I'm banned here very often
In even told by moderators I should have my own blog
Don't you tell me when I can post and when I can't too

I looked in tea leaves many years ago and told you that you'll never see a flag at this club ever again
Not just you but your children and you're childrens children
That's the state of this football club
In fact it's people like you who attempt to cover for the perpetrators who are just as guilty as they are for allowing this to happen.
Think back at all the fools gold you've been yelling eureka on
This club is no closer to success than it was during the Goddard wells night at afl house

Do you know how long ago that was?

The club has slid into the abyss
It was no accident either


Do you know how hard it is to take the greatest club in Australian sport and put it through the mincer?
It's very rare that happens and it's not bad luck.. And it's not getting fixed by these people

It's the same people you've been cheering on for the duration of the collapse!

Take a bow! You supported out every step of the way

Same garbage.. Stop it!
Been hearing you trelling us all is good
Trying to stop people from talking up loll
Pathetic!
Who are you to tell us we can't speak up after Fifteen years of garbage and four spoons?
It's getting so precious it's ridiculous

The underlying problems this club faces are no different today than they were fifteen years ago.
The decision makers are crap!
This has nothing to do with me and everything to do with them.
So you're wrong in your attempts to hush people who know the club much more intricately and can step back and look at it in clearer context than somebody like you!

Sure you can have me banned again loll.. But the clubs problems do not vanish no matter how many fingers you're crossing.

You need to prove I've been wrong about this board all along.. That's what you need to prove yourself right and me wrong.
Short of that you're sooking it up

Firstly, I hope the 4 players get fit, and play many, many good games for Carlton, however, you've missed the point...

Apart from possibly Plowman, they weren't going to play for GWS again.... they were surplus to requirements for GWS; if they weren't contracted they would have been delisted (if they weren't traded)!

GWS have better, younger, cheaper players they preferred... and they needed the roster spots for their academy players, and mature age replacements.

Why wasn't any other club interested in these players?

How do you think GWS were able to bring in Stevie J? Hopper, Kennedy etc? This trade was critical for GWS!!

We could have, and should have, driven a much better deal (i.e including Tomlinson)!!!

Was disappointed to see Docherty going one-on-one with Tippett and Franklin on a few occasions. To play 4 tall defenders and still somehow lose our structure and end up with Docherty covering is not acceptable.

A week too late sorry champ .

Should have been on this horse last week and we might have taken some interest.

Ah yes but the board replaces the staff to fix the problem and that doesn't fix the problem.
Want to know why the board can't fix the problem when though they have replaced everybody three times over?


That's because the board IS THE problem!

Who would have thought eh? Lol

Simple case of process of elimination really

Have we been told when the 66 games begin exactly and exactly what's expected after we hit 66 games?
This is like listening a clairvoyant

thats the best contribution on TC ever

we have been rebuilding since 2003...

collo said it
smorgon said it
sticks said it
the judge said it

as surrey pointed out elsewhere if we get the build wrong its curtains for Carlton.

Yes the wheels we put on over the end of last season..

I just looked into my tea leaves and I see more of the same.

Let's see!

The difference is none of them did it. This regime is clearing the decks, recruiting and have them properly coached.

They had enough list space and cap space to accommodate most if not all of them, and none of them were out of contract.

Could have re-rookied them if they so wished.


Rowe with a game high 13 spoils, White with 4.

You guys were saying the same thing about Malthouse, and Ratten before him, and Pagan before him.....

Yeah, this time it will be different!

And you've hidden like scared child at the first hint of positive performance against Richmond, lest you be seen to be even the slightest bit wrong.


10 goal loss and out you come.

And that's what shits you. You're angry that you didn't take the opportunity last week to proclaim this as another false dawn!!! Now you just look like another nuffie when you could have been a prophet!!!!

i don't subscribe to this whole shit opinion, we were a crap team last year, therefore we should expect to be crap again this year.

watching the swift and sharp rise of the bulldogs and port before them. bottom 4 teams with apparently no list depth and void of positional players but they come in with a new coach and new philosophy and they win off the bat and now they're looking like top 4 material in a few seasons.

i'm bound by frustration, not blue.

Let's see how the season progresses till round 12
I have a feeling the wheels will fall off again
The wheels.
Uherm

All too predictable seeing the same old nags rock back in when the boys on field have a tough day at the office.

Not sure what more than changing the list with 15 new players in one season will do to satisfy some... I know every recruitment selection isn't going to be a Stringer, Bontempelli, Wines or Cameron..

I didn't see anyone on this board or any other board or any expert commentators for that matter suggesting our selection of coach was a bust either, yet there you go, suddenly the couch potatoes are stirring... (and to think we missed out on Roosy)

What the @#$%&! is this 12 rounds crap about? Such a targeted, indefensible statement... What are we going to wait for round 12 to work out? What the hell satisfies a pass mark? If we win 3 by round 12 is that acceptable, 6 wins ? If we don't win the next 10, what happens? Another epic fail? Sack everyone again?

I actually don't get what will satisfy some... Nothing short of being undefeatable immediately will do.... Sorry but that ain't gonna happen, with this club or any other club.. The era of deep pockets of 15 years ago is gone.....

I'm tired of the same regurgitation that spews out of the same old's around here.

I've hated the last 15 years and this is the first time in a long time that I see a glimmer of enthusiasm, structure, development.. Even a 10 goal defeat, left me gutted but not disillusioned like the many others I've had to endure...

I just want to enjoy seeing the kids develop over the next 2-3 years, maybe win a few this year, more wins the next year and maybe a few more again the year after...

I also really enjoy reading the some of the critical, constructive, out-there thinking on this forum.. just not the same garbage I've had to tolerate for the last 5 years, please...

i used to agree with some of your posts, but you are just purely negative. if this is the way you support your club, go and support someone else

Yes the wheels we put on over the end of last season..

I just looked into my tea leaves and I see more of the same.

Let's see!
