But your point is interesting SPF. I agree that the upcoming decisions are crucial, and in fact, I already think we missed the boat with one or two over the last couple of years that could have given us some more draft picks.
Getting a really good trade for Fevola could really set us up. More importantly is the coaching decision, it is absolutely, vitally crucial that we get this right. It is for this reason that I am concerned about the supposed interest in getting Voss without going through an exhaustive interview process with the best candidates. We simplay cannot afford to make the wrong decision, and need to do everything we can to eliminiate risk and get the best person out there.
Yes it's one of those things really that could well be significant moment in our history. Not that I remember it but perhaps a bit like Barrassi coming to Carlton and the effect that actually had on the club ethos long term. Not only did Carlton become more of a force on field but off it as well.
Carlton needs both. The coach can help restore some of the respect on the park but the club needs it's "mojo" back which I'm not sure how we do that. I think it's just a process of really hard work by a dedicated team over the medium term that's going to bring this about and the leadership shown from the top down that spells the end to mediocrity at this club.
I think its that young core coming through from about the Jarrad Waite/Andrew Walker level where we have to make the inroads. Above that they'll be quite possibly few left by the time this club returns to regular winning appearences. For mine this is the leadership group at Carlton, this is where it has to happen. When that group matures, Carlton will start winning again.
