Watson might have been a champ if he went elsewhere.
Darling would most likely have been delisted if he came to carlton.
When we people learn that it is not who we pick that is the problem.
It is what we do to them when they arrive. Ronke says hello
These kids nominating for the draft are 60 to 70 kids out of 10's of thousands wanting to play.
We think we need pick 1 but reality is any of these in the draft are in the top 0.5% of all playing.
They are the pick of the crop.
We don't develop them when they come. We have no one to guide them .We provide buģger all protection.
Tell them we are on a journey and just come for the ride and there is a pot of gold at the end of it.
Don't waste your time looking at who we could have picked look at what we have done to this kids when they arrive.

Guys like Charlie Curnow and McKay aren’t all that far behind Darling. Good players are good players. Doesn’t matter who they play for. “Development” is a cliché.

Cripps is already elite. Fisher, whilst small, is on the way there too. Both would be exactly the same at St Kilda or Hawthorn or Sydney.

You blokes love the “development” cliché. It doesn’t take much thought.

They are all guns Verbs that is why we get smacked by 109 points.
Team of stars.

What are you rabbiting on about now? If you drop the clichés you might start to make more sense.

Selection committee Chair and Carlton CEO Steven Trigg says Bolton represents the change needed to lead the build of the football program.

“I’m delighted to welcome Brendon to our club and to our team. It is our vision that Brendon will be a long-term coach of our football club as we build toward sustained success. He will be afforded the time and the resources to take Carlton back to where we all want it to be and we will support him every step of the way.

“What set Brendon apart was far more than just his resume and experience, which is impressive in itself. It was his proven ability to develop and educate that convinced our selection panel that he is the right person for Carlton. He is a proven performer, having come from an elite environment where the ultimate success has been achieved.

“To our interim coach, John Barker, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for what he has achieved since taking on the role. He has restored a competitive spirit to our team and always put the club first in everything he did.

“John has earned nothing but the highest level of respect from everyone at Carlton and the wider football community, showing he has the qualities and the drive to become an AFL senior coach. We will continue to support John however we can with his next steps.”

Brendon Bolton will continue in his role at Hawthorn until a time to be confirmed, while John Barker will remain Carlton’s caretaker coach until the end of the home and away season.
