As the club is looking at reviewing operations, what questions would you like the Carlton Board to answer right here right now? Maybe we could get somebody from the club to provide some answers. For example:
Q: Who is responsible for the notion that we trade off our entire forward line setup (in such a short period of time) with no apparent replacements in sight?
We made decisions we believe to be in the best interests of the club going forward, we have a lot of faith in the players we have such as Levi Casboult, Lachie Henderson, we bought in Liam Jones who will be a very good player. We feel we have the makings of a very good forward line for years to come and we will continue to look to make improvements where we can
Q: For the past 10 years, there has been repeated suggestion to reduce numbers at Board level - why hasn't this been acted on?
We have a lot of very good people on the board who put a lot of their own time in to help the club. Sticks recently retired as president and we are constantly looking at the makeup of the board and will make changes when it makes sense for the club
Q: What measures have been put in place to make sure Carlton is across any promising talent in leagues outside the immediate Melbourne area. Are we looking at South Australia and Western Australia effectively?
Like most clubs, we have recruitment people all across the country
Q: When will Carlton get a stand alone reserves team?
This is something we are always looking at but we do have a very good partnership with the Northern Blues which has been mutually beneficial in recent times
Q: Can we get assurances that we review our policy regarding long term contracts that pay overs for players and limit flexibility in later trade periods?
We recently bought SOS in to the club who has an outstanding recent record, you just have to look at how GWS are performing right now. We have the utmost faith in SOS and his work in this area going forward
