I don’t expect us to win, or even come close. But I’ll be there tomorrow.

You know what, I’m tired of watching our boys playing in front of a combination of empty stands and ferals calling them shit.

The boys right now need us to build them up, not throw rotten fruit at them.

I’ve done a 180 on this the past couple of weeks, going from telling myself “if these players can’t be arsed, neither can I” to realising that the time to show unity and support is now. Otherwise, would it be any @#$%&! wonder if our young guys lost all confidence and became duds, or Cripps or Charlie left in a couple of years?

Again I look at Richmond. How many years were they shit but their supporters kept showing up?

IMO this is a tipping point for the club. If this group keeps getting told how useless they are, they’ll believe it. But maybe, if they know we’re behind them it could be just the thing to make them realise that they belong at this level and at this club, and grow because of it.

FB: Plowman, Jones, Mullett

HB: O’Shea, Rowe, Simpson

2 years of developing a backline and this is the defence? I know we have injuries but none of these players will be there in 2 years time except Plowman!

Apart from Simpson this could have been our VFL backline.

Watching Harry get a chance and Curnow strut his stuff are about the only positives I can take. Cunningham very stiff he's the only player besides Simmo that has run and carried the ball this year.

This reminds me a bit of a game in 1990 when we were in a massive slump & Jezza made 5 changes & brought in a bunch of second stringers just to change things up a bit.

We played Footscray at Footscray which was never easy, & won by 5 goals

Carlton by 125 points.

Cunningham had 3 kicks last week, for a 3rd year midfielder surely he needs to do a bit better than that.
Every week we have had too many non contributors so I'm glad Kerridge is in as he will get more of the ball than Cunningham that's for sure.

Any other brave souls going to the game today?

That's if we can get it out of the backline Red.

No thanks - Bellerive was enough punishment last week sitting in the Ponting stand with the Norf clan who thought they had won the flag

Dow has done SFA for most of the year (not a criticism but a fact).

SPS did SFA after the Coll game last year and never got dropped

Like some of us have said before, there are rules for some and not for others

Every team has its scapegoats. Cunningham is Carlton's
