oh you're all saying how much of an injustice mick getting sacked is but where were you when portugal got voted out of the eurovision semi

It's hard to believe that a team with Jason Tutt and Mark Whiley could be bad enough to have its coach sacked.

Oh God. What am I going to tell Nanette? #unemployed #Malthouse

Carlton handle sackings like they play football.
— Titus O'Reily (@TitusOReily) May 26, 2015
Badly.
This is the strangest day at @CarltonFC since they won that elimination final under #Malthouse despite missing the 8.

Knock Knock Who's there? Not Mick Malthouse

Eat Sleep Appoint coach Sack coach Repeat

Wonder if Carlton will announce Malthouse sacking today, then bow to external pressure and give him a 3 year extension tomorrow?
— Nathan Horne (@FootyFreakNath) May 26, 2015
Can we please send @Stevo7AFL to do Mick's exit interview?
— Fake Fox Sports News (@Fake_FSN) May 26, 2015
Probably break Australian TV Ratings records.

Blaine Boekhorst saw this coming from a mile off. #mickgone
— Nick Wade (@nick_wade) May 26, 2015
I blame @bboekhorst9 #Malthouse #Sacked #NAVYBLUES
— Sir Mick Madhouse (@SirMickMadhouse) May 26, 2015
“Either the whole team has to go or Mick does.” I bet Boekhorst is feeling glad it was Mick and not the team now.
Mick would be safe and staring at an extension if he'd just put in place a rogue supplement program.

Just got an email from WADA saying they're going to appeal Carlton's decision to sack Malthouse.

Cam Guthrie a genius. Now owns Judd's jumper from Mick's last game.
— Daniel Cherny (@DanielCherny) May 26, 2015
I like how Mick went out swinging, taking shots at the CFC board. He's been great for footy entertainment. #thanksmalthouse

Child Welfare Services have arrived at Carlton to make sure Dale Thomas is still being cared for. #Maltout
— Richard Hinds (@rdhinds) May 26, 2015
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN! What on EARTH is Dale Thomas going to do now that he cant kick the ball with Mick? Switch clubs?
— Paige Cardona (@paigecardona) May 26, 2015
Dale Thomas right now pic.twitter.com/b4Yuo6cIOy
— Ethan (@ethan_meldrum) May 26, 2015
Dale Thomas clearly upset. No comment about Mick's sacking accept to say he got a parking ticket so been a pretty crap day @superfooty
— eliza sewell (@ElizaJSewell) May 26, 2015
A shattered Dale Thomas had left the club. Hasn't been a great day for him- loses Mick and got a parking fine as well.
— Nat Edwards (@NatEdwards_AFL) May 26, 2015
You’ve got to feel a bit for Daisy Thomas, Mick’s son-he-never-had (aside from the sons he did have). Has lost his mentor and copped a parking fine in the same day.
He's got til the end is yr/he's got til mid-season/he's gone today. Feel for Mick. Carlton is a basketcase. Board members should go too.

BREAKING: Carlton
— Andy Maher (@MGMaherSEN) May 26, 2015
May 11th : Mick will coach the rest of the season. May 25th : We'll make a call on Mick at the bye. May 26th : Mick sacked. #AFL
— Luke Watson (@LukeWatson79) May 26, 2015
Bottom of the ladder and sacked the coach just two months into the season. You’d say it can only get better from here but I’m sure Carlton will find new ways to disappoint us.
"Yes, Yes. Everything is going to plan!" #AFL #Malthouse pic.twitter.com/9S94hdIxUh
— Paige Cardona (@paigecardona) May 26, 2015
The idea that this has all been part of some Eddie McGuire master plan is far too plausible for us to be entirely comfortable.
Carlton say coach search will focus on: - Proven track record - Premiership winner - Experience in rebuilding lists - Not Mick #Malthouse
— Sportsbet.com.au (@sportsbetcomau) May 26, 2015
Carlton make their senior coach position so… appealing. Certainty of spotlight. Plenty of pressure. Likely sacking. Who wouldn't want it?
— Robert Griffin (@RLGriffinGWS) May 26, 2015
You know who I hope ends up getting the Carlton coaching gig? My worst enemy.
— Titus O'Reily (@TitusOReily) May 26, 2015
You’d have to have a few concerns for the mental wellbeing of anyone willing to put their name forward for the Carlton coaching job.
Believe the hovercraft is among the frontrunners to replace Mick Malthouse.
— Footy Couch (@footycouch) May 26, 2015
Malthouse was a dead man walking the minute he got rid of Josh Bootsma.
— Titus O'Reily (@TitusOReily) May 26, 2015
We might not have been on the same page, but I have to thank Mick for where I am today.
— Jeremy Laidler (@Laids) May 26, 2015
So this is how my career ends again… with We Are Geelong ringing in my ears, at the hands of Chris Scott. How… inappropriate. #Malthouse
