Old players mentoring?

[pansies]

Does anyone know if there is a mentoring system in place for our young players? I ask because today when I was going for lunch I saw Kreuzer walking down the road with Matty Allan. I know there is a Spirit of Carlton group made up of old players but do they help out with teaching the young guys about the game.

I also think that Kreuzer could learn a lot from Allan. At his peak he was a very good tap ruckman and quite mobile too.

Wouldnt surprise me with the way Ratts is, he loves the history of the club and having some of the older guys around would be great for our young list.

Yes, there is an official mentoring program at the club where past players are assigned a young player to let them know what it takes to be an AFL footballer.

It has been in operation since last year I think.

Michael Sexton commented (at the Spirit of Carlton golf day) that one of the past players has a young player who is so sensible and has his life so together the past player is going to use the young player as a mentor!

Would not surprise me if that was our young marc murphy.

Laurie and Karl have started a mentoring scheme for young delinquents out of a sea-freight container in Footscray Road.
