Docherty standing down

Geez, I think a few are jumping off the bandwagon a little early.....

In the darkest of times, Crippa was our one shining light, and I think we owe him.

In reality, we don't owe him anything.

Did we owe Marc Murphy to get him to 300 at the expense of playing others, and potentially wins.
Did we owe Kreuzer....simpson....etc etc

There is always someone we will 'owe'. These players get paid, well, and if there time is up, its up. We don't owe them anymore than that.

What the club does owe....is the fans! We are owed some success much more than any individual player.

One final point - if moving Crippa on is about making a smart business, decision, then I wouldn't trust the Carlton brains trust to make the right call!

I don't trust the club to make the right call either. IMO, they are thinking the same way as you, that we 'owe' the players.

No, the club owes the fans some success.
No one player is above the club.
No one player is owed anything more than the fans.

The club owes the fans some hard calls, and stop taking the easy options.
