I guess the positive is we don't land another former Collingwood player, and we're having a decent crack at doing things properly...

Blues fail in bid to get recruiting manager Graham Wright

CARLTON appears to have failed in an audacious bid to snare Hawthorn's list manager Graham Wright as the Blues try to revive their on-field fortunes.

AFL.com.au understands a board member was behind the approach to the Hawks' recruiting guru, which was initially made without the knowledge of key officials at the Blues.

...oh, and we have a well-oiled machine at the board table. :lol:

FFS. Whilst I would be happy with Wright to have Board members running around of there own is not good.

A question. Would that be to replace Rodgers or McKay or a new position?

Imagine the reaction had we secured him.

Imagine the stupid amount of money to buy his contract.

imagine if we did it the right way and waited for our new CEO being involved - amateur hour and does our credibility no good in the football community :banghead:

They also could have all been on board and the approach was to sound him out (being contracted & all). Sorry, it was only a rogue board member not the company policy to make approaches to your contracted staff. Sorry, Hawks.

Its embarrassing being a Carlton supporter at the moment.

At the moment?

Was the board member Jeannie Pratt? Did she think she was signing up a new member? She was in charge of membership, wasn't she...

If the headline read that Graham Wright was leaving Hawthorn and going to Richmond; the club would be criticised for not going after the best in the business.
doubt Rogers will be happy though
