With so many posts going backwards and forwards, I need to get a few things clear in my head.
So please indulge my ramblings.
If Carlton wins, it’s only because of:
Juddy plays as he likes
Fev leads to wherever he likes
No 1 draft picks who do what they want
If Carlton loses, it’s because:
Ratts has no idea
There was no process
Recruitment sucks
President sucks
Assistants suck
No game plan
No kick out strategy
So essentially when we win, we are glossing over the fact that we are in fact, shite.
Winning is only feeding the beast that is Sticks and his ego.
Being in the 8 is an aberration and we should know that our rightful place is in the bottom 4.
Banging on and on about something that can no longer be changed is constructive and this is how it should be for us because we really are crap and don't deserve to enjoy a smidgin of success as long as the boys club continues to thrive.
Dick Pratt was only a brilliant businessman, EXCEPT in his dealings with Sticks, who is a lot shrewder.
Swann is a mere puppet to the whims of the real CEOs in Bear, Brown and Diesel.
I feel better knowing all of this, because I was getting a bit confused with how it all worked, but with the help of some other posters who are firmly entrenched in the upper echelons of the club and hanging around bars at 5am in the morning and gleaning all the goss, I am firmly back on track.
I agree entirely. Some people in this forum allow their emotions to affect their judgement!
