Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

I've seen this anxiety and mistake-free mentality under all three coaches of this era.

It's the players, not the game plan or any trust issues regarding the game plan. They don't trust each other out there consistently. They don't believe in themselves.

If Mick gets sacked it needs to be because he has communicated this to them and they have not responded to how he has communicated it. You can't sack him because they're soft and have been for the better part of 8 years, and doing so would likely force a board spill through sheer outrage.

The stuff that is going on onfield would have been the same if Synbad was president.

He was all for the coaching change in 2012 and would not hear a bad word about the players. Mick was going to turn them into guns.

Spot on

You're in favour of sacking him then?

I can't believe he said Melbourne were good.. Surely that's it

This is the key

We were told he would get the best out of those on the list

He would make Carlton a team that was hard to play against.

A defensively focussed team.

He would get them playing to their ability.

It is clear there are many talented players on the list who have gone backwards since MM came on board

A challenge to the board has to be on the cards don't it?

Keep on sacking coach's until we find one our soft cock players like...

I am one of those.

Also the opposite is happening. Those who said it wasn't the players it was the coach at the end of 2012 are now saying it is the players.

Actually I thought there might be more outrage in this thread but I think almost everybody is just not interested enough to get angry.

There is point where mm has to take up the slack but I am not sure you can blame him fully at this point
More worrying is cripps quick enough for afl?

I told you all and got....."Its only round2"......Seriously though, We are a rabble at the minute...No Mick we are not at 11o'clock.....Never where...
Mick has got turn this bunch around thier minds ( between the ears) are shot.
Have to persist in playing the youth, with experience hopefully get some matches into them...Sure we gonna get beat, but hopefully we unearth some gems & rid ourselves of players that arent up to it....

Any news on Menzel?

That's because the big group of people who said "it's the players 100%, not Mick" just had a massive wake up call.

100% with you. It's about pleasing them isn't it. They are pathetic, almost the whole team, we have so many hacks in that team it ain't funny. The players are crap, they'd struggle to follow any game plan.
Sacking the recruiters makes more sense to me.
