To all those who hysterically reacted to my “forcibly removed” post earlier in the week. Please, take a chill pill.
On reflection, yes the words could’ve been different and it can be interpreted rather aggressively.
I was not for one second suggesting anything like a lynch mob or trying to incite anything.
The point I was trying to make, albeit ordinarily, is that this guy is stubborn and has continually doubled and tripled down on his outdated and ineffective game plan. He’s destroyed players’ confidence, allowed supremely talented players to leave and there are signs already he’s doing the same with the new crop of youngsters - Jagga and Lord, Flynn Young and Wilson etc.
What I meant to say is, he needs to be tapped on the shoulder and told, your time is up. He’s not going to change. He’s not going to sacrifice anything or adapt for the greater good. There’s a massive sample size not just at Carlton but also as a coach at Brisbane. He rubs people up the wrong way, gets players offside, uses word salads like a politician to deflect and obfuscate the glaring issues. It’s amazing that the media has let him get away with it for so long.
He’s one of those people you see in corporate roles who has the gift of the gab to bamboozle you in the moment, and when you escape the trance, you realise…hang on second? But it’s too late, and the cycle continues.
So he needs to be relieved of his duties. GW, you screwed up badly keeping him on. Somehow, you have a second chance here to salvage something, there’s still two thirds of the season to go!
Pull. The. Trigger. NOW.
Or for shits and giggles, let him go to Brisbane and cop an absolute hiding and do it then, it would be fitting that the club he destroyed for a decade is the one that seals his fate once and for all.
Point well made. Convincing. Salient point is to stop the rot.
The ‘corporate speak’ resonated with me. Witnessed so many middle managers and a few Board members with their bamboozling shiny teeth, suit and gift of the gab. Pretenders. I had no issue approving marching orders of those types. Flashy but lack substance.
Vossy has become a broken record and our output seems to go backwards when he doubles down.
It’s all talk.
