Carlton Supporters Club

Who really GAF that the Tiges had 3 only in their group......

Pretty obvious it's a transition period set up.

Simmo and Smurf on the way out.

Tractor - reward for effort. 28yo now.

Ed C. - role model par excellence. Legend. 28yo now.

Doc, Plow and Crippa - the future.

They're the benchmark at the moment, on and off the field.

I reckon any thinking Tigers supporters would, if that's not an oxymoron.

Having only three players worthy of the leadership group could be a portent of troubled times ahead.

Agree, they made the most of their luck last year.

That has to be at best a wildly presumptuous assumption.
3 leaders for 42 or so players. That actually seems to be a very good number.

I hear what you are saying Paul, I just don't particularly agree.
I think there are fairly good reasons to limit the number of leaders and have the message come through a small group of voices. Natural leaders will take it upon themselves to ensure their colleagues are living those values and they don't all need titles.

I also think the quality of leaders and their ability to get the message through to the group is a greater deal that what perhaps you do Paul. I agree it won't be the defining reason of our success or lack of it this year, but I think it makes a difference and is something we should be aiming to get right.

Care to elaborate on the this "luck" thingy? If it wins you flags, we need get us some of that stuff stat!

Every team that wins a flag needs some luck. I think with the Tiges, they had a great run with injuries, and they also recruited the missing puzzle pieces at the same time. Balme, Caracella, Nankervis, Prestia and Caddy.

It had alot more to do with the bit in bold. Its utter nonsense to suggest they got lucky and are no good. They proved the old saying, a champion team will always beat a team of champions. As Bill Bilichick says, "Do Your Job".

I had 45 staff and seven managers reporting to me and my 2iC.  That worked extremely well.  Of course, a footy team is not the same as a work organisation but leadership principles still apply.

Limiting the number of leaders is not conducive to good leadership.
