Carlton pasted by Pies (Post Game)

Port also swept a broom through their board and Prez.
We are run like a business who has lost touch with reality.. We are no longer a great Club. We ve become mediocre.
You think a new coach will make Murph and Gibbs stop being softc*cks when Pagan, Rattten and MM couldn't ?

I thought Murph and Gibbs did alright under Pagan, well under Ratten, but have just regressed under Mick. Get this forkwit away from our list before the damage is beyond repair. And by all means change the board.

From Perth?

Why not?

Most people now work remotely, I travel to Melbourne 6 times a year anyway. Kochi was does ok travelling all year. 6 other board members who have a consistent, clear and concise plan for the football club.

We can sit here and watch our club slowly fold or do something about it.

Fix the brand, involve the members, win games of footy.

Obviously more complex than that, but can't do worse.

Silly question, you don't need
Money to be on the board? Just voted in.?

I reckon I would be a chance. Who's with me?

No cash but you need to prove youre a good candidate to the prez now  ;D

You don't need his tick to run but I'm sure he would make light of it come election time. I'd vote for you  8)

Seeing Gibbs last night, it wasn't a toughness thing, he just wasn't interested.

Consistency and focus is mental toughness. That is what he lacks, not physical toughness. Same as Murphy. They both fail when the heat is on

No, you would backstab your fellow board members.

No, you would backstab your fellow board members.

Keep thinking that.

I would still accept Hawks members back too

Fine by me.

I'm not sure how it works. At the moment I'd much rather give my coin to an alternate ticket than using it on membership.

Reminds me of a Monty Python sketch - How to Play the Piano

1. Select the right key
2. Put it in the piano and open it (not essential, if you can't play)
3. Once the piano is fully open, put your fingers on top of the notes
4. Move your fingers about, making sure they hit the right notes in the correct order*
5. Watch your friends be amazed

* for other instruments, same thing but without the piano.

Actually, that skit sort of mirrors our recruiting strategy over the last decade:

1. Select high draft picks
2. Dress them in Carlton Football uniform (not essential if they can't play)
3. Once the siren sounds, put them on the field
4. Get them to run around making sure they kick lots of goals and stop the other team from doing so
5. Watch all supporters be amazed

Come on guys - if we didn't LAUGH, we'd CRY after last night.

btw, I'd vote for you Shadesy. Has an entire board ever been sacked from an AFL/VFL club?  Is it even possible? We're not a govt dept. or a publicly listed company - you couldn't just appoint an administrator to act as caretaker until new appointments or elections were conducted.  I think we're stuck with what we've got for another couple of years.

Its just sad that they ve botched this so badly.

[ItsOurTime]

Yep, we need to sort our shit out. We have enough first rounders to almost make up an entire squad.
