As stated in the media, sacking Rats and appointing Malthou$e will cost plenty. I'm not sure why the geniuses at the club gave ratten a two year contract or didn't include a get out clause if we didn't make the eight: now it's time to show some integrity and honour it. Should have thought about...
I don't post often and it's taken me until now to get a bit less angry about the game against the suns.
Despite what we individually think about Ratts, it was down to the players on the weekend and they let the coach and every supporter down.
Ratts and every supporter deserves an apology from...
No one doubts Ratten's courage and skill as a player. It's his coaching we're talking about. I love his passion (which has been criticised) for the club and his charges. Seeing him in the rooms last night after the Collingwood match making a point of going up to each and every player speaks...
Thankfully we have Brock on our list this year. His game last night was great. Sure he's not flashy or quick, but he does the hard stuff. His disposals were first rate last night and he'll be playing a few more games before the end of the season.
Back to the question 'Would the Dees take Brock...
Barry Prendergast is probably one of the worst recruiting managers of the past decade. Prior to crossing to Melb in 2008 he was at North Melbourne and their list is pretty $h1te.
He's now at Carlton as the 'opposition analyst'. He couldn't analyse tea leaves.
Back on topic, we need Goddard...
No excuses.
You came, you saw, you kicked our @$$, it's that simple.
I've been around long enough to know that games against the bombers can surprise. Good win, I can't think of many key positions (if any) that we won. Look forward to the re-match.
A bit of perspective is needed. Collingwood in my opinion still has one of the best playing lists in the comp and every team has injuries to deal with, just look at Hawthorn and Carlton last year. Collingwood had a dirty night no doubt, but no need for crisis talks.
Carlton are a top four team...
After a very long hiatus, it's all coming together. We're arguably the fittest team in the comp, the game plan is coming together beautifully, and, for the first time in what seems like an eternity, we have some depth. The fact that other supporters hate us just makes it so much sweeter. We're...
Sam Rowe looks like the mature recruit that you rightly pointed out that we require.
Top four finish is the Blues minimum requirement next year , and questions will be asked if it isn't achieved as we easily have the third best list in the comp after Geelong and Collingwood.
What really...
A fine man from a very fine family. The people of Cork (including a lot of women) were sorry to see Setanta leave Ireland for Australia.
We will rue the day, when he kicks five or six against us!
Go ne-eiri an t-adh leat Setanta - Carlton's loss.
You don't want Fev. There's plenty more that wasn't reported. He was given a lifeline by Brisbane and still didn't change. Can't imagine that the culture at St Kilda will bring out his good side.
If twirling a scarf makes you a w***er, Essendon must have a few!
Re the game, injuries really impact and you guys have had a few. I have always respected the way Essendon goes about its business. Plenty to look forward to if your an Essendon supporter. Let's hope for a Carlton v Essendon...
Up at 6:30 a.m. this morning in Geneva to tune into the game via AFL Live.com. What a fantastic performance by the Carlton Football Club.
There have been a few doubters re Ratt's coaching, but today's effort by our boys (including Ratts) surely puts any doubts to rest. I hope Ratts gets signed...
What makes our game so great is that I can go to an Essendon / Carlton game and sit with my mate who is an Essendon supporter. We can both support our teams, and, at the final siren, turn to each other, congratulate and commiserate. We are fortunate to be able to do that.
I have respect for...
Here's a thought. Hope that Melbourne come out and play great football. You have some skilful players, some great youngsters etc. Sure, the game last weekend was a blight, but you (and I) know your team is better than that. Hope that they show it against Carlton (and in the other games this...
For me, the game is all positive.
There is no doubting that Geelong is a very good side. It wasn't the best week to play against Geelong and the game against Geelong was a big test for us.
We're the real deal this year and we're going to cause many sides a few problems.
Hopefully, as the...
I was at both those games Bluesque. To his credit, Justin Murphy, then at Geelong, gave the dog Milburn an absolute spray on the bench.
From memory filth were up at half time in the Magro / Jezza game and after Magro ironed him out just in front of the old souvenir stand, Blues came back after...
The tag 'legend' gets thrown around all too often these days.
Bob Davis is a gold plated legend.
He gave much much more to the game and the community than he ever took - R I P.
condolences to to all Geelong supporters.
