Your post is flawed.
Its that exact attitude that is the reason we are rooted unless some big calls are made now
For a start we need a decent President
Someone who has some clout and wont be everyones mate. Sticks had no option but to tell big Jack he was no longer wanted by the club. That should have been done 5 years ago when Elliott almost single handedly put this club out of existence.
Secondly our list has no depth.Our 12 or so top players are very good but it drops off heaps after that. On top of that for some strange reason guys like Bannister who should have been given the arse 4 years ago get favoured over Anderson whose form in the 2s warrants selection and from what I saw last year Ando has a future at the Blues. Obviously Carlton thinks so by giving him a contract till 2010.Yet he hasnt played a game this year. What a joke.
On field discipline. It pains me to say this but we havent learnt from StKilda (DelSanto, Milne)
Collingwood (Didak, Shaw)
Geelong (Steve Johnson)
Those 3 clubs took away what those players game time in the seniors because of individualism on the field or shit behaviour off it.
Look who is reaping the benefits now
Both player and club
Fevola should be told to go away for a month and play for the Bullants.
He should be told if you dont play for the team then !@#$%& off
The MC havent had the guts to do it
There is a common thread in Brendan's behaviour.
3 weeks of team orientated footy.Bags of goals then
A pathetic selfish peformance last Friday night
And so the cycle of behaviour continues and the club have really done nothing about it except bury their collective heads in the sand and ignore. A personally was ashamed as a supporter from what I saw from Fevola Friday night.
It is wrong to have him playing this Sunday. Take away the right to play for Carlton because he doesnt deserve it.
Stevens should be told to retire . Its obvious the game is passing him by. Too slow. Another selfish footballer who for all his great skill and nouse doesnt cut it because he has a negative effect on the playing group. Fancy an AFL footballer being overweight. Yet its not the first time. Fancy an AFL footballer taking the short steps to avoid full contact with a player about to mark inside 40 metres (Lloyd deep in the third last Friday night)
And guess what folks Ratten didnt even send the runner out to him let alone drag him for a weak effort
Then there is princess Houlihan who has played the most games of any Carlton player in a Carton jumper except Fevola.
Surely I dont need to say anymore there
Then there is the selection of Bentley Bannister
Gartlett being dropped against the quickest team in the AFL
O'hailpin being dropped
Then there is the game plan of Ratten.
We move the ball out of defense with the speed of a glacier on tranquilisers.
Players still kick it to often to Fevola
If it wasnt for Betts amazing skill we would have been beaten by 90 points on Friday night
We flood back too quickly allowing for space for players to run freely into about 60 metrs of goal
Most of out goals come from individual brilliance rather than structure.
We have too many player doing defensive jobs
Our experienced players Judd being the exception dont lead by example when the chips are down and this has being going on for years.
We will probably make the eight because its been such an unusual season with 2 teams dominating 10 wins will probably get you win. Murphy and Kreuzer have improved. Judd is better this year.A couple of individuals have got better. Thats it.
On top all this guys OKeefe, Tiller, Hill play for the Bullant seconds more often than not. That shit standard of footy doesnt help their progress. These guys should be the first picked for the Bullants 1sts because their development is crucial
Chilling NO
This club is still largely in the pooh and unless it makes tough calls will not progress to the Holy Grail
Period.
Interesting times indeed.
Now, let's see what response there is tonight at the selection table and then on the weekend.
