[Danger in Texas]

Ahh ****, this’ll be hard to turn down

 

[FR0GGY]

What’s happening to cook?

 

[mitchyboy23]

Yeah but is it him doubting that or we thinking that he might be doubting it.

Us thinking he's not yet sold on the idea

 

[ams4crows]

People saying he's signed with GWS other saying he coming to Adelaide and a few more saying he's undecided and renewed offers are still being given to his manager.

I love silly season!

If Oliver goes anywhere we all know it's Geelong, he ain't coming here lads, forget it.

 

[FR0GGY]

Us thinking he's not yet sold on the idea

Thanks

 

[Danger in Texas]

I’d suggest if he hasn’t made up his mind by tonight, he’s gone

 

[Cromulant]

Graham Wright offered a CEO role ??

Yeah you probably don't knock that back

 

[croweater 41]

What’s happening to cook?

Article is in this tweet but to answer your question:

Carlton are keen to run an in-depth process in finding a replacement for Cook, who agreed to stay on as CEO for one more year before stepping down, which means that Wright is not yet guaranteed the position.

 

[Slime Roy]

The "Port Adelaide Way" is basically their version of our "boys club".

It's essentially a slightly nicer fig leaf covering an identical weeping, festering, diseased c*ck.

Jeeebuz!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Sam Edmund in this segment claiming Peatling is out of GWS ....

 

[Slime Roy]

Anyone know who's doing the seating plan for the GWS b&f tonight? Can they get Peatling and Cumming on the same table please.

& a nice bottle of Grange waiting!

 

[Anzacpaul]

Be very funny if it's Neil Craig

It seems we're at polar ends of the spectrum when it comes to our opinions of "very funny".

 

[FR0GGY]

Sam Edmund in this segment claiming Peatling is out of GWS ....

Was that before the 4 year deal from GWS came out?

 

[Slime Roy]

Didnt we hire one after our review in 2019? Whatever happened to that guy?

I think we burned him out playing too many games as a top up in the SANFL,
so he stopped at their culture.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Was that before the 4 year deal from GWS came out?

IF Peatling's mind was made up ....doubt it changes

IMO it's as much about role and opportunities .....hard to see him getting more opportunities at the Bulldogs ....just ask Macrae

 

[latinoheat]

We are interested in Oliver. The doubt is about him committing to leaving Melbourne the city, not the club.

Finally someone with a bit of cred

 

[pjcrows]

I wouldn't trust Sam Edmund with directions let alone trades.

 

[bigman]

Pretty sure Dan Jackson was our runner last year as well, can't say I took much notice this season.

correct

 

[Amacca 23]

Id trust him more than manure

Juuust.....

 

[MRB37]

Why I was hoping we have more than 1 target for that role. Wright is a talented guy and generally we're not a first choice destination for people with options and those options are starting to show up now for him.

At this point it's probably down to how involved he wants to be at a club, but that's a big role to turn down.

FTFY

 

[CrowToon]

It a fair point, but would you back our current environment to deal with it if something does go wrong.

If we can't handle damaged goods we bought knowing they were damaged then what are we even doing existing?

 

[Cromulant]

Based on recent history though, you'd have to admit we havent handled them well.

That’s an easy no, geelong will be a good club for Oliver
