These guys all need to take responsibility for turning the ship around. Some difficult discussions and home truths need delivering in order to get the club into the top 4. I feel like it could happen pretty quickly if the off field takes responsibility and owns their role in the mess.
 
What do you think isn't working this year that worked two years ago?
The rest of the comp has realised they're shit. The shock factor is gone.

Right now.. Carlton are underperforming after being expected to challenge for a flag this year, coming off back to back finals series in the previous two years.. not too dissimilar to Geelong 2006.

The form lines over three seasons.. are remarkably similar to one another.

Carlton 2023.. lost preliminary final to eventual runners up Brisbane.
Carlton 2024.. petered out in elimination final against eventual premiers Brisbane.
Carlton 2025.. underperforming season after being expected to challenge for the flag, won't make top 8.

Geelong 2004.. lost preliminary final to eventual runners up Brisbane.
Geelong 2005.. petered out in semi final against eventual premiers Sydney.
Geelong 2006.. underperforming season after being expected to challenge for the flag, didn't make top 8.

Then there's the common denominator of Brian Cook as CEO... and the apples/apples comparison between Michael Voss and Mark Thompson.. with fans of the clubs they were coaching calling for them to be sacked, and as players.. both were premiership captains and ruthless leaders.

Brian Cook will remember what it was at like at Geelong this time in 2006, and will maintain stability at Carlton by backing the coach.. while making changes to other areas of the football department. Fitness program would be a good place to start, as Carlton have struggled to run out games.

Do you think Carlton can turn it around.. and bounce back in 2026, after a poor 2025?

I want to ask you a serious question...

That 2012-13 demons side was one of the worst teams in people's lifetimes.

How much would Dank improve the 2012-13 demons? LoL
From memory, the Bombers were looking pretty good in 2012 until the rapidly grown hamstrings started blowing out
Where did Essendon finish in 2012?
Does that answer your question?
