I'd like to put in my two bobs worth. Butters and Thomas are fueding and one did go, but also let's remember not everyone gets along. Rumour has it that that saga hasn't ended either.

For what it's worth, someone should step in and get DP and BM to act like grown men and clear up any misunderstandings.

I personally think that Mitchell did not try to unseat Pagan. He was told that the job was up for grabs by Smorgan ,so he put together a presentation. The vacancy fell through for some unknown reason which we all still don't know why and BM was left holding the baby - a scapegoat.

For all we know he thinks the world of Pagan but did what was asked of him, and who wouldn't if you knew that your bosses job was up for grabs; and you had some qualification for it, and were asked to apply. He did nothing wrong an did not undermine DP as far as I can see.

RP should get them in a room and mediate at least a workable understanding between them. Instead of playing 'I know nutzing!', MM should also do something constructive.

As DP says, 'Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining." No more games. Honesty, decency and maturity has to see through this and these men have to talk for the good of the club.

Something has to be sorted out now.

has mitchell really done that good a job?

there is so much talk is that mitchell is some type of coaching god.
yeah there have been some players who have progressed under his guidence but there are just as many who have failed

mitchell has been an assistnt coach since 1997
bullants senior coach since 2004


here are some carlton listed players that spent a lot of time under mitchell but he was not able to turn them into afl footballers

Daniel BATSON
Jess D. SMITH
Justin DAVIES
BECKER, Nick
PLEMING, Sam
blake campbell
cameron croad

im sure people can name just as many who have done well, but i have not included the likes of prendergast & sporn who spent a lot of time with the bullants.

if mitchell is so good, why is he still an assistant after 10 years in the system?

Problem is, it's both too late and too early to sack him.

The time was at the end of last season. And the time will be either halfway through this season, or at this season's end.

Yes... Smorgon and his band of merry morons screwed this one up, but thankfully we won't have to put up with their idiocy any longer.

On a side note, the AFL has a very big problem in my opinion. Its heartland, Victoria, is suffering as we all - melbourne, carlton, collingwood, Essendon*, richmond, st kilda supporters - wonder just what the hell our odds are of actually being able to win a flag in this competition.

I'd suggest that if you follow a victorian team, your odds are probably closer to 1:35 than 1:16.

Makes following a team like the Melbourne Victory a lot more appealing, doesn't it?

Rounds 1 - 3 season 2007

Richmond, geelong , Essendon* .. we can win 2 or even all of these .. no worries

its a great draw to start with actually .. a real litmus test .. lets face it , only the 4 points count in the end

no-one ever raves about a great board meeting ! .. or sings the song with gusto after training .. its the flower 4 points up for grabs every week that will make and break a clubs season

the time is now .. time for the players to show the way .. whatever it takes to get the 4 points .. the old boys in the board room cant do it for them

its time for the professional athletes chosen to play for this club, having been given the best possible training and coaching our staff can provide, to show the people like me who buy a membership, who give up their weekends to get to the game in the hope that Carlton are in the winners list this week .. the desire that is needed to take home those 4 points

i expect to be in the 8 after round 3 ... from then on its down to injuries, form and all the other things that face every other club , ever other year

so come on lapps, kouta, fev, murf, tbird, carlos, walks, stevo, simmo and each and every one of the 22 that pull on the cfc jumper at game time .. do it for yourselves, do it for the 4 points

the recovery will happen .. 4 points at a time !!

.. go blues ..
