I know you have a savage hate for Malthouse PI2C but I think that sometimes it stops being rational.
He was at Carlton for two and a half seasons, the deficiencies in our list have been a decade in the making and in that decade Ratten had the list for five and a half years.
It's been a comedy of errors at Carlton for longer than I care to remember and even though I'm not and never was a Malthouse fan I'm not willing to load all of the responsibility for our parlous state on his shoulders.
I'll cut Thomas some slack, it's not his problem how much he's getting paid and he's still wearing our jumper, I'll wait and see what 2016 brings and if he's still injured or playing in the VFL I'll have a rethink.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

An understatement, our worst trade since we gave Geelong the Chapman pick for Mick Mansfield.
Edit: The jury's still out on pick 7 for Jaksch but it's not looking flash at the moment, I guess Malthouse should cop the heat for this one.
Anyway, good to see Walks back and I like what I've seen of Holman so far, you just never know.

No arguments with the Warnock trade, it was a shocker but judging it with the ability to see how said draft picks turned out is BS.
Taking a broken Daisy in on a 750k deal when we knew he needed a complete foot reconstruction.....well only a fool or fools would do such a thing. And then to also let Betts go, which in turn has seen the loss of Garlett and now possibly Yarran....well.....that is a c0ck up of epic proprtions, way worse than trading pick 24 for a promising ruckman.
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Isn't mandatory to attack or defend Malthouse and Ratten in every thread?
There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in the game and the line ups though :

How about some misplaced optimism Kruddler

Not without a chance in this one....whether we want it is another question.
Our second quarter form against North would stack up OK against this mob.
If we can sustain it for more than a quarter we might push them.
