Cripps must have support soon or we will break him.

He's got some big shoulders...but there is a limit.
Definitely needs some assistance.

Just watched BBs media conference, I know some might not agree but I reckon the bloke is a class act considering where we find ourselves... loved his gags about cliches, and why we relented and are playing H.

What else can he say other than what he said??!! The bloke is having to be the face for mass list turnover, unreasonable numbers of injured blokes, too many inexperienced blokes taking the field through necessity, flop recruits from other clubs and a marketing dept. Phew.

I think I feel better about the whole shemozzle we presently find ourselves in because I've dropped all expectation for 2018. Now all I want to see is effort. Fair dinkum pressure. Blooding, gradually, kids. Further improvement in recruits of the previous 2 years. And some anti-social ruthlessness which we showed in BBs first 2 years.

And Judge, McKay, SOS... about time you blokes took some of the heat as well rather than leaving it all to the coach and Juddy. How about you 3 showing some ticker and start speaking up (with conviction) re our situation and demonstrating some ridgy didge support for the senior coach/players. No time for wimps skulking around in the shadows... never was a strong, united and forceful message more needed than right fkn now from you three. So get off your flabby @rses and let the football world know how 'Bound By Blue' the club is, DEMONSTRATE it by confronting the media yourselves ...at least we'll then know that 'BBB' is more than a glib marketing slogan.

You’re right about it being time for the club heavyweights to step up.  Juddy did his bit but it would be good to get some reinforcement from the Judge and co.

David Teague’s performance while miked up at training was interesting.  It gave me the impression that everything is proceeding as expected.  I particularly liked his banter with Harry about the contest with brother Ben.

Where has Liddle been the past month?  The previous incumbent would have been on SEN spruiking etc.  Needs to be front and square during these hard times,  deflecting media heat etc

yep

A simple question then if its not media pressure and not due to any great form in the NB's given our NB's watchers didn rate his game then why is he in the team??
Its a question Bolton gets asked about Harry every week after a loss, hows Harry Mckay going?...BB..he will play when he is ready

explained in his presser, don’t know what else people expect. The cynics and negative nellies will say it’s a media pressure based selection which I think is a load of cods wallop. Trust the process.

[Gointocarlton]

All i want for Harry is for him to hold his head up high all game.

I don't give a stuff if he gets donuts, as long as he doesn't drop his head and sook, he'll be better for it.

Personally I don't want to listen to any more words, platitudes, cliches, management speak, excuses, pat phrases etc etc. I'm not interested in what Macca, The Judge, Liddle or anyone in the media have to SAY. I'm tired of WORDS. I am happy now to watch how the boys GO and hopefully witness some positive development and improvement over the rest ofthe year and even snag a few wins.

This was copied from a Carlton supporter.....

Clarkos first 44 games as coach... 14 wins
Bolts first 44 games as coach... 13 wins.
GWS first 66 games.. 9 wins

*48 games into our 66 game rebuild and we are already 4 wins ahead of the Giants with 18 games to come.
We need to be patient guys!????
I know most 'BlueBaggers' can see the overall picture but a small minority are struggling to keep the faith and threatening to derail things we the call for Bolts sacking .
His intellectual property far outweighs any of you who are calling for his head. I trust him over you any day...

GO BLUES!
