My blood pressure has taken a serious hit recently with all the negativity that is coming from Carlton supporters. Let's go back to round 4 for a bit of perspective. We are winless and nearly every finger is pointed and every head is on the chopping block. Carlton supporters are screaming for Mick's head, our captains head, Gibbs head and nearly every other person associated with the club. Social media is clogged with Carlton supporters who are captain Hindsight and talking about everything that is wrong with us. After one win there is dramatic change. The boards are now filled with toasts and positives about players and our captain is once again beloved. After another win over West Coast, Carlton supporters can barley hold back their jubilation. There is now apparently nothing wrong with the club, the captain the management or the coach according to Carlton supporters. Then we lose again and its back to pointing fingers at the likes of Lucas, Warnock, Gibbs ect (the favorite whipping boys). We are suddenly doing nothing right anymore.
Maybe there is nothing wrong with the club or the players except the lack of faith, loyalty, encouragement and support that Carlton fans are meant to provide. Some of the comments I heard coming from "carlton supporters" at the game on the weekend was disgusting to say the least.
The Favorite Whipping Boys and Claims
"Gibbs too soft and doesn't care about Carlton"- I don't understand people who love to abuse Gibbs about being soft. If you actually go to games you'd notice that he does go in hard, lays tackles and is certainly not soft.
"Murphy isn't a good leader and has no passion"- All I ever see from Murph come game day is him running himself into the ground. This guy couldn't be doing more to try and lift his team.
"Warnock is lazy and doesn't do enough"- Granted this was true for the first couple of rounds but he has really improved lately, his tap work is one of the best in the competition.
"Rowe is a terrible, why is he even in the team?" This one really baffles me. In the game against collingwood our backline stood a barrage of attack, and Rowe did extremely well, at least in my eyes.
"We paid to much for Thomas, he is useless"- Give this guy a break, he had a terrible injury and is probably still recovering mentally. Sure we probably paid to much for him but it is useless to live in the past.
"Mick Malthouse has no idea what he is doing and his gameplan is terrible"- Malthouse probably has picked up a thing or two more than the average supporter with his decades of coaching experience. Coaching success doesn't happen overnight.
"Bring back Ratts, Bring back Fev"- This is full ******, no point in even addressing those comments. Why don't we bring back the 1995 team while we are at it?
My overall point is that as Carlton supporters it's good to critique and discuss the club, the list ect but encouragement, hope and support goes much further than ripping on our own boys.
