Statement from the club:

The Club can confirm General Manager of Women’s Football Brett Munro has departed IKON Park.

Following the completion of the independent review conducted into the Blues’ AFLW program, further discussions were had with Munro, where he was informed his contract would not be renewed.

“Brett Munro has shown unquestionable dedication to our AFLW program,” Carlton President Luke Sayers said.

“The time and energy he has invested in not only the team, but our entire club, since first arriving at IKON Park three years ago must be acknowledged. In that time, Brett has led our program through what has been a significant and unprecedented period in the AFLW competition where he has remained committed in growing and navigating the program.

“Throughout his tenure at the Club, Brett has made a significant contribution to the program, which is something we will long remain grateful for.

“These decisions are never easy, however key findings in the review made it apparent that a change was required in relation to the leadership within our AFLW program. We will continue to work through the recommendations provided and further details relating to this process will be communicated in due course.“
