Certified Legendary Thread The New Carlton Thread: 31st season without a flag for the eternal dickheads

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Wrighty may well want Vossy's head on a platter but given Carlton's reputation as a place that careers/reputations go to die , who is out there that is good and wants the job?

Ange is waaaaay too accustomed to success to have his name associated with that dumpster fire

 

[76woodenspooners]

Even worse - what if the Blues had appointed Fly?

What is wrong with me, that I’m even asking this question? Get a grip VP.

That’s an easy one to reconcile …

… Carlton had opportunities to appoint Fly, but they never considered him to be a serious option, they didn’t even think he was worth interviewing.

Shit clubs do what shit clubs do.

This is more damming than their decision to appoint Voss. Something they only did when they couldn’t get Clarkson or Lyon.

Would be hilarious if they finish the round in 15th with a % over 100

You'd think Wright would have to have someone like Longmire on the hook to oust Voss with a year still to go on his contract.

 

[Knoxy]

Humiliating for Voss to know he was running fourth for the Pies job, and a long way behind. Would make him feel yucky.

I feel yucky too, in thinking he was even being considered. We did more than dodge a bullet.

Who knows what Wright will do?

Carlton have already tried a very similar process to the one we used to appoint Fly.

• Put together a panel
• Include on the panel the CEO
• Include on the panel people who understand what brings success (they had Ange Posticoglou and Ken Sheldon)
• Include on the panel somebody who understands things from a player point of view (they had Chris Judd)

… and just like us they came up with a first time coach, a coach who is a great teacher and strong with development, a coach who had been part of successful programs in the past …

Brendon Bolton

Just like Fly, he added to their trophy cabinet …

… but instead of silverware it was a wooden spoon.

Their processes like the club are flawed

So, even when they incorporate some competence and integrity into the process of searching for a new coach…

They fail.

Bit tough on Bolts, for whom I have a lot of respect. He was up to his neck in our ‘23 flag, and one of the brains in the premiership triumvirate (with Leppa and Fly).

But he too fell victim to the malevolent spirit which haunts Carlton, and which manifests in unrealistic and excessive impatience for success.

So good that it continues to elude them.

they are in footy purgatory, yet to atone for past scumbaggery, the suffering will continue.

Depends on what condition their soft cap is in.

Gotta feel for Bolts, but a great Assistant Coach doesn't automatically make a great Head Coach.Plus their fans are very inpatient and expect everything to be handed to them, if they don't get their way or if wins don't come, they boo their players, they ridicule everyone at their club and the club respond with a knee jerk reaction (fire coach) and the cycle of sh!t continues.

I'm not sure someone like Longmire can fix anything, the fans want a flag straight away and that's highly unlikely, if they don't the cycle of sh!tness will continue.

The blues are playing Essendon’s VFL team today. Curnow will kick a bag (downhill skier) , blues will win and they will be back baby! Then a couple more huge wins against the eagles and north in succession again (yes again, don’t ask me how, nobody knows)

And the blues fans will be up and about.

Muzza is gonna jump right back on!

I try not to be overly critical of the fixture, and I’m glad it’s not my job.

I also try to avoid any thoughts about a conspiracy and Carlton - tempting though that is.

But for Carlton to play the teams that finished 16th and 17th last year, twice, and both times in succession just in case they lose the first game and need the second one immediately to ensure a leg up - to be polite I’ll call that a head scratcher.

 

[Exambolor]

Good luck with that

 

[Knoxy]

Who else is keen for tonight's monkey knife fight?

 

[jmac70]

Good luck with that

He can’t wait for Carlton to miss the finals again?

 

[Exambolor]

For a barrel of laughs prior to the game, As a result of North’s win, they are now 1/2 game behind Carlton
