Tonight was as bad as I have seen. I know we didn't expect much but it can't be tolerated.

We know the list is poor but there is more to it.

I keep hearing how Trigg says we won't strip the list back. IMO we need to.

McKay conducts a review of the football department. IMO he's as bad as anyone there. It should be independant

We are chasing a new coach and going through a process. Good, but what about every other position at the club?

We are broke, another year of financial loses. How do we attract top players and staff when we have no money?

Membership is dropping and getting worse. It will get even worse now.

Where is the President and the board? In the end they are responsible and have been for more than a decade.

I am sorry but I can't see things improving, we will do some patch work, give a little bit of hope but will not make it anywhere to the top or even become a powerhouse again. IMO we are the Fitzroy of the 2000's.

I really fear for this club.

Not probably.

But after tonight it may now get buried on a Tuesday afternoon.

we need to remove every single piece of memorabilia from the club and not bring it back until we have a cup. I'm sick of the pathetic way we live in the past.

Living in the past.

- The Jumper
- the "Back to the 90's" theme for the night
- the "We're Carlton" mentality.

This club needs a full clean-out.

:lol:

Let's not go full-blown conspiracy theory here. Hopefully if this is a directive to be as bad as is plausible then this needs to be subtly communicated to every possible future employee of the club.

I suggested taking every trophy we own and sellng it at the markets one weekend .

They have become an anchor we have to carry.

Went down well.

Things CAN change quickly - but you need the mentality and understanding how to change it - we don't have that. We have arrogance and a foolish assumption that it just will change because "Were Carlton".

I get the feeling the president, CEO and SOS realise that, not so sure about the board though.
