Just this once I let myself hope that maybe, just maybe, we could make finals. but one point. one point to Collingwood meant it was all for nothing.

Gone for them my whole life, been pretty much every weekend since being able to take the train in. Been to 65 games since 2016, for just 14 wins. “The good old days” for me, was going in as an 8-13 year old and seeing us scrap it out for finals, been a rough old ride. I was born in late August 2000 and had it summed up when I was told the other day that I am one of the oldest AFL supporters around that wasn’t alive when their team last played a prelim. I turned 21 this year… I’ll still keep backing them though, because when it does turn, boy it’ll be the sweetest thing imaginable.

[@aussienick4520]

Seeing lots of negativity in these comments about Carlton's performance this year. And yes, it was frustrating to watch our mid-game fadeouts (Hawthorn and Port), losses to non-finalists we could have beaten (St KIlda, Gold Coast, and Adelaide), and that last-quarter fadeout against Collingwood that cost us a finals berth. But I think the assement of this year ought to be tempered with a serious look at our injury luck (or lack thereof). There was a period where we were losing at least one player a week this year and that can't be good for a rebuilding team under a first-year coach, with players in and out of the team all the time. In spite of that, we managed to stay competitive against some of the best teams in the league, knocking off four finals teams (including a top 4 team.) Even amongst the top 4, the only team that beat us comfortably was Geelong, who are capable of doing that to pretty much everyone (and if I recall correctly we were actually in front at quarter time.) Clearly the raw ability is there, so I think the problem with our club is more of a mental one. It's possible that for our list, the pressure this year was a new experience. After being at rock bottom for so long and starting off this year with an 8-3 record before the bye, maybe the pressure of being not just finals contenders - but top 4 potentials - was more than we were ready to handle. Hopefully our last game against Collingwood is a taste of what kind of pressure the players can expect (given that it was basically an Elimination Final for us.) Remember that we missed finals by the smallest of margins (a percentage difference of 0.3) and I think getting so close and missing out will be something that reallly drives the team next year. With some better injury luck and more consistent standards, I do think that the best is yet to come from this Carlton team.

[@chipdonovan1773]

The fact that blokes like Paddy Dow were getting a run tells you how bad things were for us in terms of depth. There was one point were we had literally every tall back out injured. Hopefully having Acres on the wing and a healthy back line will plug of those holes that rooted us this year. We desperately need to work on our delivery into the 50 this year. Too often we relied on high long bombs into the talls that resluted in rebounded goals against.

The problem with Carlton was, their past under the late Jack Elliott was a culture of buying flags, they forgot how to build a side from youth. Their last three flags were check book premierships.

If Richmond and Melbourne in recent years can get it right as a Carlton supporter I can hope that the blues can finally get back where we once were. But there's a lot of things the club has to get right. The board needs to be united and all agree on the direction it's going. Voss is our coach now and the club has to back him in we can't sack him if things are looking bad. Melbourne and Richmond could have easily sacked their coach before their drought breaking premierships but they backed them in and they ended up winning flags. There is hope for Carlton but the club needs to change it's culture if they can't change our culture then there's no hope.

As a dyed in the wool Blue Bagger this video is a tough watch but almost entirely fair. The old saying is that the fish rots from the head and poor leadership begets poor culture, which begets poor results. Last year was a massive step forward and several of our best players had outstanding years. To miss out on finals by a point in the last round was dreadful. That said, we could have one that and three prior games and none of it would have been an issue. We need to be a no excuses footy club and 2023 must see us push on to September. BTW, I'm glad Ross Lyon didn't come to the club. He coaches anti-football that everyone is poorer for watching. The way he expected to have the job handed to him without due process spoke poorly of him.

Born in 97 into a Carlton family, been a member since I turned 18. I felt like Malthouse was the wrong the hire, we were too early to fire Bolton and Teague was the wrong hire. A lot of it seemed to come across as money saving moves from the board which was very disappointing. Very glad that we cleared some of the board out. I think that Voss is most definitely the man to lead us to the future and I hope he has the same impact that Beveridge has at the Dogs. 2022 is going to most definitely be an exciting year but I’m not expecting us to go blazing into finals straight away. Just also wanted to say we were happy to let Kennedy go for Judd back then because he was having to play behind Fev and Waite, we thought those 2 would be at the club a lot longer than they did but I’m happier we have McKay playing the way he is now.

Great video. Reckon a big problem with the blues seems to be a culture of me before the team. And patty cripps epitomises that, not deliberately but unconsciously because he's trying to do it all. He calls for the ball in the wrong position and tries to kick amazing goals once a year rather than just working on his kick to hit up a leading target. Compared to the dees where everyone was about playing your role and sacrificing for the team. The Carlton culture has become save yourself because they sack their coach and drop players quickly. Creating a culture where everyone thinks of their own game first and team second.

[@man.of.culture231]

[@SilentHotdog28]

Something to think about: look at Carlton vs Collingwood since this millennium, Collingwood is often (not always) playing finals, while Carlton is not. But what separates them? 1 premiership.....only 1. While Carlton fans suffer agonising season results, Collingwood fans suffer from coming agonisingly close to a Premiership and.....lose some may say Choke. Look at the time between 1958 and 1990, 8 Grand Final losses and how many Prelim losses? Since 2000 5 Grand Final appearances and a string of Prelim appearances for 1 premiership......I know it hurts to not even play finals for Carlton fans, but it also hurts getting so close and losing at one of the final hurdles. I still haven't fully gotten over 2018 and 2019......I'm not saying that our pain is worse, because it isn't....But it still hurts a lot.
