Carlton + Malthouse = NIGHTMARE!

That performance would not have been tolerated by a team under Malthouse.
I understand that footy is an emotional game, and supporters are quick to blame the coach for poor performances, but our side is manically under performing. We are not playing anywhere near the standard we have set ourselves against Geelong and St Kilda. The simple fact is Malthouse demands a consistent effort- he eeks every last ounce of talent out of his playing list, while we consistently carry 6-7 players. This is fundamentally a coaching issue, NOT a talent issue.

We have waited 10 years to get our side to be consistent finals performers again. We have the list to be consistent finals performers, but we need the BEST coaches to get us there.

Our board has a duty of care to the members and supporters to sound out Malthouse for 2011. They are being derelict in their duty, as the executive of our football club, if they do not.

The old carlton would have been on the front foot trying to nail someone like malthouse or roos. We seem to be happy to be a middle of the road run club now days

Carlton + Ratten = Nightmare

Mate & I often comment with frustration at what Malthouse achieves with his teams.

More often than not he seems to get them into positions where they're at least a chance at the ultimate prize.

Since 2001 they've missed the finals only twice and played off in 2 GFs and also played in a cpl of prelims and this yr again look like challenging.

Fair to say during this time list wise they havent always had the talent of others.

I can tell you know - if the Carlton Football Club board approached Peter Sidwell (Malthouse's Manager) about Mick coming to Carlton next year - he would laugh in their face and before he hung up would tell them there wouldn't be enough money in all of China that would take Malthouse to Visy Park.

Find me a better alternative. C'mon..think it through. Doesn't matter if you're for Ratts or against - who would you like to see coaching Carlton? Who is out there who would instill confidence and great tactics and game plans to get this mob where a lot of you think we should be? While you're at it - name some assistants. Because getting rid of Ratten means you have to get rid of Riley and Bradley as well.

Finals last year, and again this year, fingers crossed, will hardly be a nightmare.
