This all started with the Pagan era. I was horrified by what transpired and posted numerous scathing posts by what I had witnessed during his tenure. This is all coming home to roost now.
I was fearful at the time that we would become the new St Kilda and low and behold here we are. I reckon we're a damn site worse! The poundings he allowed to happen to the club ripped the soul out of it. This is not Carlton, this is Pagan's Carlton. It became acceptable to lose and to lose big, something the previous culture of Carlton would never accept.
He spearheaded the tanking, the "high draft picks" will solve all our issues. Who remembers the "give me good players and I'll give you wins" comment? Well the high draft picks gave him good players, but when those players come to a soulless club, this is the result. Those players then pass on that mantra and so it goes perpetually in a never ending vicious circle.
Look at Gibbs, he's left and taken his pox with him to the Crows. His loser aura has followed him. This is no coincidence. Hopefully Murphy and Kreuser do the same come seasons end and we're finally rid of that era's embarrassments. And that's the way those guys should be viewed. Not as treasured high draft choices, but failures by the club to do the right thing and fight out every game and not deliberately lose for the sake of a higher draft position.
This club stinks from boot studder to president and something is not right here. The sh*t they've been dishing up is under 14s level of incompetence. I used to be proud to follow this club, now I see us as a joke.
The first decent thing the club has done in two decades was decline the priority pick. I applauded that action and it shows someone is actually looking in the mirror and wanting the club to put it's house in order. Let's see if they follow through or f*ck it up and take the easy way out if the time comes when they're offered it. Will the cronies at the club have the nads to say no? Or will they man up and do the right thing? I reckon they'll soft c*ck it. Just watch...
