It's the culmination of years and years of mediocrity
The coach is only part of that

So lets see:

we're sick and frustrated with insipid losses and refuse to take it anymore so.....we sack Pagan and appoint Ratten

A bit of progress but we get sick of not being able to progress through finals so we sack Ratten and get Malthouse

Now we're sick and frustrated with insipid losses and refuse to take it any more so .....we're going to sack Malthouse and appoint ?????

Rise, cycle repeat!! The death spiral of mediocrity!

The comments really annoy me. What is a "true" fan?

People are frustrated, they are emotional, that is what following a football club is like for a lot of people and as such they react in different ways. For this once great club it is hard to handle.

Argue the pro's and con's but everyone has the right to protest (peacefully) in their own way.

When was the last time members were given a chance to vote on a board member? These board members keep being appointed but i don't remember voting any in.

Why are you asking for my membership when you're threatening to boycott your own? Lol

I m not saying not to voice your opinion, or not send off letters to the board or the CEO or whoever.
Hell, I'm even hoping that some sort of Ticket can be formed to challenge the idiots on our current Board.
But to threaten the Club with a 'do this or that, or I wont renew my membership' I think, isn't the right way of doing things.

If you are going to use your membership as a bargaining chip, Mick's isn't the head you ask for.
Ask for a full spill of the board and I'll sign your petition.

Or we can sack Mick, sign Worsfold and send off another premiership coach with a shattered reputation, by that stage Paul Roos will be available and we can do that again. Then Ross Lyon. We can do this forever and ever

Lets say the club istens to your email and sack Mick (who is gone regardless).

Then the board will say, "We did what you wanted, now get behind us". And they'd be right

All l am saying is l wont be signing up next yr if the flog is still at the club next yr. l paid my 6-700 during the pagan years and l accepted that. Went to majority of home games. We knew we were in a rebuild. What is going on this yr is beyond belief. To imply l am not a true supporter is a bit ....

I just wont put up with my money going in to his pocket while he delivers nothing. l hope the club makes a decision soon.

and last time l checked the board doesnt talk to thr players, dont design and implement the game plan and train the players. This is all on malthouse. the board gave him everything. His own assistants , his son, wood and the pies fitness coach. Sure the board is flower but dont confuse the onfield with offield matters

The fact that these assistants are there enforces why Mick should go. He is responsible for the quality of the FULL coaching staff. Ours is absolute rubbish and a major factor for our current state.

To be honest, I would rather the club spend it's time dealing with their on field problems rather than letters from supporters. Waste of time.

I have not read one letter but do you really think your thoughts on the club are going to be a revelation to them? If it's about you letting off steam, you are are just adding fuel to your own fire.

No one is happy about where we are.

Good post Goltz.

We should look at each separately, but also as one of the same.
2 wrongs dont make a right.

Problem One: The Coach and his Coaching team.
The players are not playing for the coach.
The coaches game plan is questionable every week.
There is no link between the midfield coaches inside and outside players, or players behind them (backs) or in front of them (forwards).
The players are underprepared, and fade in the 2nd half on a regular basis.

Trigg is just an employee. For all we know, he probably agrees with the sentiment of the supporters. On the other hand, the ivory tower folk...NFI



Trigg ABSOLUTELY agrees, he wants MM OUT!!

The entire board could resign on mass and it won't make one bit of difference to how we play.
Our problem is coaching . If tge board is to be held accountable the question needs to be asked why did they appoint a bloke that Eddie sacked and why did they give him free reign on running the football department.
The board needs to answer this and needs to remedy it very quickly

I haven’t yet renewed my memberships for myself, wife, son and 5 grandchildren. Have thought seriously about not renewing but will probably pay up. Am considering writing to the club advising that I have been a loyal supporter through the tough times but will seriously reconsider my memberships next year if a proper process is not undertaken to select the next coach.
I don’t like watching our team play with the lack of enthusiasm under Mick, but haven’t got a problem with him seeing out his contract til end of year – it will secure us a good draft pick. My only concern is that if the players are not playing for him will it cause some to seek opportunities elsewhere?
