Hardwick had great support staff that helped save his job, they had Balme, got a decent recruiter in Hartley and had the right assistants, no more panic and sack the coach but Id be sacking some players at years end.
100% EB, sack players not coaches.

Yep.
I reckon it's time for some of the players to come under a bit of scrutiny.
Especially in that leadership role.

In the ‘month ahead’ thread I said I’d be shocked to win all 4, not shocked to lose all 4, happy to win 2.
To me we relied too heavily on Cripps last year and built a team around him that did well - BUT it was always him that pulled us from the loss. Always. The man cannot always do that, not how he’s been bruised and battered. Reminder of C Judd not long ago.
Over it, I’m done, I am so sad. Really I love footy but I can’t watch our forwards kick anymore - my husband covers his eyes now too. That’s not how footy should be watched.

We have no discernible onfield leaders. Zero.

Shambles. Utter shambles.
It’s not so much the losing that bothers me it how far off we STILL look from being a decent team - we seriously play like a bottom tier team. Game plan is under 11s standard and foot skills are just woeful.
I had so much belief at the start of this year really thought we would comfortably play finals and do some serious damage in there.
This club is a laughing stock and to be perfectly honest I don’t even know how to begin to fix it.
Sounds crazy but won’t be long before we say this rebuild is running out of time as it usually takes several years of making finals before you may snare one.
The fact this group hasn’t played one final is amazing for all the wrong reasons. And year 8 is going to be another one with us sitting in the bottom half of the ladder.

We simply have no game plan. Disorganised, leaderless rabble, playing dumb football.
Time to turn this side on its head, give some of the performers in the 2s a crack, and see if we can salvage the ship before we sink to the bottom again.
We shouldn't be too surprised - this malaise started half-way through last season, and the damning fact is we have done next to nothing to turn it around. We somehow thought that picking the same old faces in the same old positions would do the trick.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
