Yes we all know we are developing, yes we all know it will take time- 'in three years we will be good' is what they say- but why?
- Rattens game plan has proved that it doesnt match our style of play- we constantly go around the boundry- and NEVER go down the corridor. How often last night did you see a player- i.e. gibbs, get the ball in the middle and immediately turn left or right to go to the boundry. We do not have the skill to execute this game plan.
- Im not a medical doctor but what is going on with JUDDs injury? Either he can or cannot run- at the present time he is jogging around and CANNOT sprint- Apparently this will take 12 weeks to resolve- so does this mean he will suddenly be able to put on the after burners and run again? I have my doubts. Watching him on the boundary he went to reach for his groin, but obviously realised everyone would be watching him and took his hand away.
- 'EDDIE'- Whilst Eddie Betts may have kicked goal of the year last night, his output is plain and simply poor- before that goal he had 4 or 5 possessions inside fifty that resulted in what 1 point! A small forward who doesnt kick goals and who lets his man do what ever they want is a waste of time. At least he did a 17 minute time trial round optus oval- indicating the fitness of an unfit 14 year old.
-STEVENS, SCOTLAND, HOULIHAN- The senior passengers in the team- for years it has been houlihan and more recently scotland who have come in, done what they need to get by, rack up the easy touches and get paid at the end of the day- WHO CARES about the result? Nick Stevens one of my favourite Carlton players seems to be following these guys, never works back, doesnt run as much, looks over weight. The game must be easy when all you do is stand loose between the opposition or run behind the player to get the easy possession.........
- DO WE HAVE ANYONE THAT CAN WIN THE BALL INSIDE?- Hadley did OK last night, maybe we can use Pfiffer in there, but how many guys watch the ball in close and dont put there head over it.
- KERNAHAN, BRADLEY and all the old school crew must clear out- we should have cut ties with them years ago- during the Elliot era.
Now I know that all you blind faithful Carlton supporters will abuse me, and call me a troll and question what I have to say- but in reality I am only angry because I can honestly say at the end of the year we wont have learnt
anything- The kids seem like they are being told how to play, when they really wont develop. Even Essendon a team some will say have a FAR worst list than ours, took on the game last week, and whilst they might do the same and get expolited by GEELONG, the kids are learning and will benefit in the long rung. But not Carlton, we will end up with kids with no feel for the game- but 'Murphy, Gibbs and Kreuzer' will be good- yes, but unfortunately we can not end up with a team of number ones.
What can be done? I dont know- I say drop a few of these so-called senior players, why not? They dont do anything anyway- and play a few more kids- give armield, austin and these types a go. Anyway that he is might rant.
mrkyuss.
p.s- Another thing I noticed last night. I was sitting next to all the Carlton players that wont playing- by three quarter time they all had left- to go the rooms, out drinking, some gay metro night club who knows? One player remained who watched all of the game- whilst sitting amongst drunk St Kilda supporters, getting heckled, he didnt care because he was concerned about his team and actually had a PASSION for the game. His name was MATTHEW KREUZER-lets not stunt his development- something has to change.
