Culture

[JonHenry]

Well said!

Neither clubs had sustained success.
Ask Geelong, Hawthorn and Sydney about culture.

On field culture is at it's lowest ebb. We get rid of so-called bad boys, nothing's changed,

Really? How many of our blokes this year got knocked out 5am on a Sunday, received a broken eye socket in the process and then said they did it sparring with their private boxing coach? Gimme a break will ya!!

I think you will find that the culture isn't that much different at the playing level, but very different at board level.

Hawthorn in particular has a carefully crafted club persona that is almost unrelated to the playing list.

Carltons cultural problem is driven by its constitution

When you have board directors that have a guaranteed 12 years of sitting on the board things turn too slowly. ..we have directors like gleeson who are still on the board since pagans days...

Your mate changed the constitution. A constitution that had stood for 150 years and made us the most successful club in history.

I don't think you can blame the constitution.

Come back to me why 12 year terms of directors is ok...

The tribe spoke after the lost trust. So you wold just set the team rules but then when someone "special" breaks the team rules, you would change them would you ? Come mate, let it go. He forked up time after time then lost trust of the players and they voted him out. Its great that he got the kick in the ass he required, hope he goes onto bigger and better things as a result. Some blokes who a immature need a jolt to make them wake up and smell the roses. Football clubs teach life lessons, sometime they benefit the player rather than the club as in the case of Robbo. That life.

Who has challenged Gleesons position?

If nobody wants to challenge, they get automatically reelected.

FYI, your mate changed the constitution so that he has to approve who can actually run to get elected! That lessens the chance that people win actually run, and lessen the chance even more that they will actually replace anyone!

Great rule that is! Not.

Who is now studying sports journalism, writes A blog for Brisbane FC website, won a best and fairest and showed great leadership to a young group this year.

We don't work with these guys, We cast them off at the first sign of trouble.

The more I think about it the angrier I get. We have been shizenhouzen for how long now (bar the odd good year here and there)? Whats the common denominator? The basket case of a board and its factions and pissing contests! It just gotta forken change for us to move in the direction required for sustained success.
