Post Game Passion AFL Rd 10: Carlton vs St Kilda

[Thryleon]

Development hasn't been a strong point.
Glimpses aren't enough because our recent past is filled with players who showed glimpses.

I mentioned in another thread that time isn't our friend.
There comes a point where time runs out.
We can demand they're given more.. but the decision isn't ours.
There are much stronger influences at play than CSC.

There have been times when it's clicked but they need to be more consistent, and they need to result in wins.
That's the only way to buy some more time

I'm not talking glimpses lods.

I'm talking about stuff like the first half vs Hawthorn.  Harry taking contested Mark's and scoring goals (when we remember to kick to him).  Paddy Dow showing a great ability to burst through a pack (gone missing this year).

Previously it was looking for small things and grasping at straws.

Its different now.  There is substance there.  Previously players didn't work out for various reasons.  One of was simply the coaching issues at our club at the time.  Imagine walking into a fractured footy club where half the players weren't really playing for the coach (malthouse) and had allegiances to the previous coach (ratten) and you tied yourself to malthouse only for the club to declare rebuild and season over in round 2.

Menzel left at the end of that season.  I dont blame him.  Our club behaved poorly.
