Let's not imagine that any Carlton player looking for a job at a club is fabualous and should automatically be appointed by the Blues. Sheldon has never been a footy manager and he might be great or he might not. It seems everytime any carlton name comes up we are utterly negligent if we haven't signed them up first. Let's try for the best, if that's bomba, then we've missed out, but i'm not convinced he is the best footy mngr going round.
Yep and with that type of logic we will stay at the bottom. We need the best available and if they happen to be Carlton then take 'em. Sheldon has more than the runs on the board for this type of role and I would love it if he was senior coach. There would be no matey matey shit becuase he was gone prior to the success that Sticks and Co experienced.
People here harp on about how our board lacks balls and imagination etc etc etc etc etc.
Sheldon is one of the most sucessfull coaches ever at St Blunda outside of Jeans yet senior players didnt like him because its was his way and they had to work to hard. The board at the time got rid of him to satisfy those players knowing they were on the cusp of a premership, perhaps? Yes they had a bit of success but not the ultimate and at the end of the day they failed miserably and ended up shit creek again.
Turn the clock forward and their time is running out again if we are to believe that there is a limited window of opportunity. Their board has had enough of a bloke who has had talent to his eyeballs at his disposal yet no real results. Now they turn to a bloke they scorned in the first place, accepting they were wrong(because to re-employ Kenny in any position leaves them with egg on their faces over past judgements) and are feverently hoping to make the most of their opportunities.
Ken Sheldon will do his utmost to ensure Goddard is resigned becuase any less will look bad on his resume and at the end of the day it doesnt matter if he bleeds blue it matters on delivering results to those who support him financially. If anyone here believes different they are a fool.
We need to use everything we have at our disposal to lure players like Goddard. This kid came into his own this year after a number of years not living up to peoples expectations of a number 1 draft pick. We would kill to have him with us make no mistake about that. Get Sticks, Williams, Doull, SOS, Nicholls and even FEV (yes I used to support StKilda but have seen the light) to play on his (and his mums) emotions ( I never said play fair). God if it took it get Doull, Southby, Mckay, Jezza and Co to take mum out to dinner and promise to make her an official Carlton Saint
.
This is the type of shit that our board and management team need to be doing. Gibbs and co are in the bag at the moment we need to concentrate and areas that are beyond our immediate control and dare to be different.
