News Andrew McKay to leave Carlton at seasons end

[footyfan1978]

He has been involved with football admin for 10 plus years?

I believe so. Prefer him as a player and vet.

 

[Accidental genius]

as our team selections have shown - no-one gets graham right............

humour machine......

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

It's such a vital role these days and has become so in the last 3-4 years. Hope Carlton get someone of the highest level. Very important

Im available.

Brett Burton might be looking for a new job very shortly??

Seven Trillion to one. His presser yesterday was so bad.

 

[RoyalParade]

Could Liddle have poached the Richmond Head of Football? Whoever that is..

Neil balme.

Hope so but wouldn't think so.

Andy Maher indicated on SEN that we already have McKay's replacement lined up, but they are currently employed at another club, so he did not name names.
Sounds like the old Dick Pratt philosophy of "don't get the best available.......get the best!"
If that's the case it might be Neil Balme?
Have we forgiven him yet for what he did to Southby?

I reckon one free king-hit and we call it even .....

 

[RoyalParade]

Few people sinking the boot in a bit too much here. McKay was a solid operator, but the club has to be more critical to progress further. McKay is more suited to more nebulous structures, like the direction and spirit of the game, rather than extracting best results out of a football department.

Likely won't be SOS.

Interesting.

Whatever happens, exciting times over the next 6 months.

This is why liddle was bought in.

Liddle making a big impression already from the sounds of it.

Thanks Macca, was one of my favourite players.

from behind - and he can be the one who puts the 73 cup in its rightful place...............

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

keep walking.........

I agree he is not particularly impressive, but if he has played a key role in the crows on field performance over the past few years then I would hope a poor press conference when he was always on a hiding to nothing wouldn't count him out.

not many friends at Adelaide - mind you they're looking for every scapegoat they can get - terribly sad for them - last year's grand finalists currently sitting 10th

Another poaching effort from Adelaide on the cards...?
A.McKay Carlton to Adelaide train

Even more tragic when we have their 2nd round draft pick..

gibbs, sticks, macca - Glenelg has been very kind to us over the years.....

Wasn't it McKay's whiteboard that gave away our AFLW recruiting want list?
Big thumbs down for that.

Assume we would do our due diligence and be speaking to the right people to get a proper understanding of how he operates.. Even speaking to Gibbsy who I am sure we would be honest. I just threw his name out there as he first came to mind, but being Carlton I would imagine we would be chasing a bigger fish and I reckon Juddy could be the right fit.. If Tom Harley can walk into the role at Sydney and then Josh Mahoney at Melbourne then i reckon with the right guidance Juddy has all the attributes to be a very good Head of Football, and then potentially more.

Neil balme.

Hope so but wouldn't think so.

If he walked in the doors us older ones would burn the place down.

Not just 1 king hit, 1 each.

If it ever happened the publicity/media stunt would be Southby greeting him with a handshake at the front door of PP..........

Another behind the scenes positive move by MLG to keep improving the club?
