A thread of level headed reason

[ferball]

The next two matches are huge. Win both and we have probably improved. Lose both and it's a disaster. Win one, lose one then we are probably not any better than last year. Team selection will tell us a lot I think. For what it is worth, I think we will win both.

Losing to * and winning on GF is better than the other way around.

True, but to say we have improved we need to win both. No easy task though.

It is possible to just walk away, and it shouldn't be judged when it gets to the point that the current custodians of an institution you once revered have turned into something that doesn't remotely resemble the one you remember. I've cancelled my Kayo, cancelled my auto rollover Nth membership, and as I am from a Carlton family, they already bought tickets to the good friday game & I'm obliged to go so i have to wait until then, but after that I'm free of this sh*t, and I can't wait.

It's funny, I used to pee my pants with laughter at membership microwaving Tigs supporters who would go on a "I'm finally farkin done with this mob...nup serious this time I'm really done!" rant every few months, but Jesus do I get it now. You have a matrix moment and something snaps and you look at things differently. I just have nothing but anger towards this self absorbed pack of paycheque thieves and grifters the way you would have anger towards some dodgy Irish gypsy builders who have just bilked you out of hundreds of dollars for a service they have no plans to deliver.

So yeh, just to let you know you can walk away and there are other hobbies and fields of endeavour out there to fill your weekends.

Entitlement??? if you have Kayo, go open up a tab RIGHT now and bring up Sunday's game, and fast forward halfway through to the footage of the teams in the rooms at half time, look at the Eagles who just played a half in the same heat as our mob- they're switched on, engaged, excited for the second half, look like they are buzzing on a six pack of red bull. Then look at us- all cues snugly placed in the rack, looking like they absolutely dreading having to scrape their lazy arses off the chairs and phone in another hour of footy, just counting the minutes until they can get back to Melbourne and their real passion- clowning around to produce to social media content.

So you have players with attitudes like that on 6 figure+ incomes, a president that runs the joint like her own personal NGO, and a coach who, in a pallid attempt to assuage his own feelings of guilt about hurting people with some of his insensitive behaviour 10 years ago, is running the joint like a *****ng YMCA.

And all these people just smugly and blithely expect us to subsidise their ego trips?! that's entitlement.

Now there's some level-headed reason for ya.

Well the dude did ask if he should walk away from footy, and no one really addressed that part of the post so I tought I would. That was as much level-headedness as I could conjure up and I think I did pretty well considering we went from 30 points up to 30 points down in the space of two quarters to a team that had a 1 win season last year. Non-level headed would be to say 'every single employee of Arden street should be shot out of a cannon in the direction of Antarctica, and the building should boarded up and turned into something that is actually useful to society, like a condom factory'.

Or words to that effect.
