Carlton Supporters Club

Sorry Brettie, I was in the Olympic stand on level 4, and although that was one thing that could have given us the momentum, it wasnt the only "momentum swinger".  Rowe kicked blindly out of defense to our side on the wing prior to their first goal, and hit nothing but 3 Collingwood players and not a Carlton player in sight only a moment later, and sure enough on the Pies next forward entry, they scored.

A big call, I know, but I blame Daisy for the loss – let me explain:..............

That's what happens when the whole side is instructed to flood the defensive 50. Same thing happened to Jamo twice in the first quarter as well. Streaming out of defence and not a soul to kick to. Came straight back over his head with interest both times. Malthouse went out there to not lose by 100 points. He must inspire so much confidence in the group with his methods.

A big call, I know, but I blame Daisy for the loss – let me explain:

Robbo kicks the first goal from a ripping grab....our 2nd shot at goal of the game not long after & Daisy lines up for what should’ve been a soda after a deserved free kick. It’s every Pies supporter’s nightmare seeing one of their once favourite sons lining up for goal in Navy Blue. The Pies fans predictably boo their lungs out, I look around me & in response, we in the Carlton members seating area (lower level of the GSS, with Daisy right in front of us) begin a counter-cheer to their boos, standing & clapping as Daisy lines up.....it was an awesome moment right there.

Kick the goal at that moment & can you imagine the lift in everything Navy Blue. Daisy would’ve felt a huge load off his shoulders from all the anticipation of this game, his teammates would’ve come from everywhere to joyously mob the hell out of him & the Carlton crowd would’ve gone boonta, as the Pies worst nightmare came true just minutes into the game.

From that point on, I seriously reckon the game would’ve taken a completely different path, with our blokes having a completely different mindset. But instead what we got, was a morale-sapping shanked shinning (yet again), that left the Pies supporters in raptures, his ex-teammates vengefully jubilant, the Carlton crowd thoroughly embarrassed & his teammates deflated.

For mine, it was the major turning point of the game & it was only a few minutes old.

Nah mate.  THE Problem (not part the entire) is that we sit there making excuses for players that wont do whats required.

My problem isn't what transpired, it's the fact it took malthouse all of three quarters to react. Last quarter we have players forward and hey presto! 8 goals. Would you believe it. And then he has the nerve to blame the players. Sorry but he loses me more and more how he does this. What happened to 'don't blame the players blame me'? Oh yeah, that's when he wanted brownie points. The guy spks sht, no doubt about it.
