Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread

[Jatz]

How about 7 -4.

We will soon find out when our contract is renegotiated and I am pretty sure the Club is pushing for more home games at the G.

Happy medium

I have no doubt they are - they should be. I just don't think it's plausible for the AFL to move it to 8-3.

If the AFL continue to schedule us on Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights, why not Etihad?

It's a TV studio with a roof anyway...

Pretty sure Gill said that will change from next year.

Top 4:-
Collingwood - average 47,647
Essendon - average 44,448
Hawthorn - average 41,234
Carlton - average 38,544

Is it just me or are those numbers extremely low? I know crowd numbers were down this year, but I would have at least thought highest averages would be in the 50s

Crowd numbers are down this year.

Most likely has a lot to do with the new ticket pricing structure.

Only thread I could think to put this. My old lady recently wrote a letter to LoGiudice expressing some of her concerns with the football club as of late. Today she received a call from the man himself inviting her to meet with him to discuss her issues further, face to face.

Think it's fantastic that she didn't just receive the stock standard template letter in return and that a man with undoubtedly limited spare time is stopping to take in the thoughts of a supporter of 40-odd years.

In addition, if there's a general consensus of concerns any of you guys currently have and would like brought up at the meeting, I'm happy to pass those on

 

[etsal1]

That is seriously good.

Also in line with the reports there was a get together at the club last week with all departments + some fans + coterie groups + board etc to discuss how to fix this club.

Great to hear! They did something similar for me when I wrote them a letter years ago to express some concerns I was having, but I was too shy/stubborn to take them up on the offer.

That's awesome! Hopefully he takes the concerns on board and does something about them

Hey guys sorry to intrude, theres been some rumours that Ratten is a pretty good chance to take over our coaching job. I don't know too much about him so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me like his strengths and weaknesses as a coach.

Cheers.

Hey guys and girls, how many people in here were surprised there was no interest in Mitch Robinson? I was a bit surprised, I even thought taking a punt on him for WC would have added to depth if nothing else?
Thoughts!

Have a great day.

I find it hard to judge Ratts due to the whole favourite-son thing. However, I feel as though his weaknesses were being too buddy-buddy with some of the players to the point where it effected his decision making (although this might not be an issue at a club where he's not a former champion), and he didn't really seem to have a Plan B.

I'd love to see him get another chance and become a successful senior coach. Working under Clarkson has probably really developed him.

For the list we had at the time he was an excellent coach. We improved significantly to play finals and he was able to gloss over some obvious deficiencies with our structure post Fev. He implemented a fast running game that was a pleasure to watch, but also seemed to tire the players over a year leading to some nasty losses (huge swings). I agree with the comments that time at Hawthorn would have helped him enormously to learn structures and tactics. Seriously see him coming back to coach the Blues in the future, so would be a great get for the Dogs.

 

[Double the Fist]

A little surprised but clubs would know of the issues that surrounded Robinson.
He does have the makings of a good footballer but hasn't always done the right things for himself and his club.

Gee, a new start in a new state away from any previous distractions could do wonders. If he cleans up off feild and matures he'd be good, look forward to seeing what he can do for Brisbane.

Robinson isn't a bad person...............he's just a very naughty boy

Can't wish any of our ex-players bad...........................except Grigg & Waite of course

Pros: Knows how to get a midfield firing.
Cons: Overcompensates for issues from the previous game, instead of planning for the next opponent
