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

The talk before the game was that he could miss because he hurt a knee at training.

Murphy's not fit - they showed vision of him training the day before the game and he slightly twisted and was in agony hobbling through a simple run and kick.

you have to wonder why the appointment is made AFTER the season has started....

It's hardly a new problem!

Exactly - the horse has well and truly bolted.  Should of been fixed years ago.

I agree about endorsing the coach - this is standard issue stuff from players these days.

What I have an issue with are his comments (brief and paraphrased as they are) regarding our recruiting and trades (the last 2 sentences of the article).

Looks like more towing the company line... as Judd does.

You're right IOT - it is this week's official CFC policy. But it is tantamount to dissing some of his current teammates, and dissing recruiters and other at the club. As much as I love Judd, it is out of any players jurisdiction to be making public his thoughts on these issues. Behind closed doors, by all means, let fly like Mussolini from the tower, give everybody both barrels. Just don't do it publicly.

Judd walks in rarefied air, but he is still a servant of the CFC.

Forget having a hard look in the mirror....We need a harder captain and some harder players, ...

Not surprising.

General consensus is Ratten's blood was on their hands, and now it looks like a few are ensuring this ends up the same.

I hope the club has figured out that this group care more about themselves than they do each other or the jumper.

Nothing seems to have changed. Or any slight improvement the group has made pales in insignificance, compared to the other clubs in the comp.

How many coaches will it take?

I'm still of the opinion we should just get the best available assistant out there as the next coach (once Mick is shown the door).

And footy Ops manager and List manager that are insightful, tough and ruthless. They MUST be the bosses.
Everyone is putting sh!t on MM but the club and structure needs to be solid.
The coach should only be the icing on the cake, not making recruiting and list decisions.

The Hawks, Cats and Swans worked this out years ago.

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.
