Carlton Supporters Club

Im not glad at all. We had the player we now desperately and let him walk out the door.    Swap jones with Young last week and we likely win. Massive c0ckup.

Geelong and Richmond to name a few both have/had players on there list charged with a serious crime but they do what is best for there team and supporters and work around the situation until the know the result.

We play judge and jury and lose a player we couldn't afford to lose but on the flip side we are expected to full support a player with a drug and say we all need to support them and wrap our arms around them.

Double standards.

Comparing supporting someone with an addiction, let's say, and someone who refuses to be vaccinated based on a conspiracy theory is like comparing a bicycle with a fish (thank you Irina Dunn and/or Gloria Steinham).

And suggesting we would have been better off last night with Jones instead of Young... holy mackerel... maybe if we had Doull instead of Jones, or Southby, or SOS or... Drawing on a really long bow there, Shawny, maybe a bow a few kilometres long!

Last night as far as I can tell, our main blunders can forward of centre, maybe I'm biased but we had the Dogs wide open multiple times and gave the pill back from near or inside the F50 arc and it hurts us on the rebound.

Fans would be complaining about Jones and Kennedy, but the bloke we needed last night was Owies.

Most of Jones opportunities last night can from horrendous ball use decisions, bombing the ball high and long from the wing or HFF deep into pockets or to CHB for example.

Doull southby etc is being silly baggers. we had L jones and we let him go to the opposition and now we are complain about having no second tall. If you want to accept the clubs decision to let him go thats fine but i don’t. I am desperate for success and Jones would have been a massive upgrade on what we have.

Yeah, he definitely would have been the difference. Give it a rest. He's basically producing what Motlop has.

Owies is not a match winner, but he is a finisher and good ball user if you can generate enough opportunities, he won't get that at Wet Toast they are rebuilding.

I suggest you watch the replay and look for blokes hang back off the footy in the last 4 or 5 minutes, when we had to get the footy and score to win, there were a few blokes watching.

Fans cook a player like Hollands for mistakes but at least he was attacking the ball, and making a contest, the ones you want to have a problem with are those hanging back off the contest waiting to receive, they didn't make a mistake because they didn't make an attempt!

The jab status going into public domain is the issue.  It is and should be none of our business and people should have been allowed to make their own decisions regarding it.

Same should apply to everyone everywhere.  What someone else did had no bearing on my decision to get jabbed and vice versa.   This rigidness dot points our pandemic response issues.

My point is, why pine for someone we don't have and won't get... serves no useful purpose.

Remember, Jones made the decision he did (his right) and knew the risks/potential outcomes of such a decision.

I think it's time to let that situation go. Pointless, and will actually change zero. Perhaps more productive to reflect on 45 or so blokes we have and who might join us in the future?

Yea, throwing away Kennedy was, and still is, a poor decision.  Such a handy, team oriented footballer.

Anyhow watching the hawks GWS game and my gosh i hate the Hawks. Cant stand em

I dont like them either but by golly can they play.

I dont have the answers but watching and playing for this club is hard work at the minute.  Maybe it's just as simple as things are challenging at the moment, and when you're not enjoying your footy the results are what we see.  Truthfully I can't think of a player that didn't try, we just executed really poorly when the game was there to be won.
