With all due respect - one's an Admin Assistant - the other was meant to be 2IC of recruiting...


She's not the only one.

The club say for personal reasons……. more about saving dollars. Directive from above to cut costs

I hope this wasn't because Williams 'knew' we had crap drafting tactics and priorities but wasn't in a position to do anything about it, so he left.

It's not a good look considering that our drafting is under the spotlight now more than ever.

"I hope"
"What if"
"I think"
"Maybe"

It doesn't look good, I agree to that, but unless we know the truth and have facts we are only speculating. Certainly need to sort our recruiting out though. Terrible timing.

Could it be an illness, sick family member, depression etc.

If its one of those, people are adding 2 + 2 together and getting 30.

'Personal reasons' could be anything.

I'd advise against speculation out of respect.

Williams caught putting "No more apples in the vending machine please" in the suggestion box?

Could be 'frustrationitis'. Terrible affliction causing untold stress and worry. Can occur when you go from a really well-oiled machine to a Wagon Queen Family Truckster.

I don't know about you guys - but I do not want to go to @#$%&! Walley World.

"The Carlton Football Club has strengthened its recruiting operations with the appointment of Luke Williams as Recruiting Manager.
Williams, the long-serving 2IC to Geelong’s Recruiting and List Manager Stephen Wells, joins Wayne Hughes and the recently-appointed Michael Jordan on a revamped recruiting line-up headed by National Recruiting Manager Shane Rogers.
"I really loved my time with Geelong and will always have fond memories of what we achieved together,” Williams said following his appointment. “However, I am excited that I can now direct my energies towards helping Carlton achieve success by being part of the recruiting team.”
Rogers said that Williams brought with him the knowledge of 14 years’ experience under the much-respected Wells, and added that his appointment “completes the restructure of Carlton’s recruiting team”.
“We are very excited Luke has joined us. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge having worked in this industry for a long time and having been part of a successful environment,” Rogers said.
“One of the club’s goals is to bring good people to the club and Luke certainly fits the bill."
Williams takes up his appointment with Carlton from next Monday."

It's possible, Doc, although in fairness to him I won't speculate. It's disappointing to hear because if there's one area in the club where new ideas and fresh blood is required, it's recruiting. You can only conclude that this further entrenches Hughes which is an ongoing embarrassment to everyone involved in sanctioning a pay check to him from the club. I would describe it as embracing mediocrity but mediocrity as a description of that department is far too kind.


Well said. It defies any logic as to why Hughes is still there.

When does Hughes' contract run out?

The club has posted the history of our drafting on the CFC website.
Makes pretty depressing reading.

Yeah, not exactly the sort of thing we should be crowing about.

Yet the same people who are responsible for a lot of those decisions are still there, Why?
