GT to coach blues?
A strong rumour has come my way that Dick Pratt and co are already getting extremely worried about Carlton.
GT's name has come up in internal discussions as a possible replacement, due to his record during 2001-04 in melding together some high profile recruits and a number of early draft picks to create a powerful team that moved from the bottom to near the top of the table in 3 years.
Has anyone else heard about this?

thanks to GT for what he built at the club, and the culture at the club and the strength and will of the players.
he's gone.
he's made an ass of himself subsequently.
don't care what he does.
will laugh enourmously if he does get the job and the blues who bagged him for the years he was at st kilda start talking him up.
I reckon he'll do a fair job, and he needs the money.
don't know he'll be that committed to the blues though. Pagan like cash job?

My first thought too.fugazi wrote:What date is it today?
I've already got my girlfriend thinking Riewoldt's broken his ankle and out for 12 weeks and I've got three Melbourne following mates who I have believing Yze will announce his retirement at a press conference this morning.
EDIT: UPDATE: I've just fessed up that the Riewoldt thing isn't true and it seems I will be sleeping on the couch for the next week.
25 minutes to make a name for yourself like you've never made before.

Don't believe this poster everyone, this rumour is true.ausfatcat wrote:IT"S A APRIL FOOLS PEOPLE
Do you seriously think the blues would consider getting rid of a coach after two games?
Do you seriously think Grant would be consider by any club to coach again in any capacity after his media performances?

gt has a track record of melding a group of misfits and boys into a team.

Re: GT to coach blues?
I agree: that's why I chose it for my prank. The best April Fool's Day jokes have to have an element of plausibility about them. GT would undoubtedly do a better job with the undoubted pool of talent that the Blues possess than either Pagan or Ratten have achieved to date.bigcarl wrote:april fool jokes aside they could do a lot worse, already have with pagan and possibly with ratten.meher baba wrote:GT's name has come up in internal discussions as a possible replacement, due to his record during 2001-04 in melding together some high profile recruits and a number of early draft picks to create a powerful team that moved from the bottom to near the top of the table in 3 years.

I think Carlton were a total embarrassment on Saturday night. To me, they still look a million miles away from being a decent side after a bucketful of early draft picks and the recruitment of Nick Stevens, Judd, etc.
After season after season of losing (deliberately or otherwise: I have my views on this) they play like a team with no confidence in their ability to win games. GT perhaps isn't the best technical coach in the world, but he'd certainly be able to instill a bit more confidence in the Blues than they have ATM.
