Would be difficult to enforce in circumstances where you’ve given the other party constructive notice of your intention to terminate the agreement, and therefore leave them to not unreasonably seek new employment.



Recent example, Holgate, C.

How do you know its dysfunctional? 2 creditable ITK has also quashed the sentiment of it being dysfunctional

Is this "feel" of the board being dysfunctional based on current win/loss? If so, as I suspect, how would the current board be viewed if we had 2 extra wins and sitting in the 8 right now?

I would ask, do you think the situation we are currently in is the result of a high functioning board?

I think the Pies choose an up and coming assistant like Yze and we go the big name in Clarkson.

OR if the Pies pick Clarkson, then we choose Lyon.

We will get the big name. We can't help ourselves, it's what we do.

Brittain, Ratten, Bolton and Teague vs Parkin, Pagan and Malthouse in the past 30 years. We like to mix it up.

3 of our last 4 coaches were rookies, not big names. It's not really 'waht we do'...

I understand that and was going to add that caveat, but..... even when we went with rookies, there has been a bad smell of Carlton being Carlton in the background.

Two of the three rookies (Ratten, Bolton) were appointed straight after catastrophic failures with big name coaches (Pagan, Mick). I would argue that in these cases, we almost had no choice but to appoint young blood.

We also appointed two coaches (Ratten/Teague) who were the interim coach and were 'Carlton' men, in what were arguably decisions that were the easy way out. Ratten was sacked (with 1.5 years left) at the first sniff of a big name being available. Teague looks likely to go with 1.5 years left, with the spectre of some big names on the horizon.

Bolton was a fresh face and arguably we did our due diligence for once, although I have been told by a few with decent contacts that there was little interest in the Blues by any big names at the time. Mind you, we didn't trust Bolton enough to put him on a regular contract either.

I feel that overall we don't make the right call on who we appoint, rather we knee-jerk to whatever crappy situation we find ourselves in. And once we make a decision, we don't stick that that path, again lurching to the next ill-fated decision. So, while we've had a few rookie coaches recently, our motives/thinking seem to be forever clouded.

I can't say I trust the club to make the right decision.

I’d love to think that Clarko is going to sit down with a vino, Siamese cat on his lap and watch the Carlton game on his 120inch LED TV in his palatial Kew manor and get quietly excited about the proposition of coaching the best spine in the league next year.
