Carlton Supporters Club

I thought this rebuild was all about doing things differently ?

If Buckley the uber perfectionist can let go, I'm sure Bolton can, especially if that's what it takes to keep his job. He's young enough, he's smart enough........

And if that's his biggest problem, then we're sweet.

I sincerely hope you're right. He'd better move quickly, very quickly... those drums we can hear aint coming from Gilligan's Island.

Members/Supporters are like shareholders, they want a return on their time and money....yep you can leave it but thats
what the Elliott years were about, ignoring joe average and getting them to swallow every line of BS that came out of
Princes Park. The difference with us and the big clubs like a Geelong is that they stop, think and reset, we just keep doing the same thing
waiting for it to turn around, waiting for other clubs to drop off, waiting for Godot to turn up.

Nope. We did, and are doing, exactly that (ie stop, think and reset, probably for the first time in our history). Those in charge now have gone through a due process with every appointment, trade and draft pick. Unlike the scatter gun approach and male appendage comparing of days gone by. Things will go wrong, they always do but it wont be for a lack of planning, research and hard work. That is what has given me the absolute s h i t s pre this regime.

My point is when things did go wrong the Cats did a review on the whole operation not just the coach and reset what they were doing, we need similar IMO. It isnt working and after 4 years we shouldnt be
bottom 4 as it seems to be panning out As Geelong showed its doesnt mean sacking the coach just changing the course and doing things different, changing roles, delegating different jobs etc etc the club seem to have trouble admitting its not working. This is my problem with where we are...admit failure and reset the business, happens every day in the business world and turn arounds are common place.
Or do we keep drifting along the same way for the rest of the season?

I think the review wouldn't reveal much though at the moment.

I think that they knew this was a likely outcome, with a bit of luck we would see more improvement by now (i.e. Kreuzer and Docherty playing 5 games between them from last year to this year is not an anticipated outcome and probably has a bigger impace on the W/L column than anything else).

If at the end of next year, things are samish, then I think you would rightly find where its fallen over in a much better fashion.

I agree. There's not many on here who think the end of 2020 is the "right" time to do such a review - you, me, kruddler, maybe a couple of others. Most everyone else thinks it's crazy and way too generous.

I don't think it's crazy or generous....I do think it's unrealistic.
But I've been surprised at the level of support up until now.
That's a credit to the salesmen.
Whether they eventually prove to be snake oil salesmen or true visionaries will be known down the track.

Also Lods, bear in mind that a detailed and top to bottom review could conclude that we need to continue with BB! A review should not be a foregone conclusion if done properly and honestly, rather than with a particular outcome in mind.

We should be having these reviews every year during a "rebuild".
Thats not to say sack him. I think we should stay the course until end of next year as well, but surely constant review is needed in any profession so changes can be made to correct any problems

for what it's worth, even though I think we should wait until end 2020 before deciding whether or not to get rid of BB, I think if we dont win any games in the next 8-10 he may find himself gone.
