Malthouse sacked - Interim coach John Barker

[FRUMPY]

good to see him gone, has had 3 years to make changes to the list and yet kept some dead wood while losing some good players. It was going to take more than 3 years to get the list right but couldnt keep this going. He has clearly lost the players. Time to move him on.

Was handled ok by the board but yesterdays announcement of a decision in 2 weeks was stupid. Todays decision should have happened Saturday/Sunday.

Dont expect any improvement in performance from the sacking but the club can now have 3 months to get the right man for the job and get shit sorted off the field. On the field, time to see what we have and play the right players

Blake Caracella would be my pick.

Carlton are a disgrace.

Slobbo said on Twitter that Carlton had told Major sponsors before they told Club Staff.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Hiring Mick was a mistake from the start. I really have no sympathy for this cheating club.

 

[believe_it]

The manner in which this saga has played out demonstrates clearly where the problem at Carlton and it's not the coach.

Just got this confirmed from my journo girlfriend - was hoping to start the thread and bring on the sweet sweet likes.


Carlton BETTER NOT ******* LIFT this weekend against Sydney

Caro?

#CarltonFC sacks coach Mick Malthouse!

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.

Seriously you dont have a good core group of players. You need a total rebuild. Dont fool yourself like Mick did to the CFC.

 

[peppy la pew]

This is probably the only way this was going to end with Carlton and Mick, but fair to say both sides have acted in a very unsavoury manner.

Why mick thought publicly butting heads with management, in the media spotlight was a good idea i'll never know.

As for management, sleazy underhanded tactics as usual, " mick has the full backing of the board until next year "

Trigg is enhancing his CV

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

 

[danielnajdek]

So Carlton fans were you happy that you had Mick at your club.

Sure did carry on when you first appointed him.

LOL.

Mick didnt want to resign, so by taking pot shots at the Carlton board he forced their hand.

Selfish to the end.

I don't think we do.

Murphy, Gibbs, Henderson, Cripps, Menzel, Tuohy, Simpson, Buckley, Docherty, Bell, Walker, Jamison, Thomas, Yarran, Kreuzer are good group of players.

We are badly missing a full forward and center half forward in that group and need to get them. We have no forward line is the problem

 

[living_in_syd]

I think that shows mick is clearly pissedd off at the board and way it dsaid that 2 weeks shit yesterday

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

great we play them the week they sack him!!

feel sorry for him in the end

AFL investigating the Betts stuff?

Yeah you might only win by 8 goals, not 12.

 

[PieNSauce]

News flash! In breaking news it has been reported that all supermarkets in the Collingwood area have completely sold out of popcorn and suburban supplies are dwindling fast!

 

[CourtzMajora]

Selfish to the end.

Selfish? Hah. Maybe he's pissed off with the board? Maybe he's upset at the way the board handled this and succumbed to external pressures?

I'm sure Carlton wouldn't want him to be at the presser anyway.

I think Mick already highlighted how he felt about this whole cluster**** of a situation this morning.

That's Micks problem. Board gave him two weeks to show the group are more competitive than they are showing he spat the dummy and ran to the media throwing grenades. He is such a tosser.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Selfish to the end.

Why would he go?

If you were given the arse from your job, do you think it would be the right thing to do?

Turn up and sit there like a derp and say all the right things.

There's no way known he'll be coaching again, perhaps he might put in a late appearance and dump another pile on the club.

P.S. I've just realised, you may have been right. I've received 17 likes for a post in the Michael Long booing thread, my most for a post ever, and bloody Malthouse has to go and get himself sacked and draw all the attention away from that thread.

Selfish prick.
