Wilson has played 4 games. So he's hardly been given a chance. He got 40 possessions in the last game and gave the team constant drive off half back. He needs to be in the seniors. We are screaming out for this type of player.

Florent turns it over 5.7 times a game this season. He averages 21.6 possessions
You want to talk about turnovers being crucial particularly when the majority are in the back half.
Give Wilson a month instead of Florent.
Don’t think the club would do it

Keogh, back to my question, who replaces him next week then or at least next month? Skipworth?

Give the job to Simpson or Boak keep the current assistants in the job
It doesn’t matter who coaches them this year
Could be 90 year old off the streets
That gives Wright time to look at the best bunch of candidates and combinations of assistants


You know GW has already started his search. Last year. No stone uncovered.

Little quiet steps grasshopper.

I think Wilson will come in this week.
No reason why Florent and Wilson can't co exist.
Weitering Dean Haynes.
Newman Cowan.

Of that lot, if you were picking the best players to win, I'd swap Saad for Cowan.

Cerra can tag NWM wherever he goes. Both around 187cm.
Cerra can play middle, back and forward, and keep up with NWM.
Pushes Florent out to a wing or midfield rotation.

I think I would have to think about adopting Tassie if we sign Hinkley

If we continue getting the balance in our game right and our new batch of assistants show overall improvement in game style across the year, I’m not convinced a new coach is the panacea we all think it is if the arrow is pointing upwards. If the players completely throw it in as the year progresses then clearly a different story, I’m just not convinced they will.

I agree JK. If the game plan is adjusting and developing, the players are becoming more cohesive and gelling together better and are in sync with Voss I see no advantage in changing coach.

Now this is solid logic.

I don't rate Chris Scott as a coach, he hasn't done anything revolutionary that I have seen that tells me he is a mastermind.
But what he is, is a solid stable coach.
Geelong has systems and stability coupled with good recruiting and development.
He was lucky he took over a premiership team so he has had an abundance of on-field leadership also.
As a result they are always competitive and they attract the right players to remain competitive.

Carlton on the other hand have been changing coaches like underpants and therefore changing game plans, playing lists, assistant coaches etc etc.
We live in a world of instability and have done so for many years.

I want stability and growth and from what I have seen this year there has been growth of game plan, introduction of better players for that plan and assistant coaches willing to reshape and develop players to adapt to it.
Carroll to the wing has been revolutionary IMO, it is the first time I can say we might have a genuine winger in a long time.
McLovin in the forward line has also been a great move, especially in the absence of Charlie and a FF that can't kick goals.
We just need to keep adding the right players and get ourselves into a position of being competitive week in week out for years to come.
Our on-field leadership needs an injection of premiership players IMO.
Especially in the forward line.
