Round 20: Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Pain

[Brettie]

Absolutely can't have Barker as coach. We desperately need a new leader who is fresh to the Club, who has no previous or current connection with the playing group....someone who can come in and see the playing group as a blank canvas and with no bias can make whatever changes (working hand-in-hand with SoS) he deems necessary - no matter how hard they may seem to appear to be to the rest of us. If Barker was smart, he wouldn't have applied in the first place, as this particular coaching gig is not for him.

One is injured, one is retired, the other three were in our best handful  :-\

We didn't put a support cast around them.

I see the club aiming for 6 top 10 picks over the next 3 years.

Agree....we are at rock bottom and need a total cleanout which means hitting the ND hard with top ten picks.....bottom 4 finishes for the next three years IMO while we assemble the next nucleus
of the list..

It will be interesting to see if he will be given an assistant's position next year.

The club may well have have a "gentlemen's agreement" in place, looking after Barker with money / employment etc. for taking a hit for the team.

In the way Robbo went over to him, it just didn't look like he thought that that anything that had happened during the match was anything to grudge over.as it has been said , we don't know what was said, but the face said a lot

Have to wonder why robbo was singling out Jammo too. The carlton players were all in a group and robbo walks past a few to specifically get to jammo who clearly didn't want a piece of him for some reason. Reckon robbo has said or done something to deserve this one.

Walker looked dangerous at times up forward. Would be a huge bonus if he came into some good form to boost his trade value.

Jamison is finished. He was always a one trick pony and now he's lost that trick.

At least Cripps did his Rising Star chances no harm......

Jamison should retire like 10 others and don't hit our salary cap. ...do the honorable thing....

When we had the three number one picks we also had the first pick of the second and third rounds, none of whom are still at the club.
Last year we traded pick 7 for Jaksch, four years ago we traded pick 21 or so for Warnock, our recruiting and list management has been the worst in the AFL by a country mile and how anyone can have confidence that it will all turn around is staggering.
Tonight's result was disastrous, there's no way it can be spun as positive.
