Fellow carltonians,
We have played in 2 finals series, have potentially a one of the best midfield, have if not the best the 2nd or 3rd best player in the comp.
Then how did we lose against a side that came 4th last, has a rookie coach and 2 players down! I have seen the same mistakes made over the past 2-3 years. I am sick of it!!!!! we have not improved since last year or the year before. What i saw today was disgusting ie. gibbs was ball watching and just plain soft. Why did ratten move warnock back in the ruck after he kicked a goal!!!!
We do not have any players out there that play for the jumper. Essendon* from what i saw does play for the jumper.
Ratten has to go. this year is a write off. i know its round 4 but the signs are not good. i hope i am proven wrong.
I am really sick of this too.
Our players are simply not improving at all. You are right about Gibbs, he really has gone soft. I don't understand why our players can go backwards like that. And the fact that players like Duigan and Curnow with 4 games of AFL experience each are playing good footy proves that the a lot of our players who are in the system for a number of years are just crap.
We got our first wooden spoon in 2002 and Collingwood have played in a grand final 2002. 8 years later they have a totally new team and won a premiership, but we are still a couple of years away from making an impact.
We are suppose to have started rebuilding a lot earlier than they have but why are we so far behind??
