unfortunately we won't know that answer
Ok I might have got Pitto wrong as I wasn't sure if it was SOS or Austin given he started in 2020 (traded in 2019). Even so, its 32 players on the current list brought in by Austin and 9 (IMO) are a fail.
Both Lloyd and Austinare from Liddle era.
Multiple reviews under Sayers and Cook, absolved them.
Cook was the last messiah who would fix it all. I have little confidence the new messiah is any different...
Until we see demonstrable meaningful action, I am not convinced.
Remember Wright is also a training wheels CEO!

As an ex list manager, I look forward to him having an impact on our ability to find quality small/ medium forwards. Something we have to go back to Shane O'Sullivan and Wayne Hughes to find any success.
Massive job for Wright. We are still living off the past
Our last 30 years has been a disaster and as bad as anyone. We are no better than an Essendon or a St Kilda
Off field things are good financially now but on field (our core business) we are a club devoid of real standards and a clear direction in our football department. This isn’t one issue.
My fear is this runs much much deeper.

From an afar, things haven’t looked rosier at the club.
We haven’t lost any wanted players (yet - and you believe TDK is as good as done).
Contracts are being re-signed
Players seem to enjoy being at Carlton and have a bond together.
Families are welcome with all the kids now / crèche
Players want to come to Carlton
The past is reunited with the club
Stability off-field until the Sayers leak (which shouldn’t really affect the team other than some personal connections that Luke would have forged).
Maybe everyone is too comfortable and they need to realise that the core function is to win football games. Players need some mongrel installed vs too much pampering.
Wright has plenty of work to do, these are my thoughts, some emulating from discussions with people on the inside, some from what I see
- Voss, adequate setting up for a game, but lacks tactical nous in-game. You don't need the best gameplan, but you do need total buy in to achieve consistent strong output. He and the leaders need to bridge that connection with the rest of the playing group
- Austin, in general, way too conservative with addressing our needs. After 5 years, we still have a one paced midfield and forwards. Too many players that won't push back against opposition aggression. Still no consistent, ready to go KPD to partner Weitering
- HP, too early to assess, but disappointing that we have started the season with more injuries compared to the same time last year, even with moving on 4 injury prone players
- Players, far too often putting up conditional performances, the lack of intent as a collective is glaring, so too the selfishness of looking for glory moments rather than using a better option. Some also stating that " this group is soft"
He's going to have to fix recruiting and coaching.
Both areas are weak.
Recruiting showing they have NFI how to identify forward talent.
I'm sick of going on and on about the coach but his team selection and tactical nouse have been ratshit from day dot.
We are in a rock and a hard place. No one would want to work here that can get a job at better clubs because of our reputation. Our reputation is that we sack a lot of people and offer no job security. We make have to move a lot of people on. Stuck in a bad cycle.

He’ll fix it
We played in a preliminary 2 seasons ago, he must have some idea about tactics and team selection. Perhaps the issue is that may have been as good as it gets for this group (largely assembled by Austin).
Any evidence to support this statement?
fix what
I have trouble assessing recruiting. It’s a tough gig dependent on so many things especially development and coaching
How many players have left clubs and got better?
I can’t believe our list is that bad and it’s certainly not as bad as the performances we are producing. This was the same list (and maybe better) that got us to preliminary final less than 2 seasons ago
How many have got better, or even got back on another list after being delisted?

I just back him in, he’s a successful high achieving person. The evidence is his success at other clubs. Don’t have anything else to say I’m just backing him in to fix whatever the core issues with the club are
From every club?? Heaps. That’s why I have trouble assessing recruiting. Too many variables
How many players that we released, trade or otherwise have gotten better?
I can only think of 2E in the last 10 years
I wasn’t talking about us. Maybe read first instead of looking just to criticise
Because it wasn’t my point. Nice try
It was part of your point when discussing our list
Perhaps it highlights how average our recruiting has been
Matt Kennedy
Yeah, and most thought that was a move
What year did Sam Jacob’s go to the Crows ??
