They'll all get sacked eventually. That much is for certain
Clarkson and Lyon will probably "walk away".

Clarkson and Lyon will probably "walk away".
Hiring Malthouse was always a terrible idea, which has led to a predictable outcome. Carlton's list wasn't good enough to push for a premiership in the near future, and Mick was too old to properly redevelop the culture of the club and the list overall. Malthouse taking the reigns was a dumb move on behalf of both parties. Mick can't have really believed Carlton were in a realistic position to challenge under him.

Visy may have bought shares during the board election process before the move, but that wasnt Carlton, no matt
Carlton didnt try to roll up the Swans in the 90s. The AFL was looking at its options when the private ownership started to go belly up and one of those options was an elliot suggestion that the Blues play all their away games in Sydney, underwritten by a proposed massive sponsorship from Tooheys. Carlton never pushed to roll up the Swans that Im aware of.
Merger negotiations and buyouts with North (twice) - and St Kilda (in 1995) - were part of noit just that plan, but AFL strategy at the time. The last negotiations with North were in 1999, and they ended when both clubs played in the Grand Final. The Saints deal ended when the Blues won the flag.
The breakaway idea is directly credited in Football limited and the phoenix rises for being instrumental in the creation of the Australian Football League.

They may. But few before them have. Even coaches who were told they "had the job for life."
If those two kept going as long as Mick did, they could end up in a similar situation one day.

They could defect to their former club to become an assistant coach, become embroiled in a drug scandal, and then walk away in disgrace, with the club not even inviting them to their premiership re-union dinners.
There are quite a few people on the board who have been there for a long time and who have presided over the decline of this once powerful club. Perhaps they should consider their positions.

Well Roos has once, expect he will twice.
Longmire, Clarkson and Lyon likely to have the opportunity to go out on top.
The Carlton board are misaligned with reality.

Didn't even get the 'full support of the board' thing before they axed him. Shame.
I hope one of the networks pick him up to do some commentary for the rest of the season. Would be many LOLs watching him commentate the Blues.

I feel like micks age counted against him in terms of rebuilding the club
Seems to me they just keep throwing coaches out looking for the next saviour
Feel for mick the playing group and the fans to be hones

People should listen to the SEN interview with Mick with an open mind.
What did he say that was unreasonable? Pretty rational, candid and fair assessment of the situation.
Some posters on BF saying he alienated his staff or players are quite frankly talking bullshit. Listen to Judd and the players reaction to his sacking.
Listen to Micks comments regarding his support staff, Wiley etc. Facts are Mick joined Carlton under Swann and Kernahan who unfortunately were on their way out the door due to the usual shit politics and egos. Trigg stuffed Adelaide and hasn't improved in his running of Carlton.
I take no delight in the demise of a coach with Malthouses status in the game. He is still a great coach who backs his players and who has made a great contribution to AFL football. Parochial shitstirring should be placed on hold in such situations. It is not like the way Ross Lyon left St Kilda in the shit. Malthouse should be afforded some consideration and respect.

Chasing Thomas like a pack of dogs.

Oh good, they've sacked the coach, now the players will be twice as good, money will flow, wins will come, and the members who refused to come out to previous games will be replaced by unicorns farting out rainbows.
Right?

Can we have the 'Trigg is shit' thread back in it's own right?
Too good to be thrown into the mix with these other topics.

That picture of the media is hilarious. It looks staged, actually like a parody of the AFL media.
