Carlton Supporters Club

I don't know why folks are still banging on about the 'Old Carlton' way of sacking coaches. The club hasn't sacked Vossy, and don't look like doing it any time soon. We have not seen a knee jerk reaction. So we can put away that gripe, it's the past. 

You've been around long enough to know that THIS is how it starts.
Plenty of supporters (some on here) are calling for exactly that.

On fox footy before the game, they were talking about the pressure Vossy is under and how the club reacts to that - ie sack the coach.
The media are running with it. Supporters are calling for it.
Just need the swell to build a bit more and bang, same old same old.

Hold my beer!
Baggers I have lost all confidence in the entire club. Whilst nothing has happened, I cant help but feel the writing is on the wall. The entire club is FOS and I trust a word anyone says anymore. They need to regain my trust (especially the players) as it has completely broken and it will take a very long time to win it back. So I am gonna be very cynical, angry and negative for a very long time so ban mods ban me now if it's not gonna be to your liking. I have had a gutful.

I am very confident this version of the CFC is not dancing to the media tune. Taken literally, 'under pressure' does not equate to calling for a sacking. But some will interpret it that way and make a noise. They're the loud 'quick fix' brigade and deserve ignoring. Along with the boneheads who vandalized PP.

Bottom line is that Vossy and co. still have time to turn things around. We hope he does. But optimism is slim.

Although not all his fault, this does not bode well:
FACT: Michael Voss has coached 194 games for 88 wins, 104 losses, and two draws. His 45.88% win percentage is the second-worst among active coaches who have coached at least 40 games.
I didn't actually realise his he's record was that bad.

While the board might rubber stamp it, any decision regarding the coach will probably be made at the Cook/Wright level.
The way it sounds is that Wright is moving around the club talking to a lot of people including players.
Cook has a reputation of not pulling the plug on coaches...but would be all over the goings on at the club

Both would be aware of any issues or rifts.
I'm pretty confident that any decision they make will be what they regard as the best one for the club.

Vossy and the boos were booed off the ground last week.
Quite possibly again last night.
If that happens every week, you think the club will have balls enough to stick fat with him?
I'm not so confident.

I really don't have anything to add to what has already been said.
There's a number of reasons why we have gone so pair shaped, it's not a simple fix.
Whoever can fix this mess deserves the keys to the city and a bronze statue outside PP.

@kruddler continuing on that average age chat, was just doing some various mental gymnastics about sides and average ages.

It could be right, but I think its being over stated somewhat.

Off thr top of my head our oldest players today would have been cripps, docherty, Williams, saad, haynes, McGovern.   Acres probably a smidgeon behind them.  The rest are all under that age or thereabouts. 

So it may very well be thr oldest average, but we dont exactly have a cliff coming where the rest of the side is in dire straights.
