That's what I remember hearing on the BB selection.

Every other team has focussed on fast ball movement and fitness.

I can't for the life of me see what Carlton has worked on in the off season.

Aren't we in a rebuild?...

Unusual for you.

..pillow talk to back up the selection.. ..every club does it more or less.. ....but if you look at the facts and come to your own conclusion.. ..he was never going to be contributing from round one.. ..how could he..?..

I expected us to beat Richmond. Partly because we were told by the club that we had changed our ways, the list changes made over summer where for the better and we came up against the most unaccountable team in the league. Deep down I had a flicker of hope.

I now truly believe our club is in a lot of trouble. More trouble than salary cap Pagan punishment years.
MM has changed the list so much that it now includes more plodders than x-factors and game breakers and the game breakers we have are a shadow of themselves. Any hope I had going into this season has truly vanished after 1 game.

This is going to now take management some real b@lls to fix but more importantly it's going to take time. This is the most crucial point. The changes made will need to be inclusive of the members to keep the faith and give us hope. Membership cannot dwindle.

No room to consider

1 loss of daisy early
2 captain not performing
3 gibbs well down
4 yarran injured
5 kj injured
6 walker missing
7 kreuzer missing

Thats a lot of fire power that just didnt perform. Yet we only lost by 4 goals.

I dont believe in excuses, but i would be rope-able if gibbs and murphy performed like that all season. Injuries are temporary.

I don't post here particularly often, just when i feel strongly about where my club is heading. I have been watching the Blues since 1970 (not a bad debut year), and there was always an excitement and an anticipation on Saturday mornings. It was a badge of honour having every one of the 22 matches clipped off on your junior membership card. So not only was Thursday nights game a huge disappointment but i have to admit to being less than excited beforehand. The last few years have sucked the life out of the supporters, absolutely nothing has changed, no light at the end of the tunnel and no one to focus on and give me a reason to enjoy watching my footy. Even back in the dark dark days there was always Fev. Now there is nothing.....loved watching Eddie.....gone....Jeffy could turn it on and get your pulse racing.....gone....Waite (the good one).....gone. This game was a sad reflection on our once great club....and yes once great....we are so ordinary and dare i say a laughing stock of the AFL. I'm not going to sit here and pontificate on what the solution is, to be honest my footy heart is probably at it's lowest ebb and i have no remedies. I just want something different, give me a reason to shell out my dollars for a membership year in year out and actually enjoy watching the footy again. The game i saw on Thursday night was utter garbage. I got more enjoyment watching a VAFA practice match the following morning. Have a good hard look at what your serving up to your loyal supporters Carlton, for f*#k sake do something! That's it, not much more to say.
