Re: What is wrong with Carlton

The board is factionalised. Whoever manages to get the numbers brings in their cronies/favourites and bad-mouths the previous lot. They rule by threat/promise of donations withheld/made and have no idea what it takes to make a football club competitive in the 21st century.
Coaching appointments have been botched, drafting and trading is average, free agency has been handled badly, player development is inadequate, list management is poor, succession planning is ignored, members are overcharged and not engaged, the relationship with the Northern Blues is flawed and there isn't a tangible and achievable vision for the future.
In fact, one could say that no-one at the club really knows what success looks like.
Despite all of that, I don't think we're too far off the pace. Some good decisions and we could be on the improve.
