Do you? It’s easy to be critical of people making decisions, you can please some of the people some of the time, as they say.

I take it you support the board challenge despite there being no identified candidates or suggested way forward?

That's how he comes across to me too, no doubt about it

But yep I still don't support the EGM.

Phew.....I thought the Trump thread brought out the lunacy on TC.
Folks we have a new winner, this is a whole new level of bat shit crazy.

Quoting Malthouse on how bad our club is, the same person they are saying ruined our club. Wow, that's mind blowing stuff right there kids.

And then there's the straight up hypocrisy of "old" Carlton people wanting to make changes to something new, while at the same time professing this current board wreaks of "old" Carlton.

Double

This wins the Internet for today

Wonder if they’ll seek out Kate Jesaulenko for their ticket…

I believe him.

Why don't you?

The definition of insanity is repeating the same process expecting different results.


The only other people I speak to about Carlton are Carlton supporters and the odd ex player.

Why wouldn't I believe a coach who went through the crap we are seeing?

Because he's paid to comment and then writes an article that highlights exactly why we hired him and were wrong to do so?

I dont know about you but making up stories based on my external perspective seems to be more lunacy than following the comments of the ex coach, particularly looking at how our current coaches tenure ended.

I thought he raised some relevant points about the club in article - the problem is it's massively hypocritical of him given he, leading up to his departure, totally screwed our future, big time.

Putting it simply, because I'm not gullible and especially not to the ravings of a deluded old man that has a chip on his shoulder with a club that gave him what he deserved - The end of his coaching career.
Try re-reading it with the perspective he has an axe to grind.
He hardly says anything other than blaming the board for his own failings to deliver what was expected of him when he was hired, through DT.

He is right about one thing, where there is smoke there is fire. But unfortunately for him, it's his smoke and his fire.

Pi$$ off Mick, again.

He does say he shouldn't have taken the job. He's owning his mistake.

He doesn't go into any great details about whats wrong with the place, but his comment about history holding us back (its played a factor with sacking both Ratten and Teague) is actually true.

The salary cap, once again, true. I have little doubt he contributed to that with daisy, but thats beyond the point.

I don't like malthouse. I never wanted him at Carlton, and whilst he was there, I hoped it would end well rather than believed in it.

Anyway, we are drifting here. Need to look past who he is, and look at what he's stating.

If the EGM doesn't get up, we just have to hope they pull it together, but I tell you what, if we expect finals in the next two years with yet another game plan change, we are likely to offside a few players, some required some not, and that reinforces more of the same disunity. It's setting the next bloke up for failure.

‘Carlton Now’ = Michael O Brien in terms of popularity.
Less popular than a half eaten apple, and only appealing to nuffies who like ranting and raving without actually offering any solutions.

they are going to look even sillier if we get our preferred candidates at CEO and senior coaching level . All they are doing now is disrupting that process.

This is the issue, he has his own internal biases and everything he writes or says is based on those.
Just like you have yours and you are looking to seek reasons the board is bad and no change has been made that is significant enough to satisfy you.
Hence why you are happy to believe the rantings of a bitter old man who sells drama, stories and controversy for a living.

Personally, I like to take peoples perspective with a pinch of salt and an open mind. But for Mick, I will take nothing.

EGM will proceed as normal

If you are happy with the club then why even waste your energy on the EGM?

I'm not happy with the club; not one iota.

If members want EGM that’s what should happen and the previous board have brought this on because of the taking away members rights ie AFL Carlton support members -taking their money but not giving them a vote
Having said that if I was voting I would vote for the incumbents because I have no idea of Carlton Nows platform or the composition of the ticket and how they intend to make the club better and better for members

That's fine - the club is member owned first and foremost.
This board has been given a fair go and built a rotten culture in the football department.
With new constitutional changes it takes rights away from members and board strengthens its grip of power over the members.
This is at a time this board has overseen x amount of sackings in all facets of the football dept and zero on field success.

Their time is up.

I thought half the board is now new?

We dont even know who they are and were never democratically elected on the board.

All we know they are Sayers yes men puppets.

You know there are two other organisations that democratically vote in their members?
The council and the government, case and point.

I'd prefer to let the board look for appropriate replacements with the skills that are required to help push the organisation forward, over letting people who have no idea of upper management vote in some numpty because he's a good bloke and loves Carlton.
Just my opinion.
