ahh so its not Bolts, its not SOS its not not a rebuild its not not an attacking game plan its the Board.
The Board who have brought in Bolts, SOS and the rebuild and so those things must be bad (cos the board is bad).
And in the history of the world an organisation that was shite has never, ever turned it around.


we're doomed...


we're doomed...

I'm buying a helmet -

the sky is falling the sky is falling....

Ratten took Carlton to Finals with a Judd led team.
Judd retires and Ratten's injury depleted Carlton team miss finals.

Mick Malthouse in media at the time suggested Carlton is a Premiership contender.
Mick's inuendo was he could take Carlton to GF where Ratten couldn't.
Mick Malthouse took Ratten's Carlton team from cusp of finals to wooden spoon.
Mick Malthouse had alienated the Football Dept, and tore the fabric of the club.
Mick Malthouse was sacked before his contract was completed, before he could do any more damage.

In Malthouse's time at Carlton, and under his watch, the experienced coach:

Lost Betts and Waite for nothing.
Kicked out Garlett and Robinson.
Yarran's health declines.
Henderson leaves.
Holman slipped through undeveloped.
Jaksch, Sumner and Gorringe recruited.

Malthouse broke a fractured club imo.

We hit the bottom of the barrel. Absolute Bottom.

What would you expect a Board to do?

Answer: Make changes to List, Recruitment, Development, Culture and Coach. Rebuild.

Carlton's rebuild is from a very low base.
Carlton's rebuild is very different to any other team.
No point comparing wooden spoon Carlton to Top 10 teams. Ridiculous thing to do.

No one wanted most of the players SOS, Footy Dept and Bolts discarded.
The best of those who were replaced by recycled players imo were Everitt, Buckley, Gowers and Bell.
All of them had question marks at the time. They wouldn't have made any difference to our current plight.

We chose to go to the Draft and trade players for high picks to gain quality players who will be around for our next tilt #17.

No one has seen such a huge turnover of players. Only wooden spooners would be the only teams to come close.
There's logical reasons why top 10 teams don't turnover their list as bottom of the ladder Carlton has.

It is a genuine rebuild, and we expected a lot of short term pain for long term gain.
I hate losing, but I can see why we had to rebuild in a big way, rather than pussy footing: clearly.

This is the last year of the 66 game rebuild. It is planned meticulously like never before (and I heard this from our ex CEO's mouth despite his bitterness being let go).

We have to see it through. Throw stones at the end of 2019 if we don't see a big improvement.

Lets stick together. Phat!

so bang on about that til your hearts content - but don;t bang on about rebuild no rebuild, players no good, old players traded out years ago etc etc.

Seperate the issues.

Issue 1; Shit Board - needs to be replaced. Go for it.

Issue 2: Bolts/SOS and the rebuild.

Don't colour the judgement of 2 with your views of 1: Is that so @#$%&! hard to understand?

Oh and which Baord

The Board with Judd or the Board who brought Judd to the club?

The Board with the current president or the past or the past past president?

When is a Board the same Board? When isn't it?

Bolton made a mistake by not replacing Murphy as Captain IMO. Should have been Simmo or Ed.

I’ll make it easy, anyone who’s been on the board for more than three years should go.

I’m just surprised yearly that (if the process is legit) the players actually unanimously vote for Murph each year

Almost as if they know more about this matter than we do.

you're putting too much trust into a collective group of people who are running the worst club in the afl since the turn of the century. there's a reason we're the worst.

poor decisions & overall ineptitude across every department...

St kilda and Goldcoast are going well aren't they, Gws have done @#$%&! all as well with all the handouts.You are spewing rubbish at nauseum. Are you actually a member or just a fool!!

Most tipped North to be with us and the druggies top 4 and West Coast as big sliders.
Look at how the Roos and Eagles play compared to us, even the pies who last year didn't know what they stood for with the same playing group. Bad skills can't kick a goal blah blah. Amazing what ball movement does to a average team.

I do think we panicked like hell against gold coast even before injuries and our ball out of defense was shizen . That's when it fell apart. I think its injuries and natural skill level when an opposition plays good discipline. More thinking required bolts
