Prefer if we had Charlie Blue eating raw meat. Facts on the ground is we don't win games with "respect" at the forefront of players minds and it has to be replaced by "ruthless" ASAP.
Whether or not social issues have a place in sport is a separate issue.
Perhaps we should have a Carlton Caveman day, or get Bettina Arndt to organise a Carlton #mentoo day ? I guess we could say that we lost the Adelaide game because our team of "choirboys" was so enamoured with the city of Churches that they forgot to train and spent the time praying instead ? This sort of thinking belongs in the realm of astrology, like saying we lost because there was an Aquarius moon in a Taurus rising.
You, me and everyone else on here have no idea what was on the players minds. Fact is we lost the game the same way we lose all games - in general not playing 4 quarters and sloppy ball use.
