Maybe given Russell has the same title now "Director of High Performance" I believe.
So Tim Clark was our midfield coach and we replace him with a ruck coach?
Then demote Bruce and Barker from senior assistant and head of strategy into midfield and stoppages respectively.
Not sure about that.
Agree a bit underwhelming was expecting more changes, however coaches are well amalgamated now and new rule changes makes Ruck position important, still think midfield coaches could be more inspiring.
Bruce worked as midfield coach at Hawks, before Ratten got in there.
Bruce coached the midfield combo of Mitchell, Lewis, Burgoyne and Hodge when he was in there.
That group won premierships... and we were hoping we would get Mitchell from Perth, where he had a great influence.
Have you considered maybe Mitchell learned some of his craft from Bruce?
Bruce wasn't demoted. Where is all of this coming from?
Got keogh in another thread claiming our list turnover of 42 players isn't a real rebuild, then I read words describing the off field appointments as 'demotions' and 'uninspiring'. I get enough negative crap from the Carlton hating media and everyone who despises our past success. Yes some people still consider our past success as relevant.
Barker has not been demoted to stoppages...he was still doing that last year too.
There's a cap on off field spending and we have appointed brilliantly: Andrew Russell is another great addition (see Shane Crawfords opinion of the appointment.
Carlton off field appointments/team I give an A.
