Carlton Supporters Club

Even though finals may still be a statistical possibility it's a fantasy, and would have a nightmare end should we make it.
Time to play the list...Lemmey's, Camporeales, O'Farrell, give Wilson and Young a few more games.
Not all at once, but over the period.

It'll never be written but the "untold, behind the scenes story" of Carlton's 2025 would be fascinating reading.
I'm convinced there are things going on within the playing/ coaching group that are having dramatic effects on performance.

So it's time for some hard decisions.
But a lot of them are list decisions that can wait a few more weeks.
I'm with Kruds.
This felt a bit like Ratten's last game
But sacking Voss at this stage would only be a 'sacrificial offering' to please the masses.

If any surgeries are needed  prioritise them and get any major ones out of the way so they are ready for the pre-season.
Rest players with the niggly injuries.

It's no good forcing that sort of change on the senior team selection, then claiming results like tonight are the coaches fault.

The hard reality is, most of those names will struggle to play out a single full game let alone two or three in a row, and they'll have little to no AFL impact. I'm not even sure Lemmey could survive a quarter.

I think our new fitness guru is dead-set rubbish, this is the slowest and most physically piss weak we've look for a decade.

I said you don't play them all at once, but at least give them a taste.
There's enough matches left to do that rotating them through.
Give them the exposure.

Get horse in now.

Get wright into his position now. 

dont wait another week.

Put every single player up for trade at seasons end if the right deal is there. We dont need to worry about how that will affect the list as the list is cooked in every way and will never make the grade in the current format

Ive said it countless times massive change needed and it will need to be ruthless in order to have any longterm affect.

all this talk about minor changes and expecting a sizeable change is absolutely fantasy.

Rip the bandaid off now. like others ive lost a lot of interest - stopped my membership
at end of 22. stopped going to any games. and now watch games without enthusiasm expecting nothing.

Then to hear cripps say he is happy with effort. if i wasnt a 40 year plus supporter i would call it quits on this club.

fantasy is expecting lots of changes to yield a good result.

You cant build a team, cohesion and game plan changing everything.  It will leave us in the wilderness for 5 years.  Horse took over from roos.  Continuity of message and brand. We'll hang him in 3 years.

Football 2025 style means a single weak link and you'll concede chains of disposal, you have to be at least competitive on every line just to break even.

Loved Crippa and his interview after the game - I didn’t watch any of the game and won’t which is why I’m not seething with rage 😂

He sounded sick talking.

He seemed to genuinely speaj positively
Of Voss.

Could it be a case of just too many injuries and the side is just so depleted?

How different do the games look with Harry Newman Walsh Smith all Playing? And a fully fit Cripps Doch Cincotta Acres Weiters?

I have always thought our development was poor so we get to the point 10 of our best are injured or playing under duress and we’ve not developed the next lot at all to come in and take some
Of the load.

Don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️
