2017 Rd 9: Post Game Patter: Carlton vs Fremantle

[sandsmere]

Entitled to your opinion but just remember one thing, 31 games into a total rebuild. We were a rudderless shambles of a club. We are now showing we can be competitive and when it goes well, we can match it with anyone. Problem is, we are still growing and need to get maturity into the newbies so they can sustain effort for longer periods. Curnow played game number 12 or something? We have seen glimpses of what he can do. If he is doing what he is now in 2-3 years time still, fine, have a crack. Its a slow process, piece by piece, be patient, there are clubs in alot worse of a state than us.

You've nailed it Cic.

People seem to forget about the rebuild.

Forget the umpires, it was our blokes not being good enough today that  were responsible for the flogging.

It is all part of what we have to go through climbing the ladder.. we'll get plenty more results like this in the next 2-3 years.

It's good to get games into the young blokes, but don't expect them to get great results for a while yet.

The improvement is showing, but it is going to be a long, slow process.

Finals around 2020 would be a good result.
