I dont know if the club will do as you say because I dont think they have an idea but I agree with you about the core group and the types we need to keep.
I'm actually sick to death about all this negative Carlton crap.
My kids love the club and are glad they dont follw the Swans or the Kangas or the Dons because of our rich history.
When they ask me if MM is the right person at the club how do I answer that to my 11 and 7yo? It breaks my heart to tell them no one has an idea of our destiny. The list as we know it will be ripped up and destroyed at years end. I dont know who will still be with us, and I don't like supporting Murphy Gibbs and Kreuzer because they are average players imo.
The kids hate watching Betts Waite Garlett and Robbo playing. How do I say to my kids about a few current players joining them? How can we be passionate about the current list?
My 11 yo loves Carlton because his name is Carlton. My 7 yo loves Carlton because they have 23 flags.
Last weekend both won BOGs for their age groups and say they are performing because they want to play for the club.
I want to find a new sport to follow for a while. Im sick of this list management bullshit.
No one knows what they are talking about because the lot running the club dont know either other than we are in rebuild,,,after round 2.
That's just as bad as League players signing with the opposition half way through the season. My loyalty to AFL is something Im finding really difficult at present.
