The number of posts to this topic shows the concern that supporters/members are feeling after last weekend. Not only at the game outcome, but the deficiencies in player selection and player management.
It is suggested a letter could be sent to the club, (say to Brian Cook Chief Executive Officer) from the Moderators seeking explanation to some of the decision made by the coaches/selectors and hopefully some acknowledgement of mistakes .
There have been lots of good points raised by various CSC members (including several by Baggers that hit the bullseye. imo). To get the ball rolling, here are a few thoughts from various member postings for someone to compose a letter.
Team Selection - Carlton v Brisbane final
Selecting payers who had been out injured, had been breaking down consistently during the season or broke down when last played,
Players who had performed poorly when selected for previous games.
Ignoring three young players who were match fit and had performed well in the last two AFL games.
Leaving out Cincotta our best shut down player.
Team selection - Season 2024
Not rewarding player form in our VFL side
Failure to play young players from VFL side during the season in order they experience AFL tempo and to view their potential/development progress.
Dropping consistent performers Kennedy and Hewett to VFL side
Selecting players on perceived ability or past performance, not on form. (playing favourites)
VFL side - Strong seconds side/club culture often a feature of AFL premiership winning clubs.
(Eg Box hill Hawks, Geelong VFL Cats, Casey Demons, etc)
Our AFL listed players more likely to be ready for move up, if playing in a strong VFL side.
Carlton VFL side appears not to have the required level of support from the club to achieve.
