Carlton Supporters Club

If you have any left over LN, give me a slice please.

I think we deserve equal serves!

I'm still pinching myself. Had no expectation of being in the 8 at this point. It really takes some getting used to when you're optimism gets crushed for a decade or two. We'll have to keep working on our 'winners list craft'

How fabulous to finally be celebrating small successes. It feels surreal that's for sure.

Sometimes when I wake up I check the ladder to make sure I hadn't dreamt it. Does that happen to anyone else?

I don't really know what to expect from here. I do know I'll be ecstatic if we do make finals. It's a real credit to everyone at the club turning this big baby around so quickly. The dark days of MM BB and even the TT seem like ancient history. Quite astounding.

Go Blues.
PS. Happy to graze on humble pie for the rest of the season.

I'm with ya LN, I was talking to a mate the day and we asked ourselves the question, What's changed?
Apart from being 11-5 instead of the usual  5-11, the following sticks out for me:
- We play hard and we are hard to play.
- We play selfless footy instead of selfish. To quote Tina Turner, "We dont need another hero".
- We are in every game, we fight until the end.
- Before this year, I didn't know WTF they were doing on game day and I suspect many of the players didn't either. Now, every player to a man seems to know their role.
- When we are "on", we play scintillating footy and can beat anyone, anytime, anywhere.
- We we do lose, you can see exactly how we strayed from our DNA Game Style. Every other year for me it was "WTF did I just watch?"
- Our talent has come to the fore, we have a group of very talented guys who have now played many years together and they are 100% connected.
- Our whole club is united and aligned, that is more powerful than many realise.
You say you dont know what to expect, if you think about, we should now know exactly what to expect.

Of course, the frustrating thing about this series of observations is that it has been achieved with largely the same personnel we already had.

Lets not forget that we have Ashley Hanson here now.  He is credited with being a bit of a tactical weapon that the Bulldogs appear to be missing sorely.
