Sad to see Mick go like this. I reckon the problems at Carlton are a lot deeper than just Mick (der..).
I think they should at least keep his moustache on as director of coaching though.....

Devastated for Mick, losing faith in humanity once is bad enough, but twice in the space of a few years?
When was the last time a coach got sacked this early in the season?
I'm no fan of Mick, but this seems harsh. Barker doesn't seem to be held in very high regard by most posters here, not sure what he can give them that Mick couldn't.
The board appears to have handled it dreadfully. In a just world, Malthouse wouldn't be the only one on the chopping block.

Apparently it's Terry Wheeler from the Dogs back in 1994. Long time ago.
I think it was Schimmelbusch who got sacked after a big preseason loss, that will take some beating.

You don't think he hasn't already?
His daughter will add an extra chapter to the book and should be titled Mick and Carlton: A method into narcissistic behavior, a social study of it's failures.

Robert Walls made it to Round 10 in 1989.
Seems Malthouse has broken another coaching record.
Greatest public humiliation in Australia since Maxine McKew defeated John Howard in Bennelong.

Not until after we've played you first, ok?
Seriously, I thought you were wrong to ditch Ratten and nothing yet has changed my mind. Also I don't think that getting Worsfold is the answer for you. In my view you need a 'modern' coach, one who is current on today's games and trends and you need to appoint him for around 5 years to do a complete rebuild of your playing group and off field assets and he will need to time to start achieving results. This is not a 10 minute fix.
I'm just not sure your board has the necessary nads to make that commitment.
Thats my 2c, you may not agree.
The general consensus on the Carlton board is that we would prefer an assistant from a club that has had success over the last few years. This throws up names like Tudor, Dew, Bolton, Kirk and even Ratts if he would ever come back to the club. Nathan Bassett is also someone we'd at least like to interview. One thing is for sure, there is a lot of good people out there. At least we've given ourselves a lot of time to go and get the right person for the job.
Trigg again polluting another club.. God I hate that bloke, how he got away with what happened at Adelaide and continue to be involved in any way with AFL is beyond me.
watch this space, if the tigers don't make the 8 or win a final. Headline - Hardwick sacked, Malthouse saddles up for another 31st season.

Yep. There was a meeting on Saturday morning when he probably did.
Today was just to get it all out in the public domain.
It is amazing how not just in football clubs but in most business that the slime keep returning whilst the real people are the blame. One day people will just say enough is enough, YOU are the problem. CFC reeks of the top end of collins and Lygon street looking after its own.

Actually, Terry Wheeler was sacked by the Dogs Round 2 1994, and Gary Buckenara was sacked by Sydney after Round 4 1993.
The record surely goes to Wayne Schimmelbusch, who technically resigned but was pushed after losing a preseason game in 1993.
Tom Hafey was sacked by Collingwood in 1982 after 10 rounds. It happens.
