I am home from 4 lovely days in Sydney. Saw lots of the sights, Harbour Bridge, Opera house, Manly, Bondi, ferry cruises, Hyde Park, Darling Harbour. Had lovely weather, lots of blue sky.
Shame about the bloody footy.

We have been making the Finals in the last couple of Seasons and finishing around 8-9th Position. This year, we were expected to go further and challenge for the top 4, but what happened was a reality Check!!!

We have gone backwards... Why? well I believe it's because we have already reached our Peak of finishing as high as 8th. We have reached our limit and potential with is playing List. It is downhill from now on!!

I have learned one Valuable lesson: You can not build a successful club around recycled players and rejects from other Clubs. Players like Daisy, Everett & Co are Average players whom at their peak will be B Graders.... What the club lacks and needs are A Grade Players!!!

How do we get A Grade players? It's Via the draft...making the right choices and making the most of the limited opportunities we get each year...

Sadly, Our Terrible recruiting for many years have come to bite us hard... Our List today is the result of so many wasted opportunities at drafting some talented kids.

We are surely the Number 1 Club that has wasted more First round draft picks than any other Club. How could this club allow the Recruiters to remain in Charge, after years of stuff ups?

Same people potting Yaz for having a laugh on the ground that were potting him for having a sook on the bench when made sub last year. Can't have it both ways.

What strikes me as a common trend this season is how little resilience this group has. More than a few occasions this year, we've been right in it in the first quarter, and the reward for effort hasn't come on the scoreboard, and we've gotten smashed not long after the head drops. Compare say the Geelong game where the reward for effort did come to last night (Bell's disallowed goal, the dicey 50m penalty), or even the first Collingwood game where I thought we were again good early but couldn't put it on the scoreboard.

No real sense of what adversity is. No blowtorch ever applied to get them to work harder. Culture of near enough is good enough will do that to you.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR TALKINGCARLTON SUPERCOACH 2009 YET?

I never posted anything about Yarran having a sook last year, got your wires crossed...don't get your point anyway...

To be honest, I didn't read your post and have no idea what your thoughts were on it, few posters on here other than yourself?

Do we want him to care more, or does he care too much when its not in his best interests? Do we still have too many introverts?

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

What I've noticed in a similar vein, is when one of our players kicks an unexpected goal lets say....a difficult snap from the boundary or whatever; which was desperately needed by the team.

There's no convergence of excited team mates rushing in excitedly to hug him for his effort and goal....just the usual hand slap in passing.....no passion....no ''let's keep this going....we can do this mob'' or whatever.....no bloody enthusiasm at all......''oh yeah.....it's a job'' seems to be the go.

I wonder what TalkingGeelong was like after their 100+ point flogging at the hands of Sydney?

Was the exception rather than the rule.

Where was the same passion after half time? That goal got us to only 7 points down, which was an impressive effort, given the skills in the first half were pretty ordinary, but the effort was good.

I am trying to block out Saturday night. Very disappointing game, there were quite a few Carlton supporters at the game. Wasnt expecting a win but that 3rd quarter was hard to take. Havent watched the replay but did we get a free kick in that quarter? Totally outclassed but i thought we had a go for the other 3 quarters. I have to catch up with what has happened, being in Sydney there is virtually no AFL news. We couldnt get 7 mate on our TV so missed all of the other games, a few upsets i see.
A nice break all the same.

Our indifferent midfield with the following possession count:

Bell - 14
Judd- 13
McLean - 11
Ellard/Graham - 11 (combined)


Whilst Kennedy 41 and McVeigh 29 (does anyone ever think to tag this guy when we play Sydney) just about says it all.

Our midfield are never prepared to or just can't work hard enough against Sydney, it's an embarrassing indictment on this club.

What happened to Gibbs and Murphy?

you'd think micky woke up from last year’s final, but I think he was waiting for mcveigh to get up to 39 before applying some pressure and the best inside mid was going to have to run out of batteries sooner or latter

siesta time not over yet

the bright side was that our fans in the stands got a closer view of our players

Said earlier in this thread:

"the whole 5' 11' of Luke Parker taking a PACK mark against 3 Carlton players coz they were all watching a Swans player instead of the incoming ball.And one of those 3 Carlton players was Levi.Effen pathetic !"

Never a tru-er word spoken. Nothing Malthouse can do about a SHIT list. Parker even kept his feet after the jump, and Levi goes tumbling over!!!
