Re: Carlton vs Brisbane Practice Match
Reply #170 –
Point i am trying to make is this.
Results over 1 year can vary wildly depending on many things, including plain dumb luck. (Look at Brittain, and the year Ratten got sacked)
Results over many years tell a much better story.
A player both at Carlton, and looking in at Carlton see us sacking Bolton after years of failure and think, ok, well he probably had it coming, but they gave him a fair crack. There was no knee-jerk reaction.
A player both at Carlton, and looking in at Carlton see us sacking Teague 1 year after we appointed him after sacking Bolton and see a basketcase or was quick to pull the trigger and thus would be quick to do it again in the future. (Ala Tigers prior to Hardwick).
Constant 'resetting' or rebuilding. Better to jump NOW.
1 year tells you nothing......unless you sack the coach....and then it tells you too much.
Im tipping a player looking in at Carlton would have said "yep they've done it again, sacked another coach".
