Absolutely bizarre timing...

Absolutely bizarre timing...

Exactly. 3/4 time of the GF would of been better

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Sounds like a coach succession plan with the former coach staying on at the club. They work well from what I can remember.

To be fair they did it pretty well with Roos to Longmire.

 

[Knoxy]

Exactly. 3/4 time of the GF would of been better

How could he resign at the GF when he and the players didn't even bother turning up?

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

In all seriousness though, why wouldn't you pull the pin earlier and let the incoming coach choose his support staff and head to the draft with his own ideas?

Yeah it's not ideal timing. Although it seems like they might have been planning this for a while considering Longmire is staying at the club. Giving the role to Cox who is already there will definitely make the transition smoother.

Maybe they all knew internally, but just announcing it publicly today?

Their season only finished 7 weeks ago. You'd want him to be all in until then. Who knows how it went down - but 7 weeks to decide seems fine to me.

Miserable bastard probably wanted to get paid at Senior Coach rates whilst he was on holidays.

By email from the bar at the Cricketers Arms.

 

[Chunky Steak]

I dunno, this smacks of Cletus living in the trailer with his ex and her new boyfriend.

You just know the cops are gonna get called out at some stage. Someone's gonna have a black eye and a story to tell.

Carlton will be firm downstairs with this announcement. They love sacking coaches to throw money at a saviour coach that’s checked out

This was exactly my first thought. With Wright as the in coming CEO, Vossy would be sweating

Like Graeme Wright?

He certainly would've needed a drink that day.

 

[Eric Shin]

Looking back at the draft, whenever the camera crossed to Sydney’s bunker, it was noticeable how Cox was almost animated and so invested.

I know he's an assistant, but I didn't think he had much of a say in list management. It was almost like he was calling the shots.

Maybe they knew then, or maybe that's how Cox is and I've only just paid attention.

John Longmire will be resigning today.

Good riddance to this loser.

Disappointing news, they might win a flag or at least be competitive in a grand final now.

 

[domus]

I wonder if Cox will be as emotional and feisty when coaching as he was sitting in the box next to Longmire. His fist pumping and purple face were quite irritating-especially in that game against us late last year.

Amazing that our fresh shiny coach is now in the top half of the longest serving list!

Whats more amazing is Carlton haven't sacked a coach for 2 years now

I still recall fondly the talklback calls halfway through 2023.

Wont take much for it to happen again. Voss is a spud

Imagine our club banned all communication with the outside world.
No imagery and no quotes - he’d/they’d be stuffed for ideas.
PS: Fly is also banned from talking to him.
