People are going ape droppings calling for the board, the coach, and players to be shown the door, but this is only the beginning. There's so much of the season left, and we haven't played any teams of note yet.

If you think a 78 point drubbing at the hands of GWS is going to send you over the edge, I'd say take a break from all things football for the rest of this season. It just ain't worth an ulcer.


First seven games was an easy start. Only one top eight team from last year. Much harder tasks to come.

But ape droppings? Come on people. It's a game. Get a grip. It's paid entertainment. If you don't like it, change the channel.

I love it, personally. So much drama. So many drama queens.

The club is bleeding money...
It's bleeding members
It's bleeding credibility
It's bleeding self respect

The team is the easiest thing to fix if you can fix the club

We would have lost a million dollars in the last month I reckon.

You know I've, got it for years
Surely there must be a ticket out there strong enough to at least come forward with an alternative to the current board

Because today is the lowest ebb of the club
We all a should meet at the front of prinnie park this week sometime and demand the board walks

No he doesn't

The board need to do their job


Ideally, but MLG has already said that Mick will coach out his contract. So we need Mick to do the honourable thing, or MLG to go back on his word.



...and give up how many hundred thousand?

78 inside 50's

It should have been well over 100 points.

Won't make any difference about Mick.
Mark shouldn't have told the group they have nothing to play for.
Mark shouldn't have tipped that they're all going on the block

Don't worry..

The games we had a chance of winning are gone.
We will play kids now...
We are moving into our rebuilding phase
Mick or not the train crash will continue on in front of your very eyes...

Watch what happens from here.

Just keep in mind there's nothing coming through

Will be hard to knock over the Pratt's and the mathiesions in the financial state we are going to be .. Are
As a matter of fact this makes them stronger

Just wait and get a feel for the horror story that's going to be apparent soon

Our finances.....

Exactly...and the roll on effect is enormous.

You say people don't get what's going on at the club, I think most of us have a fair idea by now.

The issue is, the only things we can comment on with belief that they may change are the coach and the playing groups.

Outside of that it is a matter of blind faith, probably more like a few hail mary's.

See, people are saying its the lowest ebb of the club, commentators are saying the same thing, hell listening to ABC Grandstand Maclure was beside himself.

This is NOT the lowest ebb of the club, its only just the beginning unfortunately. Just understand now and prepare yourself for some REALLY bad times ahead for the Carlton Football Club.

I can't predict the future, Malthouse staying or going, what the board will do and so on, but one thing I am absolutely 100% certain of, we are in for one god awful 2015 season.

I'm prepared for the worst and expecting it. If we manage to scrap in a win or two great, but the realist in me says we're in for some REAL pain this year, and in all honesty, probably next year too.

Unless we call an emergency meeting and have 40000 members march to princess park with people like mark maclure at the front nothing will change

I really don't think most people really understand what's going to happen...
So my question is this.


Who truly believes the white knight theory with its layers of elitism and benefactors is a better idea than the the hundred thousand navy blue army that in complete unity takes control of this clubs destiny?

Why is it only we tried that model of fat cat benefactors?

The tricky bit is this... As the finances dwindle this club will move closer to the bosom of the oligarchs...

So we're further away in my opinion from change than people think..
But there comes a tipping point.
Somewhere in the horizon is a point where they go... But it's not yet.
They benefit from this...
Watch carefully news about our finances.. And watch what happens from there
