Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Worst Leaders in the AFL!
Really we should have had the balls to trade away every one of those first picks, might have landed a good footballer with some nous, instead of those generational down hill skiers....
I'd trade Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuser, Henderson and Menzal and start again. But they wont, so we will have another decade in the wilderness.

The Sports Desk / Re: Amazing end to Packers v Seahawks
Been a Philly fan since the '70s, lot of angst and heart ache, but that comeback in context rivaled ours of 1970. One of the best games I've seen in a long time, what about the fake Touch down by the punter......

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 7 : BLUES VS PIES (Match Day Mayhem)
It does smell like rounds 1 to 4, but there is a second half, they haven't put us away yet, Naif would know this, 6 goals is nothing these days, ten minutes of footy, and games can change very quickly. That said I don't think tonight is that night hope it is though. Walker forward, Menzel on, Henderson back for Rowe, Buckly and Docerty to the midfield, Robbo to iron out Pendles, Thomas at full forward...

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: R2 : Blues V Tigers (Venting & Vitriol)
Thomas is getting better, Murphy gives everything, Simmo you know what we have, Henderson if he can stay settled is a match winner.
Gibbs I just don't know whats going on, Robinson is a butcher, Warnock why? we had Sam Jacobs ffs, Waite wtf?, Eddie, surely on the last two weeks we pay him his dues, Yarren is a forward almost won the game, Ellard is limited, Rowe is a spud, and White, and Brock (and sook) and Robbo, and Bell, and Lucas, and Warnock......
But most of all it was the misuse of the footy that infuriated me. From the get go, at least six direct turnovers in the first quarter set the tenant of the game tonight. Carlton definitely lost it, they did not win it!!!!!

At least the employees had a dip in the second half memo to HR, Buckley to play entire season (there is the heart of this club), and the entire skills management team to be sacked on the spot. Seven shots at goal within the 50m and all missed, don't mention Garlett I have a Parko-esque vein throbbing still. Disgraceful even for this bunch of mercenaries.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: R1 Carlton vs Power After-match Aftermath
Cheers but actually don't give a flying F%@# at what the vocal minority think (you're excluded of course), expect the same old experts to come on and preach the same old bs about patience and game plans, I only care about ethos and spirit. Lets face it the game plan at Lone Pine stunk, but the courage under fire will live for eternity, I only want 0.1% of that demonstrated in a navy blue jumper at any given opportunity. But I now know that the likes of Gibbs and Kreuser will never be that individual, and that hurts.

The days of the draft changed everything, the most important person at any club is who makes the call at the draft. For years we lived by Elliot's embarrassing ''we don't rebuild at Carlton'' mantra, more like doctrine! We have suffered. We employed an imbecile called Wayne Hughes who has destroyed any possible chance our team had to build something, through shear ignorance he picked the bleeding obvious and demonstrated zero imagination or foresight to the next tier. Think  any late first rounders or second round picks in the last decade. He was lucky with the odd late pick, although Robison now looks every inch a 40 choice, and the occasional rookie .
We now fester in the Hughes created mire.
Trade 'em all.
Complete list restructure. No one is untouchable.
To do this we must recruit one man only, SOS must come home. Look at what he has created in GWS, it is his team. Now is the time to bring him back and rebuild this team from scratch. Trade everyone with any currency, give the team five years, gut this list.
I'd keep only Henderson, Simpson, Murphy, Tuohy, Curnow, Thomas(contractually) and Cripps.
Everyone else is either for trade or delisting. This would be at least a three year program to turn them all over, trade in some experience short term topped up with aggressive trading into the top ten over the three years. Start by offering the likes of Cameron, Patton or Boyd massive contracts, one should be able to be prised out, especially with SOS around.
Seriously this list is f&%#Ed its now or never, probably should have started last year and avoided Daisy et al.
I haven't completely dumped them yet, but they will loose a 40 year supporter if they don't get off their asses and commit to change everything, for us, the heart and soul of this once glorious club.

Cant believe the complete lack of spirit this mob display, this goes back to Pagen, we've never recovered, instead of hating and hurting, this lot shrug their shoulders and accept another paycheque. I am seriously considering giving this lot away, and I've been a true blue since 1970. This hurts me, I don't think anyone out there tonight gives a toss. :-\

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 22 : Blues Choke Against Injectors (Anti-Losing Rage)
I remember both Aka and Ted Richards clearly stating that CFC was definitely not a destination. That was six years ago. Juddy was meant to have changed that perception. Clearly he didn't.
Remember when we used to be everybody's preferred choice of a flag in the twilight, Evans, Clarke, Wells, Williams...
Difference is that this lot of professionals, are in fact imposters, those older blokes were part time footballers, not the fancy, state of the art trained athletes parading in navy blue. More like the Parkville Blues, all booky and soft, not the blue collar hard arses from days gone by.
Anyway, why are we so despondent, Cam Mooney said we'd be crape, would take us a season to get to know the coach, and him one to judge the list. Tosser was right, maybe has a better perception of footy reality than any of us, would that really surprise anyone, how many premiership players do we really have on this site????
Yes last night was disappointing, I hate the scum more than anyone else, filth included. The text's haven't stopped all day. But am willing to give Mick his time, he has the score on the board. So deep breaths, clean out the dead wood once and for all, and reboot.
