I know they have but I still think regardless of that result we wouldâve won the next year. Maybe we might not have been as ruthless or convincing but we had a very good side.
Just a shame we underachieved massively, they had the talent to go down as one of the best of all time
Carlton were the next best side in 2000 and it was fortuitous that Jason Johnson collided knees with Kouta late in the season which screwed their chances and he was out for the season. They had only just ended their 13 game winning streak the week before.
I caught up with a Fark Carlton supporter at work a couple of weeks ago. First thing he says to me is âI see youâre wearing a navy blue jumperâ. I responded âYeah, I canât play footy eitherâ.
i donno, thatâs kinda like reading a typical essendon response on here.
I wanna test a theory though.
who believes carlton are in a âdevelopment yearâ ?
who believes if carlton donât make finals, it can still be considered a positive year, cos you know progress isnât linear ?
would you buy it if a calton supporter said, donât worry this is just our preseason form, you donât want to be peaking in march, or half way through the year ?
carlton are a young side, it takes time ?
it also takes time to learn a new gameplan ?
Wanna know the only difference between carlton and essendon these days, the colour of their jumpers, the rest is pretty much identical, from players, to coaches to boards to off field people with influence disrupting the joint.
Donno how anyone can sit there are laugh at them, we were in the same boat last year, and if history repeats we will either be back there next year or not to long after.
Iâm probably in the minority in here but I do think Carlton have enough good players on their list to be a finals threat. Something is obviously not clicking for them yet. Whether that be a coaching thing, mental thing, cultural thingâŚIâm not quite sure, but something is not right.
I remember thinking the same thing with Melbourne before they won their premiership. I looked at their list and thought they had most of the pieces there to be a great team. Everyone was saying at that time that they were slow and one dimensional and had no quality outside midfield runners. Carlton are in the same boat in my opinion.
Regardless, I just gonna enjoy them being mediocre still (for now)
Just had a read of this. Big surprise, Carlton with another criminal as president (although we had that piece of â â â â crook EvansâŚ)
Love how his wife is the director of a âcharityâ. The not for profit sector is a massive rort in this country, the industry needs to be turned on its head.
