So a “Board director at Carlton” has shown you a text from Patrick Cripps phone? This text message was from Clayton Oliver, saying he wanted to go to the Blues and play with Cripps?

You get a screen shot of it per chance? 

BS

They'd probably think a dentist is a panelbeater.

The dental work required by that lot would need a panel beater Trigon!

Why do clubs release merchandise for the next season before the trade period?

Mind boggling.

$300k per year for 5 years.

Paying 1.5mil to have a player NOT play for you.

Incredible.

I doubt the $300k is for 5 years. Would suggest it is only for the remaining term of his  contract with Collingwood not the new Doggies deal. So probably more like 300-600k over 1 - 2 years.

He has 5 years remaining on his Collingwood contract.

Because the marketing department don't talk to the football department.

We solved a similar calendar problem by eliminating them altogether.

Board director at Carlton. Text message sent from Oliver to Cripps

Did you see the text message?

Who uses calendars these days anyways. Time for marketing depts to come up with some new stuff.

No, and I don't have proof. All I have is the word of a very respectable person at Carlton.

Obviously, it is all just hearsay but I guess we will see what eventuates next year with Oliver's contract negotiation.

An extra payment from the Filth ... amid the muck and mire. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of social misfits.

As a coach, I highly rate Buckley. His teams have often played good footy.

As a people-person or people-manager, I can't actually remember anyone as bad as him unless you mention Mark Neeld or Scott Watters. He is woeful. He has to stop thinking of them as footballer entities, and interact with them as people. Add in a CEO who appears has risen to the level of his incompetence, and the Pies are in serious trouble as a club. 

Can't wait to hear Eddie's spin in this - could be the best comedy act of 2021.

One thing they all have in common? All assistant coaches to Mick Malthouse. I keep wondering (to be truthful, I believe, although without hard evidence) that Mick Malthouse isn't best known for being a "people-person" either.

Of the four, though, I've always thought Buckley shows more empathy than the other three.

Interesting...

I think outside of football Buckley probably has more empathy.

...but inside the buble of the football club Malthouse has him well covered. He's very highly regarded by his players at WC and C/Wood. Winning premierships doesn't hurt but he was able to get the best out of players Buckley in his wisdom decided to move on.

Malthouse comes across as an arrogant a... hole but I think he knows how to work with different player personalities and get the best from them. It appears, and the record seems to show, that Buckley can't.

All this anger will either be forgotten by round 3 or intensified, depending on the 1 true factor in sport the win loss record.

Malthouse appeared to alienate a lot of players who left rather than stayed to play under him. Whether it was their choice to leave or whether Malthouse pushed them out, I have no idea. But I agree, once he had the players he wanted and who wanted to be there with him, he got the best from them.

There’s rumours and there’s rumours. When you hear one and you laugh, then it’s a rumour and probably best not to post it on here as gospel. That being said, I heard Cripps flew home from the States just to show the board member the text message.

Suppose they can say they’re still paying Trelor?
