What I can't cop is a side with so many top picks that displays mental and/or physical fragility week in week out. We never know who is going to turn up at any given match.
We have not had one match where the majority of players have given their best for the whole game.
It's like Groundhog Day. Go back to match review threads of six years or more, before the rebuild, and the complaints then were the same as now.
We supporters deserve better. Carlton this century reminds me of Melbourne in the last 45 years of last century:
promised the Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow but always just out of reach.
Until we recruit a few players in the mid-field such as Mitch Robinson who will play with aggression all day and not take a backward step, we will continue to be pushed around and anchored to the bottom of the ladder.
Even after last weeks game where they were saying this will add to their belief that they can - just get the fck in with it - why can’t we have ruthless hard arsed competitors?
