The fact of the matter is that we had every reason to win today and we couldn't.
Hawthorn have been struggling and are nowhere near their best yet.
If Pratts death couldn't get us up nothing will.
We were behind all day and only got a run at the end when Hawthorn dropped off.
Our better players played well.
We are still a long way off.
So we played off in a "CLASSIC" game, and lost, but it wasn't good enough and we should hold no hope for improvement because if we couldn't use Pratts death as motivation then nothing will get us over the line ???
Can you say overreaction ???
Why is it that 95% of the football world will see this game as a CLASSIC for the season, but Carlton supporters will see it as a FAILURE ???
Pull your finger out people !!!!!!!!!!!
My apologies, I should be jumping up and down about a loss. What are we, Richmond?
Plus where did I say Failure?
The fact of the matter is that what I want is a premiership. Unlike some people near enough isn't good enough for me and to achieve this we need to be
realistic about where we are at. Yes, our effort was fantastic but we have issues we need to address.
Where did you say failure ??? Indicating that we couldn't even beat an underperforming team even after the death of a loved Carlton member = implying the game/effort was a failure in my, and probably most peoples books
You wan't a premiership and DEMAND it right away ??? Anything less isn;t good enough (eg a failure). God what number were you wearing out there tonight ??? How much blood, sweat and tears have you put in at training and on game day to be able to DEMAND a premiership, and anything less isn;t good enough ???
You say that we need to be "realistic about where we are at". Where we are at is coming from 11th spot with a young, developing team and a young, inexperienced coaching panel. Where we are at is a Captain stating at the start of the season is Finals as the goal (not the premiership you want). Where we are at is a team growing together, learning how to play as a team and developing as players individually.
It is the marketing department (slogan that Stick's kinda laughs at), Media and Supporters that have Carlton as a Top 4 team. It it Carlton who are trying things out in the senior team (Cloke as a CHF, Setanta in the Ruck/up forward) and the Ants (Harlett in the backline, Hampson up forward or up back) so address the weaknesses in the team.
How long do you think it took the Cats and Hawks to learn the game plan their young coaches (at the time) implemented ??? How many years of losses before the gameplans became effective ???
To be as negative as a large proportion of the TC posters have been after NARROWLY loosing a CLASSIC game aainst the REIGNING PREMIERS is REDICULOUS and, as you would put it, very "Richmond" like ................
It sounds like we need to start rebuilding again, sacking the coach and recruitment team because out gameplan sucks, we have no KPP and we are doing NOTHING to address these problems ...........
stop rebuilding. Also; the more people start demanding others "remain positive" the more the negative posts start to mount up. All that is needed is a little perspective.
