Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 22: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[capcom]

That was a bloody awful effort.  No sense hiding it ... capitulation.  Exactly what Nicholls was talking about ... and Marc as well.

Some sides struggle to get players to their club. We could actually struggle to get a coach. They've seen what has happened over 20 years and the number of coaches with their reputation in tatters. No-one will want to come.

Well, LoGuidice, Board and Liddle, you share the blame for this. This is what happens when you do not apply due diligence when appointing someone to the exceedingly important position of senior coach of our once great club. As if you didn't learn from the previous 'training wheels' senior coach, you went and repeated the dose... seduced by talk of a more offense game plan.

To the Board & Liddle. If you people have any semblance of decency and responsibility, you owe it to our players, especially the young blokes, to appoint someone to lead these kids, someone who knows how to lead and engender and educate these kids with an approach and strategy that will enable them to get the best out of themselves, and enjoy their careers.

No more populist, expedient decisions devoid of due process. No more inaction. No more excuses and trusting the status quo. Make the change. Do it for the kids. You owe them that.

Well Clarko’s price would just have at least doubled.

He's already on a million to do nothing next year. Why would he want the stress of Carlton.

Explain to me what is more diligent than watching "an applicant / potential" coach almost half a season in front of you?

We did that previous and got Bolton. Coaching isn't the issue. Another coach would leave too with their reputation in tatters. We did get out "best" coach outside of Ratten, based on win/loss, in 20 years to emphasise that point. Which is really sad and what our club has become. Players culture is stuffed, they are unmotivated and generally don't give a toss. unless that changes then we are farrrked big time for years.

Was that as ugly on the TV as it was on the radio? That was hard to listen to. Just opened the door to our ladder position for the Hawks. I expected 8 to 10 goals at worst. Thank god it wasn’t 100 points. Media will be ridding Teague into the ground on this result.

First qtr was excellent, just poo after that.

Laj is Chris Scott the greatest coach of all time?

I find it hard to rationalise that fans that have been posting on here telling everyone who visits this site that we will get pumped this weekend, and then when it happens they act with indignance towards the club, it's players and coach.

Further most of them posted that assessment well before the outs were known, things only got worse for our prospects as the week progressed!

Actually, on hindsight that fan behaviour may fit. Is it possible the supporters exhibit the same weathervane approach that our board does? :o

Huh?
