There's no sound more soul destroying than the primal wail of a parent mourning their dead child. And it doesn't matter if they're young parents mourning the loss of a toddler or an elderly couple who've outlived their middle-aged child. The grief is the same. I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

I was lucky enough to speak to Ratten at a sponsors' event before the start of this (2019) season. I asked him given he'd won flags as a player and assistant at Carlton and Hawthorn, what were they doing that we weren't? Why were they so successful and we were the polar opposite. Essentially it said...

Of course they're going to have a crack at him as well. Do people honestly think other clubs are just going to stand aside and let us take King? Jeez that's stupid.

Time for Acres to be moved on. He's had enough time to prove himself. There's only so long you can say "oh but he has potential and keeps showing signs".

Every freakin' year. People get all worked up over the garbage spewed forth in the media. As someone who's worked in the industry for decades, please do not believe anything you read or hear or see in a media outlet until it actually happens. Sports journos are notoriously full of it because they're...

Why the hate on Brown? We're a better team when he's in the side.

Has anyone coached more games than he has without ever winning a flag? Rodney Eade maybe? I have to admit I was a fan when he was in charge but I always said he never allowed us to play to our strengths and he lost me completely the way he left us stranded. May he never cast a shadow over Moorabbin ...

This is why I love Grant Thomas. He’s always stood up for us in a way nobody has before or since. Jeez I wish we could get him back to the place in a major way. I’d love him to be president one day

The umpires are a blight on the game but I don't think they were the reason we lost tonight. I see Richardson mentioned the free kick differential in his press conference. Smacks of desperation on his part.

I'm inclined to agree with the OP. We need to bring things to start doing something about the festering sore instead of letting it get worse.

That weak dog Garry Hocking ran through Robert Harvey at a stoppage, too. Harves was watching the ball as it was was thrown in the air when the weak dog ran across from the other side of the ball up to clean up Banger with the cheapest of shots. (But I missed the game because I was with my then part...

I've almost lost all interest and have hardly been to a game this year. The club still gets the money from my seasons ticket, social club membership, and reserved seat, but I'm sorely tempted to suspend it until changes are made either on or off the field. I'm at the point where I hope we get beaten...

I'd prefer Ratten but Worsfold has to be a better option than Scott.

Excellent. Can that be expedited?

Don't forget King said we wouldn't win a game a few years ago and then got snarly when we gave it to him after getting the four points in round two or three. He also said this time last year Carlton was closer to a flag than Collingwood. One finished last and the other was a whisker away from the pr...

If we want a big fish, save some money on the salary cap and use the funds to lash out and get the best coach.

The current administration lost me once and for all at the decision to extend the coach's contract for as long as they did, when they did. There was no reason for it - seriously, who was trying to headhunt him? - and it really has held us back.

I know Andrew. Agree that he would need a lot of media training before he could be a front man for media. But really the CEO should be that!

We can fix that.

A few things: Does anyone know if any members have cancelled or suspended their membership this season? Not before the season started but as a consequence of our horror run? I couldn't believe how quickly the crowd thinned out tonight and then how quiet it was at times in the final quarter. I said t...

If the dwarf tosser was any good then why hasn't he got another senior gig?

A head or two needs to roll in a pretty serious way. That'll break the circuit and sharpen their focus.

Why does it always end in a thrashing? Simple. They give up. They have no pride or carefactor. There's no other reason to stop trying. They should know as well as anyone the importance of percentage.
