Carlton don’t seem to know what they want

They want Clarko, half the board want Lyon but now they are stuck with Scott hahaha

 

[Godzke]

wouldn't be worried Carlton said that want someone with past afl experience

I think they said that before the "process"

Someone with better photoshop skills than me should do a "they know our coaching process is coming"

 

[Old Campaigner]

The Age is reporting Gia is interviewing with the Bloos shortly.

 

[The Donners]

The Age is reporting Gia is interviewing with the Bloos shortly.

It’s a race for the poisoned chalice.

 

[11kgm]

It's interesting that Ross also linked back to the club because Cain didn't like him and the aim is to get Cook and Ross

 

[eth-dog]

I'd still be expecting that Voss gets it.

 

[TheGrizz]

Considering they have said publically they want an experienced coach and aim to make finals, i dont imagine Gia would fit that bill.
Voss, Dom Pyke or Brad Scott would all seem to fit that bill more accurately.

That being said consistency and accuracy wouldnt be two words I associate with Carlton's messaging the past 12 months.

Don pyke doesn’t want to coach and brad Scott has the afl ops job wrapped up. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Adam Kingsley get it or Chris Scott getting head hunted.

Kingsley would be a sound appointment.
He and Burns have been overlooked a few times, but seem to be the two (along with Voss) most ready to take up a senior gig.

Chris Scott was linked with a 2 year extension according to the fatter of the 2 Tom's i always get my Brownes and the other one confused

 

[andleanback]

I’m worried we are going to lose gia

 

[Old Campaigner]

Same. I hope we give him a really bad reference. Tell Carlton he's got an unshakable addiction to shitting in the tearoom microwave or something.

 

[11kgm]

loosing Gia would mean a complete reset in forward and back coaches

Wonder who is highly rated we can poach

 

[Ati Tude]

loosing Gia would mean a complete reset in forward and back coaches

Wonder who is highly rated we can poach

Do we need learnings?

Scarlett/ enright apparently leaving geelong.

 

[11kgm]

Scarlett/ enright apparently leaving geelong.

would take Scarlett didn't he find Stewart?

 

[andleanback]

would take Scarlett didn't he find Stewart?

Yeah at south barwon.

Thieving IP.

 

[Duckworth]

Don't do it Gia, it's social suicide.

 

[11kgm]

Yeah at south barwon.

Would gladly take him and shift Gia forward

 

[Ati Tude]

I’m worried we are going to lose gia

Look on the bright side - we could get him back in 2 years...

 

[bomberlegend2007]

Have a feeling Gia is just going through the process to have experience for the next job that comes up. Carlton getting Gia would scream “another rebuild” and they don’t want that.

Pyke gets it for my tip.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

The suggestion is Pyke and a coach-in-waiting together.

 

[Lore]

The suggestion is Pyke and a coach-in-waiting together.

So basically a handover from the beginning? Are they nuts

 

[GUMBLETRON]

It might be Pyke/whoever as Director of Coaching or equivalent. I think it's recognition that if they can't get the experienced senior coach they want, another first-timer will need far more support than Bolton and Teague had.
