News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

Yeah pretty sure Carlton threw him on the scrap heap after having no cash left for him in the cap.

Yep. Supposedly they said they'd have re-signed him if he couldn't be traded but it would've been for peanuts.

What has our key forwards got to do with his output anyway. Midfield would have been a better thing to say.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I don't think it's really ever a good idea for a player to say something like that towards their former club, even as a joke.
Especially after posting something like this.

Let's be honest, if a former player of ours did a similar thing, a lot of us and perhaps his former teammates would be pretty upset about it.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

He's just saying what everybody is thinking.

Having said that, I'd be annoyed if a Darling or a Judd said something like that.

A Brander? I'd laugh.

 

[larrikin]

It was clearly a joke. But anyway.

If the rumours are true and, after a good season, he was told ‘sorry but our list mismanagement means we either have to cut you loose or bring you back on minimum chips’, then he has every reason to be pissed off. The Insta post was just PR management, the video the other day was an off the cuff response. He may regret it but it may just be a better reflection of his true feelings. Or, third option, he’s just having fun and making clear he’s an Eagle now and everyone else is the enemy. Either way, nothing really in it.

It’s quite clearly option 3


That said, Carlton didn’t handle his exit particularly well and given he was effectively pushed out I expect he’ll be pretty motivated to prove they made a mistake.

Trained really well from the day he arrived

Why are there no characters in football these days? Also he should be fired into the sun for daring to make a joke like that.

Or maybe give him a tent at fringe?

Here for the **** Carlton talk because **** Carlton.
