Carlton Supporters Club

Comments were more in reference to the fact that every time Murphy puts in a shocker he has an excuse ie injured, hard tag, sore ankle, teammates not sticking up for him etc. etc. we've heard it all before. Yazz just cops it, not necessarily from you, but in general. So Yazz is an example.

Sorry, in my opinion, Murphy is not fit, and shouldnt be playing.  I decided this whilst watching him "run" against Freo.

There is more than one reason why he had such a bad game, and Crowley is only part of the equation.  When a player like Murphy is limping around the field for more than half the game, there is a problem.  I suspect it has been one for him since before we played Port Adelaide too.

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?

Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs, even Jamo and Special K are what is wrong with Carlton - all 100 game + now ...... they are the guys who should be leading from the front, standing up when the game gets tight.......

3 number 1 draft picks.

You could throw 1AW in there too...... and McLean.

In general, ALL OF THEM fail to do that way when needed too often.

Are they being used incorrectly, are they just not hungry enough (or what)?

If those guys lead by example, younger guys like Yarran will most likely follow suit.

Yarran is an easy target.

The problem is much bigger than him.

ps Shakin, you would have no idea how fit Yarran is, he looks a heck of a lot fitter/agile/quicker than Gibbs or Murphy right now?

For too long Carlton Football club has been about individuals.

Yarran is talented, and its a testament to why he has to go if he is going to just "go through the motions" if he indeed wants out.

I want 22 soldiers who despise losing to the point where they will play well in spite of what is going on rather than will play poorly to spite their current coach knowing they have one foot out the door.

There is something definately wrong with Murphy, that contest was sad to watch

Atleast Yarran is trying more than i can about the other 2. 

What a pathetic excuse we have as a captain.

9 touches
