Carlton Supporters Club

"I remember one game walking out behind the team as they ran out on to the ground. All these injured blokes in a Carlton uniform were walking up to the grandstand. I looked at them and thought: 'There's 15 or 16 blokes who would have been in the best 18. There's my team; who has just run out out there?' That was the first time I thought: 'This is going to be a tough day.'

A couple of times during the game, when they showed the injured, suspended and out of form sitting in the grandstand  I was reminded of an old Wayne Brittain quote from 2002.

Injuries, suspension and the out of form affect a young side like our current one to a far greater extent than a good side.

That's not an excuse just an observation
Today was terrible....and it hardly explains a 100 point loss...

We beat an Essendon side who beat Geelong....but you wouldn't give us much of a chance next week.

Just goes to show form-lines are meaningless and it's more about 'mentally' turning up to play.
For whatever reason we didn't today.
....and that's disturbing for the weeks ahead.

Outmuscled, outpressured, outskilled, outtackled, outrun,outthought,outplayed and I'm sure this list could be added to but I can't be bothered, tonight anyway. 

You can add outcoached too....

Murphy couldn't have possibly been right.Plantar fasciitis is a prick of an injury that takes months or even longer.

Too true. We just had no idea and no answers. Comprehensively and systematically dismantled today.

Mullet, O'Shea, Rowe, Graham, Kerridge and Lamb aren't good enough and never will be, if we're going to be beaten by 100 points it might as well be with a team of kids who might make the grade one day.
Throw Casboult in as well, while he's our key forward we'll always be a laughing stock.
Play the kids and roll the dice, what have we got to lose?
Garlett played a shocker but he's young and hasn't played much football, give him another 20 games and if he's still doing bugger all cut him.
What is it that makes us think that players who aren't good enough at other clubs will morph into AFL standard footballers at Carlton?

I've had that injury myself when I was about Murphy's age, it's very painful but it can clear up very quickly, I went from hobbling to running freely almost overnight.

Murphy couldn't have possibly been right.Plantar fasciitis is a prick of an injury that takes months or even longer. What is wrong with our people bringing back injured players. Kennedy, who's obviously never been right since round 1, Marchbank now Murphy all to struggle because they were far from ready to return. We are run by friggen idiots.

In BB's learning environment I hope he took notes today and learns quickly.
