Carlton Football Club has secured the services of highly regarded coach Cameron Bruce, who will join the Blues as a senior assistant coach.

Since retiring from AFL in 2012, Bruce has served as an assistant coach under Alastair Clarkson at Hawthorn. The 37-year-old enjoyed a decorated career as a player that spanned 234 games from 2000-2012 at Melbourne and Hawthorn, before embarking on a coaching career.

Bruce will join the Blues’ current crop of assistant coaches including John Barker, Dale Amos, Tim Clarke and Shane Watson. Head of Football Andrew McKay said Bruce would be a valuable addition to Carlton’s coaching ranks.

“Cameron has impressive credentials and his playing experience and knowledge of the modern game will be a terrific asset for our young playing group,” McKay said.
“As we broaden our coaching panel, Cameron will be working closely with Brendon and our line coaches around strategy and analytics.

It's still not particularly definitive.
What line will he be taking? Has he got a line or is he purely about analytics?

Here's one I prepared earlier on Cameron The Bruce...

Cam Bruce as a player

Played over 200 games for Melb, mostly as a goal-kicking midfielder. But he was tall and versatile and was used as a utility, on the HBF, on the wing and a little up forward. Kind of in the Gibbs/Deledio mould, but not as flashy or skilled. Very good footballer, but not a star. Was co-captain and vice-captain during some of the dark days at Melb and won a B&F and placed in a few other seasons. Was moved on when Melbourne retired anyone who had reached puberty, and played two injury ravaged seasons at Hawthorn before retiring in mid-2012.

Cam Bruce as a coach

Bruce was appointed as a development coach with the Hawks in 2013 and after impressing in his role as a development coach, was promoted to a senior assistant coach with the Hawks in late 2013 (from Wiki). Has been there since.

Cam Bruce at Carlton

• Cam was a talented, honest footballer. He had good fitness, nice skills and clearly was disciplined enough for the club to rely on him in various roles.
• He was appointed co-captain and vice-captain, so you'd think he was a pretty solid citizen. A B&F in a spoon year looks unimpressive in one aspect, but it also shows he didn't throw in the chips when things turned sour.
• He was quickly appointed to the Hawthorn coaching panel after retiring. And apparently quickly promoted to assistant coach after that.
• Bolts would be familiar with his work and character. And Bruce would be familiar with what Bolts is doing (given its significantly modeled on Hawthorn).
