PROS
-Accurate kicking for goal for a change and thank goodness for that.
-Rucks did better than I expected.

CONS
-Players managed to make even less than an effort than they have for the last few weeks. Supporters are being shown nothing to justify forking out their hard earned money and making the effort to actually get to the games. All I see when I go is a bunch of guys who look like they would rather be anywhere else (apologies to the few guys who actually do give a crap).
-We are not just mentally fragile, the side has had a complete and seemingly irreversible nervous breakdown. Which is so sad to see, after the decent start to the year.
-I don't think we have even reached rock bottom yet.

Pros: Beat the traffic home leaving at 3 quarter time.

Cons: Normally I'm one of the first to leave early but this time there were people leaving in droves before half time.

Pros:

None.............. None what so ever!



Cons:

- More of the same shit.

- Next week will be the same shit too.

- Punters have now realised that we constantly dish up the same shit week-in week-out and now I wont make as much money betting against Carlton.

You've changed a lot in the last few years. A lot. Well at least from those youthful wide eyed years when you jogged past your idol Kouta at Princes Park and looked forward to our renaissance in a few years time after a few more good picks and the kids grow up.

It's sad, how things change, and hope is out the door.
I know how you feel. We were all optimistic once Pagan was gone.

I'm sure things are going to get better...there's a PRO.

Everyone looks good in Navy Blue

PROS
- Warnock (A run in the twos has him all the better for it)
- Grigg (Liking what I'm seeing, was not afraid of Collingwood)
- Ellard (I didn't think much of this kid, previously but now I'm a fan)
- Waite (Contests, contests, contests)
- Judd (If the team helped him, imagine what he could do)
- Bower (Wouldn't mind seeing him the forward line, just for something different)

CONS
- Joseph (Defensive player? Tagger more like it. Give Carrazzo the defensive role and make Joseph the tagger, it's worked before)
- Johnson (Why, oh, why is he in the team?)
- Jamison (Just not working hard enough)
- Forward line (Cannot do anything right)
- Kicking in (Ever since the Adelaide game in Adelaide last season, this always has me worried)

BIGGEST CON
Ratten (Please, what does he bring to the team? Honestly. At least coach from the boundary like all the other coaches are doing. At least, it makes it look like you care.)

Pros:

I just watched Collingwood vs. St Kilda from a few weeks back. And it was very much a case of deja vu. Collingwood players swarming all over the opposition. St Kilda unable to get the ball into their end of the ground. None of which makes Carlton's performance any better, but it did put it into a bit of context.
