Re: Review - Professer E - 06-13-2021
Balme would never come to Carlton, the perception he has always given is that he regards us akin to something you'd avoid stepping in on your front lawn. Roos, another football "messiah", is the same. And why would they, considering the entrenched culture of mediocrity?

And why would they, considering the entrenched culture of mediocrity?Quite a powerful statement that, think about how many people (coaches, assistants, CEOs, Footy Managers etc) have come through the doors over a period of time and had a crack, yet still, we cant seem to be snapped out of this apparent "funk". Who or what is going to change it this time?
Re: Review - Professer E - 06-13-2021
Sorry, phone ate my post.
I think it underlines the fact that the club is close to rock bottom, culturally, and bringing in outsiders to "magically fix it" (I can't express this elegantly) is misguided. I think we need to develop our own Balme or Roos or Clarkson internally, not hire somebody else because that's what we've always done. My Amos it Teague is that person?
And except for Barassi and Parkin, 50 years ago, it's never worked. So, I reckon this review is basically a waste of time other than it allows us it reset our thinking and attitude, kind of a penny drops moment.
I think a lot of the answers have actually been expressed in this site in the previous week - the playing group itself can do a helluva lot to turn this around I reckon - as pointed out by kruddler I think, develop a feral mindset for hunting the opposition to pressure, tackle and harass. There's your defensive pressure. Play harder and not nice and friendly. That would have won us at least three more games this year.
Sure, our coaching staff need to wise up as well, but I don't think we're far away and it could turn around fast, but it's going to take a massive shift in mindset and attitude for it to do so (= culture) . Otherwise we are going to be doomed to mediocrity for ever.

Seeing him successful with Richmond just makes it worse. I'm not into messiahs but if we have to have one I would go with Ross Lyon who has been at Carlton before and get someone like Choco Williams on board too.
A couple of weirdos might be what we need..
My preference is to continue with DT for stability but I think the pressure won't lift on him or the club unless he gets a 3 year extension and I don't see that happening.

Agree completely [member=57]ElwoodBlues1[/member] ... you're still a mate [member=160]Gointocarlton[/member]
You certainly didn't tread on my toes brother. Just don't mention Mal Brown or nuts kicker Francis Bourke.

It made sure we lost the grand final. Kevin Hall had to be moved from the half back flank to full back. Carlton players forgot the ball and spent the game trying to even up with Balme.
For those who say we should forgive because, after all, it was a long time ago, I just say "You had to be there".

Diesel could handball the footy with pin point precision over 30m through traffic and a mesh of opponents while being tackled and under duress, but from just an arm length away kneeling on stable ground besides an opponent he missed the footy completely and caught the jaw squarely!
Re: Review - WASurfer - 06-14-2021
Not for one second questioning the appointment of Matthew Pavlich to this review "committee"......comes across as very intelligent and footy smart guy. But if he's not actually able to travel back and forwards from Perth to Melbourne for a lot of the process because of COVID restrictions, surely that makes things a little bit harder? I would've thought you'd need to be right there at the coal face, talking to players and everyone else? I know in this modern world of Zoom meetings etc it happens every day, but just wouldn't have thought it's ideal?

It's 50 years gone , Southby forgave him years ago and they get on ok. We were happy to take Diesel after what he did to Rhys-Jones and plenty are talking up Clarko for coach despite what he did to Ian Aikten.
