Position vacant: Carlton AFLW Senior Coach

[PaulP]

Well, that cheered me up no end.

Have we taken on more than we can digest here? Looks like it. I would like to see all the focus on the seniors personally, let's get back on track there asap! We can do without this kind of distraction.

At least now we know why the girls looked as flat as a stack of pancakes after first couple of games.

And it's things like this that have me worried whether the New Carlton is in fact really new, or is it just papering over the cracks ? This is so unprofessional, it's embarrassing. The girls have been treated pretty badly.

Well if we can't do it professionally we shouldn't be doing it until we can do so. It's not fair on the people involved and it rekindles all the doubts about the club. Under-hype and over-deliver, NOT the other way round.

What a right royal FU.

Yes, no doubt as always there's at least 2 sides. But based on external appearances, what is written sounds pretty plausible IMO.

It's really bizarre because marketing wise our club has done a fantastic job. From the outside it looked like we were leading the way for women's football.

Yes, I agree. It was either a cynical marketing exercise from the get go, or else the club started with genuine good intensions but just had no idea what they were doing.

Either way, the girls and the public (especially the girls) deserve much better. This has all the makings of a PR disaster.

That's called "over hyping and under delivering". Words are easy, actions more difficult.
