Re: RD 4 : BLUES Defeated By Demons (Pathetic & Pitiful Post-Match)

Amazing that the same people that were so outspoken about our issues laying with the previous coach are now adamant that it's the players. The hypocrisy is just a little nauseating TBH.
If you're having a crack at me you're wide of the mark PI2C.
I've been on about our woeful recruiting for many years, which has been and remains our number one problem in my opinion, along with a delusional and arrogant culture.
Appointing an untried coach from the second division of the Eastern Suburbs league with virtually no senior experience, on the basis of his being a club champion, was utter madness, I said so at the time and nothing that happened in Ratten's 5 years in charge convinced me otherwise.
He got the gig to appease the supporters, to bring the Carlton back to Carlton, it was insane and the end result of that madness is where we find ourselves now.
But by all means sheet the blame for years of neglect and incompetence home to Malthouse if it eases your pain.
