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 


Ross Lyon has fallen back in love with the Saints

Ross Lyon has run out of cash

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. 
Still holds some sway down there at The Moorabbin Asylum 

 

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

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
