That’s a disappointing comment BV.
Disappointing? I watch the news tonight and Bruce Mathieson is bagging the club. I read the other bloke who tried to overthrow the board last year is having a sook to the media. I read TC and the usual suspects are throwing the toys out of the cot. You don't hear from them when we're winning games but they love to make themselves heard when we have a loss.
It's 7 games into the season and they're after blood. Our supporters are eating our club and the media is gleefully lapping it up. That's what's disappointing
Agree. Mattheson's public outburst is very disappointing. Talk re: Voss or the board being sacked is embarrassing.
Problem though, you can't expect to keep blindly supporting an organisation and pretending there is nothing wrong, when it keeps falling at every key point of it's progress and every obstacle that is thrown at it. Our supporters are passionate, and that's what makes our club great. Most clubs would love to have what we have, including the membership no.'s. That's why it's been so successful and that is why we are turning up to games in big, big numbers.
The problem isn't the supporters, it's the club culture and the direction it took when it chased the high draft picks. It lost it's heritage, leadership and direction. As I said at the time, you can't just turn the switch back on!
I haven't heard matteson's outburst but they need a public rocket, i would had preferred it came from the coach though.
That's the number one problem, voss needs to coach like he played, take not prisoners and cange his !@#$ game plan.
Like Drewgirl said we have a multitude of talent but we don't know how to play.
You all telling me that Collingwood or St Kilda just to name a few have more talented players than us? Not a chance.
I will pick Collingwood as to me they only have a few stars. Pendlebury, Degoey, Moore. Others are good to average footballers. But they go hard, they enjoy their footy, they have a strut and confidence about them. They are extroverts. They play for eachother.
We look scared and want to palm the ball off at the very first opportunity. We just let the ball come out of our backline with ease, and all run back to defend, but by that stage we have let the opposition get repeat entries and it all gets too much and disorganised.
I expected a lot since last year. I make no apologies about that. Sick of seeing teams that were below us or around the same move past. And i dont mean ladder position, it’s how we play and fight out games.
Brisbane were below us and look now.
St Kilda - Well they are St Kilda so enough said
Adelaide - Are playing better footy than us.
Gold Coast are playing better footy than us.
Collingwood with all the injuries and average players and ones they traded out. Are up the top.
We have all the ingredients - So why are our best players down all at once.

These are all senior leaders !! They talk about improvement, and the want to compete etc. They are a shadow of themselves, and we have no leadership at the moment.
Not saying it wont turn around, but i dont go into games with any excitement and energy cause i know by the end of the game, i will be angry and upset.
I dont even want to go and watch games but I do. I buy two memberships an MCC and Carlton one and i will always do so, so i am not a bandwagoner.
I have followed Carlton since the 1970’s so I have been spoilt. And the last few years we have been patient as we were building a list Yada yada.
Now im sorry but there are no excuses anymore. And i wont apologise for seeming like a sook or catastrophising like i was accused of.
Carlton just stand up !!!!!!!! Starts tonight. Let’s see because i think we have a better list than the Dogs. Keep the dogs at bay - literally from all angles.
