Today's result had little if anything to do with who was available. It was all to do with a lack of effort, a lack of heart and a bunch of entitled 20 something year old kids who have been given everything and aren't prepared to try their guts' out for a win.
There were maybe 3 or 4 blokes wearing navy who should have walked off the field in that guernsey.. The rest should have left it in the centre square.
I am disgusted by the ream. I proudly support the Carlton football club, but at the moment there is no pride in watching a team that in my opinion don't represent the club. There is no effort. Even the second best player in the side in P Cripps, touted as captain material can't show enough decency to run both ways on the field... He is one of about 16 or 18 out there today.
I was onboard with this Bolton rebuild/reset idea, but if can't even instill enough in these boys to make them want to play with pride then he isn't the right person to be leading a side full of young men learning the game.
You can see whatever you like. There is a losing culture that is entrenched in our club, and with a few breaks in between, has been continuously entrenched for nearly 20 years. It's very difficult for kids to come in and try and turn that around.
The problem is bigger than the players. We have seen very similar efforts with Pagan, Malthouse, Barker, Brittain and Bolton. Different coaches, different players, different eras, but the song remains the same. Why do you think that is ? Sacking a coach every few years and bringing a truckload of new players every few years does not appear to be working in my book. Why do you think that different players and different coaches produce the same result ?
