Carlton Supporters Club

C'mon Lods, it's an incentive to keep living!

The boys were just very happy with themselves after last week. And it showed!! They showed what they should have done all day in the last quarter. Bloody disgraceful and disrespectful of the members and coaching staff.

. Blues end season on a low
It certainly wasn't the way Carlton wanted to end the year. After winning just four games last season and claiming the wooden spoon, the Blues have been rejuvenated in 2016 under the tutelage of Brendon Bolton. Defensively Carlton has been much improved, with the Blues only conceding 100 points on six occasions prior to Saturday. But against the Bombers they were poor. They stepped up their intensity in the final quarter, kicking four goals to one but it was too little, too late. The Blues finished the year with seven wins, a big improvement, but there were far too many passengers against Essendon. At three-quarter time there were 12 Blues with 10 touches or less, including Dale Thomas in his 200th game.

Succinct and on the money. Oh and with that many passengers, no team will win. That phenomenon certainly begs to be what is learned from this game. Fix that and.....  well, we'll see.

Seriously - how bad is Daisy Thomas!?!?!? If he decides to honour his contract by playing on next year, he's a selfish pr!ck......Pies supporters are pi$$ing themselves. Arguably the most useless bloke out there today - what the hell is his role? Does he have an opponent? Opposition teams don't even bother putting any work into him....why would they?

And not understanding the love for Dylan Buckley either.....plays the occasional good game (and the word 'occasional' is being generous), another with no football brain, no feel for the game, is a deer caught in headlights with the ball in his hands & is generally a poor user of the ball.....what's the point of having a bloke like that in your team? Where's the benefit? He's been in the system long enough to show that he's not up to it....and he ain't.

Thomas should be tapped on the shoulder next week.

As for Buckley, there are heaps of others ahead of him on the axe list so let him stay for next season. If we could suitably replace 18-20 players in one off-season then they should be more ruthless than ever seen.

Just on Buckley....Yep, he has his limitations... but is he a better player and contributor than he was last year?
