surely its time for Liam Jones to go back to the ressies. everything he does is a hail mary. he flashes into play for a millisecond, inevitably doesn't get the ball, and is left sprawled on the ground while the opposition take the ball away. dumb dumb footballer

Mark Stevens might get punched out if he rocks up to the CFC press conference.

Personally I hope some of the players front it without Mick and face the music. They deserve a solid bake.

Walker should be dropped for weeks.

Something isn't right there. So far off the player that one our B&F last year.

Scratching my head over the Jones selection. Not sure what was seen in him.

Never forget we picked murphy at 1 and pies picked pendlebury at 2 - says it all

Thomas was picked #2.

Anyone would have picked Murphy in that draft.


Murphy is a quality player but that doesn't necessarily make him a great captain.

Anyone who says they're going to microwave their membership coz the board is useless and the club is stuffed is getting carried away in the moment. The board and all other off field matters will change in time. Culture change is not a week to week proposition.
Fry the memberships because we're rubbish on the field if you like, but doing because of the off field doesn't make any sense at this point.

I think his fitness has kicked in right when I predicted, but like others he has wilted in terms of his attacking instinct under the current environment.

Started the season with half-a-dozen underdone players and we have tanked any form we might have had coming in because of it.

He wasn't great but he was finding himself continuously between dropping back in midfield and trying to provide an option on the spread. There were worse out there.

I can't believe we have become what we've become following Ratten. FMD. FFS, they moved Ratten on because they didn't believe he had the tools to take the team to a premiership. They move to get Mighty Mick the Muppet.

The players have no style, no passion, and no soul. That's about as dire as you can get. Is this by design? Absolutely shambolic. You cannot allow this to continue without taking action. If you do, we'll disappear into oblivion - if we haven't already.

Happy record breaking effort Mick :roll:

:mad:

It's hard to forget something that didn't happen. Actually, it's hard to remember it too.

Sorry thomas at 2 and pendlebury at 5 - just as bad. At least we then picked kennedy at 4 and that went well. Memories.........

Dear Mr Ratten,

I apologise on behalf of the carlton football club for your dismissal several years ago. Clearly it was the wrong decision.

What made it worse was the poor 'process' we used to find your replacement.

Dont even know where to start so I am not even going to bother. Just don't care anymore.

Also had never left early during all the dark times but left at half time this time. Cannot take it any further.

Only old enough to remember from 2000 onwards, at least in mid-2000's we had hope, but now there is none.

Go @#$%&! yourself Carlton.

Mick stopping short of calling the players fakes in his press conference. Some strong words.
