Carlton vs Brisbane Practice Match

[cookie2]

After 11 games, both he and Dinkum Dave have the same record. And our pre season wasn't great, so once the 2019 post bye euphoria wears off, there's not much in it.

Winning flags is the ultimate, but most clubs think of regular finals, and I guess going deep into finals, as a measure of success. What happened 50 years ago is not really relevant. Thinking of more recent times, he is the latest in a long line of entrenched failure. You may feel a certain smug satisfaction from believing he failed more than our other recent coaches, but I see no value in ranking failure. A spoon is a spoon, and a sacking is a sacking. If you want to count 1 win here, and 1 loss there,  knock yourself out.

Unfortunately we can only regard the failure of a growing string of coaches as a collective failure of the club over a prolonged period of time. I don't believe any of us on here would know fully what has being going on behind the scenes and how it may have affected the coach and so I don't think that there is a  lot to be gained from finger pointing at individuals. I think though that there may still be a significant degree of turmoil in play at the club and I'm not really optimistic about the coming season. Just hope I'm wrong.
