The salary cap stuff happened in the 1990s under John Bloody Elliott - both of those things have gone thank goodness ... so get over it all you non-Carlton supporters!
Two losses - so what, there are still five months or so to go in this season and we only want to finish in the top half ... we don't expect to be top two, three or four but we would hope to make it to week two of the finals.
To make the finals and win in the first week will be a great thing for a club that were a power house in the 70s and 80s before being a bit of a yo-yo club from 1996 to 2007.
Rising out of the bottom four with a young team with some talented additions in 2008 bode well for the future and we hope to be apart of the top half of the ladder for quite a while.
But, first things first, we have to get the wins on the board with some consistent footy. The one thing we really need is a ready made backman to lead the back six - that would help us in our aim to be consistent a finals team.
