We are due to play Adelaide before the season ends. This is guaranteed to be another level of shyte that this club will dish up to it's supporters by not only losing, but losing handsomely.
Only the Carlton Football Club can find new ways to embarass their supporters in even greater ways year in year out. It's like, you think that was bad? "Hold my beer..."
Mark this event down in your calendar...
I can't fault your prediction. With hindsight it was inevitable. I've been going regularly to Carlton matches since 1948. I don't think I have ever had so little faith in our future.
Here we are five years into a rebuild which was promised to deliver us a crack at finals by now and where are we? Dragging our backsides in the lower half of the ladder with more problems than you could poke a stick at.
Despite several coaches, many high draft picks and changes in administration, we still manage to serve up a standard of football, year after year, which would embarrass every other club in the competition
Maybe if we could pay our players on performance only things would change rapidly, but that's not going to happen.
We used to be such a proud club - proud of our reputation, based on premierships and performance, and being one of the oldest clubs in the VFL and AFL. Now it seems the club expects supporters to pay for memberships based on empty promises.
I've had enough. I'll watch games next year on tv and wait until the club delivers on its promises before handing over any more money.
