the collins / kernahan era really set us back.
The former was a bees dk from destroying the club permanently, the latter never really grasped the ongoing cycles of development and retention. His five year blue print to 2 premierships didn't even yield 1 top 4 finish , which is a testament to this failure. This malthouse idolator, rolled the clubs dice much the same way elliot rolled it in his time.
We have lost one player on a minor indiscretion, another cause we felt 50k pa increase was too much, another who is an all Australian ruckman, another who's a premiership player. etc. The Remanence of a failed era currently still haunts us in other clubs stocks.
17 years, false dawns, false prophets, some joy, mostly pain and we're here today, a bunch of kids, some potential stars, lots of duds in a full blown start of a length rebuild with no guarantees.
I like bolts, he's a critical thinker, steady hand and he knows how long and hard this will be, the media seem to lay off him and the group, but a club starved of any success will loose commercial viability, thus resulting in a do something mentality (rinse repeat) and thus becomes the conundrum that is Carlton that will make collingwoods past flag droughts reasonable
