Well frankly, most of you need schooling.
I’m serious. Our younger players are being put under pressure of a kind that would not ordinarily occur for them at this very early stage of their development.
Do u not get that?
Some will survive but others will be increasingly defeated. Weitering is a prime example.
Are there any female supporters who get this?
Most of the vocal males seem to have no idea.
Having just read the last couple of pages of this thread I can see a minority of posters who are responding just as I knew some would when it got a little bit tough this year.
I questioned at the time of Bolton's appointment if all of our supporters would have the stomach for the full rebuild which was promised by him, SOS & the board. Right on cue those who don't have the stomach for it want another coach's scalp, a board challenge & the right to throw their toys out of their cot. 4 coach sackings in 13 years was obviously not enough to appease these supporters.
I asked at the time of Malthouse's sacking how many more sackings will it take for the club to realise you need to give your coach the cattle to work with before you can properly assess their work. Yet despite our playing list being horribly unbalanced, with a lack of quality players in the 24-28 age group, some would have you believe that sacking the coach will suddenly resolve this issue. A new coach will apparently make superstars out of O'Shea, Mullett, Shaw, Graham, Lamb, Kerridge & Wright.
My brain hurts.
wut?

Just the way JaB likes itIf it's anything like last week I'm tipping the game day thread will have some mongrel in it.
What would you want MLG to say that Liddle doesn't already say in said media outlets?
If you want him to say we are shit, it's not going to happen.
If you want him to criticise the players, it's not going to happen.
If you want him to criticise the coach, it's not going to happen.
If you want him to criticise SOS, it's not going to happen.
MLG has been generous with his time at a number of club functions, speaking to ordinary fans one on one. Politicians would call it 'pressing the flesh'. I would rather he be doing this than treading on Liddle's territory & I would certainly prefer Judd doing much of the footy media stuff as a board representative because not only is he good with the media stuff, but he has a greater knowledge of the game than any of the media nuff nuffs who are coming after our club.
preeshate et.......It appears you need schooling most of all. It's spelled what...w-h-a-t, what.
As in, 'What does that nuffy have to do to get banned?'
Why would the CEO, who was endorsed by the Boardbefore he spoke to the media, think that it was sound governance practice to make a chest thumping decision about not asking for a PP before the season was far from over?Well they ****** up potentially big time with the no PP statement. Why would I be applauding their efforts?
They screwed up the women's team, why would I be applauding their efforts?
As you'll note I'm not calling for anyone to resign or be fired, simply questioning how they go about things.
We have our own media outlets that are directed at only Carlton fans. Very easy to connect with fans through that. Hardly whoring oneself to the media in this day and age.
Have you read 'Mein Kampf'?If I get too Bolshy about it I’ll get another warning from Aphrodite.

David Koresh is above reading and takes direction only from God himself..Have you read 'Mein Kampf'?
It's another approach you could take.
May I be so impertinent to ask this question?Surely we all came into this year knowing it was going to be a slog. No Gibbs, no Doc, interrupted pre seasons for many of the guys expected to shoulder the load or at least step up, namely Kennedy, Lang, SPS, McKay, Cuningham and obviously Williamson. A mile behind the eight ball before a ball was bounced.
Compounding that...Murph and Marchbank never got going, Kreuzer has carried injury throughout, Levi missing plenty, Plow in cotton wool, Byrne MIA, the depth falling away with the likes of Macreadie, Phillips, Lobbe, Le Bois and others missing multiple weeks. You couldn't plan a more perfect shitstorm.
Anyone who can acknowledge all of the above and still wonder what became of the game plan might just be a jot unreasonable.
With our limited depth and lack of senior bodies our margin for error was always slim to non existent this year. There simply isn't the ability in the 22 guys running out each week to execute a game plan for a quarter, much less a match. It doesn't excuse lack of effort like last week, but it's pretty clear why we aren't moving the ball or structuring up like in the pre season.
Add in Doc, maybe 3 or so off the injury list, maybe another 2-3 via draft, trade and FA...going to be a very different team lining up on a Thursday night in March next year.
I have been warned about making personal attacks. That comment is a personal attack. I trust that Aphrodite will issue you with a warning.Have you read 'Mein Kampf'?

how bad has this place regressed in the past couple of months - posters are making secret group-threads to avoid the kooks - that's how bad
Secret group threads - hmm very interestinghow bad has this place regressed in the past couple of months - posters are making secret group-threads to avoid the kooks - that's how bad
just what I heard in the my favourite pony secret group-thread
Why would the CEO, who was endorsed by the Boardbefore he spoke to the media, think that it was sound governance practice to make a chest thumping decision about not asking for a PP before the season was far from over?
After he and the Board made that statement the team’s performance deteriorated further!
Some media commentators are now comparing us to Fitzroy in the 90’s.
On Footy Classified Chris Judd, a board member, sought to justify the no PP announcement on the ground that “we will not get a PP so why waste the energy on asking for one”.
If Chris Judd was a barrister I wouldn’t want him defending me.
As of yesterday Denis Pagan, who owes no allegiance to Carlton these days and who is a North Melbourne elder, said that the AFL must give Carlton a PP.
The current board is of suspect quality.
If I get too Bolshy about it I’ll get another warning from Aphrodite.
