Ratten must be replaced asap if we don't want to have to rebuild and wait 8 years to be decent (due to draft concessions given to GC and GWS). How we can't flood their fwd line and then rebound, as they and other average teams do to us every week is just mind-boggling. How an AFL coach cannot inspire his troops at least once in a month to the mere basics of AFL footy such as attck the footy and stick tackles, and support your man, and hunt in numbers is STAGGERING.

Sticks must be sacked for approving the Ratten contract extension mid-season

Get Chocco, and the longer we wait, the greater chance that Bummers will snaffle him.

Expose as many kids as we can for the rest of the season. Finals are now out of the question, so why not play Davies, Ellard, Casboult. Christ we could even play our highly paid 206cm Bullants ruckman.

The Carrazo's of this world must be punished for lack of endeavour, so its a month in the red for him. We also are so lacking in leadership, in fact we may have turned a potential great leader in Judd into a.......well I'm not sure what he is at the moment

But the buck stops with the coach. Disgraceful.

Hardwick is a short lived love story. You'll see.

the sad part in all of this is just say Ratten was removed tomorrow who the bloody out of Rattens crew could step up and coach the side???? NO ONE!!!!!

See that exact response is exactly whats wrong with this bloody club!!!! anyone who didn't play for Carlton is a spud

Don't go and put words into my mouth you little lying flower. All I said was the Hardwicks' time in the sun is shortlived. As soon as there is expectation - that list, and his coaching methodology will suffer.

agree with the Judd comment, the poor bloke had to do it on his own for most of the game! we were sitting on the fence next to the interchange, and the amount of times he came off looking frustrated / angry and then disappointed with the turnovers he was watching was actually sad to watch. we are gonna put that bloke into early retirement....

Matthews and Roos have already been sounded out but told Carlton they aren't interested.

Typical of the old Carlton though to just think throwing some cash around will solve all of our problems.

What makes me sick is to hear Robert Walls in One week at a time say Carlton supporters should settle down with the sack Ratten calls. He reasoning is we are a young with a young coach

A YOUNG SIDE MY A R S E ROBERT WALLS

SENIOR players over the age 25 or older

Walker
Simpson
McClean
Carrazzo
Waite
Thornton
Judd
Houilihan
Hadley
Scottland

There is enough senior experience there to avoid such performances

Yet the Bombers are under the pump who are the second youngest side and had two players over 25 playing last night, McVeigh and Fletcher

Fair point you make there aido. Says it all.

But the end of season 'review' concluded that everything was OK - top coaching panel.

One little question !!!

If Ratten was to be sacked, who would be the one that would have to tell him ???????
