Our rebuild compared to Carltons.
« on: May 02, 2019, 02:13:08 PM »
Last weekend was Bolts 77th game in charge of Carlton . Only 21 wins and 56 loses .

Back in 2013 , Dimma also coached his 77th game . We had just beaten Adelaide after beating West Coast in Perth the previous week. After starting 0-10 as the "worst team since Fitzroy " Dimmas record was a respectable 31:2:44 ....have gone on to play 5 of the next 6 finals series ( with no end in sight )

I wonder why we aren't given more credit and mentioned more as a blueprint with discussion to teams facing a rebuild.

Why aren't Blues fans green with envy , crying over our successful rebuild ??

Having said that - 2020 might see a much more competitive Carlton.

Its an extremely good point Mat.

Hell, I even know some allegedly Richmond supporters who don't give the Club or Dimma any credit for our success whatsoever.

Dimma has built a very good coaching record in terms of win loss. He is going to be our longest serving coach ever and he delivered the holy grail after 37 years. One day when he is finished coaching he will take his place as an immortal of our club and rightly so.

Apologies everyone ...Boltons 21 wins also included the 5 wins from 5 games as caretaker coach of Hawthorn.

His actual record at Carlton is 16 wins from 72 games.@ 22.2%

My point still stands.

Since 2013 32 players are gone, read into that what you like but to me it clearly shows we were no where near it in 2013 and very much still building the list.

when did silvagni get to carlton it was only then they decided to bottom out and go the full youth route.

Carlton haven’t rebuilt yet.
End of thread.
