Wonder how many of our crew got injured last night.

We are Carlton.....

Yep, and I loved Petracca getting screwed off with Gils mispronunciation of his name. Having an Italian background, I love when young people of Euro heritage take the time to correct poor pronunciation of names, it shows attention to detail and that they care about their heritage. Not like peanuts such as Montagna (phonetically Mon-tun-ya) and Rochele (Ro-ke-le) from Adelaide who open tell people to pronounce their name the wrong way. Ricciardo (Rich-ardo) is another imbecile. Its not that hard fellas, have some pride.

Do you get regional differences in pronunciation?

British names can be pronounced differently based on location, status and/or preference.  For example, one of my ancestral names is St John (pronounced Saint John) but some Brits pronounce it Sinjin.  Then there's McKay (MacKay or Mackeye), Strachan (Strack-an or Strawn and Mainwaring (as it's spelt or Mannering).

I have been quite happy with Gil's attempts to pronounce names.  He is a lot better than those who came before but you'd think he would have practised Petracca.

I actually thought it was extremely poor he didn’t get Petracca right and the way he was saying it was really bogan Aussie tbh (Euro heritage here too).

Petracca is hardly someone that we’ve not heard of before, really crap of Gil.

Also Someone mentioned social media has a littering of derogatory comments about our boy and it’s been difficult not engaging but end of the day I personally thought he should never have been reported to begin with.

Cripps is not a dirty player and for all the scraping and scragging and tagging he gets, he’d be forgiven for occasionally being fed up and throwing an arm back. But he hasn’t and doesn’t.

He is an exemplary footballer and person. Thoroughly deserved.

Had a bunch of friends msg last night that do not barrack for Carlton, all with only pure admiration and happiness for the guy!

[Micky0]

We’re a happy team…..!

[Thryleon]

Wow LOB got an invite??

[kruddler]

I think you were talking about trading him last season....  we are very lucky to have crippa.  He's a ripper!

I was, but that was with an asterisk of sorts, pending if we didn't think we could get his body right and back to his best.
If he remained 'broken' and giving us sub-par performances, he was hurting the team as he couldn't chase/catch anything.
His value would plummet and we couldn't cash in on his value.
No only did he get back to full fitness, Vossy was able to 'cover for him' by surrounding him with hard 2-way runners on he wings to ensure his man didn't get free, and also allow him to drift forward where he demanded a matchup.

Clearly, we did get his body right and S+C coaches deserves a pay rise. Not only did they fix Cripps, but they were able to get Charlie back to a level of fitness we all dreamed of AND get Marchbank back to AFL level as well. Not to menion Docherty putting in AA calibar year when we though he was a right-off.
Those 4 were all 'injured' for basically 2 or so years each. So pat on the back for them.

[Micky0]

Interesting hey.

Oh IG the friend of Charlie’s is shown as Max de Been and seems to be part of the group

[Micky0]

Charlie’s friend

No regional differences in names per se`, in general, names are pronounced using proper Italian as opposed to Dialects.
