Sorry to intrude guys but for your sake you don't want Woosh. He's a great motivator but not great on tactics.

It really does look like the players aren't playing for him, which surprises me, after the last half of last season.
Mick knows exactly who the plonkers are who just don't perform on a weekly basis, that's why I think he should stay on as coach (outdated game plan or not, be damned
A question for you, DVB:
Is Mick performing?
Not at this stage of the season, but you got to take a look at the big picture. He won a flag only 4 years ago. His game plan is a proven premiership winner in the modern era.
How deflating it must have been for the players, when they were told Both Woods and Warnock were in.

I keep alluding to the fact its the same bunch of older players who let Ratts down, that are doing the same to Mick.
If we're going to replace Micj, fine, but also we have to get rid of those coach killing players who have let this club down, time after time. I am critical of Mick of bringing in Liam Jones, but it was understandable, we had to let Waite go, and the Dogs gazzumped us for Tom Boyd, you put Boyd into our team instead of Jones, we'd possibly be 3-2 (or at the very least 2-3)
At least Mick is playing more kids now, and his development of Patrick Cripps has been wonderful.
There are perfectly legitimate reasons for people wanting Mick replaced, but at the sane token, this list has to be blown up (a US pro sports term) and players who have harnessed bad habits/unable to perform on a consistent basis, need to be shown the door as well, other the cycle will repeat itself, and we will be looking for another coach in 2019/20.
Its essential that we have to start with (nearly) a blank canvas with regards to our playing list in 2016, don't think it really matters who is the coach.
The Game Plan is Done!!!!
Cooked, Outdated.
Oh for God's sake.
If the players had a problem with Knockers and Wood in the same team, that's an indictment on them and their character, not Mick.
The Mick Out brigade really are using the flimsiest excuse to bash Mick.
He deserves better (from the fanbase and the media)
When we finish next season 4-18 under a new coach, we'll hear the predictable 'why did we sakc Mick' back peddling.
You can't tell me that you didn't have an internal groan when you heard Wood and Warnock were both playing. The rest of the players are only human, I could understand it if they'd feel a touch of dread when they heard the news too. The combination immediately put us at an undeniable disadvantage around the ground.Oh for God's sake.

Had a really good chat with a senior AFL coach not long ago, and he was saying how ridiculous it is how much the game changes. He said every 6 months every clubs plan before the season is found out, and they have to change it again.Ok well I take the view he isn't performing. To some extent we can blame the senior players for not stepping up. At the same time I see little evidence of a Plan B on match days and I'm bloody mystified why Nick Graham, despite killing it every single week in the 2s can't get a game in our SHIT midfield.
The argument about winning a flag this decade, I'm sorry doesn't cut it for me. Pagan coached premierships in 1996 and 1999. That didn't stop him from being the worst coach in our history.

Most of the posters here are well aware that we need a rebuild, and I'd like to give them enough credit to suggest that this also means they're savvy enough to know that this means we won't be playing finals next year, or the year after that for that matter. We either need to back Mick in for 5 years to rebuild it or get a new coach, and allow him 5 years to do the same.
I'd like to hear someone name 5 players that have improved under mick. Every week I'm finding it hard to put a case forward to save Mick. Young, new coaches are proving the way to go in the AFL. It's over mick, sorry pal.

I think that is a very good and salient point JustaBattler .I'll tell you exactly what has improved under Malthouse - his bank account.
He was brought in to get Carlton up to the next level - NOT down a few levels. THAT Was his contract. THAT is what he PROMISED.
He has failed - miserably on a number of fronts.
If the Club wants to now change strategy - THEN the Club must go through a PROCESS to see whether Malthouse is the man for the new strategy.
I don't think infesting the Club with Collingwood has beens will be part of a new strategy. I don't think 'Knockers' on $400k pa will be part of a new strategy. I don't think promoting and overpaying 'entitled' softies will be part of a new strategy. I don't think Wood/Buttifant/Green/Barker will be part of a new strategy.
Time to complete the clean out.
Given our list, realistically how long would it take to improve the team to be competitive and a top 8 team. Our recruiting and use of draft picks will be critical over the next 4 years in rebuilding the team.I'd like to hear someone name 5 players that have improved under mick.
