Doesn't hide his dislike for the tigers too well

What's happened to him? He hasn't been on 360 now for a few weeks?
Still does Grandstand commentary, might just be on the outer at Fox.

Laughed at this bit:
What a miserable place to work, you shank a kick and all your teammates give you the silent treatment.

They were winning flags, hardly a miserable place. Might of been for those who couldn’t keep up though. They went elsewhere to cruise obviously.

I think the flags they won probably had more to do with having the best recruitment zones in the comp rather than this absurd machismo culture.

Also had the big benefactors and treated the salary cap as joke for years.
Maclure is the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Makes at least one epic Carlton rant a year (along with plenty of mini ones) about their s***ness and it’s boring now.

Hall of Famer
No salary cap when Maclure played - Salary cap came in 1987.
Why do they ask him the same questions every goddamn week. He either whinges about Carlton when they lose, or rubs his legs together about them when they win.
It's a boring segment in an increasingly boring show.

In a world of mindless word drool from a vast range of imbeciles in the footy media, I like his straight forward approach to explaining why a team’s form is good or bad.

I haven't been watching the show much this year, as it's just too repetitive.
Is Maclure still doing Wednesday night's and is he getting better or worse?

Been doing Tuesday nights solo without King and for the past couple of months has generally been a post-mortem of Carlton.

He was terrible talking about carlton the other night. Was trying to make some comment about the culture when he played, players taking a stand and saying "I don't want to play with that bloke cos he's no good" and you could see Riewoldt just looking at him thinking, "you've got no idea mate, that was 40 years ago - that type of shit destroys cultures now."
Can you imagine if Walsh and Weitering went up to the coaches saying for example "get Gibbons out of the side, he's shithouse"

I was thinking the same thing at the time. He's also advocated drafting more blokes who get on the piss and find trouble late at night - "Blokes who you wouldn't want dating your daughter but love at your footy club."
He's an absolute fossil. Luckily I suspect Fox have realised this and only wheel him out when they need an old man to shake his fists at the clouds and have a whine whenever Carlton play like rubbish, have some controversy or are moving to sack a coach - which is still just about every other week.
The other side of that though is that none of them will possibly ever have success? McClure won flags and Riowoldt didn’t.
Things have definitely changed from 40 years ago, no doubt about that. It is individuals now instead of groups, players respond to only positive things and ignore the truth at all cost. Clubs have to walk a fine line trying to get the best out of players.
I don’t mind Maclure but that’s probably more because I like hearing things as they are and I am not a sugar coating bloke. But you are right that it won’t ever be as it was back then again So no real point continuing to tell us. We know it worked but it won’t work with this generation.

Yeah sorry it was Jack Riewoldt - 3 flags.
Yes mate, worked that out now.

Looks like AFL360 have given him the flick. A few weeks in and hasn't been on this year.

Without Carlton being crap he's no longer got any use.
Maybe they have realised that there is only room for 1 bald, rambling fool on the show and Robbo is that man.

His views on the 'modern game' were outdated as far back as the 90's.
