Secondly, if you think I am happy after a loss like that, you are sadly mistaken so jogg on and find someone else to harass. Thirdly, if you cant see we were a bees dick from playing finals, you need to get your head out of the sand.

Oh I'm sorry for not gracing you with a reply. Did you think maybe it didn't warrant a reply at the time?

Hmmm, this phantom bees dick you speak of, does it include the lottery numbers for next week? If so, count me in!

I think you and your wishful thinking should be doing the jogging.

This is why I elected to bump this thread.

I understand the sentiment regarding chairing off your mate at the end of the game, however the act of two Carlton players chairing off an opponent after his final match is just one of the reasons we don't win games like this one.

For people who are jumping on me for writing this, could you see roughy, hodge, Mitchell doing this ?

The chairing off by opposition players is probably something folks will have a different opinion about.
Some may like it.
Others, not so much.
Some folks will have very strong opinions.
I personally felt a bit uncomfortable about it.
I understand they're his close friends but they're not his team-mates.

Either two Adelaide players or...
A representative from each club would have been a much more diplomatic move.

It gives the strong impression (and it may be the case) that Carlton was where his heart was at and the friendships at Adelaide never approached that level.

That may be a bit harsh but imagine how you would feel if one of our players was chaired off by two opposition players on his retirement.

It's very much a personal feeling and I've read Crows fans tonight who were quite OK with it.
I guess the only opinion that really matters is Gibbs's

Not slow. Just wanted this post to rub your nose in it ala Tigers need to sack Hardwick and start again...and then they win the flag.

Have you nuked your membership yet?

Did you even buy a membership??

I remember thinking to myself too that maybe we'll give him the win too just to give him one last hurrah. After all its not every day your mate retires.

The fact that Spanner started this thread basically verbalises the awful fact that deep down we all knew that the club would chuck in a shocker this weekend. It's the entrenched culture resulting from twenty plus years of abject mediocrity. We've been the bullied so long, it's ingrained, we just give up. What other club would have rolled over in such an insipid manner and turned the game into a Gibbs benefit game? We were pathetic when we needed to be ruthless...chairing off a former player, a showboating skipper, players refusing to do the basics. You could see we had no intention of winning this game, never switched on. Never manned up, never gave a stuff about standards of performance.
Maybe the club needs a Ross Lyon coach because having a nice culture has created a nice club that continues to play nice... And continues to lose. Dunno, seems to me that only the supporters care anymore. And that really hurts.

This thread started on August 11th, week after week it's the same and wrong more than it is right, yet the week crap eventually happens and the shocker must happen sooner or later, it the sign of an oracle. :o

Eventually it'll be right, like Spike Milligan's headstone! :-\

So he's prescient. He foretold it. Did you bet money we would win yesterday?

Betting generally involves backing a human to do the right thing, and they are all lazy or corrupt at some level, so no I do not bet much and the more human's are involved the less likely I am to bet! Wink

For me this post is more about the Crows than Carlton, everybody was watching the Crows performances and asking WTF while thinking they'll come good eventually. Of course, we are on the end of the Crows resurrection run, not starting it!

So what you're saying is because it happened at one club that surely means it'll happen at every club. Am I reading that right? Really, you're running with that? Puuuurrlease, tell me you have better justification for your stance than "it's the vibe"...
