Coach Carlton Coaching Group 2025

[HarryFlashman]

I think it’s very telling when u look at our results against our traditional rivals & important games.
They seem to get themselves up for the game & have a want & will to beat us.

We just don’t, there’s no want, it’s an incredibly poor mindset & leads to shit results. Everyone there should have a real want & desire to perform & that is part job for the coaching staff as a whole (not saying that exclusively, our leaders and players obviously have an important role in that).

I get that all games are worth 4 points, but ****, the ability to step up and play with real heart has to be there.
When that doesn’t happen, what do u think is likely to happen in finals

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Steve Johnson is the assistant coach we need to be targeting, natural footy smarts and very highly rated at GWS before going to coach his own team at Yarrawonga.

Our forwards need some proper coaching to achieve their potential.

Is the coach/game style empowering them..??

they dont often look like a team of players enjoying their footy...last nights game looked torturous based on players facial expressions and body language

as a part time forwards coach to work with Charlie and Harry?

 

[Accidental genius]

I think one of the main ingredients required in the coaching mix is a lead coach that is welcoming of good ideas and constructive criticism...ideas need to be challenged...we dont need everyone pissing in each others pockets

We can start with lloyd though....get a good head of footy boss to start changing the culture of the place to get new ideas flourishing

 

[mjonc43]

Anyone with tactical.nouse.

We have the team, and talent l, just a very bad game plan.

 

[Big Red is back]

Find it impossible to assess the assistants, do we know if Vossy even listens to them on key matters? I would be surprised if they are all committed to a game style and team construct that 90% of Big Footy knows is flawed.

back to the club.

 

[Stamos]

and their coaches are contracted and staying, so the boost needs to come from within.

Season of failure ends with limp surrender, as pressure mounts for Blues to contend in 2025

Carlton coach Michael Voss was right when he said all the issues that had bedevilled the team in 2024 rose to the surface in a humiliating start to the elimination final when the Lions kicked 60 points before the Blues scored.

[CarmenSandiego]

Why would any desirable assistant want to come and work for us?

The playing group goes through coaches every few years and I can’t imagine Voss would be great to work under.

We’re in a serious bloody pickle.

 

[Revenant1965]

Our current "Coaching Performance Manager" is Aaron Greaves. Genuine question, but is it time for a change here? A.Simpson...? Anyone else...? Or stay with the status quo...?

 

[BluStreak]

Adam Simpson please, pretty please, pretty pretty pretty please.

That’s interesting …to me at least

I didn’t realise there was such a position…

Wonder if that’d be based on the coaches strategies/game plan etc or how effectively the coach manages his assistants and players?

We have more assistant coaches than any of the other teams

11 vs an average of 7.... for questionable results.

What is a Coaching Performance Manager anyhow. Sounds like a waste of soft cap.

Maybe its his job to tell Voss to go hide in the dark corner of the box?!

Maybe they should invest in less coaches but higher quality, good senior experience.

All moot when Aug 1st deadline past. So we got what we got, unless we add a 12th, 13th, 14th and pay soft cap tax

getting a huge wrap from Cripps in his Brownlow speech

 

[jpfalvo]

So, 2 brownlows, finals series player winner, AAs, MVPs. 2 Colemans

Surely we can figure out what to do with them

He’s been a fan of TC from his 1st stint. Obvious results, so must be doing something right..

Russell got a huge wrap from Doc too...

I still think it's time to move on from Tim Clarke... been mid coach since 2015 bar a few years.

Yeah, ask them to take a hair cut with their salary so we can bring in another couple of big fishes...

For PC, not sure if he's improved the other mids as much

Clarke is clearly great for Crippa. Would like a little more confidence in our set ups and connection. We have some great moments, but are inconsistent, and “can be got”. We need more cohesion. How we set up for TDK is going to be fascinating. Gets his own clearances and not yet a great or readable tap ruckman. Seemed like our inside boys were having a couple of bob each way as a group and were particularly vulnerable to mids who camped “under the rucks” too often.

I am more worried about our connection and defensive roles and structures. The other concern is our use of our small forwards and wings, they are too busy giving defensive coverage to our pedestrian and largely forward focussed mids.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Clark gets the best out of Cripps but not from the group as a whole.

I love Cripps and Voss as leaders but they aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed. We should be surrounding them with the smartest coaches and players we can find. Need a healthy balance.
