Patrick Smith Blasts Carlton

[Lods]

I was thinking the other day that there must be a dark low place to which a club can descend that it is impossible to recover from under the present AFL rules. In other words, the club becomes completely unviable. I don't know whether we are anywhere near that, Fatprick Smith thinks we are, but surely the AFL would then need to make the call to either turn off the life support or to apply emergency intensive resuscitation? I obviously don't want to see either of those outcomes unless we were a true basket case, and this year will tell us a lot about that come draft and trade time.

I don't think it would ever get to the stage where we disappeared completely....but I've got a bad feeling that it might take us "going to the brink" for Carlton people to wake up and take some action.
