My thoughts.
- Dew or Bolton appointed Senior Coach
- John Barker appointed VFL coach
- New Recruiting Manager
- Overhaul of our development staff
- Jono Brown to replace Brad Green as one of our Assistant Coaches
- Geelong's 1st Pick for Hendon, passed to Brisbane for Aish
- Keep Yazz, unless a super tempting deal is offered
- Carlisle for our 2nd rounder
- Nab one of Aish or Carlisle in the PSD if either Brisbane or predicable the Scum are being difficult in negotiations.
- Bailey Rice to choose us
- Grab SOS Jr Mk I with a late pick, so he can start his development through the VFL next year instead of another year of TAC Cup.
- Weitering with our 1st pick

[1] Put more resources into the Northern Blues with a full time coach, not just one of our development lads, and a decent list. get them training with the seniors as much as possible and get some real esprit de corps in them.
[2] Evaluate the fitness regime, so we an be the fittest club in the comp.
[3] Work on our skills under pressure, so we don't miss targets.
[4] Make sure all of our lads go through the goal kicking stuff. Nobody get to leave until they kick their quota of goals. That includes all of the defenders.
[5] With a new head coach, it will be highly likely that there will be changes in the assistant's ranks. Fine. Get together a good team and get them to work as such.
[6] Manage the list to make sure we have no possible outstanding free agents. Massage the contracts to make sure we have a tough minded, committed bunch of players. Trade out the ones who are not committed if necessary.
[7] Get the Draft right! No more disasters like 2010.
[8] Evaluate the board. Determine who is playing power games and who is there for the club. Get in some fresh talent if necessary, especially considering a few ex-players.
[10] Start using some of our resources to provide more for our players, so our players do not have as much time on their hands to get into trouble, so that our players know there will be benefits of being at Carlton other than just a decent pay packet, get them involved in many aspects of the club so they feel they matter more to the club.
[11] Have SOS analyse the recruiting process, so we become the leader in recruiting. Granted he already has a big role in the development of our recruiting department, but we need to make sure we get things right.
Live Long and Prosper!

Stand alone VFL team.....there can be no argument against given the failure of development and the NB's as a joint team..its reached embarrassing levels.
Webster fired and replaced with Rohan Welsh
Ross Lyon as coach with Simon Lloyd as head of development to work with SOS....will cost but money can make it happen....Dew, Bolton, Barker are all risky...Lyon has turned crap clubs around twice and has the runs on the board..
The board spilled...
Andy McKay moved on
No to Aish...soft overated, overhyped dud......
Yes to Carlisle...PSD...Bombers get nothing...
Henderson and Yarran traded out......
Weitering with our first pick...
Inducements to get Rice to pick us...
No Director of coaching....biggest BS position in football... a decent coach doesnt need some old has been to hold his hand...(thats no slight on Lods or others who rate the position...I just dont see any use for a DOC.)
Cripps made Vice Captain

excellent suggestions on here. I hope the club is watching
Reminding all, there's no quick fixes or easy way out
