Where do you think Carlton will finish in 2017?

Whether they like it or not is not relevant. I think conceptually a succession plan is a great idea. Otherwise what else is there ? The usual media circus, mounting pressure, loss after loss, then the coach gets sacked. You think that's better ? The fact that Bucks so far has stunk it up does not invalidate the original idea. The idea is good - the choice of replacement, perhaps less so.

Not a forced succession plan.

It worked with roos,  because roos had had enough, and didn't want the job anymore.

As for the selection process,  like a normal job interview you canvass the candidates available and hire accordingly.
Not thrust the chosen one into the hot seat and then oust the previous one.

You know how we selected Bolton.
