Malthouse just said in the press conference our problem wasn't effort last week. Who does this guy think he is kidding? The tackle count was a joke and it was the main focal point of discussion throughout the football world this week. The guy is a dated, selfish, over confident wanker. The saddest thing is that he thinks he is outwitting the press, the members and supporters. He is embarrassing. He isn't the cause of our woes but this guy doesn't make me feel part of our club.
I just don't like him.

I'm not a supporter of what is occurring on field currently and believe there is a lot wrong with our structures and setup's, etc. but MM is right about this.

BV he was talking about distance covered and intensity of the running involved. I agree that it's shit that they're not throwing their arms and body out to tackle as much too, but a factor in that how opponent-centric the midfield structure is.

If there's no zone or wall to slow the run, they'll be chasing tail much more than laying tackles and creating 50/50 contests.

Negative net calories. :)

Look that's useful if you're morbidly obese, but for most people you can just control your portions and maybe try some low-key fasting on a day off, which is where some celery might come in. But I'm speaking from the perspective of the theory, and I'm certainly no expert.

Its amazing the kinds of things we have been doing to ourselves
One thing is for sure each time the president has attempted to throw a curve ball it's been hit out of the park
The guy is terrible!
I'm expecting Jim to tell me I eat cabbage or something right about now...

Lol

For you Synners?

I recommend less rhetoric, caffeine and kourambiethes, more club goss, water, saganaki and sleep.

Give us one example of exactly that kind of tactic in the history of AFL football or any sport.
Sorry Syd, you're making things up again.
I cannot find one example of such a thing in the history of sport.
Nobody in sport talks about itself in 66 games time from now and doesn't give a specific target on what happens in 66 games from now... In round 2 after talking differently before round 2.
One of the craziest things ever!

Coaches and players are in self preservation mode.... What happens in that situation is everybody is playing paralysed.


But good try! ...


MLG was slow IMO.

I put a line through them in the second quarter against Richmond. Season was over then.


KK spot on. There was no talk of rebuild leading into Rd 1 and hey no talk of rebuild leading into Rd 2.

Players put in a shit full performance in those opening games. Nothing has changed since. Therefore:

SHIT performances <=> Post Rd 2 Rebuild Talk.

Hope I got the above right!

Unfortunately I think we are seeing more and more of the Malthouse I don't like. It's about him now not the club. He is spitting the dummy and will blame everyone else for the issues at hand.

The board for once need to make a decision and move him on now. It's not doing anyone any good.

I really hate the comment "I'm not a quitter". All it shows is it's about him and not the players or the club.

It must be awful around the inner sanctum of CFC at the moment. Need to clear the decks and start again on so many levels.

He's disappointed me as well. I thought the change in President may bring some leadership. It's just as bad. In these times when the club is at its lowest ebb he needs to stand up and show the members/supporters a direction and sell hope.

Someone who's opinion I trust questioned the appointment of Trigg as well saying he is not the person in a crisis. I questioned his comment. I get the feeling now he was right.

You have to wonder why they do it. It has to be purely ego as they don't really seem to care for the club or its supporters.

Trigg needs to fit into the club..
As well as not being a guy to take is into the future he needs to be good with the board so as he doesn't get the dreaded payout..

You must wonder who has the most to win from three president's statement.
Was it the supporters?
Players and coaches?
Or the board!?

Duhhhhhh

micky and his comments destroyed their confidence and self belief a long time ago

all he does is deflect blame and look at another avenue to blame

between our new president and micky the players will be running out with strait jackets on soon :confused:
