The board completely overrated their list and wouldn't show Ratten the patience he deserved.
At least he had all the players 100% behind him, was a club legend and in tune with the boys.
The board members, CEO, President should be accountable for Ratten's sacking.

Steven Trigg and Mark LoGuidice were up all night working out the exit package for Mick Malthouse.

Wouldnt have happened if Mick had given them all a run in the ruck.
I didn't mention we were big 4 pal. Nor did I mention that no one else was responsible.
Mick was bought in on $1m a year, turfed good players and bought in spuds and turned us into the worst team in the comp. He had no right for a new contract.
He dared the club to sack him and they did. Sheeds has coached flags before, maybe we should get him in?

Disagree that we should have shown 'more patience' - he had 5 years and entered a list with 3 no.1 draft picks, as well as Judd, Fevola, Betts, Waite, Stevens, Simpson, Scotland, Walker, Carrazzo all favourably aged (i.e. <30). Got Yarran, Garlett, Jamison around the time Ratten started.
Yes the board overrated the list, yes the board should be held accoutable for the mistakes, but Ratten was at the end of the line.
People criticise Malthouse for Betts/Thomas deals. What about pick 12 for McLean?! I know it's not solely coaches responsibility but if Malthouse cops it, Ratten cops it.
To keep him solely because he was a Carlton boy - how did Voss go? How did Hird go? Etc.
The big problem was signing a "premiership coach" in Malthouse. Should have looked for a "list-building" coach to take us through our next period and hopefully challenge with Murphy, Gibbs etc around. They will be gone now next time we challenge.

they won't get within 120 points of the Swans.
If they made a statue of Trigg, there would be at least 40,000 Adelaide members who would wish they were pigeons.
Well done on a great career Mick.

4 years too late from Mick.

Which is why it's laughable that Carlton were giving Mick "until the bye".
Umm, yeah. V Sydney without Gibbs, Kreuzer, Jamison, Henderson, hell even Carrazzo. Sure not the worst injury list but that's 5 best 21 players, when our depth is VAFA standard.
Sydneys 2nds would beat out firsts, let alone taking what little talent we have out...
He was a dead man walking. A 20 goal flogging from Sydney is surely 80% likely (other 20% is 60-120 point margin).
Good Carlton - "we'll give him until the end of the year", "we'll give him round 11", "we'll sack him today".
If they didn't make such ****ing ******ed statements then Mick wouldn't have to come out and "break trust" by making provocative statements in the media.
I'm not too fussed about Mick, as in he's not a favourite son etc, but it's just another example of how we treat our coaches/staff imo.
Gotta laugh though - Mick's 'infamous' pre-season claim that we wouldn't lose a game has had the most hilarious overreaction to it ever.

It's believed that the car is a close relative of Andrew Walker's hat, although this is yet to be confirmed.
Hopefully the club continues to be in the pressure cooker for the rest of the season.
I don't like Malthouse by any stretch, but what a shocking way to shaft him. Their list is horrible and that won't suddenly change under an interim coach who has half the knowledge and smarts of Mick.
Was good to see Mick go out swinging against that disgrace of a football executive Trigg.

And the best part is....
There's still plenty of season left for them to sack the next coach.

I sooo gotta listen to the interview he did on SEN this morning. No doubt it's on their website front and centre !
It's not like anyone could have seen this coming.
When asked if the club was in crisis in the wake of Malthouse's departure, LoGiudice was emphatic.
"No. Certainly not," he said.
"The definition of crisis, to me, is that you don't know where you are and you don't have a plan of where you're going. We certainly know exactly where we are, and we've known exactly where we are for a long time, and we certainly have a plan - and a documented plan - of where we're going.
"So we're certainly nowhere near crisis."
F'kn priceless....
Whats the record for most consecutive wooden spoons won?
Blues maybe about to break it!
