i've been looking for the last 1/2 hour. it was a facebook post from a carlton page that appeared on my wall. the guy referenced an interview with wright, back at collingwood talking about the mcrae appointment.

it said voss applied and was told he wouldn't receive an interview as the short list was already done. the shortlist was mcrae and another who i forget.

wright's first choice was sam mitchell, but he couldn't offer mitchell the job before hawks did, and the hawks had to shunt clarkson to make that happen bcos they knew the pies were circling.

it was a proper longform journalist article, which is why i remember it. you don't get to read much longform anymore. was like a 20 min read.

i remember doing a google check a couple months ago about wright. there's all kinds of random articles out there about him, and a few referenced that he didn't even consider voss as a coach bcos he didn't rate him.

No doubt we will ruin his impressive resume as well.

Let me know if you do find it, I'll be interested in reading it.
I know he wanted Mitchell but couldn't get him, but I have never heard or can find any reference/article that he was not into Voss or didn't rate him etc....

good article... one of the ones i read too.


i need to find this facebook one. it just popped up on my wall. i'm not a member of any cfc facebook groups. it's maddening listening to the masses say things like keep [insert player] at all costs.

it's about the club and winning, not any individual. anyway, i digress

The beauty about Wright and all the media Hype is that he brings recent proven success.
TDK would be weighing up his chance for a Premiership vs $$$ and other players that want to move back to Melbourne could see us a potential to get one also.
I like the part in the link from Surrey about him being a proven top notch recruiter, that brings hope to fix our depth issues.

That's the ticket for me too.

Recruitment has been the area of failure for Carlton since the 2016 Draft, and all the drafts since 2004.

If Wright can find a few gems for 3rd & 4th Round pick or a DFA or two, that will go a long way to improving our depth with hopefully better skilled and quicker players that we have.

Displace our bottom 6 players with better ones, and add a few for depth in the VFL, and I will be stoked.

TDK can walk. No ruckman is work $1M, unless his name is Gawn.

Wright needs to make the footy department accountable too.

I just can't believe that they are all of them doing a top notch, league-best job. We must be able to make improvements somewhere.

The assistant coaches are always the ones who get spoken about, but surely the head of footy and recruitment / list management team need some scrutiny.

Too many ovalteenies and high fives

yeah that whole draft footage was a bit cringe huh

Email from the president to members

I’m writing to share an important update regarding the final stages of the CEO transition at the Carlton Football Club.

The Club has been finalising the remaining stages of this transition and can confirm that Graham Wright will officially assume the role of Chief Executive Officer on 15 August. Current CEO Brian Cook will continue to support the Club in an advisory capacity until mid-October, ensuring a smooth and considered handover.

Job 1: give Lloyd a chance to state his case, then, respectfully, sakc him.

Job 2: get an appropriate expert to help grill and assess the performance of everyone on the recruitment and list management team. Figure out who should be kept on, then work behind the scenes to secure upgrades to replace all those who aren't up to scratch.

Job 3: agree with leadership team & board and get buyin for an agreed impartial approach to reviewing the coaching staff

Job 4: list review

Only bloke I would trust to do a review is Jason Dunstall .

Would love it if we could change his mind next time around.

We'd try to get Jason Dunstall and end up with the other guys on the Bounce

"What is the world's most redundant headgear?"

braithy ainty going to find it. The highlighted bit gives me a clue. Any crap journalist who wants to write a lengthy article on Carlton is going to attract eyes and clicks. How many times over the years have we read rubbish in the media, only to tell each other, we seem to know more than they do. That's because they skim read footy forums to find dirt and unhappy supporters to support their case.


Voss was too late to apply to be considered for a short list because he was unavailable and midfield coach of Port when they were playing Finals. Pretty logical reason, and commonly know.

I knew there wouldn't be any media report of the sort braithy thought was worthy of his trust.
