Hope rumours are untrue but if G. Barlett cant be a part of our "team" then rack off rufus! Not interested in your unsettling undertones.

Sorry, DC, but I need to correct your spelling. It's "fulminator" - with an "o", not an "e".

Slander?

So did I.

You can't let an accusation like that go - this isn't The Anonymous Internet. The servers are rented by people, the website published by people, it is people that are affected, and if they are affected by what is said on here then I am sure they will be forced to close it down, at which point we are all affected.

[Longsufferingnomore 1,631]

Yankee Bartlett heads for the door before PJ. I'm sure PJ is difficult and autocratic - I'm sure he doesn't refer to the President or Board for decision making - but who cares - he's landed Roos & Goodwin, major sponsors, AFL special funding and turned a profit this year - best CEO I think we've ever had - and he doesn't spin or sugarcoat anything.

If Bartlett stuffs this up members should call for his head.

He is neither.

[T&W 38]

He is neither.

Longsuffering you know as well as I do its the blind leading the blind around here.

Alright, but censor the incident, and the rest of the post should have been ok, no?

And fairly pertinent I'd say.

The bloke's decision-making these days is sub-standard.

[Bobby McKenzie 2,385]

Seriously we are high if we don't stick with Jackson. He has been the single greatest thing to happen to this club since 1964.

I would be totally shocked and disappointed if we went down the instability route for no reason.

It would be complete stupidity to throw out Jackson who has done a big job in a small amount of time to bring the MFC back to life. Let's hope it won't ever happen.

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

i personally think Peter Jackson is the best CEO in the game, if not very close and we'd be seriously struggling to find someone so much better that it's worth throwing a person and asset of that calibre under the bus.

Page 79 bottom right corner. headline is " Too many Cooks spoil the broth."

Crap headline. That would only be the case if young Lucas was still running around in the reserve's reserves.

It came across very agenda-driven. As if you were dead opposed to Cook ever working here and were even willing to throw in unsubstantiated material to help said cause.

"Even though this guy built a club bereft of premierships for over 40 years into a side who won 3 premierships, let's totally ignore that and harness all our negative attention into what he did for the rest of his time at the club (along with this probably made-up rumour)".

If you seriously dislike like him and don't want him working here, fair enough. But to advocate he's incapable of the job in question? That's certainly incorrect and not right at all.

If I could make it work I'd hope we could have both Cook & Jackson in seperate roles at the club... who's better ???? but Cookie has plenty of points on his scoresheet.

...and I do like the way the cats play the game this century..

'Machsy' has good contacts at Geelong, I wouldn't write off what he says so quickly. His info in the past has been very reliable.

I also understand why parts of the post were probably a bit too hot to leave up.

I didn't.

I basically said that at his current capacity, he's still good, but his lofty reputation isn't warranted.

Not now at least.

I'm an advocate of not making rash decisions based on reputations forged long ago, ignoring more recent events.

The cats have issues and he has been asleep at the wheel in recent seasons, undoing some of his good work.

They've managed to hide it somewhat, but the Cats aren't traveling that great and haven't capitalised on their recent onfield successes.

[Machsy 2,858]

In case it's not clear, my only agenda is doing what's best for the club, and based on some of the things I know, I doubt bringing in Cook would be that.

I would say he needs a fresh start to revitalise him.

He's been at that club since the late 1990's so he's probably over the role.
