Personally, I think Ratten is a moron who will sink this club even further than we have already sunk...
I have Carlton in the blood and could never barrack for anyone else, but if we end up getting rid of these two I will just give up entirely...
it feels for me personally that I've been barracking for the O'h's more than the team itself over the last few years, and will be at my wits end if it ends up pear shaped..
I mean, to my way of thinking if the O'h's come good, its a sign that the whole bloody team will eventually... and all I keep hearing is how bad Setanta was in the ruck the last year, how he doesn't do the little extra things and how he runs around out of position.. um, did he not kick a goal every game he was played in the ruck last year, after Clokey went down???? Does it seem like he has been told to go out and try something different? No.
Personally, I think our entire playing list is too similar, and I mean in terms of backgrounds...Essendon* has the Indigenous fleet, and Bachar Houli, every other team who has invested in Irish talent seems to be coming off... most teams have a bit of a mix, but Carlton still looks like a boys club... if you don't know the rules then bugger off... if Setanta in particualr, and Aisake, aren't coming along, then I blame only one person. Ratten. I keep waiting for Setanta to improve in the space of a season out of sight the way he apparently did in his first year of hurling...
Ratten just doesn't seem very smart, despite his being supposedly a smart person. Is he a good communicator? Probably not. Was he my favorite player way back when...yes. Do I like him now? Less and less every week...
Two weeks into the season and this has started!
Next, it will be bring back Pagan....
