Emergency board meeting after 4 losses? lol.

Let's see. Ratten's taken us from nothing but our greatest ever rabble to the point of actually playing for top spot a few weeks ago, even if we did stuff it up, we have huge injuries in our most important structural spots, not to mention alot of injuries to any replacements, a few out of form, not to mention important blokes, who are actually playing, that missed much of the pre-season. Not the first side to have a bad patch and eventually come out of it, as we did in 2010, and won't be the last (as Worsfold would testify too). We achieved targets each year thus far and due to circumstances this might be the first we don't. Don't think an emergency Richmond board meeting (sh1t forgot, it's Carlton) is going to happen somehow. Wouldn't be one coach that wouldn't be cut some slack from that. If it was it'd be the knee-jerk reaction that happened to Dean Bailey last year after that Geelong debacle. Fat lot of good that did. After a couple of heavy losses there's so many mindless moronic posts from people that simply have no ability to think or analyse a situation "under pressure". Makes them basically weaker mentally than the people they criticise in the p1ss weak way they handle losses.

I do accept we have fight alot harder than we have. A couple of those recent games were so goddamn weak. Similar to that patch in 2010 but we turned it around. What to last year efforts when we fought tooth and nail every game no matter the circumstances. Never thrashed. This year is a step back in that area but when you play "dead" for years as we did under Pagan, then when we tanked sometimes it's too easy to slip back into that mindset making for a culture that is far from perfect.

We were favourites for each of those thrashings we received Wookie.
Itss not about just losing... its how you lose and to whom.

Sticks asked me to post this

Stephen Kernahan . “Synbad, we live in a world that has Stadiums, and those stadiums have to be filled by supporters and fans. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Synbad? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Setanta, and you curse the recruiters. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Setanta delisting, while tragic, probably saved Bower. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves Carlton. I know deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like process, audit, accountability. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent playing for something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the Great Football Club I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you get back to your key board , and write another condescending post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!”

Sticks wouldnt know what half of that meant!!!

Id be rapt if Sticks could write that....

But i liked it SB....

Im starting to warm to you....

BTW ive spoken to Sticks numerous times.... once he got really angry at me cos i asked one or two difficult questions.

I know there is no way he could have written something like that....

He says stuff like "We're Carlton !@#$%& the rest!!"... and sculls another VB...
