Carlton tanking

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Just saw an clip from the upcoming open mike where Libba seems to re open the whole Carlton tanking...

Oh please I hope his puts them in the shite!

[TheoX 1,222]

There must be an investigation!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keep13alive 78]

Think Vlad and co will be a little too busy to reopen that can of worms.

[rjay 24,924]

Tanking again today???taking Judd off, Murphy???

Nup, good win Doggies...too good.

[What 18,810]

how the F did we beat the Dogs

[Return to Glory 8,441]

Love it. What I find interesting is that Neeld made the mistake of talking about the players in a me/ them manner and lost them. MM does the same and it's not questioned. First class [censored] who was meant to be the icing on a premiership cake and now says he needs 5 years.

[Return to Glory 8,441]

And that 10 need to go.

[daisycutter 29,614]

i think he might be MNMkII

[Clark_Kent 315]

It's crap that after what Fev and Libba said they were never investigated. It would be oh so sweet if Brock Mclean's side was also investigated what a [censored]!

If the drug saga wasn't happening atm, Carlton would be investigated for tanking.

But, fortunately for Carlton, the media are already on a witches hunt at the moment.

This won't even be a story, mind you, there is more reason to investigate Carlton - than there was MFC.

[TheoX 1,222]

Hopefully there's a few anti Carltank journos that push for an investigation. AFL has such double standards.

[Sir Why You Little 37,035]

If Sheahan asks the right questions it will be a story.

Over to you Mike...

& IMO MM is making a Big play for the Number one pick this year for Tom Boyd who apparently is a Carlton supporter & said for carlton "to get it done".

... a player, or 2, plus their 1st Pick I think will go close.

the difference, one is a salesman & bluff merchant.

My big question is who gets the rights to pick 1, i think we should get it.

which two players?

Wouldn't mind Marc Murphy and pick 9, doubt they'd do it but still.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

It seems as if Carlton and Melbourne have suffered the same fate by going down the tanking track; it has shot to pieces the culture of both clubs.

They have 3 number one draft picks, plus a number 2 and a number 3 but they still don't have the goods to win consistently and are nowhere near a flag.

Mickey has overestimated the quality of their list.

I think we are exhibiting all of the signs of a club that's deliberately tanking.

Last night we had more disposals, more inside 50's, more scoring shots and not only inexplicably missed easy shots at goal but had about three out of bounds on the full.

Mitch Clark, our best forward trained this week but not only wasn't selected: he was put on the LTI. Chris Dawes was a "test" early in the week but failed to front and key players Jeremy Howe and Cam Pedersen were mysterious last minute omissions. And where is Melbourne hiding its two All Australians Frawley & Jamar?

As for Carlton, there will be no investigation whatsoever of their 2004-2007 tanking performances apart from if an admission comes from Brett Ratten in public. As for their pitiful capitulation yesterday against the Bulldogs who lost not long ago to Melbourne, all I can say is that Mick Malthouse might have looked a trifle p1zzed off last night but inwardly, he was giggling.

Yeah we deliberately kicked points in the last quarter. Would love to c Frawley running around out there with a hammy.

Please give me strength.

[Whispering_Jack 30,102]

Has anyone thought of Brett Ratten as a possible coach? He's got experience, has silverware (the Kreuzer Cup) and did a reasonable job with the Blues getting them to within a poofteenth of making a preliminary final when they narrowly lost to the Eagles in Perth in 2011 which is always a tough gig. Last year, he was disgracefully and unceremoniously dumped from the Carlton job after injury cruelled his club's season. Despite that, his record in 2012 compares well with that of Mick Malthouse this year. He hasn't won premierships like Roos and Choco or made a grannie like Eade but he did work wonders when he was our midfield coach several years ago. Currently Assistant Coach at the Hawks so he's working in a successful environment.

Once we have him installed as coach, we could get On the Couch to interview him and Mike Sheahan might want to ask him what sort of environment his former club offered Brock McLean that was better than the one he was leaving at Melbourne.

Seriously though, there's no hope of an AFL tanking investigation into the Blues despite the stupid utterance of one journalist that "if Carlton is guilty then the current mood of the AFL indicates that club, too, will be forensically examined and punished." The AFL's system of kangaroo courts is busily engaged elsewhere at the moment.

They reduced the quarters to 20 minutes.

Please give yourself a sense of humour.

That post was definitely tongue in cheek.

I believe Rattan is a worthy candidate. He was able to minimise the cancerous damage of tanking at Carlton unlike us. And Malthouse is now backsliding and paying the price for it.

Good to see that Mick was at his bubbly best during yesterday's post match presser. What a sook.
