Assume there might be a restructure as well.

Never really understood what Head of Coaching Performance and Innovation was supposed to mean for Aaron Greaves.

Personally don’t know much about him tbh but I sure hope he has amazing success with us.

Great addition

Great reference given by Vossy….and Wrighty pursued him, with Cooky.

Well played.

Now, this is a Foitball Manager. Knows what the job requires.

“It is a really special day for me to join Carlton as I was a diehard Blues fan growing up. I feel that I understand this football club, what it means to its people and how hungry it is to get back to being an industry leader.”

Quite a good first impression!

Great appointment by the club.
Glad it is official now.

Quote:

“From an external perspective, I’ve had a great deal of respect for the potential of this football club, and from the moment Graham came to me and presented his vision, I was all in,” Davies said.

Quote:

“The foundations at this football club are incredibly strong, which was important for me when making the decision to come across.

“It starts with the quality of your leaders, and in my conversations with Graham, Rob Priestley and Michael Voss, who I worked with at Port Adelaide, there is genuine alignment about what is needed to take Carlton forward, which was impressive to see.

Great to see the tide has changed.
We back our coaches, make players accountable and we build on what we have already.

Its only words but that's the deal. You want to be an industry leader. Sustained success comes from that. Rather than we want to win 3 flags in ten years

Comes across as a cool calm collected sort of bloke to me . A bit of Neil Craig about him . Good luck and welcome .

More change at Carlton, with VFL head coach Luke Power quitting the Blues. Power has been at Carlton for the past six years, first as head of development and then as VFL coach. Set to land elsewhere with multiple clubs vying for him in football department roles. @AFLcomau
