"Blues Must 'Have A Hard Look At Themselves" - AFL.COM.AU

I would love to see an non Carlton person in this position.

45 -50 Years old, who does not care if the coach doesn't like his decisions, and is happy to tell the coach what is expected.

and is also not a premiership player mate of the president...

The present crisis is ultimately a massive test for the President and CEO of our club and the final wash-up will be a demonstration of their calibre. We are at the tipping point of the new era, whether it is going to be more successful or just more mediocrity is up to them, a very heavy responsibility.

Best case outcome, we face a few more years of hard work and patience, worst case we face an unknown period of more of the same pain and uncertainty.

Sacking/not renewing MM is a looong way from being a complete solution and if just that happens without the other vital reforms and everyone breathes a sigh of relief and sits back again to enjoy the ride with a replacement coach, then heaven help us.

This was supposed to happen at the end of Ratten's term but if it found that there was mismanagement then that might not have fit well with the people who just wanted to go with their gut and stay in power.

Yep I do remember that "comprehensive review" IOT. No details were ever made public of course and it was obviously a crack papering over exercise as the club's belief then was that we were only a bee's d1ck away from a flag. Surely that delusion is no longer rife within board ranks?

I'm beginning to think the calf was a knee. He certainly looked well short of a run against the tiges, and no better last week.

Regardless of whether he hurt his calf (which i believe he did) his knee has been giving him issues for over 12 months now.

Gets a needle and drained regularly.

Put him out to pasture and get it right. We don't need this dragging on all year, and into next year....etc.

And give Simmo a run as capt. Could be just the shake up we need.

Exactly! We're forked anyway and he's copping it from all sectors. Give the bloke a rest.

Wonder how the two Vice Captains (Gibbs&Jamo) would feel about that though.
