His directorship torpedoed the last two coaches & ended with his removal (like he was there to begin with) and a fairly embarrassing public review.

His captaincy at Carlton left the playing group totally bereft of leadership. His captaincy at WCE ended with half the club on two or more strikes.

Unreal player - maybe the best. Dud leader.

I wouldn’t be rushing out to follow his investment advice.

He’s forgotten more about football than you or I will ever know.

If you want culture within the playing group, he’s the one.

So has Ron Barrassi and Mick Malthouse. They're past it as well.

Richmond moved him on and fell put of the 8. Went to Melbourne and boom premiership contenders.

Not saying its just him, but he has what it takes. Get him to the club, not as senior coach.

Better get Yze and Alan Richardson too then

He was sacked by Richmond at the end of 2016 and then unfortunately we all know what happened
Don’t let me ruin your argument though

yes but eventually they fell out of the 8...maybe staggered? Reeled? Rested?

Correct. But let's not allow the facts to get in the way.

The fact that he was MIA all year, when the club was desperate for a Football Director to help guide the Football Ops group, does that not disappoint you? Successful clubs seem to have a seamless connection between the Board and Senior Football Ops, the fact that he have not had that for several years, is in part due to Chris Judd's failure to roll his sleeves up, and dig in for the short, medium and long haul.

AN HOUR AGO SEPTEMBER 12, 20211 COMMENT

Is the nation’s Treasurer behind a last gasp push to get four-time AFL premiership winning coach Alastair Clarkson to Carlton?

Josh Frydenberg, Carlton’s number one ticket holder, revealed on Sunday he is backing Clarkson coach the Blues next season and beyond. And he admits he’s not alone.

“There’s a few of us who’d like to see former Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson get the guernsey,” Mr Frydenberg told Sky News’ Sharri Markson on Sunday.

“I don’t know if he wants to take it or not but he’s certainly got a wonderful track record in the game,” the Treasurer said.

The number one ticket holder position at Carlton has been a blue-blood prize, with former prime ministers Robert Menzies and Malcolm Fraser previously holding the honour.

Mr Frydenberg was named the club’s joint number one ticket holder at the start of this season, when the Blues and their supporters held high hopes of a finals campaign. But the team finished 13th on the ladder and coach David Teague was sacked at season’s end.

There has since been fevered speculation about who would take over from Teague at the storied AFL team, with other high profile names Ross Lyon and Nathan Buckley ruling themselves out of contention.

Clarkson, who finished up at Hawthorn this year after 17 seasons as the senior coach, also reportedly ruled himself out of contention a fortnight ago. It is understood he was looking to take a year away from the game.

But the rumour mill has bubbled along since that Clarkson may not be completely out of the picture.

Carlton’s high-profile new president, Luke Sayers, the former head of PwC Australia, is known to be extremely keen for Clarkson to take the job, and big money offers are understood to be in the offing.

The Treasurer won’t be able to dip into the nation’s coffers to help seal the deal, for more reasons than one, but he nevertheless remains optimistic about the club’s chances next season.

“Let‘s hope Carlton has a better season next year because we have a good playing list,” Mr Frydenberg said.

“We had a few too many losses this year, (but) like so many Carlton supporters I‘m hopeful for a better 2022.”

...the faceless puppeteers pulling the strings that have never pulled on the Navy Blue guernsey and spilt blood for it nor have they any experience in high performance sporting organisations and yet call all the shots, and they will continue to call the shots with no high performance experience in elite sports if these idiots get a stangle on their already immense power.

Josh Frydenberg played third division football in Denmark but I'm confused.

“Let‘s hope Carlton has a better season next year because we have a good playing list,” Mr Frydenberg said.

How dare he try to say something positive for a media fluff piece.

That's the current angle is it?
Prendergast and some other ex players are the faces of the rival ticket so let's discredit anyone who hasn't "pulled on the navy blue guernsey".
I don't necessarily see it the same way.
I respect the people who give up their time and money to benefit the club. Not all of them will be ideal but the reality is, the club is in a far better position off field than it's been for 20+ years. I value that contribution. Whilst we sit at home on our arses or post shit on the internet, they give up time away from their families and businesses to benefit the club.
We've had plenty of ex-players who have only been there when there's a dollar in it. Prendergast has been a perfect example. So I'm not so star struck for those who "spilt blood".
Especially those only wanting to come in once the hard work has been done.

Firstly, to be fair, Frydenberg has played elite level tennis, albeit not at the very top level.
Secondly, it is pretty cool that this sort of puff piece is getting any attention - it means we have closed up the leaks for the moment and the media is struggling.
Thirdly, I have no leaning towards any Board make up, but am happy to see Sayers making big moves, the most of which have been to the Board itself (when many critics on here expressed skepticism about the review on the grounds that the biggest problems are with the Board which they thought would remain unscathed - yet the biggest cuts have hit the Board itself).
And I have no idea about who makes up this rival ticket, let alone whether they would be any good.

I’m eager to see the next moves, particularly who the next coach will be. But I’m happy that for the moment the leaks appear to have gone quiet.

Yes and no.

But EVERYONE at the board and majority are faceless no bodies need to stand for election at the AGM and not be planted. No problem with approaching a skillset but must be elected to the board.
