I hope he does, he's very angry. How good is to have both Collingwood and Carlton in turmoil, it doesn't get any better than that.

Probably his last chance to do something. Carlton members have been extraordinarily well behaved, all things considered. But not a good look for coterie/life members to upset the apple cart.
Think Richmond passed similar legislation in the shadow of the 2017 premiership, didn't we?
Carlscum doing something sneaky and underhanded? 
Well I’m shocked to be hearing that

A life member is saying that the club are sneakily trying to make changes to the constitution that will make it harder for members to call an EGM.
Just stumbled on this post, so while I've been in the habit of posting entire articles for full context, you're going to have to make do with LTRTR-sanctioned snippets from now on.
Exactly the same as what Peggy and co snuck through at our club. It was disgraceful
It's a "Special General Meeting", the Life Member isn't happy because he feels it is being "hidden", with the focus being on the "review".
Not happy that members haven't got time to digest everything before it's voted on August 17.
Personally, I don't know why they have to have a special general meeting, and can't wait until the AGM.
Leaks from the review add credibility to the Paddy Dow rumors first circulated around here.
Teague’s probably had enough time to whip them into shape, but I reckon Bolton’s tenure did some damage by playing far too safe.
Pension Murphy off and last night’s young combination has a future under a good coach. I’d prefer Clarko at Collingwood to Carlton. More work to be done there.
Agree.
Clarko at the blooze have them contending in 3 years.
At the pies, well they are *smile* regardless.
But for a coach what is more appealing?
Reckon he would like the challenge of fixing the blooze.
Didn't even bother watching the game on Friday night, after what was dished up the previous week. The win doesn't change my mind on things either.
This season has been a disgrace in the way it's followed a pattern:
1. Play some decent footy, post a rousing win or two
2. Then dish up a totally unforgiveable performance or two
3. Wheel out a couple of brooding players to front the media following said performances, "Yeah, nah obviously shattering for the boys, we vow to get better, soul-searching" blah blah blah, treating the supporters and members like total f'n idiots.
4. Repeat
The mantra leading into this season should've been 'No excuses'. They're not young anymore, they've more than outstayed the 'honourable losses' phase, and while injuries haven't been kind, it's no excuse for lack of effort - see North Melbourne, GWS games in a long line of examples.
Part of it is a deep-rooted culture problem for mine - players cutting corners, unaccountable, playing for themselves, too many happy just playing league footy all while collecting a large pay packet. Selection has also been baffling from Teague and the MC and far too many players in the 22 look far too comfortable.

I tend to agree. I reckon with Carlton there’s too many overpaid and underperforming mercenaries (Saad, Williams, Martin, McGovern, ) Charlie Curnow , IMO, will always be “potential “ before he eventually moves on to another club and slowly disappears (a la Patton and McCartin) and keeping Betts and Murphy on for 2021 was a mistake. Your youth doesn’t develop and you trade in mediocrity.
Other than that….
Clubs got major issues when there's a heap of over paid moderately performed imported " stars " running around n taking the club nowhere, yet a player who's given his all over the years can't get looked after for a few weeks to get him to 300 when the season's probably done n dusted.
See the first two stages of the steps I've listed above, suiting the past fortnight to a tee (St Kilda game, 29 pt win) and yesterday (Gold Coast, abhorrent performance, loss).
Looking forward to the next step, probably tomorrow. Bunch of frauds.
