He's getting a brick a year for eating sandwiches and going on Telly.

Why the flower would he want to coach.?

The fire would have to be absolutely burning out of control in his belly to get him out of the Jason Lazy-z-boy.

No real precedent in Carltons history were we saw gradual improvement then a pop in the opposite direction. Only period where it comes close is the late 50s and early 60s if a fractal exists then no matter who is coach we will make 6 GF within a 12 year time frame . Barrassi going to Carlton is not that different to Judd coming to Carlton in terms of time-intervals of improvement in 1964 coming 10th was third last.

Not the worst choice we could have, but geez was he ever on auto-pilot from mid 2009 onwards.

Any coach worth his tactical nous smacked him around a bit. Wonder which player's wife he'd do the dirty on this time?

No way would he leave and even if he did, who says he's any good?
I could have coached that team to success. They would have won without a coach. The strength at Geelong was off the field and outside the MC.
Still is.

Agree with the above.

I think there would be better alternatives out there.
