Media Carlton in the Media (articles, podcasts etc) - Part IV

[Styxx]

And when was our last rising star? Seriously tried looking but can't locate our last one? Sometime in 2020?

Thought Ollie got one last year?

Ikon Park being resurfaced...

 

[Arr0w]

So Russell departs, resurfacing the ground and moving on injury prone players?

Timing is very interesting

The article says that the surface was due for replacement after 5 years. Standard scheduling.

It's more than that, timing that is

I thought it was the 2017 off-season it was last done, iirc Doc did his first knee out on the paddock next door during the ground renovation

One player in under 22 in a squad of 40 and we didn’t even draft him. Hmmm

Yes, alarming.

‘I didn’t know what high performance was’: What Judd taught Cripps

A mad Eagles supporter growing up in WA, Patrick Cripps was eager to learn from AFL great Chris Judd when he was drafted to Carlton. But the respect and admiration soon flowed both ways, as the pair told The Age.

Cripps on Judd.

And Judd on Cripps.

Why is it interesting? Do you think they held off on doing these things so Russell could be blamed?

I'm thinking we had enough this year and we are opting to get rid of every possible cause. We should have got rid of a couple of players last year like we see we would do, but this is the Carlton way. Identify a problem, go nuclear in addressing it.

Interesting chat column in the Hun this morning with Glen Manton. Asked about his coaches… Parkin most influential and to quote “don’t waste your ink writing about Pagan and Brittain”

A bit surprising to hear that about Brittain. He was an assistant coach at the club for years and Parkin pretty much handed over the tactical side to his assistant coaches for the 2000 season when we made the PF, so it couldn’t have been that bad. Brittain didn’t go well as the senior coach but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a very good tenure with the club as a coach.

No great surprise about Denis Pagan.

 

[Styxx]

Manton would have only had a year, two at most with Pagan and he brought in Mick Martyn.

Yes, Mick Martyn played for Carlton, wild

Not at all

I'm thinking we had enough this year and we are opting to get rid of every possible cause.

Agreed

We should have got rid of a couple of players last year like we see we would do, but this is the Carlton way. Identify a problem, go nuclear in addressing it.

I believe that the close timing of clearing/changing of the HP department and resurfacing of the ground was strategic, and many of the injury prone will follow suit

These type of holistic approaches are also part placebo, mindset change can be very beneficial

Potentially get TDK and Doch back for the home prelim too.

No way doch gets a run.

Why David King isn't willing to be as critical of Carlton as their season spirals down the drain

“In hindsight when you look back you’ll say, ‘you know what jeez we were banged up’.”

[RedFury]

So the issue is either the High Performance staff, injury-prone players, or Ikon Surface. Which should we get rid of?
