Toast The Positive thread: now with 2020 vision

[Dadda Dave]

Please list some positives. I'm interested in what people see.

Getting some miles and muscle into our young brigade so their ready to pounce in a year or 2 .

 

[Soapy V]

Our 'attempt' in doing things properly by way of key appointments.
Stopped head-hunting those that CEO thought to be best, or President thought to be best etc. We have embraced a business-type process.

We finally have a stand-alone List Manager. No meddling from CEO's, Football Managers, Presidents etc.
We have a one-stop shop making the decisions as to who will come into this club and who will not for better or worse, but it is the right way.

We have a plan...a real plan...and even if it doesn't bring about the ultimate goal, the fact we have an honest plan, is a step in the right direction.

We may have subtly distanced ourselves from Mathieson. Easier said than done, but he has at least been quiet in the media, in recent years.

Each and every one of these points are prone to be sabotaged again, unfortunately.
If they're not and Carlton finally become an honest (brutal is fine, but has to be honest) club, we'll be better off for it.

C'mon Harks you know you want to, you're close, just let go of some of that conservatism, c'mon just try it.................................

We best get another four in there and in a hurry.
It''s somewhat unbalanced there right now

 

[Neese]

People watch the Northern Blues Carlton player highlights. Phillips is starting to look fit and some nice plays from Kerr, Harry, LeBois

Ed Curnow,

Unheralded, busts his ass off, takes massive hits and gets back up with no fuss or retaliation and really does bleed for the jumper. The club has a heap of issues right now, he ain't one of them.

Impending delete spree

Unlike the year where MM ran us into the ground & we had no kids to hang our hat for the future, we have a stack of kids who are going to be part of no.17 with a coach who has been transparent to us supporters in where we are and where we are going.

Great thread Neese

Every Carlton draftee should be given a tape of his career to watch the moment they walk in the door, even his possessionless games early on. Pound for pound has punched above his weight class

Perseverance, courage, commitment.

They all need to know, what it takes

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

There is a "Big Fish" to join our great young group

Please elaborate Soap!

Should I get the popcorn ready?

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

This is my kind of thread.

just needs some cool tunes!

Three little birds outside my doorstep....singin sweet songs

I bagged Ed at the start of the season and I admit i was wrong. Bloke busts his ass week in and out.

Great thread Neese

The unity at this club is something I haven't seen in 20 years or so.
There is no quick fixes or messiahs!
We have a vision and we are all on board! I like this a lot.
We are helping to keep Barker of the streets.

Bestie and I are seriously pondering coming over to honour him in his 300th

Bestie and I are seriously pondering coming over to honour him in his 300th

I really hope we do. He fully deserves it.

[Murphkreuzmitch]

The best thing about our club, is by far and away our supporters. All personality types, and from all walks of life.

Even with the chips down, and everyone pointing at our train wreck start to the year, there are supporters celebrating all the good things and the good things hopefully to come.

Well done!

 

[Jabba73]

Just jagged $20mil to upgrade our home ground and training facilities.

The club is going places on and off the field.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I could not love two footy players (or heck even people, my partner excluded) than I do Paddy Cripps and Charlie Curnow
