Would you rather nobody trades with you and you win a premiership or would you rather everyone likes trading with you and your supporters look forward finishing outside the 8 every year? The list managers moved on a lot of our senior players like Thommo and Hay because they were never going to be good enough to win us a premiership. Hard choices but one which had to be made to make our club better. The Carlton list managers are no different. After being in the bottom rungs of the ladder for so long, every Carlton supporter would love to see your team climb to the top. And that wont happen without Ratten and his team being ruthless.
As for arrogance thats a massive generalisation. Dont confuse arrogance with confidence. I dont know if you remember but the Blues supporters were pretty smug in the early 80's when premierships were the norm. And why wouldnt you be? Ashman, Johnston, Harmes and the list goes on were all champions. Why wouldnt you be confident they would go out and perform?
Point is that Geelong supporters are arrogant and so are Hawthorn supporters. Carlton supporters will be when you make the finals again (most likely next year) - arrogance is simply a by-product of having a belief your team will win.
Oh stop letting reason get in the way of a good argument McCreviss!
