We're officially Richmond. A season and 3 games in and we turn on the coach.

He didn't recruit Rowe, Ellard, Bell, Curnow, White or Tuohy or even Robinson. Try hard plodders the lot of them. That's 1/3 of our team! Plodders! Nothing special about them. Can't hit targets, miss easy goals, fumble, drop chest marks.... We recruit these guys and then we blame the coach?

We're probably better off with this one.

I was happy to see MM appointed coach. I thought he could be the one to turn our team into a hard, well drilled, committed outfit. I didn't think we had the players to win a flag, we lacked depth, but with MM in charge in 2013 he would start to turn things around, weed some out, develop others, perhaps make top four in 2014. Then 2015/2016 I could dare to dream of a flag.

I was wrong. The players look confused, lacking in confidence, for better or worse they don't seem to believe in MM, they haven't bought into his coaching. The fact MM trotted off on his book tour worried me. How committed was he? Recruiting Daisy and Wood concerned me, it smacked of nepotism. The playing of unfit/underdone players, a lack of willingness to play and develop promising youngsters, both last year and this year. It seemed like MM was more worried about how he looked why as a coach in the here and now, rather than turning Carlton into a force for the future. And it has all blown up in his face.

We can't afford to get rid of you Mick, but your appointment has been a horrible mistake. Too old, too set in your ways, the football world has passed you by. You should have stayed in retirement.

sure we can afford to get rid of him.... we are owned by oligarchs

are these guys tight arses???
didnt thy sweep him into the job????

hey greg lee...... do u still believe we dont need an independent review of the club you fool???
(he told the unofficiaal selectors .. we dont in a pre agm meeting with a handfull of the unofficials and half the bard including our great prez)

greg lee quite agressively told them we dont need one
sticks and the meeting half a dozen board members assured them top 4 this year.... :thumbsup:

with every week.... more and more people are siding against you.. you idiots!!!

Better list than Ratts had and turned it into shit.

Why would you give him good players.??

You can always sack the coach, you see, we can't take the other decisions back. :cool:

Effes this is a club problem.
If people don't understand that.
You don't understand the basics.
You can bring any coach in at this point... It's all over red rover for the next few years.
The have changed a few years ago and we didn't evolve with it.

Everything about the club us outdated.
This is a club that's being and has been ground into the dust.
I understand people are angry as the reality sets in.
But no coach can turn this club around without the exterminators moving into the club for the fumigation at the top.


King cherry picker... :smoking:

You can the board (which I agree with) yet you reckon the same group of amateurs are onto a winner appointing MM. Strange logic.

I am sure of it...you will come around...you started off supporting Pagan (I did too).



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???? :screwy: :screwy:

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!!!



This is seriously disturbing news.

So people within the club, not content with maintaining mediocrity, also think it's fine to oppress those who try to speak truth to power. I'm disgusted.

Like any club, we already have the official 'everything is rosy' puff pieces. But, not content with that, club employees have to try and control voices on an unofficial supporters' forum who, especially in these frustrating times, want to have a good old and quite often informative vent.

If the people in question are reading this thread now, have a good f*#kin look at yourselves and take your offensive undemocratic attitudes elsewhere - let someone else have a crack at doing your job responsibly.

Unbelievable.

Well tonight pretty much proved that a ruckman who wins every knock out and does nothing round the ground is not worth two draft picks or whatever he is being paid. Clubs fault not Warnocks but he is a last millennium player. The Bombers had no ruckmen and half the time Warnocks hit outs were shared by Daniher or Carlyle. Warnock dominated the ruck and was utterly ineffective.

Kernahan should resign/retire now an emergency meeting should happen and the keys should be given a all appointed manager to oversee the remainder of the year whilst a clear pathway is found

On radio they said we'd only get pick 19 or 20 for him as free agent. Rather keep him if that's all we'll get.

Sadly feel now that an 81 pt loss will do us more good than an honourable 3 goal loss

only one thing will help

a full indie report of the club if needed

and then follow that up with the broom from top to bottom

anything else wont work

the portrait of dick pratt in the boardroom doesnt help anything either....please take that down....its as embarassing as jeannie on the board as vp



Therein lies the problem. Who will initiate a review?
The caretaker president?
The VP using us as a social club?
Or the self serving board?

They won't fall on their own swords.

We can only hope this loss is an instigator....or media pressure! I'm doubtful of both.



Fortunately I had $100 on Essendon* +39.5 tonight paying 3.85 - the largest bet I had ever placed in my life. I had never been more certain of a bet in my life...and I needed something to dull the pain of what was to occur. I knew exactly what this team was capable of. Hopefully a few more people within the club now know too

Better "flowering" them up than not giving a sh*t and not trying. :cool:

43 hit outs... 5 possessions... 1 mark... against a team with no ruck

Terrible player... elevate Wood ffs :oops:

So

I ventured to the G this evening. My first game for the year. I had seen the last quarter against power when we didn't touch the ball, and the last 4 minutes of the Richmond game when all of my partners cheered every Richmond touch and irrespective of allegiance sang that @#$%&! song so loud I had to step outside.

I had low expectations, indeed I did not expect victory.

But that was without a whimper.

There is no heart. They don't care. And if they don't care, then why should I.

In fact, in vain, I hoped for a 100 point loss. Surely Mic and Sticks would have to go then! Alas, they could not even do that properly.

Bottom 4. At best.

The only positive is I don't have to care. Squibbs can @#$%&! off to Adelaide, and the rest wherever. Thank god I saved my money.

It is hard to walk away from something you have believed in for a long time. But this ain't entertainment. It isn't fun. And it sure as shit aint something one looks forward to.

Oh yeah. And it's Sunday night and I have to go to work.

@#$%&! them all.

Synbad you should name the guy who called you. It's bullshit that they can possibly do that. I'm struggling to believe it actually.
