Carlton in the Media (articles, podcasts etc) - Part 3

[Jabba73]

Correct in this case, but the point still stands, not all injuries should be disclosed in minute detail

Correct, hourly updates should be enough

Think your missing the point to some degree personally don't care what a players injury is but if he/she is going to be out of action for a period of time I think the supporters should know the correct timeframe .
Not the stock standard 1-2 or no update on a particular player at all .
Up until a couple of weeks ago I was wondering if Harrison Macreadie was still alive .
The club is very tardy in this area .

It really is a fine line, perhaps a broader timeframe 4-8 weeks, would satisfy most people, but then again if it drifts a bit further, people will still complain

Out of curiosity if an injury was 4 or 8 weeks, what does it really matter? What will supporters gain from either timeframe?

Its called transparency and treating your supporter group with respect .
What does the club get out of not being up front atleast with time frames a player is out .

I remember having to go get the Friday paper to see who’s in or not. Never knew what was happening otherwise. Players were out injured or dropped. No times or anything else. Different world now

Stupidly flicked on AFL 360. Robbo wants the runners back as we need to encourage younger players. Turned it off

Fair point.

Not sure an opponent would try and target Willo's bowel and digestive system though.....

No, not something you'd try in a public space.

As an example, Willo out for 4 or 8 weeks, what now?

Better than 1-2 weeks

Might be code for NFI.

I like Murph too. He's not perfect, but who is? Apart from Patrick Cripps, and possibly Sam Walsh, and Charlie Curnow.

Not that I have ever agreed with Robbo, but, this is a case once again of the AFL going from one extreme to another.

Fair enough, some clubs abused the system, so punish the clubs and put stipulations in place to stop them from abusing the system, don't go and shut runners down to a message after a goal only. The coaches are there to see that patterns and style of play occurring on field which the players cannot always see or notice as they are focusing on the ball and their opponent. It could be a difference of a few goals?

If runners want to occupy space during a kick out, kick the ball directly to them, free kick.

 

[JustaBattler]

I prefer no runners ever - let the players play. let coaches talk to players when they are on the bench if required. Simples.

 

[thylacine60]

yep

If the AFL stick to their guns the club should appoint a specialist bench coach, a skilled communicator who can deliver messages to players and keep them motivated and focused on the task.

Something that will be considered no doubt.
