Yeah sorry about that. Got my passwords mixed up. At least I didn't confuse it with my Saintsational one.Greening gold wrote:Ummm - Jack - you seem to have logged on to the wrong blog.

I just don't undestand the feline jealousy that exists when people seem to be wishing the worst on Mick. He won us a flag. Was unlucky not to win two more, and had we not appointed Bucks, might have had us primed again in 2012 and 2013 (even with the injuries).
But anyone who says Mick Malthouse can't coach is a total nincompoop! He looks a whole lot better than the current muppets who occupy our coaches box!

I wish my first post could be under better circumstances, but as a lifelong Carlton supporter at the age of 23 I have never been so disappointed with an effort as I was last night.
I can't keep defending these guys after that performance.
It was like watching a bunch of school boys against an average AFL team.
I don't think I've seen a capitulation like that before. To just basically roll over from midway through the second quarter was a disgrace.
You cheated your way to 50k, so I wouldn't think about 100k for a long timeWow what a way to celebrate & repay the faithful who have helped get the club to 50K members for the first time....would hate to see what we would be like if we hit 100K members, although I dont think we will have to worry about that if this form & heartless performance continues.
This season I have lived in hope but that got smashed to bits last night.
Would have preferred a Carlton performance from the dark ages than the insipid performance that was displayed last night. There was no ticker after Vinny went down.
Yes a pessimistic post but absolutely no excuse for a showing like that against the filth
I was shouted down earlier in the year when I pointed out that this is list is seriously overrated. The chickens have now come home to roost
You have to take off your hat to the Magpies recruiting. With all of their injuries they could have easily played the injury card like Carlton supporters did last season. Instead they have uncovered some real gems this year and they are getting valuable game time into these players. Carlton on the other hand continues to look for the miracle trade. We have not got our recruiting right for the past 5 years. Hudson a broken down hack beat up our ruckmen last night. Big body, experience and he did the job. Well done to the old fella.
Wow, what an insipid capitulation! I still feel sick in the guts having sat through that last night. Back to drawing board, we are 5 years from being anywhere near having a crack. Hopefully before Murph & Gibbs are ready to retire. Krooz - au revoir. You got beat by a twice retired old man.
Please move him on! We are in massive trouble folks...
You know it's serious when you've gone past and can only muster a ...
The listlessness returns...we'll find out how deep it runs in the next few weeks.
Feeling ecstatic after last nightFeeling gutted after last night. That was one of the worst Carlton efforts I've witnessed in 34 years of watching them
We have already screwed up bringing in a great champion in Judd and not capitalising on this recruitment by building a potential premiership side around him. All we did was drive him into the ground. Our recruitment since then has been deplorable! We have too many players without the intestinal fortitude and smarts to allow this team to go anywhere.
I seriously don't think I have felt this deflated after a game since the Pagan era.
Honestly don't know where we are heading. Go back 2 years we win 14 games and we are a kick out of a Preliminary. Essentially with the same list the club has gone backwards, fact of the matter is we can't string a run of wins together, (we've won 14 games in a season once in the last 12 years) and even with 3 years of finals experience, we still can't take it up a notch against the better teams. Really these blokes have no-one to blame but themselves.
Heads will roll.
i can't understand how they can just switch off like they did after such a great start. Even after losing Waite ! Still not sold on Malthouse either.
High expectations at the start of the season are now sad reflections wondering where we are really at.
I was astonished at the game last night, and not much has changed this morning, I have always thought we were around the mark and kept convincing myself that we would take the next step with this list, boy I don't believe that right now let me tell you, gutted, absolutely gutted
reality slapped me in the face last night and it still hurts
rebuild is an ugly word when you have not really achieved but that is what i see
After about 5 minutes into the third quarter, I stopped being angry and I just became numb. Oh, Collingwood has kicked another one...oh, and we dropped the ball. Again.
Now I just feel flat.
Just got up this morning hoping the pain of last night would be gone and forgotten ... But instead I am reliving it all over again!
Well, I've slept on it. Woken up this morning just as pissed off as last night.
What's the point of making the 8 if we're not good enough to be there. Supposedly we're coming, we're going to make top 4, there's something really building around the club. Heard these statements in the last few years?? What do we have to show for it- 1 finals win. That's it - 1. I don't want to fall into the 8, I want to be challenging for a flag. But right now we're a long way off that. Miles in fact.
Have we under estimated the impact of the punishment and its on going effect .Can anyone say we've actually recovered? Ive often said a lot of the club and supporters think we are still the "Old" Carlton where finals and success were just about a given .But go from that to your first wooden spoon and winning about a dozen games in the next 5-6 years (dont quote me !) and I think the fabric of the club has been ripped to shreds.
Absolutely you deserve it!Really deserve all the criticism we're getting,
Appalling performance
I thought the boys looked good last night - especially impressed with Gibb's mohawk
It Was an incredibly soft performance,you can sugar coat this squad all you like but to be fair it aint going any where. Carlton accepting mediocrity for 20 years it is Richmond Esque.
I am optimistic that Carlton will not participate in finals in 2013
**** we are copping a pasting on the main board.
The worst part about it is that we are in a pretty indefensible position. Can't blame it on injuries, not used to the new game plan etc.
