Essendon* beat them.

That on field performance was shattering and the game was brutal to watch, but the scariest part of the night is the size of the crowd. 26k is really really poor and further exposes a stench around the club.

They are on the gear.

Yarran looked like he was about to laugh when he was jabbering to Hill post match. Thought better of it and stopped himself.

And we laughed when saints smashed the drugcheats in Watson's 200 game

The club may think that Wietering is a good player but is he worth 20k fans?

Huge gamble.

I hope Essendon* folds.

This club has lost it's soul and I don't think it's ever coming back. We're a shell

First hand look at the benchmark. That's the positive

As well as the obvious ones Ellard, Jones, Tutt, Watson, Warnock. The likes of Johnson, White, Rowe, Armfield, Wood, Everitt, even Curnow, Bell, Casbout will more than likely never get to that level. Henderson and Yarran I've pretty much forgotten about.....

Some listed are favourites of some, not of others, but it's neither here nor there. Rookie picks, discards, mature age recruits etc. Not there fault, but just not enough top end talent.

Might take 3 years, might take 5, might take 10, but that's the standard. Harsh, but reality.

The next group Byrne, Sheehan, Holman, BB, Walsh, Whiley, Jaksch DVR etc get time and look promising, but then same decisions to be made in a couple of years. Rinse. Repeat.

Coming from a long, long way back.....

As of tonight Cripps was great again especially in close, Murphy and Simpson tried hard, BB OK, not much else....

No run, no pressure, coming off a 6 day break coming back from WA, young team and playing the top team who has smashed other top teams... Was always going to be ugly....

I laughed when Mcavaney suggested we bring back Ratten and compared it to bringing back Parkin
Thanks for Brett and Wayne Hughes for over 5 years of no development

This gets thrown around a lot by mug punters so I don't blame you for repeating it, but in reality that's just utter garbage. It's a problem to be solved by the conditioning and medical staff, and we are @#$%&! hopeless at it.

Hell, look at the body shape of the Hawthorn players versus ours. We're shaped like it's 2009.

Review Buttifant, but I suspect we'll be sacking the sports scientists, the doctors, the physios and the nutrtionists because this isn't the first time this has happened. Our facilties are sufficient enough for the gap not to be this big purely from the perspective of athletic performance.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Ratten has been our only good coach since 2001. Five years ago we were playing finals.

One injury riddled year in 2012 and we shat ourselves. Have been [REDACTED] ever since.

Both these teams are paid about the same amount of money...

#GUILTY

Malthouse destroyed us. This was coming when nothing was done with the list at the end of 2012.

I predicted we'd kick 5 goals and lose by around 100 points, what an optimist. I dunno, reminds me of the last days of Fitzroy, poor crowds, in debt, awful playing list, are we seeing the demise of Carlton?

Things can turn quickly. It isn't that long ago Hawthorn were on their knees and almost amalgamated with Melbourne. It was a mystery to me how quickly they sank from their glory days, and look at them now. Can we do it? Can we survive is probably the more pertinent question.

No point in going to bed, I won't sleep, I'm gunna have a beer (or several). Damn them, I wish Carlton didn't mean so much to me. The generations of support before me, now my grandkids following them. I don't even feel angry, just sad.

I blame McKay and Rogers as much as anyone for this.
