Strange year.
Who was the coach then ?
Ian Thorogood
So was there some guy Donaldson and Nicholls a bit earlier?
Sounds like we changed coaches super regularly in mid and late 70's.
What did Thorogood do to be a coach of an elite football team ?
Graham Donaldson was an Assistant Coach who, from memory, filled in on the odd occasion for Barassi & Nicholls.
Thorogood seemed to be a very likable chap, but I'm not sure why he got the gig at Carlton. Ultimately he only coached for 2 years - 1976 & 1977.
Thanks mate, appreciate the follow up and missed reading it until today.
My explanation of Carlton's frustrating 1970s....

Wow, thanks for filling in what went on before I started following us in 1978.
