Well the review is in.
Decisions are probably well advanced (some may have even been made prior to the whole thing starting ;) )

It's just a waiting game now and next week looks set to be an interesting one.
I wonder if the rumours around Eddie retiring mean he has got a sniff that his mate Teaguey is gonski.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I think it's probably more a case of the club has said to Eddie
'It's time, we've got a lot of small forward options we'd like to develop, we're not offering you a contract for next year...but by 'retiring' it looks like it's your decision."
I'm sure the club will look after Eddie with a job.

LoG handing over the reigns this week (earlier than planned) so that Sayers has clean air to deliver findings and implement change. My immediate thought is that LoG is no longer the executioner, Sayers is. Interesting couple of weeks coming up.

MLG's open letter states that what the Board received last week was an "update", and the review is in fact still continuing :

The independent, external panel last week provided an update to incoming President Luke Sayers and the Board. This update was part of the review process which remains ongoing and any further updates will be communicated to members in due course.

Ill go you one better.

Whoever is coaching Carlton next year, you can bet that there is a lucrative sponsorship deal that will go through with it.

We are not serving anything but the almighty dollar, and football clubs are not football clubs anymore.

They are financial entities in the entertainment industry, and our niche market that the CFC has carved out for itself, is to be the villain that everyone despises, and loves kicking whilst they are down and we work extremely hard not to lift ourselves off the canvas, and its our hubris that does it.

"Stability and managed succession are still the keys to the future success of this football club" says LoG.

Not convinced our decision makers know what stability means. Our recent history tells a story of significant instability.

You don't ever call a review mid-season. Players, coaches are playing with a sword hanging over them for half a year. Eventually you get so much disunity you get what we have seen the last couple of weeks. Trust everywhere is gone. Teague had little support, no help, players being interviewed about him, essentially hung out to dry. Then we expect a young coach to perform under pressure and his players to perform each week. Easy for us sitting being our keyboard, we're not there copping it and coping with the stress. Damn lucky we were still a finals chance for as long as it was.

There's things he could have focussed more on, like team defence, but that defence did work ok when the players felt like doing it, as is also a big issue discussed ad nauseum, especially after that blast at half time against Hawthorn. Last year was our chance. We were equal 4th for qtrs won, but the 5 goal bursts, hence bad qtrs, cost us. Young coach rookie error. That could be sorted with another preseason. Last preseason was unfortunately a short one due to COVID. Plus too we choked up 2 last qtrs in 5 days when finals looked right on for us.

I just hope we stick with Teague and find some gun assistant coaches to support him and, in particular, run the midfield.

We saw what it did for Kennedy and Dow when Barker walked out. We need fresh ideas across all lines but in particular our midfield is our biggest issue.

Agree about the review timing. Atrocious people management that effectively torpedoed the club’s season by destroying trust from top down. I hope Sayers has learned something but I doubt it. It was an act of arrogance that portends ill for the future.
Reality always wins in the end.

I guess we will never know which individual(s) are responsible for our debt free financial position, but whomever they are, I say thanks. Hopefully this will be the first step in ridding ourselves of moneyed, external power brokers for good.  

MLG strikes me as being a good Carlton man. I've got no doubt he loves the club, but I'm not sure he has the clout or the personality to deal with interfering busybodies who act with very poor judgment.

One has to wonder whether Sayers knew exactly what he was doing, knew it would lead to bad results, which then provides "evidence" that Teague is not the man for the job.

Paul I’m shocked - your cynicism exceeds mine. 😉😎

'Old Carlton' by now, even well before now, would have sacked Teague and a caretaker would be, or would have been, in place. For those, including me, who've questioned our Board, I sense change in governance and procedures is afoot. Thus far, a pleasant change and hopefully indicative of a 'new' and strong direction. Good to see MLG handing over this week. On his watch the dreadful debt has been erased, an important legacy... now to strengthen those foundations and address and restructure the footy dept. Hard to imagine those complicit in the poor governance re the footy dept getting off scot-free. Has the broom of accountability hit the floor ready to begin sweeping?

Well, I guess I remain one of the few who doesn't have an issue with launching an independent review mid-season - for me this was a 'long view' approach. At the risk of appearing somewhat callous, only the non-performers need feel pressured by something like this. Plus I'd prefer, using a medical metaphor, a patient's (CFC) concerning symptomatology be addressed asap, regardless of who might feel pressured or inconvenienced.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
