Since 2000 we have had 2 coaches that have never played the game and two dinosaurs way past it. no coincidence the one coach, who had played and was younger had by far the most success. Basket case to finals in 2 years then sacked him. This issue is our inability to pick the right coach at the right time is our issue, similar to having Wayne Hughes as our recruiter. We pick the wrong ones.
So the problem does run deeper than the coach. The problem seems to be our inability to select the right coach - so how do we fix that??

The coach and the recruiter are everything. Look what happen at Port when they swapped from Primus to Hinkley. Horrible to finals in one year.
But while we were going from basket case to finals under your supposedly excellent coach our list was rotting to its core.
How many players who played under Ratten played in today's team?
How many 10 or even 5 year players did we draft or trade in during his years?
There more to long term success than winning the occasional finals match.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

BB made an interesting comment about Crippa when asked if he needs to be managed from being banged up. He said something like, even with help, do you you think Crippa wont go to a contest hard? Of course he will.

Not fair on them admittedly as some might have ability but they just don't seem to command the respect. So don't go there. Those are simple mistakes for starters.
So we need as a club to become a lot more savvy about who we need as a coach and in how we attract and retain them at our club? BB was selected as the result of a much vaunted selection process aligned to the future rebuild plans of the club. Appointing BB was the outcome of all of that. If he is not the right coach does his selection cast doubt over the whole plan? Do we need more fundamental change in the decision making processes and the people involved at the club?? If we use the same people and processes that appointed BB how could we expect to achieve a better result next time?
