McKay should go when Mick does.

Responsible for contracts and approving recruiting of Thomas, Jones, Tutt & Dick. Has made it harder to get players in because of over paying and giving long contracts to average players.

Appointed during Ratten regime and with no football management background. Has been a disaster and is as much to blame as anyone else.

McKay is on the nose.
But then you need to go to football director gleeson and the board
About time there was some shared responsibility and accountability.
The president steps away from that.
How convenient!

"Macca" has been involved with the club over some dubious re-signings and decisions and his performances and role needs reviewing into the board's football director (how long has Bear been there now?).

Had a comment today that he has closely aligned himself with Mick over the past 2-3 years so may be gone as well. Hope so.

Clarkson declared it is essential that clubs in a rebuild have all key officials on the same page, as occurred at Hawthorn when he took over at the end of 2004.

"What has to remain steadfast right through it all is the communications, understanding and support between the president, the CEO and the senior coach in particular, plus other key stakeholders in the game like your recruiting manager and the captain of your club and your general manager of football operations. There's about five or six key people in your program that need to be really, really tightly bound in the direction and vision that your club has got.

We need a full review and it is almost at the point were the AFL has to come in and get us back on track

A proper independent review of the club would address these concerns.

True but I really believe we need a strong Head of Football as a starting point. McKay is average at best.

Carlton’s new coach will report to head of football Andrew McKay, whose position has been strengthened in recent months.

He has conducted a review of the club’s lines of reporting in the past 12 months and is a key member of Carlton’s rebuild.

Carlton assistant Dean Laidley also has a strong future at the club given he has been a stabilising figure during a turbulent year.

He and Barker have worked well together in recent weeks after Laidley was at one stage a strong chance to win the caretaker role.

Carlton plans to surround its new senior coach with experienced coaches and support staff to ensure it has the best senior coach and coaching tears.

The Blues continue to maintain fitness boss David Buttifant will remain next year despite their interest in Dogs fitness guru Justin Cordy, who left to head up the Suns team.
