Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.

Got to stop blaming the coach. In Malthouse's short time at the club he wouldn't have had that much of an impact to stop Yarran having an influence on game day. If Yarran had of stepped up and shown a little bit of character we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I said when Ratten was sacked that after pathetic performances against Port Adelaide and Gold Coast the players had the coaches blood on their hands.
I hate calling footballers "soft", as they play an incredible tough game, but our boys are mentally weak and every time they get labelled as soft I think "here we go!" I can't wait for the response.... waiting.... waiting.... little bit of push and shove against St.Kilda.... still waiting. Nothing.
Here is the scenario with Yarran.
I don't work hard enough.
I am not fit enough.
I don't chase hard enough.
I don't commit myself to the contest.
I put my interest before the team.
I don't respond to a challenge.
It's your fault.
Chris Yarran is epidemic of what's is wrong at Carlton Football Club across the board.
Easier to point the finger at someone else rather than stepping up yourself.
Malthouse is the "turn around" coach, "able to get the best out of players" "if he can't get the best out of under performing player no one can" all statements I've heard from commentators and fans.
You say Yarran is all those things above, hope you're not expecting anything but a 3rd round pick at best, because if Mick is so good at getting the best out players what hope does any other have And if there is one then why didn't we chase him?
