Reset Rants

[Thryleon]

The reset is about much more than embracing the draft and learning how to trade players for picks. And if it isn't, then we've learned nothing.

Agree.

In some ways the Bolton situation is going to be a KPI of how much our club has learned and how far we have come.

Old Carlton would have simply pulled the pin on him and gone out and gotten the most credentialled coach available to replace him.

New Carlton needs to act in a logical well thought out and reasonable manner.  If that means we need to move Bolton on, then a clear concise thought process and methodology will result in that decision, the club will act fairly transparently and the public will generally accept the decision.

Stephen Trigg's departure smelt a bit of old Carlton, and that might be something that has people a little bit on edge regarding which way we are going to go.  If you also consider that the club has a history of treated the rank and file with a little bit of disrespect, it leads to a bit of mistrust amongst the faithful which in turn creates a little bit of a result of the club holding its breathe.  The silence from the club has been a little bit deafening, but at the same time welcome because irrespective of what is thought, they are not canvassing publically.

Cain Liddle might want to get a wriggle on though.  Stephen Trigg was very engaged with the supporter base, and I find him to have been a little bit stand offish particularly at a time when a calm well reasoned voice from the footy club might be appreciated.
