Carlton Supporters Club

I Have no expectations about this game at all.
We could do a North type performance....or we could get a hiding.

They've done it again the wily old so-and-sos
They've bought some more time.
They've taken the pressure off themselves....temporary though it might be.
The coach sacking was a pressure release.
No-one is expecting miracles in the short term, and then they'll gain a bit of respite while the new coach settles in

The only ones feeling pressure will be Teague (if he wants the senior job) and players on the fringe who'll be playing for their future.

So tomorrow gives us the opportunity to just watch the team go around without the worries of a coach sacking and other external concerns.
There's no worry about the result, the season is over in a competitive sense.
Added to that will/should be a new approach to the game and maybe the opportunity to see some players in different roles.
Looking forward to seeing how we go.

The Premier League clubs (and most European teams for that matter) change Managers (same as our senior coaches) at the drop of a hat if success isn't forthcoming?

Perhaps our Board is actually ahead of the pack after all?

And don't dredge up the Bombers at Cats, Dimma at Tigers etc etc.

Can't agree.

This buys no time.

In fact it does the opposite.  Malthouse got two years and the knives came out.

That will happen again now.

Who are the knives out for?

The interim coach means a bit of pressure off the board for a while
They're the So-and-sos I was talking about.

But the board...they're going nowhere
While the board stays in place SOS's position is secure as long as he wants it.
Judd's too.

The only endangered species at Carlton are coaches, and players who don't impact in their first couple of years (you don't get long as a player either)

Lods.

The moves we have made are the type that fracture footy clubs.

Whispers everywhere.  There will be "factions" that emerge from the rubble of this.  Some pro Bolton, some anti Bolton, some anti new bloke and anti Bolton, and most will simply scoff at what we said is a united footy club.

The scorched earth approach to the list, was party born about because of these factors.

If there is a serious board challenge coming from somewhere, the time is now for these people to show their hand, but in doing so, they will hurt any attempt at recovery we have.  The media stories we see about this will continue for a little while.  People are still a bit shocked by what has happened and are processing it all.

Bolton when he started his thanks for the club, has inadvertently already thrown a barb at the footy club.  He named personally all the people that appointed him, and who had given his opportunity to coach us.

There have been plenty of signs that we were losing faith.  Remember that show "The Journey?"  that stopped in 2017.  At the time I chalked it down to perhaps Trigg getting dumped.  Perhaps there are much bigger machinations at play than we can appreciate.

OR you can label us all conspiracy nuts.  After all, the behaviour we are witnessing occur at our footy club has never happened before has it?  *sarcasm*

There won't be a challenge Thry
There is no-one out there to mount a credible challenge.
And the obstacles to do that are well in place
I doubt anyone at the level we're talking about is going to be overly concerned about the demise of Brendon Bolton.
Win tomorrow and many supporters will move on quickly.

All the current board need to do is wait patiently until the end of the season and appoint a coach to continue the 'process'
It will be someone the public respect or have confidence in getting results and the club will get kudos for it.
Sacking Bolton has just meant that process can go ahead without a lot of noise about results

Impressive and not a cliche or positive thinking line from a 1991 multi level marketing pep rally!

I understand it is selected by the MC of which the head coach is a member.

So those folk who claimed Polson was getting games because he was Bolton’s pet were talking out of their ask!  Who’d have thunk it? 

The small forward cupboard is bare old son. He's named as an emergency because there was actually no-one else to name!

His nickname is not "Default" for nothing - oops, take that one back!
