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

    $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.

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

    Mind boggling.

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

    We solved a similar calendar problem by eliminating them altogether.

    Did you see the text message?

    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.

    Adam Treloar and Jaidyn Stephenson feature in January and October respectively in the 2021 calendar.

    ...so... Out of the 12 best/most popular players, they trade 2 for peanuts and offer another for trade.
    Suppose they can say they’re still paying Trelor?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
