I got to see that interview and announcement LIVE.
Shed a tear TBH...
3 new leaders at the helm before my eyes: Sayers, Cook and Voss.
I thought it was a huge improvement on Teague, Liddle and MLG for a start.
Felt like a new beginning. The start of something big.
When Sayers took liberty to let the audience know what happened this morning he mentioned how the same 3 gents were in contact with the players and staff. I suspect it was a zoom call and they were the first to be notified of the Voss appointment. The bit when Sayers said the audience started the chant "Vossy, Vossy, Vossy.." then "Cookie, Cookie, Cookie..." I was deeply moved. Softcock like.
Told me that the players have already got their heads in High Performance mode, and I bet, a sense of belief. Two days before the AFL GRAND FINAL. Talk about timing!
I assume Sayers would have told them, like he did in the live stream that he knew the plan to achieve High Performance culture across the club was going to show a dip on th back of that, hurting good people, and their families, and on long established relationships within the club. He knew he had to get the positions of the most important roles in the club fixed and grow on the back of that.
I can feel the sense of relief from the players, Sayers, us, the fans, and a feel we have come out the other end in a better place than we were not only 3 weeks ago, but also throughout the dreary year.
I don't share that feeling of ambiguity and underwhelmed like some other posters have said. I can't see why I would after that.
This is a great moment we all share here at Talking Carlton. One we will never forget, just like the day Juddy signed. Too easy to be a glass half empty and see dark skies ahead given what we have endured for 20 years. For me, its Finals next year.
Sayers President
Cook CEO
Russell High Performance
Voss Head Coach
The Playing list, I believe in.
New Assistants will be better than before.
Everything in between a better place.
The $50M upgrade.
AFLW season to look forward to.
We are a Destination club...welcome Cerra, welcome Hewett...
Blue Skies
and once again, the biggest story during the AFL Finals series and the week of the GRAND FINAL.....CARLTON!!!!!!
Bring on Premiership #17
