Carlton Supporters Club

I guess the Martin to Full Forward was his signature move but now he has Caddy down there he doesnt do it as often....

And it took a skilful coach to work that one out, would Dusty to anywhere be a tactical winner!

Did Ratten get credit for sending Judd anywhere on the field?

Our current problems are much much bigger, and while some answers might be obvious they are clearly much harder to implement!

But I worry when Leigh Matthews implies we are a rabble that cannot even do the basics like handball or kick!

When we recruited them, the recent ones, there was a focus on having those skills. What happens when they get to Carlton?

I think many of us get that B4L, but it doesn't explain the lack of passion or sacrifice we see on the field, or the lack of structure!

There are simply too many hacks and B graders on our list, it's the weakest Carlton team I've ever seen.

But BB and SOS have been in charge of a massive rebuild that turned over more the 40 players?

But they were coming from miles back, our recruiting over the past 15 years has been absolutely woeful and by far the worst in the AFL.
How did that Hughes peanut keep his job for so long with his record?
That alone tells you that something was very wrong at the CFC.

What happened to this most wondrous coaching appointment panel, that was supposed to get us the right candidate ? The first time in history we did things the right way ?

Mind you, I'd like to see Bolton get a block of matches coaching our best 22, to see how he goes. He's really having to choose some ordinary footballers at the moment - in fact, most of the season.

Anyone wanting to see the coach's post match presser the current link on the clubs site is wrong, of course.

BB was blaming the defence, but the defence don't make extra numbers at both ends of the ground.

Fans should go back and watch the replay to find out just how much bullsh1t that really is. You'll see repeat after repeat, over and over again, of 4 or 5 Lions players up against or 2 and 3 Blues players at both ends of the ground!

There are moments in the game when Charlie loses a contest against 2 or 3 deep in our F50, the Lions take the ball coast to coast in a chain in just seconds, and you see Jones or Weitering isolated against 3 or 4 Lions in or around our D50! It happened on multiple occasions, two of them even made the AFL's highlights!

If BB believes what he is saying then he is probably not the man for the job. If it's spin he should be better than that, it's not like he's keeping a top secret from the opposition!

Watch the highlights of some of the Lions coast to coast goals, look in the background behind the ball carrier and count the number of Carlton players trailing behind. Even when Rowe, Weitering or Jones manage to make a spoil or hold up the Lions there is no Carlton player in sight to help! Over and over again!

Who has an issue with that other than yourself.

We have a list full of talent that is under performing.

Individuals not giving their best in a system that doesn't allow them to. We consistently set up in the wrong places around the ground, repeatedly watch the opposition exploit the same defensive failings in our tactics, move the ball slowly rather than take the game or run together in offence and fail to offer anything resembling pressure around the ground.

The zone defence doesn't work and we keep making baffling player selections. We all see it, the commentators see it and it appears that the players know it. The only people not seeing it are the match committe, Bolton and the coaching panel.

Rather than clear out the list (again) and try the same deficient coaches with a new group I'd rather see the same players given a new game plan, coaching group and development plan (and maybe medical support so they aren't playing injured)
