    I don't see why Alistair Clarkson couldn't take a year out of football to coach Carlton.

    Great Review by the Blues Board, who appointed the Coach. Review conclusion is : everything is great, bar the Coach.

    Disappointed you didn't mention 'Boy' Bolton; here is a club that has appointed 2 coaches who never played the game at the top level, which is something the players have over them.

    I don’t think playing at the top level is necessarily essential. There are other examples of coaches who didn’t but went alright - Neil Craig and Chris Fagan spring to mind.

    . There's a sense of entitlement and almost ownership wherein these so called 'Captains of Industry' become all knowing across areas where they are clearly not. Whilst a different scenario, I reckon you could draw parallels with Jeff Kennett in terms of that desperate need to be seen as the main man. Most at Hawthorn will tell you that he success at Hawthorn was set up prior to Kennett and certainly in spite of him and not because of him.

     

    What Kennet did do he brought in a sht load of money, before the Hawks went to Tassie ST. Kilda WAS THERE, they pulled out sightings not makeing enough money, then the Hawks went there on a better deal with [censored] loads MORE money, this only happens because politicians are all corrupt, and they look after each other.

    Neil Craig played over 300 game in the SANFL, and that was before the crows come in the AFL, it was a very high standard.

    They must have a shed load of money if they can pay Jack Martin $900k who plays like he is in semi-retirement.

    Don't shed a tear for them, they should Have been investigated for tanking, after a player and former assistant said they tanked.

    No problem with theirs. I think Teague’s bothers me because it’s like looking at a photo  of me at 12 years old

    This saga reminds me of a presentation given by our former CEO Peter Jackson. To make a long story short, get the administration right, then the football department, and the on-field results start to flow 3 to 5 years later.

    We learnt the hard way. Doesn't seem to have sunk in at Carlton yet.

     

    And long may it continue

    Geez the Carlton board and nonces. There's many paragraphs to be written about undermining, and overselling, and expectations management, and just pure arrogance. But let's break it down into just one simple statement of what

     Before Teague arrived Carlton had won FOUR of the previous FORTY games.

    They gave him two seasons.

    As much as I passionately despise Carlton, this has to go down as the cherry on the cake of a decade-long era of atrocious governance decisions. 

    Take the Blues jumper out of it (because it makes me want to celebrate their suffering) , and remove emotions, I see it like this:

    1. One of the reasons for sacking him is unclear gameplan. Could not disagree more. Their game plan looks similar to Essendon's, but their skills and decision making with ball in hand were atrocious. 
    2. List has some genuine strengths and some genuine holes. 
    3. Horrendous year for injuries. Most of their forward line was out at one time or another.
    4. Player development (like the Dees for many years up until recently) is their biggest issue. 
    5. Most of their leaders and star recruits seriously under-performing. Cripps, Saad, Williams etc...
    6. Not sure about internally, but from outside Cripps looks a fail as skipper. There is no sense that the players are devoted to him, or are actively following him.
    7. A large number (8 - 10) of the players spoke to board members not supporting their coach. It looks like Cripps was one of them. . This in particular shows things are not right.

    I thought Teague was doing a good job, but like Goodwin, Buckley, Hardwick, needs exactly the right people around him to help him turn his coach ideals into wins. 

    Stuff me I hate the Blues.

    Not quite fair. Half the Board is leaving, too. That includes Mark LoGiudice and Jeanne Pratt who have each been there over a decade and therefore overseen the appointment of at least 5 unsuccessful coaches.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
