't jump in the centre circle ruck contests. From the very first contest, the opposition ruckmen jumped over MK and cleared the ball for easy centre clearances.

We play Kreuzer injured because away from the centre square he's worth 2 or 3 of Casboult, Phillips or Lobbe!
What we missed yesterday was Jones, our KPP game plan fell over because we couldn't cover the run of the Handbagger talls. Even so Weitering was probably the best tall on the ground.
I heard some caller spud on radio last night claim Hawkins was among the Handbagger's best, it must have been a Pudding Face Twin or a Dangerfield in disguise! ;D

I used to go to training back in 1982 had a friend working for Carlton then. Told me in advance games we were going to lose in the 2nd half of that year. He was spot on. We lost in a similar way most times. 3 times in the 2nd half of that season!
