The scum floundering for members LOL

This is the bit I liked

Flash in my books the club started to die ( as a club supporters could be proud of ) when that ignorant prick Elliott took the reigns.

Nobody can be proud of a club that flouts the rules to buy success, especially when said flouting buys nothing but second rate high draft picks because all the clubs money is spent on under the counter deals instead of searching for and hiring competent recruiters.

Since then it has been a procession of shonky deals and shonkier coverups by the AFL. A tragi-comedy when they were punished for breaking the rules one year and then given a handout the very next year by the AFL because they were in hardship.

It's enough to make any fair dinkum barracker puke, and despite all their denials deep down in their heart of hearts most Bluze supporters secretly know their club is a cesspool bent on success at any cost, who believe that they are better than the rules and the rule makers.

I wonder if the scum fans realise that SOS doesn't come with the multitude of high draft picks he had whilst at GWS?

Anyone could look good in those circumstances.

I have zero sympathy for this club that are cheats and have the most arrogant supporters and individuals running the club and they deserve no support or assistance from the AFL for their incompetence and lack of ability to have more people become members of the club. I hope the AFL tells them to work out their membership problem by themselves.

The membership figure of 50,000 in 2013 for Carlton is somewhat suspicious mainly because Carlton were pushing very hard to play their home matches at the MCG and the AFL stated that they needed 50,000 members to justify such a move from Etihad Stadium to the MCG. Of course last year that figure was not replicated and it's highly likely that they won't reach 50,000 members this year either hence the move to the MCG looks unlikely at the moment.

Carlton is still in a position where they think going out and getting the best coach or player from an opposition club will bring them success like it did in the 1970s and 1980s but John Elliott's backward philosophies which have spread through his successors since his presidential reign ended in 2002 has resulted in a stale and soulless club with no positive direction heading forward and it still lacks the ability and understanding to recruit sensibly and knowledgeably and to handle finances effectively. Other clubs like ourselves, Hawthorn and Geelong for example have evolved as the game has changed and that's why our clubs are in much better positions on the field and off the field as we speak.

The rut for Carlton officially commenced from the moment it was revealed they cheated the salary cap in 2002 and were fined in excess of nearly $1,000,000 and since then they have struggled as some supporters have lost faith in the club in general, young supporters don't see the appeal to support Carlton due to a lack of success in the past 13 years and their reputation as a strong but honest club (not that it was ever honest) has taken a massive hit for them with salary cap cheating being on the forefront of this cheating, tanking for draft picks and of course it's arrogant ability to not acknowledge past mistakes and errors from the past.

Finally long may this misery continue for them!

The time is right for us --its our time with Tullamarine users and the Scumbag loosers
wallowing in sewerage to leapfrog over them with back to backs taking us to 17 flags
And more to contemplate first side to 20 flags
That sounds good to me

I defecate on the Carlton football club from a great height. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

I have nothing but contempt for that vile foul and decrepit excuse for a football club and I wish them nothing but misery and sorrow for all of eternity. I want nothing more than to thrash the scum in a GF while the old codger is still in charge and I want us to be the ones to hand them their arses on a platter by 150 pts. Y'all with me???

These are the years Carlton will remember as the lost years. A decision to get MM will be one they will regret. Not that MM is the problem, its simply a case of a Club with no purpose, hoping that recruiting a brilliant coach would fix all their problems on and off the field. They have always reminded me of a Club that has a culture of used car salesman. You never feel you are getting a good deal. Just an experience dealing with oily haired business types, who with one hand shake your hand and with the other working over your wallet.

I expect next they will look to the glory years of the 70's and 80's and grasp at something that will work with their fans. Jezza as a comeback coach is certainly on the cards.

I don't blame them for appointing Malthouse, he was clearly the best available, the only question was his hunger, and TBH I don't think they gave him the authority we gave him when he came in and cleaned our house.

I think the difference between us in 99 and them in 2013 is we actually had a half decent leadership group, they didn't.

He inherited major salary cap issues at Carlton, they had more high profile under performing salary cap eating spuds than any other team in the history of the cap, no coach was taking them anywhere fast IMO.

Best part is, they haven't even bottomed out, yet, that will happen over the Next 3 years.
