What does Hawthorn "stand for" ? Geelong ? Richmond ? Our club wants to win and has good intentions, but being unable to achieve that consistently does not mean we "stand for nothing."Maclure played in an era when other teams respected Carlton and how we played the game. You were expected to rebound next week and win if you lost... No excuses.
I've never been a Maclure fan. I think he's a moron, just shoots his gob off with zero accountability.
The brand of football wasnt allowed to be the bruise free rubbish we offer up to day.
Losing and being happy with honorable losses was for loser teams like Stkilda and other teams who were our bitches.
Their is no respect for us now, we are a pencilled in possible win for every other team.
We are seen as weak physically and play a passive brand that can embarrass when highlighted. All that is just totally against everything Maclure identifies with a successful Carlton. Sure the game has changed but not to the extent when you give up your identity so easily as a leading club like we have and that would burn Maclure.
