It’s been a long old season for Carlton, who are one of three teams to register a solitary win from their eight games.
And this weekend they face the daunting proposition of high-flying Brisbane, who are hoping to keep pace with the top three.
And the boys on The Front Bar have mocked the club ahead of that clash, highlighting just how far Carlton have fallen.
In a spoof of the leaked Lions whiteboard from before their victory over Essendon last weekend, which listed their strengths and weaknesses.
The Front Bar posted a ‘leak’ of the whiteboards of their analysis for their opponents tomorrow.
That featured an entire office full of whiteboards, all featuring the term ‘weaknesses’ and the Carlton logo.

Carlton have had to endure a nightmare season that has seen them manage just one win in eight games so far
Brisbane on the other hand are sitting fourth in the league and aiming to keep pace with the top three with a win at the weekend
Perhaps most embarrassingly is that there is not a single board featuring strengths in their mock-up.
In the clip posted to their X account, Nick Molloy says, ‘Unfortunately, there’s been another leak.
Andy Maher then responds, ‘There has, the Brisbane whiteboard story, unfortunately, everyone has been across it.
‘The Aus Kickers going through the club and one of the dads quite innocently took a photo put it in a WhatsApp group and it got posted.’
Molloy followed up, ‘There’s been another leak from the Lions, well they play Carlton this week.
‘So they wanted to do the same thing and prepare a whiteboard for strengths and weaknesses.
‘But they had to order in because they needed more whiteboards, weakness, weakness, weakness,’ he said as they showed the mock-up.
That drew a swell of laughter from the crowd in attendance, highlighting how Carlton has become one of the laughing stocks of the AFL.
The leak from Brisbane came ahead of their tie with Essendon last week, where the board had a less-than-positive review of their opposition.
It included their supposed strengths and weaknesses, notably Zach Merrett and Kyle Langford being ‘selfish’ and Ben McKay having ‘low confidence’.
Bombers midfielder Elijah Tsatas was labelled ‘fumbly’, defender Saad El-Hawli’s ‘defensive accountability’ was questioned, as was Xavier Duursma’s ‘decision making’.
Carlton will be aiming to pull off one of, if not the biggest upset of the season so far to add to their one win on the season.
That win came against fellow strugglers who are currently propping up the Premiership.
So bad have Carlton’s performances been, that they have failed to score over 90 points in a single game.
They were dismantled 108-69 by St Kilda in their last game scoring, kicking 9 goals to their opponents 16.
The aforementioned upset may be hard to come by against a Lions side who have won two in a row and ran riot against Essendon following their whiteboard leak.
