Daisy will be fine give him 8 weeks

We got him because we need run and heart he has both

We've played off in 2 GFs since 1988, 2, 1 flag in 18 years, things have been poor for a generation, compounded by poor drafting, poor finances, poor management , this 'we're Carlton @#$%&! the rest' attitude.

We have consistently failed to grasp modern footy in all it's guises.

Contrast with Hawthorn, 60'000 bloody members 3 GFs in 6 seasons, more $ than you can poke a stick at. And they nearly went under 20 years ago.

Sticks should have gone ages ago and taken Swann with him. We are a laughing stock.

That's not the point - his contract hamstrings the clubs ability to improve the list in the long term.

In: Wood, Cripps, Holman, Watson, Casboult, Temay, Armfield

Mick Martin - Thomas
Elshaw - Wiley
That nth melb fitness guy - Butters

Who is going to play the role of Angwin in our current crop?

Don't think it was that...pies would have looked after Thomas if he wanted to finish his career at collingwood.

Don't worry, as we Speak Swan is busy behind the scenes trying to head hunt Daicos, Monkhurst, Starcevich and McGuane for permanent board appointments....

actually im not a cherry picker
ratts had to go because he had no idea.
stcks has to go because he has no idea
the recruiters have to go because they have no idea
the development has to go because they have no idea
the Oligarchs have to go because they have no idea
The patsies on the board have to go because they have no idea.
the ceo has to go because he has no idea
the footy manager has to go because he has no idea.
Capuano has to go because he has no idea
barker has to go because he has no idea.
all coaches must go becausr they have no idea...


i always said that.. there is no cherry picking there,

malthouse wont turn rookies into a silky skilled team...
and he wont turn a group of elitist players who are spoilt into blokes who are hungry...

thats just how it is.

but u cannot tell me mm has no record ...or denis

u see its the club culture

stop wishing it was something else... were stkilda now... accept it.

oh and some dude that works for the club tried to taunt me into eaving this place and not posting as im not a healthy poster... in his opinion... im poisoning minds and the club is on the up.

he knows who he is..

and no its not a poster...

not only that but another guy that works for the club called me friday to tell me the same thing...
he said
"you wouldnt even be happy if we won the flag! "

is he for real????

hate the sycophant mentality more than anything...
blokes who are around the club who feel they have to get involved because of some kind of loyalty to people at the club and not the club....

GAGF!!!!... you both know im right and youre wrong!!!

think there are a few thinking the same

witches hats

Ratten spent several years implementing a modern possession based gameplan that the players sometimes struggled with but adapted to. Many of the best teams (Geelong and Hawthorn particularly) employ it. Predictability in set up, precise use of the footy and maintaining possession at all costs.

Malthouse brought back the bomb it long to the boundary theory which means even when we get inside 50, we can't kick straight.

I don't absolve the players but we have gone backwards under Malthouse. Big time.

Don't give me apologies for Malthouse either. He got all he wanted from the administration and sold himself on the "we had a great list" bandwagon.

Feel for Ratts. History may remember him better than his club did.

Where's kouta!?

The revolt must start tomorrow. Sticks cannot be allowed to stay Pres any longer. Piss Gibbs off to whoever is silly enough to pay him the $700k and take the Captaincy off Murphy. Our coaching box is like Dad's army with Mick and Wiley too.......

Clearly the 2nd worst team in the AFL. Dogs are ahead of us now

Couldn't see the game but saw that people unhappy about bringing Carrots back too early. On the age website he lead the game for clearances contested possessions and handbills. Did he play ok or was he rubbish?

This is the most interesting thing you have posted.

That's incredible.

You're exposing the amateur managers for what they are (if only you included the coach too )

I disagree that Ratts was up to it; but besides that I think you've summed it very nicely (as usual)
