It’s not so much the losing that bothers me it how far off we STILL look from being a decent team - we seriously play like a bottom tier team. Game plan is under 11s standard and foot skills are just woeful.
I had so much belief at the start of this year really thought we would comfortably play finals and do some serious damage in there.
This club is a laughing stock and to be perfectly honest I don’t even know how to begin to fix it.
Sounds crazy but won’t be long before we say this rebuild is running out of time as it usually takes several years of making finals before you may snare one.
The fact this group hasn’t played one final is amazing for all the wrong reasons. And year 8 is going to be another one with us sitting in the bottom half of the ladder.
Do we face reality and do the Honorable thing by players like Patrick Cripps? Do we offer to help them get to a club that could potentially win a premiership and know that we are going to take several more years to even compete against the best teams? Is that just admitting defeat, or finally accepting reality?
Patrick Cripps may never play in a premiership at Carlton. At this rate, he may only get a small taste of finals before his career ends. What about Sam Docherty? Same boat?
