The only way out of this mess is continuing turmoil and board upheaval,continued drafting of spuds,sacking of coaches and constant kneejerk reactions.

That's the long term reality theynow face.

I really feel for them.

In, fact I'm feeling really happy for them to be livin' the Blues.

Mick was very gracious to the press during his exit - bet he's looking for a gig.

I hear he's the biggest tight arse in football.

Silence might be part of the pay out deal cf.

Any of their crap demoralised, soft ,disillusioned ,weak players we might need to top up our list,from that pathetic bunch or is that just predatory thinking?

They wont cost much.

They should appoint Mark Neeld immediately. He was great at Collingwood. Carlton have a strong history of getting ex Pies.

Yes, the Malthouse endorsed protégés, Neeld, McKenna and Watters have all been great successes.

Wouldn't think we'll see Malthouse on a coaches selection panel any time soon.

Carlton need to change their constitution to prevent anyone called Mathieson or Pratt and anyone related to them by blood or marriage being ineligible for election. The perception of the average Carlton fan is that the Pratts and Mathiesons effectively control the club. It is possible that any moneys they donate to the club are more than matched by the hit to revenues from supporters not engaging with the club through memberships, match attendances, merchandise and functions because they feel alienated by their club effectively being in the control of 2 billionaire families.

The Australia Post and PWC CEOs must wonder why they joined such a dysfunctional board. They should sack the rest and start again with these 2.

Still the appointment of Silvagni is a positive. He has seen life outside the poisonous Carlton culture and should have an imprimature to build for the long term. But we know how long a rebuild can take when you've hit rock bottom and have a mediocre list. When you look at their list there is not much beyond Cripps, Docherty, Yarran, Menzel, Bell and maybe Jacksh to build on. Silvagni is already limited in his trade options if Murphy and Gibbs can't be traded. Leaves Henderson really is their only way to unlock a first rounder which he could do as a Centre Half Back. Yarran could also be traded given he is a free agent end of 2016 but he'd have to agree and a suitor would have to really want him a year early to pony up a first rounder.

I could see Yarran at Hawthorn, I can also see Hawthorn coughing up a first rounder for him.

Come in spinner. Took Barassi off us by stealth. Bought premierships. The 2002 salary cap schemozzle. Elliott. Bringing in a peeved Malthouse and Daisy to win a premiership. It's taken a long time, and i hope it's a long time near the bottom for the good old navy blues. ps good song though.

Yarran and Gibbs are probably their most worthwhile players.

I think we could possibly get a year or two out of Armfield as well as a decent outside running depth player.

I also wonder if there is anything left to salvage of Kreuzer. What could he do if someone got his body sorted out?

Silvagni might be tempted into a comeback ... :) :)

some were calling for MnM to coach us about 2 - 3 years back.

no no no.

I an see Yarran @ Melbourne, as a Roosy special.

I'm pretty sure the 750k he's on a year will keep him warm.

Really?

Even Mr Hirds is on a million a year.

Malthouse did not fail Carlton, Carlton failed malthouse, i think mickey wanted to get back into coaching and prove Eddie wrong so bad, that he did not study the blues list closer enough, he believed what Carlton were telling him, that their list was close to a flag, in reality they were about to fall of the cliff.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
