What a ridiculous comment. We as a club have been accepting of that type of effort for almost 2 decades. The club has lost it's soul and is devoid of any meaning other than to be the percentage booster for all other clubs.
We're a joke and until we dismantle the boys club that it is, it will remain so.
The sh*tness this club exudes on a yearly basis knows no bounds. I don't even get mad watching the shyte that they dish out on weekly basis anymore. I've literally become desensitised to it and simply watch in amusement at how bad we are as a club in virtually every aspect of football. The fact that after almost 2 decades we can't:
- Find a player who can hit a target and by that I mean by hand or by foot. You're not talking about late draft picks either. We have had arguably more high draft picks than any other club in the history of the AFL including GWS and GC, yet can't draft someone with any semblance of skills is mind boggling. By my count this is now 4 different list managers! Who the f*ck is employing these guys? Do they even know what skills to look for?
- Tackle
- Kick at goal accurately
- Work a simple zone
- Implement a decernable game plan
- Develop any leadership
Jesus, when you see what Dew has done with the Gold Coast, Geelong revamping their list with hardly any high draft picks and Port Adelaide injecting a shitload of talent in one off season and that talent showing something in it's first year really shows you the level of ineptness that Carlton has displayed over the past 2 decades.
This constant tripe about wait until the list matures is total shyte as well. We waited until Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer and a myriad of other first round picks matured and here we are. Left with a host of list cloggers and a club devoid of any talent.
I'm sick hearing "this time is different". No it's not, it's history repeating itself.
The only decent talent we do have is Cripps, Walsh and perhaps McKay. The rest is just meh to be honest. Turn over merchants by the bucket full and so easily bullied and so meek it's frightening to think these guys think they belong on a football field. Worse still, are those who drafted them initially but that's a whole new level of crappness to be discussed on another day.
Poor Cripps and Judd before him. The load these blokes have had to bear is bordering on criminal.
Drugs are bad, mmmkay...
