Carlton Supporters Club

Looked like Weitering was giving a pep talk in the huddle on the ground after the final siren.

So last week people start calling for Boltons head because, despite more scoring shots than the opposition, we lose.
This week people continue to call for his head because we were leading the game for 80+ minutes and lost it in the last 30 seconds.

These are the same people that want to see effort and improvement.
The same people that point to our % as a measure of performance.

So many simple decisions and non-decisions that could have worked for us, but ultimately worked against us, cost us the game.....and Bolton cops all the flack.

I've just read 9 pages of this and not a single person has questioned murphys dribble kick into the goal square (with players in the square) with only seconds left on the clock, and ball 30m out from goal.

Why would you not kick it UP at goal FFS! That is a 250+ game player who did that off his own bat, and no amount of coaching from Bolton or anyone else would've changed that instinct from Murph in that moment.

I know emotions are high at the moment, but f*** me i can't stand reading these pages at present. This kind of blind hatred is going to get Bolton sacked, and set the club back years again. Then 5-10 years from now we'll start pining for Bolts to come back in the same way we are doing for Ratts now.

Cmon people. WE are the problem as much as anything that happens on match day. We put the pressure on the club powerbrokers along with the media that ultimately lead us to make emotive decisions, that end up setting the club back.

Murphy and Simpson need to go now.

Other than Kreuzer and Jack very few are pressing their case for selection, so there's not much that we can do.
'
changes this week
Omitted - Lobbe, Ed Curnow (tries hard but disposal and decison making is so bad that he's costing us 4-5 goals a game)
In - Kreuzer, Silvagni

positional changes to consider
- Murphy, Silvagni Forward
- O'Brien Half Back
- Gibbons, C Curnow into the midfield
- Kreuzer and Cas to share ruck

I've also read every page and comment and there was no 'blind hatred' to be seen. Disappointment, hurt, confusion, annoyance, disillusionment and doubt... yes ...hatred? Nuh. I suspect you're been excessive for effect and to attempt to garner support for your perspective.

Folks are only commenting on what they see. BB may be well liked, but is he respected? Does he really know what he is doing? We just don't know so we look at the evidence (no promises & cliches). And the facts. And they're damning. Further decline.

lets say we did that now. who replaces them this week?

People laughed at my post a while back when I said Weitering should be our captain long term, yet I stand by that because long term he is our version of Tom Harley.

If Weitering was captain his efforts to get lose within range of goal would be respected!

Cripps game and the game of players around him won't change, captain or not!

Cripps was the easy and obvious pick, but was he the smart pick?

It doesn't matter. You and I can play and the result is the same as it has been every week for the last 2 years.

Time to play all the kids.

How many Carlton players other than Cripps would make Collingwood's team? Once you've answered that, you'll see BB's problem
