Carlton’s wheel of blame reveals decades of failure
Carlton’s ongoing struggles have been laid bare in another viral version of Kane Cornes’ highly popular ‘wheel of blame’ segment.
Channel 7’s AFL expert launched the ‘wheel of blame’ last week to pinpoint Essendon’s woes, and now Cornes has done a deep dive into Carlton’s problems over the years that have led to the Blues’ current predicament.
Speaking on Channel 7’s The Agenda Setters, Cornes has apportioned responsibility across the club’s hierarchy for years of underperformance, and included former presidents Luke Sayers, Mark LoGiudice and John Elliott.
But coach Michael Voss received the lion’s share of the blame at 19 per cent, despite Cornes saying he had been “put in a tough spot”.
Former list managers were also in the gun with club great Stephen Silvagni copping significant criticism for his role during — what Cornes called — “a crucial time” for the club.
Silvagni received 5 per cent of the blame, however, that was considered too light by AFL great Luke Hodge and former Carlton star Dale Thomas.
“A lot of it is around the way that the list has been developed,” Cornes admitted.
Carlton’s current list boss Nick Austin received 7 per cent, with Thomas not happy that Austin had a larger share of blame than Silvagni.
“(Austin) has got the power now,” Cornes said.
Sayers was allocated 9 per cent despite his continued presence in the headlines.
“He’s been a disaster. He’s lucky to only be 9 per cent. If I read about his you-know-what one more time I’m going to lose it,” Cornes said.
The high performance team was also targeted (9 per cent) over the club’s injury concerns (and fade-outs), as was former football boss Brad Lloyd (8 per cent).
Former coaches Brendon Bolton (7 per cent), David Teague (4 per cent) and Mick Malthouse (4 per cent) were also in the gun.
Elliott received 4 per cent for overseeing years of systematic salary cap cheating that put the club in the problem at the start of the 21st century.
Notably absent from the wheel were the players themselves.
“Can you explain to us why don’t you have the players down there?” Hodge asked.
“The players … it speaks for itself,” Cornes replied.
Veteran journalist Caroline Wilson also said former president Ian Collins — who replaced Elliott — should have been included.
“Although I’ve been in enormous admirer of him for years, Ian Collins, who replaced John Elliot … and ran what is now Marvel Stadium (should be there),” Wilson said.
“He moved the bulk of Carlton’s home games away from the MCG to Marvel Stadium. That was a deal that hurt the club again for decades. I think Ian Collins has got off lightly.”
When asked how much percentage should be apportioned to Collins, Wilson suggested “6 per cent”.
