A Readers Digest version of the Carlton Supporters Club. Nothing new, nothing useful. Just regurgitating what the fans want to hear.
What the hell are we supposed to make of trash like this :
"Because as much as this club breaks our hearts, we love it and that’s why we get so angry at times and lash out."
Exactly the same argument used by wife abusers.
Rubbish journalism.

The reality is the next three weeks are going to be crucial for the team and his career and I just dont see him messing with too many kids or cute positional changes unless ordered to....
It just might save his career to make some changes!

No they haven't unfortunately. No 'feel' for the game and a lack of footy nous and imagination IMO.

I'm not sure Teague can be saved by his own actions, I have strong suspicions our problems run deeper and the culprits(maybe too strong) those contributing to the problem are escaping scrutiny.

would be pushing your luck introducing too many young kids.

I could not agree more with Ross and others in this segment... especially re Newnes.

This is an MC issue, and it's a player development issue, in my opinion it's very ordinary team and list management, and it sort of exposes what the coaching staff think about the kids they've picked up.

Disagree on Newnes.
Lob should take his position. Lob was given the chance to take his position and failed. He was given game time in the preseason and in the regular season and TBH I didn't even see enough to keep him on the list beyond this year. He isn't even playing well in the 2s.
So Newnes gets the gig because nobody is deserving of it otherwise.
If/when we start getting some more younger kids fit and in form then we might see philp, honey, Ramsay, Carroll and whoever else earning a gig....then we might send Newnes to the 2s....but until then, he continues to deliver an afl standard performance every week and deserves his spot.

been fairly consistent. Has played mainly on the wing but was used down back last week as well and thats probably a reflection on others not doing their job. Sad part of it he is regarded by the playing group as one of the more more physical players on the list and valued for that...if Newnes is seen as more physical then it doesnt say much for the rest of the group.
Spotlight shouldnt be on a cheap delisted free agent who is there to be an accessory holding up an end,it should be on some of the key players on big money not doing their job and some of these highly rated kids with plenty of hype surrounding them but little substance at this stage.
Obrien and Cuningham have done sweet FA for the last 24 months and Dow and SPS havent been much better.
You can probably add Williamson in that group too although I have cut him some slack given his injuries..
Murphy and Betts are being carried and we have focus on Newnes who has least contributed?

It’s all so obvious
Our MC must hear the fans, watch the news, but then almost inexplicably, they then deliberately heap more pressure on their already tenuous positions by thumbing their nose at the mob and sticking fat with Murphy Betts and Newnes. Keep doing it and they all deserve to go!
