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

    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)

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

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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
