Way harsh Simpson is a good solid AFL player, never been an A grader, never will be an A grader Unfortunately he is judged as if he is an A grader because compared to his team mates he is (even though he is not)
Really? Rarely plays a bad game, would be in Carlton's top 3 or 4 consistent players over the past 5 years.

im aware he does good every week, im not critizing him, and i want him in the team
am just saying, in the entertainment of the game, he just somehow doesnt seem to appear, is the phantom!

Pretty sure we are saying the same thing. Consistency not his problem. As Carey put it last night some blokes accumulate and some are genuine guns. He's more of the former but still a very decent player
Am sensing the afl hav put a muzzle on hungry journalists who normally at this stage would be wanting blood in regards to driving coaches out of their jobs because it has been seriously quiet in regards to mick malthouse's mantle is a deliberate no go zone in place due to it being the week in which he broke the all time coaching record

You may well be right but, there's also been a few other story's over the weekend. Hodge, Lewis, May, Richmond, the Gold Coast lads and of course The Dogs beating the saints. Mick is old news so to speak these fresh story's maybe rate higher???

Maybe even the chiefs of the newspapers have declared they don't want micks blood on their papers in this particular week
But look out Monday morning if the blues don't beat Brisbane this week at the mcg on mother day
So I've been thinking about who could coach us next year.
In no particular order;
Voss - experienced and didn't do a bad job with Brisbane, will only be better for having been at Port. Brisbane could be deemed to have gone backward since he left. Sanderson - has he learnt from his mistakes, who knows. Ratten - would we dip the toe in the water again?
Others;
Sumich - ran second in the recent WCE selection process but broadsided the panel/board on the way through Stewy Dew - rated highly by Sydney Bolton - been part of the Hawthorn hierarchy for a long time Dean Laidley - asst to Mick Knights - didn't really do a bad job at Essendon - could be worth another go Burns - must be on the radar soon enough for some team

your first three are out for the following reasons
Voss - apparently Port have not allowed the "get out of contract for head coach" clause in Voss' contract. Sanderson - no particular reason just don't do it Ratten - why would he go back to that rabble?
In all honesty I think someone has to come from the inner sanctum of Carlton, someone that has Carlton in their blood. They've been somewhat of a basket case since their salary cap breach from the Big John days.
Most "more financial" clubs have cycles of peaks and troughs, Carlton haven't reached any great heights for a very long time.

I look at the era at WC with disdain. Chick, Cousins, Fletcher, Kerr to name a few that only just got thru that era with their lives semi in tact. I doubt "straighten the players out" would be a selling point on his business card.
