If we are 0 and 4 the media circus will start up again - in full swing.
I guarantee the journo's will already be drafting some witty one liners in preparation
What's the problem? If we're 0-4, the coach should be accountable.
As a paying member, I would expect some hard questions asked of the club.
This is a multi million dollar organisation which financially functions off the good grace of the members. No one should be shielded from accountability.
Instead of focussing on being adversarial, the club should view it as an opportunity to explain the clubs direction and selling the positives (young players etc).
The "we're Carlton, @#$%&! the rest philosophy" has contributed to the shit position we find the club in. Thankfully the CEO and chairman seem to be finally dragging us into the 21st century.
Agreed. The 5th quarter should be all about communication with the supporters and honesty over " polish and stats" SHOULD be the order of the day. BUT the reality is this , one, all coaches are going to be unwilling to give too much of their strategy away, two, will anybody listen to the truth if its not what they want to hear? Coaches and Politicians are on the same band wagon
They're just excuses IMO Padre. Do you really believe the other 17 clubs are going to learn anything from what a coach says in his post match presser? They are well and truly versed on how we play the game.
Minor tactics on the day may vary but let's be honest, the opposition would have a grasp on those by 5 minutes into the match.
As for supporters not listening to the truth, are you serious?
So it's the supporters/members fault that Mick doesn't react accordingly in the press conferences because "nobody listens to the truth if it's not what they want to hear". Pretty good there. Blaming the members/supporters for the inadequacy of the coaches!
Sorry to break the generalisation, but it's exactly what I want to hear. It also lets me know whether on not the club actually knows what "the truth" is. Let's be serious. There's been plenty of delusion and poor decision making at our club over the past 20 years. The more transparency the better IMO.
