Those who think Wright will save the club are deluded.

There is little evidence to suggest that any high-profile, non-player signing at Carlton in recent decades has been able to single-handedly "save" the club or deliver a transformative turnaround.

Here’s a list of notable non-player signings (coaches, executives, and key staff) at Carlton since 2010:

Chief Executive Officers:

Greg Swann (until 2014)
Steven Trigg (2014–2017)
Cain Liddle (2017–2021)

Graham Wright (appointed Deputy CEO in 2025, set to become CEO)

Senior Coaches:

Brett Ratten (until 2012)
Mick Malthouse (2013–2015)
Brendon Bolton (2016–2019)
David Teague (2019–2021)
Michael Voss (2022–present)

Key Football Department Appointments:

Torin Baker (Academy and Development Coach, 2021–)
Aaron Greaves (Coaching and Performance Manager, 2022–)
Ashley Hansen (Senior Assistant Coach)
Aaron Hamill (Backline Coach)
Tim Clarke (Midfield Coach)

Fitness:

Steven Tiricola – Strength and Conditioning Coach.
Andrew Russell – Head of High Performance (joined from Hawthorn in 2018; highly regarded in the AFL industry).
Luke Power – Development and high-performance roles (also served as VFL coach)

Looking for a savior just doesn't work at Carlton.

I reckon you would do a better job in more areas than you mention.

The club should have invited you on board when they had the chance.

Wow. Great reminder.

Its a shit show.

According to a poster on BF, Wright is pushing for Longmire.

Hey , I wouldn't complain about that . I could think of nothing better than having a grassroots member being on the Board . They need to hear from the common man . The bloke on the street type supporter .

you know a while ago some posters were reflecting how not as many posters post anymore, from then I've tried to make a commitment to posting a bit more, but the above post shows why the trend to less posts probably occurs.

We all know the views and so now because of opportunity we will read them (again) on every thread and probably seventeen hundred times in each thread- after all, misery loves company...the volume negates the desire of others to post... its like being at kinder and the boy in the corner keeps shouting over and over for a new bucket for the sand pit...we know he wants a new bucket and we'd just wish he'd shut up and let the rest of us play while he waits for his new bucket - we know new buckets depend on things like budget and opportunity and so forth...not on a new bucket just magically appearing out of thin air...patience and all that

he kinda folds under gf pressure. pass.

speaking of; they said today inside the industry, he's not ready for the afl grind after the last gf blowout. maybe he never climbs that tree again?

in a day where no one from the mid group played hard, did their role, or went above or beyond. on a day where cripps said he would be levelling up.


did anyone else find it weak as piss voss went after binns in the 3 qtr huddle, while the senior players who were all equally as bad, get away unscathed? how does doc avoid scrutiny from voss?


it'll be a good day when voss is gone from our club.

We have greater issues than Voss as our coach. List management is more of an issue.

For some reason our club cannot find players who

- move the ball quickly,
- can cover the ground
- small forwards that have a strong first point of contact with the ball, kick both feet and have goal sense.

In 2016 Richmond finished 13th with 8 wins ... the rest is history.

If we have some good wins eg against Collingwood and or Brisbane and avoid any more embarrassing losses like the Richmond and Adelaide games he's a reasonable chance to carry on to next year.
He won't get an extension this year regardless.
