Carlton Supporters Club

Cornes the media whore has started operation "undermine Carlton" already AFAIC.

Successful ones like the Port, Cheats and Norf who are 2-0

Coz he knows we will chase Wines

I wasn't talking successful clubs in terms of recent history.
The early successful clubs in this bastardised 2020 season will be the ones that get their act together quickest.after the resumption.
Few if any seasons have had such a disruption after the season has commenced.
The uncertainty of the timing of the recommencement would also have impacted on the players.

Last weekend was virtually a new start to the year.
How individual players will have coped with the problems of isolation will vary dramatically.
Some will hit the ground without missing a beat and that will go for some teams as well.
Other will take a few weeks to hit their stride.

Sorry Lods, you see it as a new start to the season, I see it as the repeat fark up 86 days after the previous one that it is. I simply cant see it any other way and I am livid.

Have to agree. Sleeping on the job for the first quarter and falling too far behind to really have any chance against a team no better than us really. Repeating pattern and last game was a very BAD example, so how far have we come?? The next game will be absolutely critical as, if we do the same thing, we will be blown away for the rest of the year with a confidence shattering annihilation.

How far have we come? In my eyes not very. Same rubbish but different. It was like Teague was going to sprinkle his magic dust on the players and all would be solved. As has been pointed out, his record vs his predecessors is scarily similar, skills havent improved, young players havent really developed, they continue to play rejects from other clubs. Im effin sick of it. I dont see anything different being tried, just the same stuff over and over again hoping for a different result. Its madness.

You guys may very well turn out to be right.
The next 3 or 4 weeks will tell the story.
I just tried to imagine the effect the stutter start would have had....and it would be different for everyone.
One of the most cliché comments we tend to hear is "They're all professional footballers. They should tough it out."
But there's a world of difference between a  mature 30 year old and an 18 year old recruit.
The mental durability varies greatly from player to player.
As we've also seen in recent times mental health issues can affect footballers in much the same way as they do the general population.
So this season is different from any other.
A month or two back and the players would have had little idea whether or not the season would even recommence.
They would have been training in isolation and the input and contact from the club would have been seriously limited compared to normal.
So in effect they've had 6-8 weeks of uncertainty compared to a normal pre-season of structured progressive training. I reckon that's got to impact, and clubs and players will handle that differently.... and because of that I reckon it will take a few weeks to determine where we really sit.

Rather merciless comments from some quarters, but that's OK.  I just don't wanna be on the Lyon / Voss / Scott / who's next carousel anymore after the incumbent has had no time no fly  in what is a completely pointless season.  And here was me thinking I was a ruthless so and so.

I know where I'd start with pruning useless coaches.  Teague ain't one of them .... yet
