we have been going backwards as a club and every little positive has been taken as a reason to believe were going forwards

sstand back and youll see this club lost for twenty years....

The YCP Think Tank ladies and gentlemen

That's our only hope now

The Think Tank....

Why MM hasn't used the a Think Tank is totally beyond me. Maybe they can give him some ideas on he to get out coached by inferior coaches

Tonight's game shows that our Club cannot play against the big Clubs...

We are a basket case of a Club now..

The mates Club of keeping old injured blokes like Carrazzo, Waite, Scotland (and even Judd for that matter) is Sticks and Swann's responsibility

The CEO's decision to spend overs for a broken down Daisy....

Hopeless number 1s in Kruezer and Gibbs...

The patch up job of getting blokes like Rowe & White....

The lack of depth after player 21.....

The lack of development in the 1/2 baked reserves Clubs playing at Preston...

The lack of spine players attribute to Hughes and Rodgers obsession with 183 half back flankers..

The loss of Hampson, Davies Joseph Mitchell McCarthy Okeefe Dale show how bad our recruitment and development is...

The Clubs mistakes and obsession of getting and keeping 4 ruckman Kruezer Hampson Warnock and Jacobs resulted in an imbalance in the list...

The Club Directors and Administration should all do the honorable thing and resign and let a new regime take over...

If only we had a strong President with a clear, positive view on how to move forward as a Club after this yea,r instead of another puppet of the benefactors.
A colossal cleanout is required, and our recruitment and player development needs to be heavily funded and massively increased.
This Dads Army Assistant Coaching panel we ve assembled in a joke.
Then theres Barker and Green :roll:
I'm quickly coming to grips with the notion that we will never return to what we once were, and will continue to live in the shadows of our former glories for years to come....

Dude, you re pretty obsessive about the Think Tank, the Sausage Sizzle and the Book Tour.
Point made ages ago...
Let go, and move on...

Thanks for reminding us again Ladies and Gentlemen. Now I have some hope. I was putting all my hope into Luke Sykwalker, the last hope.

So when is Stan Mangroe joining our board? I thought he was our other big great hope you keep repeating.

i think what we need this new president to do is give us his vision....
where is this club at and what will he do.

personally i think hes the type that will fly under the radar....

tiptoe through the tulips

there will be no independent review of this footy club... its just onwards.. not upwards

Find it extremely difficult to work out why to continue following this club. Culture is what exactly? Seems to me I have nothing to identify with this club except memories. It stands for stuff i oppose:

1. Quick fixes
2. Mediocrity
3. Ignore fan base
4. Tactical rather than strategic thinking

I'm bored with it.

Pretty much sums it up windows. Try telling this to a board member - as I have - and you'll be met with disdain. It's not so much a bubble at Carlton as it is a fortress. They understand there is a problem - but are seemingly not interested in a remedy.

to get the remedy you must admit that everything you have been building towards is wrong

hard to admit that....... when its a bubble ...

they only understand that there is a problem now..

its because its obvious

not hre last 5 years they didnt...


so what does thst mean???.. it means they dont have a clue...!!!... if they had a clue they could have seen this years ago.. not when we had our arse handed to us on a plate by everybody

people think im mean to sticks or ratts or whoever...

its unfair

do these people know carlton people are being trated exactly like how i taunt these flower every week for 13 years???

thats unfair!!!

whats not unfair is rubbing their collective faces into the truth...

these people have no integrity

can we please get told where this club is at right now???

or is it steady as she goes some more???!!!

these people are responsible for running our great club into the ground.. but they dont wanna be accountable

It's a rubbish club at the moment controlled by a network of people distracted by personal achievement.

Yep, that's it in a nutshell.

I spend most of my waking life avoiding or opposing shit like that. Why in hell would I actively support it? Or even be remotely interested in a club that does?

Stop me if im wrong. But what is a new President going to do? Seriously?
Decisions are voted on by the board. The board hasn't changed. They endorsed him into the position.
Same shit, different figurehead.

Its like changing the Prime minister, but the government in power is still the same.

8 years the same guys have been involved on this board. If things haven't changed, they wont unless there is a challenge ticket and the entire board changed.

Our board members are about self interest, not the football club.
