Edwards = ruckman. Younie wants Jake forward.

Blakey seems bullish about "the fister".

Where is all the hate and vitriol for Carlton making a rushed decision on Teague as their coach? Barrett the little germ was quick to sink the slipper into the NMFC when we chose Shaw. I detest that human

He was also pretty quick to jump on the teague train.

 

[Psicosis]

Some interesting content in there, few things I found interesting:

- Campbell will be at the club next year due to his leadership
- Blakey loves McKay
- Ford & Xerri are close to playing 1s

The most pleasing thing is the language around them coaching for the long term. Embedding the way they want to play next year and beyond into the youngsters. No short cuts. Huge emphasis on education and development. Sounds like Noble is very highly respected.

They just said on AFL Tonight that David Trotter represents Harry McKay which some of you may already know. Being an ex Nth player could this work for or against us if we are making a play for Harry?

 

[Snake_Baker]

I doubt it.

Although the club did post this on the FB page a couple of weeks ago.

The job of the AFL is not to run a fair and equitable competition, it's to make as much money as possible. If they have to turn a blind eye to a few things (with a scapegoat every half decade or so to make it look like they are taking action), then they'll happily do so.

“The AFL is the peak body responsible for managing and administering Australian rules football. Its mission is to actively support all levels of football from juniors to the elite level. Operating as a non-profit organisation, it distributes the great proportion of its operating surplus – after administration and game development costs – to its constituent clubs”

‘Operating as a non-profit...’

In the same way the Catholic Church is non-profit.

For tax purposes only.

So, how the **** do Collingwood afford McKay !?

As someone involved in junior footy, the AFL do sweet FA to assist the junior clubs.

And actively trying to destroy clubs, for example by forced mergers based on expected population growth....

It would be interesting to see what independent admin above the AFL, overseeing all levels looked like. Similar to the FA in the UK.

Adam Goodes rejects AFL hall of Fame honour, Tim Watson comments (news.com.au)

Is there a more stupid person in the media than Tim Watson?

I bet he thinks that Lindsay Thomas should be forgiving to all those people who booed him over the journey.

Or that Eddie Betts ignore the shite he has had to cop too.

Do people remember why he was booed in the first place?

He was an uppity black man that was made Australian of the Year and said some thing that outraged the Murdoch Media.

The excuse became that he was a dirty player who set out to injure people intentionally; but that was just the excuse.

After that it became a free for all for two years before he retired.

You're not the full quid.

Buckley gone

Wow. Ross Lyon licking his chops about now with several vacancies looming.

 

[RobZombie]

Has a twin ever played in the same side as the other in AFL?

Lord twins at Geelong pre-AFL. Wakelins, Scotts. There must be others.

Collingwood caller on sen
Claiming figjam kept Carey goalless 2 or 3 times and Carey claimed figjam was his toughest opponent

Buckley gone

And so it ends.

Now a true sliding doors moment was when he refused to play at North and was determined to go to the Pies.

CYA later no flags FIJAM.

 

[trooroo4life]

Buckley gone

Was inevitable. And even less surprising now that it appears Carlton will be in the market for a new coach too.

I’d imagine Clarko will be at the pies next year.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

This tells me that the pies are going the full rebuild route. New coach, new strategy and new team. Some players will be moved to get picks this and next year

Well they need picks to match diacos anyway.
