Or maybe the players are distracted by not knowing if mick and assistants will be there next yr

He's been a disaster since day one (when he was off selling books).

One of the stupidest coaching appointments of all time. Perhaps the worst?

i thought he would be good for us, i thought he was making progress

i am groffunger, i am an idiot, i was wrong

mick is hopeless, so far behind the modern game thinking, too set in his ways to change

we are doomed , big hole to dig out of

They're not fit.

They run, support and break lines for a qtr and that's it.

Buttifant should have some explaining to do.

just think, we could have let ratten run out his contract, and made a run at roos.

i'm pretty sure our 13 board members would have ruined roos too. but still.

roos wasnt coming here

Malthouse is ultimately responsible for the preparation of the players for the 22 games.

This group of players isn't anywhere near conditioned adequately re skills fitness or mental application.

Fail.

and he is responsible for the playing group. with the board responsible for him.. and ratten.. and sticks.. and hughes.. ad rogers.. and mckay

hows mckay trvelling do you reckon??

in my opinion the club needs to set up a think tank.......

I assume it was watermelon cruisers

I've given every coach a clean slate to work from, optimistic since I thought (hoped) it would be an improvement on the previous one, putting blind faith in the powers that be

People are fools if they honestly believe they could predict the ensuing disasters after the Pagan, Ratten and Malthouse appointments

I supported these three until I could no longer. I'm at the point where I am about to give up on the MM appointment.

Our biggest mistakes were letting Brittain and Lyon go when we had them here.

Elliott, Collo, Pagan, Hughes, Rogers, Pratt, Matheson, Sticks, Ratten, Swann, McKay have all played their part in the crumbling empire
MM appears to be the icing on the cake...but wait, there's MLG, SOS and ? to go on this cake of misery

Everyone likes to knife Malthouse but this just highlights the crap we have on our list. It is a wake up call that has been going on for decades. He has turned over the list and it is going to take a lot longer than people want to admit. How many really tried last night? You could count them on one hand. I am sick of everyone blaming the coach. The players can think, they can get off their arse and bleed and run and fight.

Oh yeah rabbit?
Well how do you explain Paul Roos and Melbourne?
An even worse player/ board culture than ours..
But somehow.
Wow..the players now have passion and drive
Also a few gòod recruiting choices
As opposed to ours.
Sure its not all the coach..
But hey..

How many taggers does Mick want in our midfield?

carrots, curnow, ellard, bell, everitt and now white??!!

at the stoppages last night even murphy and gibbs were going to a man, rather then to space where the ball could go. ie taking a man with them.

this defensive mindset ... we're tagging ourselves out the game.

meanwhile both betts and garlett are running through the middle at their clubs and looking half-decent at it in the process.
