Thats fine Charlie but what happened in the 3rd quarter when Essendon had control of the game and we couldnt even get the ball for about 5-10 minutes?

Or the terrific kick on the right foot where he beautiful hit up a forward.

To be fair RR (and Im by no means Fisher's greatest backer) he wasn't too bad in the HB role yesterday. I thought he busted his ass and took to a new role quite well. I must commend Power for giving him something different to do. The pass Jim mentions was a good one for a seemingly one sided bloke. We need to celebrate little wins I guess,
The treatment of the boys in the players race after the game by Carlton Supporters (and I use the term loosely) was utterly disgusting. Of course fans are hurting, I reckon the players are hurting just as much and It was abuse that is simply not warranted.

Just saw the footage of that on CH7. Absolutely pathetic. No wonder there are punch-ons between supporters. As bad as the team is travelling that sort of behaviour is unacceptable. What are we filth supporters?

The abuse was embarrassing to hear. As bad as the team is going the sort of vitriol hurled at them by these apparent “supporters “ was not on. A few dickheads have shamed us all as it was presented that they represented the fan base. While I wish they were travelling a lot better the hysterical swearing abuse doesn’t help but these guys yelling where typical heroes from 30 feet away but I’m sure gutless fan boys up close

A sad day to be a Carlton Player (being on the end of that) and Carlton Member today after seeing it.

Dont want to sound like a smart ass or be disrespectful but they sounded like Carlton Supporters and didn't sound like they fitted in the MCC demographic.

A lot of neutrals/casual fans go to night games in the MCC to get on the piss. I went to a Stkilda Melbourne game in the MCC about 15 years ago with a whole heap of work mates and one guy brought a mate who was a Tiger fan and a flog. He spent the whole night just ripping Melbourne to get on the nerves of most of the fans around there.  Then he ripped the team after they came off the ground, the dude just wanted trouble.

I dont approve of it, but I had a bit of a think about what we've done since 2012, and this season feels very much like 2012 again.

Fans have put up with a lot since then. 

I've processed my recent feelings, and whilst we like to say the sanctions etc have caused our current woes, I'm most angry at the fact that currently we are largely self inflicted with decisions made over the last 10 years landing us here and given our track record, more likely to self inflict further and prolong our issues and subsequent plight.

The players look like they're just going and fans are going to take out their frustration on them.  Ive been waiting weeks for an on field response and haven't seen what im after yet.

The booing as players exit the ground is disgraceful. As adults we should have the capacity to manage strong emotions, particularly in public.

I just saw footage on 7 news. It showed a group of blokes fighting. The report was about "Carlton fans turning on each other" Evidently the fight was at the end of the game and is being investigated by Police.

Seriously.
I'm embarrassed to be a supporter atm😳

I know mate but I'll guess with 99% surety they we Blues fans. I'd guess if they were neutrals, they would have got more of a reaction from the players and the official walking with the players. Also, I'd imagine if they were neutrals, it will come out somewhere. In any case, abhorrent behaviour from footy fans.
