Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

And yet still up on the ASX200 and SP500 over the last six months.

4. Put the players first
Carlton has always puffed its chest out and had a 'play for the jumper' mentality. That old-school approach does not suit the modern workplace that puts player wellbeing high on the agenda. AFL.com.au understands the departure of highly regarded former player and wellbeing manager Lyndall Down had a significant impact on the morale of the players and it is an area that needs strengthening. Bolton appears a relationship builder and he is young enough to relate to many of the players and listen to their concerns. He also knows what good player-driven clubs look like, having been at the Hawks. The Blues are riding tough financial times so every wish of the coach won't be met immediately but he must feel that he is getting all the support he needs to do his job.

First order of business for the new coach...... put pressure on the club management to get the AFL to provide priority draft picks, proper compensation for players they are about to lose etc, and or money to wipe out the debt.....

eg Waite last year - no compensation. Is this just seeing as Waite is now a key plank in the AFL sponsored and funded North Melbourne ?

North is AFL funded to an extra $3 million per year. Carlton should get the equivalent amount per year now.

This "no compensation" (eg Waite) cannot play out again this year if Carlton loses Kreuzer etc. The AFL will need to step in and make some favourable decisions towards Carlton.

Haha, I said the same thing out loud !!

George Town .... sheesh

This is probably the best of the articles out there on Bolton.

Re: him not playing AFL football before - could be taken as a positive if you use Bill Belichick in the NFL as an example.
or could be taken as a negative if you use Wayne Brittain as an example.

He actually reminds me of Wayne Brittain...
Little Brittain!

Anyone know what VFL/AFL team he barracked for growing up??

Asking Goddard about how he felt about Hird now a week has passed... was hilarious. 'Do you miss him, do you really really miss him, because I miss him so so much' Was the vibe.
