Can't argue with it, but it misses the most obvious flaw in the CFC armour -  a total inability to turn middle-of-the-road draftees into quality players.  And the last minute of the film does offer a glimmer of hope......
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Can someone put up a video from say 1979 to 1999 that talks positively about the club?  I would probably watch that one.

Imagine if someone told you after the 1995 premiership that the next quarter of a century we will become like Fitzroy.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Can't hide behind the past, this is our lot right now. Past a just great memories but not our current position, so we can't hide and pretend it's not there.

There'll be plenty of You Tube from the good ol' days.

Not hiding,  just sick of reminiscing and trawling over the last 20 years.

This thought process has elongated our misery by trying to "fast track" our rise back to where we belong.

Unfortunately, while we are all sick of it, that's where we are, so we are going to keep copping it. Won't change unless things change in the club. Hopefully we have started on that process.

Who produced this crap?   The last twenty years of Essenscum wouldn't be pretty viewing either.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Whoever put that together would be a riot at parties! Talk about a misery guts!

There aren't any of the founding clubs who haven't had a handsome chunk of their history mired in failure. Even our poor 20 years had a few years of finals appearances. Yes, we sunk low, very low.

And as consistently as we justifiably shook our heads in dismay over recent years, we ponied up our memberships, year in, year out - even grew our membership. Says a lot about the loyalty of our supporters. How many other clubs had a shizen period of years and membership dropped way off? Many. Not us.

As we look at our Board and Football Dept. now, there are many changes -- which we screamed for -- giving us real reason to see the club differently and to put a twinkle in the eye of optimism for our future. The real test will be on grass, on paddocks with a bag of air from the 2022 season onward. Bring it on.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Unfortunately, that is our lot at the moment and been that way for 20 years. No hiding from it. It has been that bad and an eye opener when you see it. It hits home. No use criticising anyone for telling the hard truth. Every year this part is optimism time of the year until the reality round 2 check. It's a rotten culture and what has brought down how many coaches now? One of the reasons I wanted to persist with the coach as the issues were elsewhere. Instead we went the easy way that hasn't worked before.

One year it has to change. It did with Richmond after 30 odd similarly rotten years so hopefully it is our turn.

Hope there is one on Essendon just to liven our spirits.....lol.

I can hardly wait for the time when the MCG and Marvel grandstands get ultra-loud with the sound of Blue voices that have been largely silenced for 20 years.  It will be deafening.

Following Carlton as a child and then teenager led to lots of teasing and fights at primary and secondary school.  We were mostly rubbish until George Harris revitalised the club and lured Barassi across.  I only endured about a dozen years of mediocrity back then and, for most of my life, my club was the greatest club of all.

Perhaps that great period of success made us slow to accept the changing footy landscape.  In fact, we probably resisted change and that has had disastrous consequences.  Anyway, that's all behind us now and it's time for the resurgent Bluebaggers to become mighty and stay that way.

Lost me when he started to heavily blame the letting go of senior players, as a major reason for struggling - then mentioned Hendo, and showed Jeffy and Bryce.....
