I am praying for a 100+ Loss so we can finally see the back of this useless Coach that is quickly building a reputation for himself for ruinning the Careers of Young Promising Players!

I’m not sure random capitalisation improves the strength of your argument.

I’m not sure why so many people are bagging Crippa. He may not be winning the Brownlow this year but he is probably leading our B&F. He may not be up to his usual standard but he is still one of the best in the competition at what he does.
The onus is on the coaching group to use him in the best way. And he may be trying to do too much but he’s not Robinson Crusoe there and at least he is trying to do something!

Oh, and I think there is an independent nominations committee which is supposed to recommend new Board members to the Board but I don’t know who they are and don’t believe it is transparent. I am a member and have been for a long time. However, I don’t think only paid up members can express their opinions. Yes, you must be paid up to vote but only a very small percentage of members show up to vote. And I also don’t think that paying more money should entitle you to have veto rights as has often been the case - and the problem - at Carlton.
And, you can very seriously influence the direction of the club by withholding your membership and in many cases that may be the final straw for sacking a coach - if continuing with the coach means too many members dropping off.
Also, the players don’t pay membership fees and they have a very strong influence on club decisions by their actions on and off the field.
Most importantly, TC is NOT the Board. It is an open group for all of us to express our views. Am I wrong?

I’m looking forward to seeing a Hewett chase the lions half backs out of defence to stop their run and transition.

No it doesn't, it just means I am piss angry about what i am typing & saying!

The quicker we get rid of him & many more, the better we can start a proper re-build. I know GH is going to wait until end of year before doing anything serious, it's just painful to watch.

We have wasted another year completely before it even began!

i disagree. scrolling down the page, it really grabbed me by the lapels and smacked me in the chops.

i'm sold.

I do wonder how they're gonna work the second ruck.

McKay is the obvious choice for centre-bounces, and, honestly, I don't mind him having a spell in there. I think it gets him involved.
Otherwise, as we've seen this year, it's just a question of 'can you jump high off two steps?' - so with that in mind, only McGovern really fills the criteria. But I can't see him doing any centre bounce work against Draper or Fort...

Around the ground it's either McKay or Cripps. My concern there is that we go down the line to the talls too often, and I cannot see Cripps beating his opponent in the air.

We have selected a heck of a lot of players who can take their turn as a running defender -Saad, Florent, Wilson, Williams, Cowan, Newman... Hollands... So I hope we have big plans to utilise this somehow, at least in rotating some of these guys up the ground a bit.

I don't think we'll win, but we have a weirdly positive record against Brisbane. Not neccesarily in the win-loss column, but in recent memory, there have been games where we have held our own for long periods against a very good side. They're just one of those teams who we match-up okay against.

You mean we might hold our own for the entire first half?

Ideally McKay takes the centre bounces and Pittonet starts at FF, then Pittonet takes the around the ground contests while Harry drifts forward. However Pittonet can only spend 50% of the game on the ground.

Why can’t the resting ruckman rest on the bench? Does he need to be on the ground.

That way Pitti can have his 60% game time and Harry 40%
