What is wrong with Carlton - Blue_MM - 04-20-2015
Hey guys!! So I haven't been on this forum for a long time now, and I apologise if a thread of a similar sort has already been started.
After watching only one game (round 1) and being 3 rounds in I am claiming that I am "over" footy. Now I love the blue boys through and through. When they came to my hometown I stalked them haha for two days and got as many signatures and photos as I could. I love the club and an proud of its history. I bleed Navy!
So, I was wondering if there had been a general concensus as to what the heck is going on!? The first quarter of round 1 was a different Carlton. They were tackling aggressively, running through the corridor, reading the play excellently. Then the old Carlton reared its ugly head for the rest of the match. So, Is it the list? Do I just have my navy blue lenses on and think that my team is capable of achieving more when in reality they can't? Is it the coaching staff? Pls explain.

We should start looking on what is right and what can be fixed internally, then we should start thinking about what is wrong and what needs external action to repair the problem

The board is factionalised. Whoever manages to get the numbers brings in their cronies/favourites and bad-mouths the previous lot. They rule by threat/promise of donations withheld/made and have no idea what it takes to make a football club competitive in the 21st century.
Coaching appointments have been botched, drafting and trading is average, free agency has been handled badly, player development is inadequate, list management is poor, succession planning is ignored, members are overcharged and not engaged, the relationship with the Northern Blues is flawed and there isn't a tangible and achievable vision for the future.
In fact, one could say that no-one at the club really knows what success looks like.
Despite all of that, I don't think we're too far off the pace. Some good decisions and we could be on the improve.

Just wondering, many reckon the new Prez and a CEO (present company not yet convinced) get a tick each and we are on the right track. Next down the tree is McKay. Do people think there is heat on him? Has he done a good job to date? Thoughts? Can we do better?

What's wrong with Carlton?

Not sure about that EB; I don't think Mick will have much to do with it, even if he is retained.
Andy McKay's days are numbered, regardless of how well he has done his job. He was appointed by the other faction.

Ha ha. Where on this earth do we find the people to have a total independent review. Your funny, I tell you that much. Then again something tells me you are not trying to be funny.

The independent review would find the previous administration was incompetent and looking for quick fixes. The measures the board have put in place will give Carlton 5 premierships in a row if we're patient
