Our coach and his temperament and that of the sour old Carlton coach. Tell me, who would you want to play for? What a sour dinosaur of a coach :roll: Interesting point. Heard Richo interviewed on radio today (3AW I think) and they were asking him about his demeanour in the coaches box. Richo said h...

Actually, I wasn't complaining about the venue - I agree that was our choice, and I definitely wasn't going with the "they're shafting us because we're not a big club" theory as I'm in the P66 camp on this - ie it's just bad luck rather than a conspiracy against poor old us and it tends to...

But I will anyway: Anzac Day: Ess v Coll - both played today so get an equal break before the next game. Freo v North - both played today so get an equal break before the next game. Saints v Bris - we played today, Brisbane played Thursday so get 2 extra days rest/preparation. How does that work?

Talking to a Carlton mate and how frustrated they are; Have sat mediocre side for some years with a list that has more holes than Swiss cheese and are an injury away from imploding. Seriously what is the point of stagnating 5-9 for a number of years and recruiting a Daisy? Anyway, we all know in 3 ...

Hope you're right, but how would we know right now if any of these 3 statements is correct?

Whilst he's obviously politically connected which should be good for us, he has zero experience in some of the key off-field areas we're deficient in - finding and managing sponsors, increasing membership and managing finances. He'll need good people below him to step up in these areas. Dillon is sa...

And the good big man was replaced cheaply with Billy LONGER coming on board with more potential to be A grade than McEvoy. On the other side of the argument after the hawthorn game I could see why we went around Bill Hartung the kid looks all attitude... Well at least you waited till one practice m...

Topped herself? I thought it was just an attempt? Could be. My source was a mate at work who knew Stewie's broader family. Someone better tell her. I think she had issues before the game, some bad issues, but pretty sure she is alive and well. Yes, the word is she had issues and actually left a sui...

If Burke, Thompson and co. are responsible for another eff up then they should go and die. It is probably a really poor way to look at it however that is where I am at personally with the running of the football club. Too many poor decisions made too often by leaders that are apparently meant to ge...

Correct - it was our second most successful period ever, which makes it an even greater indictment on him that the relative success couldn't be converted into significantly increased memberships, sponsorships or dollars. Not saying it's all his fault, but it will be his legacy. As for the earlier c...

I'm actually really pleased Caro has brought this to light. So many of our supporters were blind sheep - as the club likes to portray. But now we have an opportunity to get it right, armed with facts about what HAS been happening. Let's not screw it up. Let's get it right. Tom Harley woud be a good...

Hopefully Gale will let him go and say "You go Uruguay and I'll go mine."

Well regardless of the reasons behind Watson's vs Watters' departures, the parallels continue in a timing sense. Watson 2 years, Watters 2 years. We will now appoint a messiah, sack him after round 15 next year, then be playing in a prelim in 2017.

[Yeah, because they'll all listen to me. Okay, just go with the last bit "now is the time to stick by the club." Is that okay, or is that bad too?[/quote] Thats fine and when I said being told to piss off I didnt mean you but if many feel the same as you it wont help the club. Its 4 hours ...

[True, but to those who don't plan to renew their memberships (which plenty have threatened this afternoon) I say good riddance because they're not true supporters of the club. But you're right, I welcome all supporters who want to buy memberships and then microwave their cards - this is the level o...

We need everyone we can get. Those who microwave their memberships are as good as those who frame them.[/quote] True, but to those who don't plan to renew their memberships (which plenty have threatened this afternoon) I say good riddance because they're not true supporters of the club. But you're r...

... because the coach was sacked, GOOD RIDDANCE. You obviously didn't live through the 80's. We have been very well served for the last 10 years - now is the time to stick by the club. Fail to understand the post. How does it help if you want them to go anyway. If they stick by the club I'm happy f...

Spot on saint-stu Seriously jaxons tell us what it is is. They arent opinions people. Noone is providing opinions that noone likes. This is how it goes 'I am Finey/jaxons<insert name here> I have inside knowledge but I cant tell you what it is I have some knowledge of something I am not willing to ...

Like most here I'm not a club insider, but I know a few who recently were and still have close connections to current senior players and to ex-players who are hearing things from within the club. The consistent message I'm hearing is very negative toward the coach. I would love it if Tony74 is prove...

I would never put someone down for not knowing what a word meant and I'm far from perfect but come on, the guy is supposed to be a'''journalist" for god sake..he could have at least looked it up first... Goes to show if he can't even be bothered looking this up to save himself, these guys are ...

How did Choco get on with Pelchen in their Port days? Does anyone know? This could be a factor.

Bring back GT.

Yes well he didn't mention that at his first news conference. However I do remember about halfway through last season him talkign about our lopsided list, our poor drafting from 2008-2010 and how some (he actually mentioned Michington I think) was 24 months off. I took from that he knew exactly wher...

Some comments from a person who was very highly placed at the club until recently but is no longer there, but still has involvement with many of the players: - playing group is very unhappy with Scott. Main gripe is that he has multiple game-plans, and tries to switch between them too often within a...
