He just doesn't articulate footy stuff well for mine Bondi. He is good on topics like running the club which is his strength. So not an all around knock on him but I would prefer him to stay away from media.
One thing that is truly puzzling...
Why does he toss out that line
"Losing is unacceptable!"
Umm..well no actually.
Someone must lose when you play, unless it is a draw..and obviously we do and must accept losing. Weekly actually.
(Think that might be my 1st use of screwy icon )
I mean...if it is truly unacceptable what is he gonna do about it?
Put the club in the naughty corner and feed 'em bread and water?

He has to repeat those lines to show solidarity from the top level.

Not asking for a draft pick shows commitment to the vision, instead of getting halfway through the process and looking like you are throwing your hands in the air...

It's hard enough doing what they are doing without have a press conference at the end of each day to justify every single thing.

I thought SOS was excellent last Monday, but thought is was a shame he had to swim with the sharks when there is still much more to do.

Dwayne being his usual flower self on 3AW with MLG.

MLG handled it well enough.

so now as fans and members, who financially help keep the club afloat, we should hand out participation medals to cfc for trying hard?

with our last two decades of on field results and off field developing and injury management, tanking for kruezer, breaking the salary cap, hiring malthouse, letting eddie go, buying dale thomas etc etc ... we have a right to call bullshit on the club when they're getting seemingly everything so wrong.

we've hired a rookie coach, a rookie president and a rookie CEO and we have exactly one win on the season - possibly we lack the experience and knowledge in key areas of the club, which is why we're so bad on the field across all three of our teams; womens, mens seniors and reserves??

the club has painted a huge target on itself over the last 20 years; so we're hardly sitting here taking potshots.

So now they are getting everything wrong are they, you have no idea have you!

2 wins in 26 games
nearly 3 years since we last scored 100 pts
womens and mens wooden spoons, while the Ants are second last.

footy is really simple. you play to win, and when you're wins are as far apart as ours, yes – we're getting it wrong.

maybe you just like losing mate ... i'm not judging you for it.

We all know we play to win, yes we have made incompetent decisions along the way and i wish we were winning but sometimes reality sets in and when you see the cattle going out there each week it is understandable.
Nearly every one of your posts on here is just regurgitating the same negative crap over and over again. Don't you get sick of it ? Well i doubt i am not the only one who is!

the only thing i get sick of is, watching carlton play with no effort on the field and not much direction off it.

if you want sunshine and lollipops, Richmond offer plenty.

Nearly everyone of your post is having a go at another poster who happens to be a tad annoyed at the current situation the club is in.
The idea in these forums is to attrack the content not the poster.
The moment you set on the poster you have lost the argument.
There are several here that do that

I am not having an argument, just pointing out that i am sick of the the constant negative crap.
So i have lost the argument i did not have,

The whole point of this week's media blitz is to be very clear about the direction and plan the club is taking. I would have thought that was unmissable.
They are doing exactly what they said two and a half years ago they would do in terms of the list.

Well dont read it
Simple isn't it

I actually try not to but it amuses and annoys me both at the same time as to how far removed from reality some posters are!

Quick question for you, have you ever been involved in a total rebuild of a sporting organisation and or playing list ?

over the last 20 years carlton has fed us the appropriate sound bytes and talked the talk. but none of that has translated to successful on field action. because i choose to be dubious of the plan and its chances for success, that doesn't make me any less of a supporter than someone who laps it all up with little to no critical thinking.

I don't think we heard the same interview.

We you expecting a confident Trump like performance, or a media savvy Eddie Maguire or Kevin Rudd?

Individuals are all different, just like our opinion of his performance, and if you expect a particular performance then you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

We are all this together. Everyone. Learn to deal with it.

I heard what I wanted from the horse's mouth.

Same comment can apply to every off field position in the industry.
There's always room for improvement.
It aint such a big deal.

There's no fall out in the media today.
Its Carlton supporters who dont feel good about their club to start with.

I want him to finish what HE started: the journey to 17th.
Nothing else matters.

Good to read we have increased our Footy Dept spend.
I'd like to see more, but then I guess we are paying for other Footy Depts (equalisation policy)

I must be blind, because I don't see players playing without effort. I think the players for the most part are giving their all.

What I do see is a lot of lost players, playing with teammates that they don't know well enough to trust what they are going to do, playing in a position that is foreign to them and as a consequence, always look reactive. A bit like the sydney fans at SCG, they don't get off their seats until after the play not in anticipation of it.

If this is your only measure of effort/passion then I am afraid there is no hope for you

They are your words not his.
That's not reality. Your imagination is drifting away from the facts.
It's not the way to judge people...putting words in their mouth.

MLG is Carlton through and through, and I bet he doesn't say anything like you suggested.
