Sydney Swans 77 Carlton 51, the Blues lose again! Melbourne are up next and that'll probably be another defeat as well!

After that we have Essendon, Gold Coast Suns and Hawthorn. Those latter three games really are the games that Carlton dare not lose imo.

Is it the coach, is it the players or is it a combination of both of these factors?The only decent teams we've beaten since the middle of last year were the Dockers last year, and a Geelong team on a premiership hangover this year.

Can Vossy turn this situation around i wonder? To be honest with you i haven't a clue. All i know is that another season is going down the toilet sadly.

Yeah it's not looking good at the moment. Carlton have some talented players but they just lose their way.

The next three opponents have a bit of buoyancy about them as well.

If they end up sacking Voss where do they turn? Hardwick? Maybe, if he is willing to return to coaching in the near future. The news is, Port Adelaide might chase him after this season. Why would he be willing to take on another coaching gig so soon after abruptly pulling the pin at Richmond due to burnout.

I think we should keep Vossy and change his assistant coaches, Carltons problem is that they're a sacking club. That's one of the main reasons, why we haven't done anything of note in over twenty years.

Let's look at a potential worse case scenario, and Carlton lose to the Bombers, Suns and Hawks then the wolves will be well and truly at the door!

It'll be interesting to see how the Carlton board respond then. If Vossy does get fired, then the entire board and footballing department need to leave with him imo.

Well a board member has gone after he lost it. The thing is I really don't rate Vossy. I think he is just like Buckley was at Collingwood. These guys were such good players in their time and such perfectionists that they expect the same of their players when they become coaches. The replace the assistants isn't a bad idea as it did work for Collingwood a few years ago under Buckley when we made the 2018 Grand Final but I think if Vossy loses more than he wins from now on then he is in serious trouble and the whole place might need an overhaul.
 
It's a mixture of an incoherent game plan mixed with skill errors (basic ones at that) from the players.
That Sydney team were there for the taking with the injuries they had down back, and it was coughed up.
Expected loss this Friday and I will not be surprised if Essendon turn us over as well.
Playing Suns at the 'G is the main reason I'd be confident for points in that fixture.

Do you think he goes? I have a feeling he has lost the playing group.

I feel something is rotting. Cripps is well out of form, and these skill errors have just appeared out of the blue.
I honestly thought there would have been an announcement yesterday. A loss to GC will surely raise a few more serious voices.
 
How about the classless Collinwood supporters booing Grundy. The guy was forced out of the club, he didn't ask to leave.

Collinwood may very well barnstorm their way into the GF, but we know how most often it ends. Two premierships in the last sixty years 🤣

Anyway, Grundy had the last laugh.

Gimps the lot of them.
Just as bad as West Coast booing Judd when he left, after delivering a Brownlow, Norm Smith and Premiership.
 
Back in the days of Billy Picken I had a soft spot for Collingwood.

There seems to be an arrogance to many Pies fans now. They also seem to attract crowd trouble.
