My counter argument here would be that even those who were pissed at the club, but who didn't dismantle it brick by brick, day in day out, minute by minute, post by post, have equally as much reason to be proud of the Club's last 6 weeks at the moment.

Do the posters who said Carlton was Shite, from top to bottom, over and over, now become more entitled than the rest of us to bask in the current improvement. Are they more entitled to do so, than those who knew we were shite but who chose not to go on and on and on and on about it.

But as quick as those few that said were were shite, were to jump back on, they will jump back off again as soon as the wheels fall off. Like Death and Taxes it is inevitable. As soon as Gibbs has an off game! As soon as Rowe has 5 kicked on him! As soon as White has a few clangers! They will be back to what they do best. Sniping and gouging all and sundry. Taking cheap shots are the easiest thing in the world.

Give me the sugarcoaters any day. At least they are 100% consistent. :wink:

Regards Cazzesman



Cazzeman

I loved the club for 45 years. And I won't be jumping off when we have a bad game or when Gibbs stinks it up in the foreseeable future.
I was on board when Kernahan left and Lo Giudice drove the need to have an independent panel to go through an exhaustive process to get the right man to coach us. This process should have been going on 20 years ago.
The panel was carefully selected. I loved the fact that Postecoglu was on the panel. A guy who has built a team of elite athletes from scratch. And Judd had seen firsthand knowledge on how [REDACTED] the club was
This wouldn't have happened if the old Carlton had been still around but sticks and co could have learned from their mistakes rather than be arrogant .Those mistakes were Pagan and Ratten. No interview process there. And despite this they went and got a yesterday man, paid him 3 million with no
Thought or process to see what else was out there

I stopped being a member from that point on because clearly the club was dysfunctional, inept and I wasn't putting my hard earned into the club.
And apologies to Tommi here but I was right. Malthouse was a huge mistake but it should have never happened in the first place giving the previous dozen years.

Anyway to answer your question. No I'm not a member. I chucked in teaching four years ago. I'm a personal trainer at Deakin Uni down here in Geelong working weekends and I also wrap and deliver newspapers which is a night shift job with the weekend being the busy time so it is near impossible for me to get to games. My partner and I will be attending Saturdys game and purchasing a 3 game membership.

Now when are you Tommi and King Kernahan going to give an answer to having a beer
We all are different but share the love of the club.
Yes or no?


You do sound like a nice bloke Keogh.
I have many things in common with you it seems, but I'm a better bloke.

"It is great being a Bluebagger win or lose". My 12 yo son said that 2 years ago.

The joy my kids are feeling now is incedible and so pleasing. They deserve some success for their loyalty.
Stick phat over the good times and bad and you will see success in that period.

As long as people understand the players, coaches, administrators, recruiters,board will @#$%&! up from time to time we'll be right.

It's inevitable, perfection isn't a license granted to anyone in this world. As long as we make the right decisions way more times than the wrong then we'll be OK.

Debate quickly and vigorously, decide unanimously and deliver everything required to make the decision a success via complete unity.

It's not that hard

I reckon this season is 2004 all over again, so to see a pic of the doyens of TC from ten plus years ago is quite fitting.

Now come on... don't be shy. Who is in the picture?

I think Jarusa, CK95, tommi, pheonixjohnson, CarltonGod, Obscuratron, Blueseum, molsey and steve are in it.

Look
I don't know who's who.....nor do I care
But that photo confirms my suspicions
Anyone who wears 3/4 length pants is an absolute wanker.

Goodnight!


Obviously our sponsors were a bit dodgy as well

And Tommi I still can see the puff of smoke wafting from where diesel chiseled that hand pass to ginger gleeson :smoking:

Can someone give us a names to faces run down.

In he back row I reckon that's Stephen Curry on the far left, and Simon Verbeek in the middle.

Either side of Tommi (who appears to be missing half a leg) is the love child of Anthony Franchina, Ian Prendagast and Blake Campbell one side and Lars Ulrich on the other....

Not sure about the rest.... :razz:

We could have a bad year next year or win less games than we win in 2016. However this isn't 2004 because we have a modern coach, with a modern game plan, 6 or 7 kids who look the goods, a great list manager and CEO who works his arse off. Progress is not linear and even, so stick with us when we hit the inevitable bump in the road

Bit early to be making calls like that. As Bolton says consistently, we have a long way to go.

Amen,

The difference between 04 and 16 is so big that quantum physics couldn't calculate it.

We have all been hurt.

What I feel and know is we play with enthusiasm and a plan. It's obvious that the players know what ey need to do. The last coach to get a group to play to a plan is Parkin. I couldn't care less if we lose a game if we show this intense plan. We lost to NM and I knew why we were going to lose by half time. It wasn't aptitude, it was man power. I'm willing to lose a few games when we get out gunned but not to spirit and application.
