Malthouse won't be at press conference. Debacle

 

[holy diver]

Carlton are the new Richmond!!!

 

[Deathly]

Malthouse and Trigg behind closed doors moments before the decision was made.

 

[THRILLHO]

will he want it, infact, will anyone want it? how much cash does another power broker at carlton wanna throw at it?

You're joking right? There's only 18 senior AFL coaches. That scarcity makes the job valuable and desirable. Look back to when Primus was sacked and the exact same question was posed regarding Port.

 

[RustyHawk]

Wow the by week has come early at blues land

 

[Back One Out]

Was it due to pressure from above?

Or was it the pressure from below?

 

[ThirtyThr33]

Disgusting. At a time when Carlton needed to show some resolve, they folded like Jack Watts at the thought of physical contact.

What an absolute rabble.

It was time for Mick to go. Players were not interested.

Carlton are better off giving their next coach the rest of the season to figure out the list first hand. And prepare for next season. Why delay it?

 

[Beerfish]

I believe Peter Sumich is available. Would be a good fit for Carlton I think.

 

[Malifice]

Thought this was going to be about Josh Bootsma, thoroughly disappointed.

Wrong 'sack'.

 

[Marley10]

Players also responsible for his sacking. New coach will be surprised at how soft they are.

 

[aussiedude]

Wrong 'sack'.

Gave the "Like" for the Gif. but almost took it away for the joke.

 

[Ron The Bear]

When are they planning to make a call on Barker for 2016?

 

[FreoRicci]

Fremantle were a bit of a rabble when Lyon took over
Port Adelaide were a rabble when Hinkley took over.

We have a good core group of players need a coach to get it out of them with a game plan that works.

Rabble? Hardly a rabble. We just came 11th with a 9/13 win loss record. Did one of the boldest, riskest move in our short history and away from the media spotlight (not one person knew about it, not even Lyon's manager). Ballsy move for the better of the list and club. Stark contrast to what Carlton are doing, letting media and speculation win and get the better of them.

 

[Tulip]

Well done to the media, they got their man. Buckley had it right on 360 last night: You (Robbo/Whateley etc.) caused the circus, stop asking me whether I think it's unfair.

 

[The 747]

Mark Stevens practically impregnated himself while breaking the news on Channel 7.

Don't know why he is happy, to paraphrase Wayne Carey if it wasn't for Mick nobody would even know his name.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Carlton are a disgrace.

 

[chunkylover53]

Best decision the club has made since getting rid of Pagan.

Washed up coach who had lost touch with the game. Remember the AFL coaches doco from last year?

MM: "I don't code, why do I need to code? I was at the game, I saw everything, I don't need to go through it again"
Clarko: "I love coding, I spend hours doing it".

Young coach with fresh ideas and lots of patience pls. Oh and a new board would be nice.

 

[Quivorir]

Wow the by week has come early at blues land

To be fair, they have had one almost every week so far.

 

[Borderline]

Was it due to pressure from above?

You know you're in strife when these are the people running your club.

 

[SherbertLemon]

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Malthouse was a blame-shifting dick his entire career. Fitting it ends in May.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Win-win. No Malthouse who lost the players. More whinging and meltdowns by the clueless rank and file who make up most "supporter" bases.



John Barker is one of the greatest coaches I have dealt with, a total footy head but also has the personal skills so many in the game lack!

Yarran's ex or current GF who used to be our media manager.

I like this post because I pashed on with her at uni.

 

[Betterthenbencoon]

I feel sorry for Barks, he's a ripping bloke who now has to suffer through coaching this rubbish mob. Wish him plenty of luck!

 

[thejester]

Football media bloodlust claims another victim. I guess their attention will turn to Justin Leppitsch or Rodney Eade now. Lucky both coaches are slightly sheltered from the glare in Queensland.

I hope they get thumped for the rest of the season so the players realise that they are no good and its not enitrely the coaches fault
