Round 12 – Carlton v Geelong: We’ve got the Blues

 

Round 12
Carlton v Geelong
Friday 29 May 2026
MCG, Melbourne 

 

The Cat Pack podcast laments the four point loss to the Bogey Blues.

 

We blame the Carlton Board and Michael Voss
for precipitating this disappointing loss.
We all liked your second half fade-outs
We don’t like the Fraser, sacked-coach bounce
David Roden has something to answer for too
and don’t get us started on the ARC, boohoo.
The Cats were outplayed at stoppage and contest
And of the Patty Captains, Crippa proved best.
But the Cat Pack will not succumb to despair
When the whips are cracking our boys will be there.
