Are Carlton content that close enough is good enough?

Just watching the footy and Dennis Commetti said this. Got me thinking here is a club that was once great and definitly is a shadow of its former self. Anyway they are now in the right direction of regaining some respect but was Dennis in the right to say this.

Not really, they are just an extremely average football team with no leadership.

Their fans were delusional once again at the beginning of the season, but the reality is hitting home now.

The sack pagan threads are probably being written as i write this

parrot is happy just because they have some kids with big reputations, I don't think she even cares that they are a mediocre side.

Parrot is a **** and has no idea about footy, he has no idea about his list. and they are destined to another decade of wodden spoons

Why are you posting crap like this in every Carlton related thread tonight when we came back from 48 points behind to beat your team only three weeks ago?

Idiot.

Essendon are rubbish.

Umm, because it's the truth.

Just keep living on your beating Essendon glory, and you will never move ahead.

1999 prelim anyone?

BTW, when i need permission from you as to what and where i can post....well you can guess the rest

The truth is that we have most probably the least experienced team in the AFL with a lot of young players who at the moment aren't at an AFL standard. They will be better for the experience however.

What makes you think that we only live to beat Essendon? IMO we live to beat 16 teams, however, I could be wrong because clearly I am not an AFL registered Carlton player. Neither are you for that matter so how would you have any idea about the mindset of the Carlton players? Are you Dr Phil?

When you consider practices that will stop teams moving forward, maybe someone should let your coach know that recruiting ordinary players from the team which has won three wooden spoons in the last five years is not exactly the recipe for progression.

What I was pointing out is that your efforts to put down a club, which you have gone to extrodinary lengths to do so tonight might I add, look hypocrtical when your own side couldn't hold a 48 point lead against them.

Cry me a river sunshine.

I was making comment in relation to the thread title and what are my thoughts on the matter.
You came in and started talking about carlton coming from 48 points behind to beat Essendon.
You also asked why i was posting in all these carlton threads.

Whos crying....oh that's right.....you

Are we bad? Yes.

Is there the capacity for improvement? Yes.

Is 6-8 wins a realistic target considering last year? Yes.

Their fans were delusional once again at the beginning of the season

And what were these delusions, exactly? From parrot? A finals place? A premiership, perhaps? Hah. Or shall I go a step further and accuse most of you of believing a top 4 spot was possible on the back of a 15th place finish last year?

Please realise that most Carlton fans here have actually been realistic and don't expect too much, at most a move out of the bottom four. We should be improving and rebuilding at the same time, not remaining static.

Thawn.
If you see my post in that other carlton thread you will see we discussed about the unrealistic views of supporters from every team.
I have had a go at my own supporters and their unrealistic views, but what can you do....nothing

There were heaps of delusional carlton supporters, saying what games they would win, how they would smash this team and that team, but as i said, every team has them

parrot doesn't even rate a mention, as we all know what he is like.

Yes there were many delusional Essendon supporters who were talking top 4, and although they are off the planet, at least they did it after 2 H&A wins, not a glorified practice match series.

there are bigger fish to fry with the blues. winning less than 5 games will mean the No1 draft pick in the form of a priority pick.
