Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 7: Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[cookie2]

On a rather separate note, paulp you need to move on from 2012.  Whats done is done.  Ditto Bolton.  Whats done is done.

The club is not the same any more.  Yes the two incidents make you think nothing is changed, but the answer is that to truly move on we need to accept them for what they were.

Plausibly correct decisions at the time.  Carlton isn't the villain and the coaches the hero of the piece.

Think of both of them as relationships that went sour.  Why they did is irrelevant.  Sometimes people making the choice that something else is something better do so because they're unhappy with what they have.

Look past the decisions to move them on.  It happened for more than one reason we just don't know them all.

Agree. Sometimes the urgency or commercial reality of a situation requires a judgement call to be made, there simply is not time to do a full 100% 360deg analysis. OK not ideal but all that can be done in what is perceived as the circumstances at the time. If you get the judgement wrong the best thing you can do is to try and learn from it and move forward with your energies mainly focused on getting it right for the future. Admittedly we have not shown ourselves to be that good in these areas, especially learning from the past errors, in fact our club seems to have been run by slow learners for far too long. Let’s hope this is changing, for the sake of our collective sanity.
