Past Brad Lloyd

[Blue Heart]

Carlton supporter growing up?

And his dad, John played 29 games in the mid 60's.

9-10 hours later thread has burst to 2 pages - not sure people know what to do with this latest news in context with the rest of the train-wreck season

I know I'm looking forward to Lloydy's injury updates

You guys will be interested to know that Brad continues the Hawthorn/Carlton connection.

Bolton.
Barker.
Lloyd.
Tim Clarke.

Also, he's the brother of Matthew and, more importantly, they're both the sons of former Carlton player John Lloyd.

Here's the connection I really want; 4 premierships in 8 years...

It's definitely news. It's...ah... hard to know whether we "have got a good one" or not, though. DO we cheer? Or groan?

Seems a good CV.

Cheering because he is now one of us.










Quietly reserving the right to boo if it doesn’t work out.

 

[Captain Cripps]

First time I can remember cheering, rather than booing, a Lloyd.

Weird

Not for Thy

Good appointment, great credentials. I recall him being strongly in the mix when we were searching for a coach so our interest in him has been held for a while now.

We keep putting good people into roles at the club and it's only a matter of time before we follow up with on field success.

not sure what that is incinerating but prepared to boo you for it............

Whoever is willing to step up will determine that outcome and could spearhead a set of actions that will be the cornerstone of Carlton's next surge.

From the outside looking in, the managerial spots are just about sorted so the onus is on coaches adequate enough to positively develop players and then go bang.

Consistent reinforcements + refined skills will determine such results.

I like the cut of your jib, Redman. Can't believe I'm saying this to a bombers fan, but you can stay here a bit longer.

Overall, our club has been run like shit for 20 years. Too many vested interests, unqualified people and a lack of transparency.

Our recent hires have officially been comprehensive processes, and I think we have hired the right people, not the big names (as we would have done).

We are all praying that this new breed can work together, work hard, for the club's interests and make the right decisions. That's all we can ask. Hopefully the results take care of themselves from there.

Massive appointment for the club. Hope he starts before trade week. Reports regarding Lloyd so far are very positive.

I am assuming that he has bought into rebuild as part of interview process. Important. Needs to stay on message.

Next, if Liddle isn't already doing it, is to sort out medical/fitness area. It need to addressed now if not before. Must be fixed way before pre season starts.

On top of this he needs to support Bolton and the coaches and the List Management team as much as possible.

Since MLG has come in he has brought in Bolts, SOS, Liddle, Lloyd and some others. He's done what he has said he would do and has done it properly. So far I have been very impressed. SOS was right. It's a new club and one heading in the right direction.

Credit where it's due. Go Blues!

 

[ferrisb]

What is the difference between SOS's role and BLloyd's role?

My understanding

SOS: GM List Management & Strategy - In charge of managing the list; recruiters, scouts, contracts, salary cap management, final say on trades etc
Lloyd: Head of Football - Everything that affects on field; coaching, list management (SOS's boss*), medical, player welfare
Liddle: CEO - In charge of everything but mostly off-field; membership, sponsors, marketing, staffing, club facilities, looking like a bald Michael Fassbender etc

[ItsAllAboutMe]

What has he done at Freo to give us any confidence he will be successful at Carlton?? Freo looks just as bag a train wreck as Carlton..

 

[JustaBattler]

So CEO at a football Club means head of marketing/membership/sponsorship
and
Head of Football Operations means bloke who oversees Head of Recruiting/List Management/Coaching/Medical

but the Head of Operations now appointed has no coaching experience and a lot player management and recruiting experience and no Medical management experience...

very fancy MBA from 'Victoria (cough cough) Uni and an Executive MBA from Harvard - which is a pure credentialising inservice course for executives wanting to network and have the name 'Harvard' next to their name going on for 3 months.

which means he can out-jargon the current CEO (maybe)



lemme see now ....Football boss with no experience in 2/3rds of the areas Carlton needs improving on - and plenty of experience in SOS's area....with mixed results according the place he came from...

how exactly does a player manager/list manager become Head of football with no experience in 'football' and no exprience in 'coaching' and no experience in player management ( medical ) ?

Hopefully he can help pull some decent players into Carlton - because quite frankly based on his own experience - he is under qualified for anything else.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Just to be clear this is effectively the same position that Neil Balme is in at Richmond, Graham Wright is in at Hawthorn, Geoff Walsh at Collingwood.

or do I have this wrong.

Wherever you go and hear. Not one has said bad word about Brad in the footy world. That’s why I like the appointment someone thats outside of our club.

 

[Soapy V]

The attitudes and negativity of a lot of people in here are really starting to wear me down. Constant criticising (whinging) sounds like a race to the bottom. Nearly all of it is without basis or any knowledge at all. I really am sick of it.

Actually sounds like some think they are smarter than those is charge.

Support the club, question issues with facts or sound reasoning but FFS give people a chance. No one is perfect but the club has come a long long way in the last 3 years. Some seem to forget we nearly shut not long ago. The culture was awful and the direction non existent.

So much as improved and we have a clear direction. If you don’t like it, join the board and do something or ........ off [emoji35]

I really am sick of your crap.

I'd agree with that positive - refreshing to see new faces entering the Club bringing an experience set from elsewhere is a positive.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Here here...agree wholeheartedly

Not a really good way to encourage different views or even questions or observations on here I would think.

btw - I would wager a good number of posters on here are smarter than the typical AFL Club employee...do you see things differently?

Love your positivity Soap - but positivity in itself isn't the only contribution people can make in participating in forums.

Handy resume:

http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/2018-08-14/lloyd-appointed-head-of-football

I've heard about Brad via reputation, know what everyone else knows about Simon (who has a psychology background), and have connections with some of the extended family.

Matthew is definitely the odd one out on the academic front, but he was very driven to be an elite footballer from an early age.

Not purely about positivity.I get tired of that because it infers I see things in only one way which is BS. It's about common courtesy and looking at it objectively. Different views are fine and encouraged but a lot on here are just whinging and even with ignoring people it's becoming harder and harder to read.

As for "smarter" I should have used experienced or better suited to the role but I'm not that smart and my lack of big words or correct use of the english language gets me caught out on occasions.
