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.

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.

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.

Can 'perennial underachievers' Fremantle become WA's biggest footy club?
For 38 years the West Coast Eagles have been WA footy's alpha male, but in the midst of their worst ever on-field run, is the balance of power shifting towards their bitter rivals Fremantle?

Talk about getting ahead of themselves. They didn’t even make finals last year and they’re talking dynasties.
Even if the balance of power is shifting (slightly?), and if they reach finals in next successive years - reckon we'll be hot on their trail before too long, on the charts with a bullet, and all will be normal again? But makes for exciting derbies, not blow outs.
Same for WCE of course...

Be interesting to see how freo copes with the expectation given there list profile and the recruitment of Bolton id suggest that one finals win would be the minimum they would be looking for next year results wise

Attendance is a key metric the AFL use to measure the success of a season. Whilst that remains the case, Collingwood will play most of their games at the MCG and avoid trips to locations such as Tasmania, MDMA and the NT.
It also means more marquee games that put attendances over fixture equity because that’s the AFL way

Until the travel of teams from outside Victoria is radically revamped it can never be a true AFL, its still a bloated VFL with all the power/headquarters/decision makers in Melbourne.

Unfortunately but is still a disgrace to be called AFL with the disparity in travel that exists.
