I love Carver. What's he got to do with Brett Ratten Sacked by the Saints? 😁

It was a short story?

    Jontee, I am a very keen Patrick Whiter: please elaborate...

    I am too, but you should take a look at the Patrick White Letters - two volumes. He was a mean, miserable [censored]

    Letters not diaries

    As a sidebar to this fascinating exchange I can offer a slogan I occasionally deploy having been married to an actress/ award winning author  and( obviously) meeting her cohort of friends ...." I am creative so normal standards don't apply to me"

    I believe Patrick White to be the sine qua non validating this observation.

    Allen Jones was a genius coach of young rugby players as well.

    Funny old world really

    Made me chuckle. I'm married to an award-winning author...I've been trying to teach her the basics of being a Housewife since I met her. That was a joke, Joyce...

    Ross Lyon likes to have instant success. Not sure he'll get that quickly with the current saints list.

    I mean last time he coached the saints he had Riewoldt, Hayes, DelSanto,Goddard and Montagna in his team. Not sure many current saints stack up to them.

    Then don't forget he just organised his own exit out of there

    oh well, looks like he'll be the 'aints problem now and not footy classified's problem. a silver lining at least.

    you're quite brilliant, ross

    I love it, it's going to sell a lot of papers. 

    It's really not my concern if it works out or not.

    Ha ha she tried to teach ME house keeping for the duration of the marriage

    By chance she was off to buy property in Bali when Covid hit so we ended up  sharing house again during "stay at home orders".... which was a very long time, but I had  learnt to do my share of house keeping ,while Covid brought our son to stay and he's a chef so...I was the "dishy" as well .

    No joking..(smile)

    All of this has been orchestrated by an ex coach. Has been talking to Lyon for months, from what I understand

    You could be onto something here.  One of his many nicknames is "Santa's Little Helper".

    Wouldn’t suprise me at all. Heard him on the radio last Monday morning.

    Apparently Ernie Merrick, ex Melbourne Victory coach and mentor for Ratten at St K has been scathing about the club.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
