Anyone else looking forward to getting this all sorted and this Thread closing?

That's the issue. It's not the list talent. Issues is underlying and it is something 6 coaches this century haven't fixed. Culture is horrible. Unless that is fixed a 7th is going to fare no better. Until that is sorted that list is what you call false economy BV. No good having a list that looks good if the players don't find the motivation to work hard on a regular basis. We're are coach killers.

If it was just a case of injury killing us only then Teague, with a fit list, would have played finals. Then why would you sack him if that's the theory (i'm just talking the theory here BV). The thing is he was brought undone by players they are not motivated or have the inner drive to succeed, have no inclination to defend anywhere on the ground or run two ways, something he would have trusted the players to do. Same with all our other coaches this century.

I wouldn't touch the job with barge pole if I was a first time coach. The reward may be high, but the risk is huge that you are gone in 3 years with the tail wagging the dog, might even if you get a honeymoon 1st year like Ratts did at St.Kilda.

Gia's my pick. Looked every inch a coach during his latter days at the Dogs on the bench when he was injured. Coached his own team to 2nd after the regular VFL season, and was named assistant of the year in 2019. I'm happy to take him.

I don't care how long it takes as long as we get the "right" coach, this time!

Pagan was considered the "right" coach.
Ratts was considered the "right" coach.
Madhouse was considered the "right" coach.
Etc.
We have a good track record of getting the "right" coach.

Ratts was the right coach , he made the finals the year after trading fevola and we were a free kick in the goal square to Walker away from a prelim against the cats

And he had Thornton and ohalpin as our fwd line

The problem for ratts , he had a weak president in sticks abs a manipulator in Swann !! First chance they got they knifed him ... so let’s move fwd !! Fast fwd 8 years and here we are again after a bucket load of incompetent decisions

I know for a fact Sticks also didn’t agree with the decision but had no option as majority held sway.

The asking Collingwood for assistance is embarrassing.

Maybe we should ask someone else to run the place...

And how do you know this is true? Cmon just cause Carro said it. ? As if we are going to Collingwood for help. Do you really believe this?

Sorry that doesn’t fly with me , he had a voice !! He let ratts down and he let Swan and malthouse trade out within 2 years

Betts Garlett yaz and Robbo ,and bought in that fraud daisy

Sticks champion player , shithouse administrator/ president !!

I get my news from other supporters not the media. This is embarrassing.

It was only 2 weeks ago that the president himself admitted he’s frustrated by leaks coming from the club:

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/08/27/blues-concerned-about-the-amount-of-leaks-coming-out-of-the-club/



I’m not saying everything in the media is true, but i don’t think we can claim ‘silence’ from the club.

Board needs development and training like our next coach.

Need to remember the president has a major vote but he must also allow the list manager, coach, footy manager, ceo to do their job. He can’t keep overruling their decisions, as he might as well not have them.

Caroline Wilson has grown a beard?

Yeah, we’re Carlton of f**k the rest!

For the life of me I cant understand why talking to collingwood about their process would be a bad thing, also dont see why talking to them about their views on theur aoplicants either. Collingwood would have some learnings from their process that may help us

No. Get with the program Sandra. Everything Carlton does is bad! And even if we didn't do it, if the media or supporters say we did, it's bad anyway!
You're not following the narrative correctly.
