Yep. Poor old coaches are just the rancid meaty bit that is easily disposed of when things get difficult. Been proven over and over again that club management needs to be premium, recruiting, coaching, development, fitness n rehab also need to be at premium together. Then of course there's always that little smidgeon of luck n timing also required to create that near perfect scenario of playing finals and chasing flags.
End of 2016 we were a brain fart away from starting all over again as we'd been doing for well over thirty years. Thank the footy gods someone withstood the bloat n held their wind.
On SEN, just heard Dwayne Russell call his final 8 with us at 6th but Ninthton at 9th. 
Get ready for the melt calls....

Pains me to say this, but we should be fighting Carlton for top 4. No more excuses with their list.
Agreed.
But culture is key here. And excuses, cutting corners, near enough is good enough, someone else will do it, get paid and who gives a toss after that, have all long been part of the Carlton culture.
A healthy list would be handy too. Get a few injuries and I fear they'll struggle badly.
Brittain was arguably the club's big f*** up out of the list.
He was a fine coach with a great football brain. Did an apprenticeship under Parkin and learnt from one of the best, but unfortunately when the drums started beating in 2002 amid an injury-riddled season, he was quickly tipped out by Jack, whose ruthless approach had worked in a bygone era.
Jack goes and gets Pagan and the rest is history.
It didn't help Brittain that he never played at the highest level either, but despite winning the spoon in 2002, the young list had a crack.
It's a shame Brittain never got another go at AFL senior coaching and it's a brutal business.
Can understand Pagan, Malthouse, Bolton and Teague getting the bullet as they'd well lost the players. They all come back to initial bad appointments in the first place through a lack of process.
Ratten falls into the Brittain category - one bad season and he was gone, all to go and get a premiership coach well past his best. History repeated itself.
Barker never got the bullet - he was caretaker in 2015 and threw his hat in the ring for the full-time gig but lost to Bolton.

Should reply to him saying that Cotch has been anointed a Visy Ambassadorship.
Agree BB especially re the Micky Malthouse disaster.
He was just pisssy that he got shafted at the Maggots and his ego wouldn't allow him to say no, nor did the $$$
Although watching Malthouse eviscerate the media bin dippers in the after match conferences was must watch TV.

Do we have any former carlscum officials working for us ? If anyone knows about paper bags getting passed around joe……..
I hope he's right.
Last time I hoped he was right was when he said he couldn't see us losing a game (might've been 2014?).
Didn’t he tip the Bombers to win the flag last year?
Senile old fool.
Need to remember this come September. Malthouse.
In the same box as Sheedy
Played for our club but constantly disrespect it.
