A post season that I thought could be filled with optimism and enthusiasm will just be another post season with us hearing about how well our players are doing in their time trials and building houses in Cambodia.

Mark McClure had some interesting things to say on AFL 360 tonight. Right on the money.

What did he say?

Last year we brought in Wellingham and Cripps. Unless we have a spare 700-800k to lure someone out of contract, I'm not sure what you expect?

At the end of the season, we'll hear the same rubbish.... "we'll inject some pace".

Change a goddamn match tactic in the next game. It's not F***** Hard. Nothing to lose.

And drop kick King Ploddus out of the team.
 
I'd be interested to see how Worsfold wants to restructure the football department, what changes he wants to make etc. if he wants to stay. I'd like to think they'd be significant changes if he were going to bother to re-sign.

That said, there's still the possibility he won't be there.

Basically his demeanor and pressers over the last months don't match his "ambitions" to coach on.

His presser today just leaves everyone more confused, seemed like maybe he would step into another role at seasons end but he quashed that at the end of the presser.

Am I the only one who cannot see that much of a difference between how he handles his pressers recently and how he has over the last 11 years?

Only difference is he's out of contract so people will read more into it than they would've thought of it in the past. :confused:

Exactly the same from what I noticed. I've been looking for something, anything different because it keeps coming up, but I don't think it's there.
 
It's about the same

What exactly would McClure know about what goes on in our club??

His point wasn't really related to inside knowledge.

He made the point that if you need to think about whether you want to coach anymore it's a sign that the fire is gone and that it might be better for both parties if there is a change.

Of course whoosh has the right to take his time with the decision and might sill be as enthusiastic as ever but I can't help and agree that the players and gameplay could do with some fresh perspective in the coaching box.

It probably shouldn't come as any surprise, we are probably the most conservative club in the competition. Maybe they really do listen to the majority of their members...

We're the family club now...:(

Doesn't matter whether we win or lose. The most important thing is that the boys have fun...chemical-free fun.

I know a few Carlton past players and administrators and to me they have always seemed a bit anti Woosha. In fact at the time of Woosha' senior appointment they were very disparaging in they views and firmly believed that it he does not have it.

And then they appointed Ratten which worked a treat didn't it?
Seriously though I'm 50/50 on woosha. This time last year we were on the way up big time and we were happy the club kept faith in him. The midfield is now uncompetitive and injuries are hurting us this year again.
In a negative for him he was given the opportunity of a full staff clean out when we got in Phil Walsh, Daniher and Burns. If that hasn't worked maybe he doesn't deserve another chance to restaff and its time to concede its him that's not up to it?
The club has invested a lot into him to improve his coaching and leadership etc and I doubt they would let him go for an untried couch.
If Roos was available it would be interesting.
I'm firmly on the fence I know.
 
Interesting how shit our midfield looks when Naita and cox are having shit years

Our midfield looked serviceable without being great in previous years with our forwards and backs dragging us over the line

We had two really good years - now with the two rudiment up the shit and the most unsettled injury ridden midfield all of a sudden our midfield looks like crap

Well no shit Sherlock. - Woosha built a team and a game plan around a kick arse spine and the best rucks in the business - if they are out - so are we

Why is this so surprising to people? Last year we brought in more depth for the mids - and the main part of that depth - wellingham has t been on the park all year.

This year we will either draft or trade for another missing part of the jigsaw

News flash people - when most of your team is out through injury at some stage or another and you have no continuity - your team doesn't do well......

When players et al are interviewed we often hear 'it is all about what is best for the team/club'. It seems, to me, that Worsfold has, for whatever reason, become bigger than the 'team/club' in this instance.

To me Mark Duffield got it exactly right in last weekend's West when Duffield said Worsfold should make his decision known, at least to the board, so necessary decisions can be made in a timely manner; who goes, who stays, what type of player to chase, changes to coaching group, changes to MC, recruitment, development and so on.

I believe we have fallen behind in many areas of the club's support structures, particularly recruitment and development. I look at Geelong, with it teams of champions, who appear to still be able to refresh their team so it maintains 'freshness'.

If Worsfold is staying he needs to consider all aspects of the club's team performance and provide new direction. More of the same isn't good enough for me.

woosha will go on...probably for three years.....been saying it for over a week.

That will be sad for our club mate, its time to move on. No one and i mean no one has a right to just stay, stay, stay. It is not auskick it is a big business and the club should not even be considering that their existing coach is a favourite son. They should only consider what needs to be done for this club to become a power on the field again.
Because against popular belief no one gives a rats what we do off the field, it is on field that matters and that is all that matters.
On field we have been average for sometime but have been told we are nearly there. We are so far off the summit its laughable.
It seems now even the members and supporters are accepting that 5-8 finishes are success.

From memory it was Wayne Brittain but your point remains.

Interesting the same people were telling me what a coaching star Brittain was and how players loved him.

in breaking news we held the premiers to about a 30 point win with outs of
MGinnity
Kerr
S Sell
Hurn
Waters
Embley
Nicoski
Shep
Brennan
NN injured
Shuey out early
The pie bloke in his 2 or 3rd game.

What did we have missing - experience, bigger bodies, a few AA and a NSM. Where did we lose it - through smaller inexperienced mids who could not defend bigger bodies.
