Courtesy of the internet (and TC ) I now know that Brock McLean is pretty much the worst footballer in the comp. Can't run, bad skills, won't shake the hands of opponents, poor overhead, doesn't win clearances. This is of course based on three games in the NAB Cup / Challenge.

What I am wondering is whether Carlton fans have always been so quick to judge before the internet came along? Were there people in the outer jumping up and down in intra-club games in 1986 claiming that Jon Dorotich was going to be our weakest link? Did fans nudge each other in amusement in February 1993 and declare that they just knew Steven Oliver would head back to the bush? Were they whispering before the 1970 grand final that Barassi had no gameplan and that he needed to tell the players to handball and play on at all costs? Were fans at training in the late 60's telling all and sundry that Bruce Doull had to be picked in the seniors?

In short, were we more patient before the internet came along? Is it now a race to see exactly who can write off player x in the shortest amount of time so that said poster can claim the 'glory' when that player fails?
