How to build the machine that is an AFL club

Quote:
If death and taxes are the two inevitabilities of this mortal coil, the two inescapable axioms of modern football following a string of losses are; sack the coach and purge the list. Either the coach doesn’t have a winning game plan, or there’s something wrong with the cattle. It’s only a short step from there to blaming the coach for the list as well.

At least that’s the popular view, if talk-back radio and internet forums are any indication. Patience is certainly not a virtue in modern football. Whereas the fantasies of the football fan are boundless, the realities are more complex. The intense scrutiny which has come about as a result of the 24 hour sports news cycle, has not yet translated into a very sophisticated appreciation of the elements that go into building an ominous football club.

Every fan is aware that on-field results are often determined by 1%ers, so any incremental advantage that can be secured from strengthening the various departments of a club is like gold dust. The more robust each cog is, the stronger the machine.

The building blocks for success are numerous and interconnected, but the first, and most banal factor is a clubs’ finances.

How do you feel Carlton rates in the following areas (as per the article)?

Bottom Line
Recruitment
Fitness and conditioning
Assistant coaches
Finance and marketing staff
Club board
