It's time to embrace the draft. It seems no-one at Carlton wants to do that. Those days where you could buy players, buy coaches, buy success are GONE! GONE! GONE! The time has come not to hang it on the coach but to look within ourselves for the solutions to the problems we have. I'm annoyed; this has been driven by the media and people outside to within the club.

Take a breath Carlton. It's time to have a look at yourself. Brett Ratten was a SCAPEGOAT!

Last round Carlton made the final four for the first time.

Eventual premiers.

That's what I'm talking about!

As a general comment I agree with you ... but there's always free agency.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Free agency doesn't give you more money in the salary cap.

Forget Cloke. Get the best development coaches/staff in the game.

Would be about 6-700k cheaper and probably more effective.

Where are you pulling these figures from?

If these numbers plus the 79% who voted in the Age that Ratts shouldn't have been sacked are taken into account by the membership people, they are going to have to do some tap dancing to get people to sign on next year. There are a LOT of unhappy Blues people out there and I am one of them.

You may ne right BS, but wouldnt pay to much attention to that poll.

Effectively you are asking supporters of 17 other clubs Vote yes if Carlton made a good decision, vote no if you think they [REDACTED] up.

The details of the question were probably irrelevant.

This!! How do we know Cloke wont do an ACL in a NAB cup game next Feb!! Massive chunk of the cap on a flaky out of form forward that cant kick. I have enjoyed so much over the years watching him kick it out on the full from 30m out, please dont turn that laughter into sadness!!!

I voted no to Cloke but....

How did we know the exact same thing wouldn't have happened to Juddy?


His kicking has been a worry, but he has improved over the years.

Only four players have more goals and a better goal kicking percentage than Cloke this year.

Listening to Murphy on TFS last night... did anyone else get the impression that some players were against getting Cloke in that meeting they had?

It certainly didn't come across as the glowing endorsement that Jake Niall's article presented.

Probably get 50k membership next year......

Not signing up cos Brett 'Average' Ratten got the bullet???

I bet 50k plus...

Personally im not signing up till Sticks leaves

I thought he welcomed it but was trying hard not to show it before hes signed.
