For the life of me I've NFI why Campbell is on our list. He's older than Max, played 58 games at 4 clubs over 12 seasons, and has zero chance in being part of our next flag. AJ before TC every day.

I guess it's been mentioned, but geez I'd love to see him at the Bluey. I've no doubt Simon would receive a standing ovation.

Spargy pants - papers stamped? MJ get a gig? Come on @WERRIDEE , are you up for the challenge?

Loved the big ties. Loved his post-match banter.

I feel a poll coming on. It's been a while.

@layzie said it's like no other coach sacking. I disagree. As a 13 year old I'd seen us raise the cup in 1964. After 12 rounds in 1965 we were 9-3. We sacked Norm Smith. It took us 57 years to win another flag. Perish the thought we'll have a repeat of 'The curse of Norm Smith'. Having said all that, another flag would never have come with Simon at the helm. Last point, I'll love Simon and my Dees until I die for bringing me such joy that September night.

Understatement of the year.

A shout-out to all the DL'ers with Croatian heritage. I'll be listening in from Prvic Luka (off the coast from Sibenik) 🇭🇷

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but Max chatting with Edie on Insta is priceless.

The problem is that we need a complete clean out of the coaches. The current group have failed at developing our players, save for about three. Sacking Goodwin whilst keeping those under him, will achieve nothing IMO.

He may even have a ghostwriter.

I'm heading to Sibenick next Friday. I may catch you. I've got a distinctive Aussie accent.

I hope he taped the hole up.

As I mentioned in another post, I'm at Pesaro on the Adriatic coast of Italy, and I'll be tuned into the game whilst on my way to Venice. I've got nothing to contribute to this thread . I just wanted to brag 😄🇮🇪

Well, I don't know how many Dees are up the snow but I'm at Pesaro on the east coast of Italy (temp about 35 today) and there's not a Carlton jumper to be seen anywhere. I'm off to Venice today. May see one there. I doubt it

Please pass on my best to David Attenborough.

Ah, the old double negative at work.

I love Milky. Give him another year.

Has plenty of company.

@Ghostwriter can't sleep? 04:30 in Oz by my calculation!

Greetings from sunny Taranto 😎🇮🇪. In the local lingo we're nessuna possibilità. Bloody 07:15 start will interrupt my breakfast, both timewise and digestively (heartburn).

He should be careful. That can result in haemorrhoids!

Re your second paragraph: I reckon the likes of Craig McRae would be shaking his head when watching us train.

Early start here in Reggio Calabria (0520h) so cinque (5) more birra and bed. Shoutout to @samcantstandya

I've mentioned this and nauseum, and I'll say it again. The 'farm thing' is real. I've lived on the Surf Coast for 50 years. I know Danger's family, Cookie et al. The Cats have Nigel Austin (Cotton On) and the Costa group as major sponsors. Both are both Billionaires (capitalized on purpose). The club and players want for nothing. The club is planning to build a $20m 'community facility'. $10m donated by the aforementioned sponsors. The Cats rort the system. Costa fought the Australian mafia and 'won'. He schooled BC. Taking on the AFL is kid's stuff. The AFL is powerless. A joke. No league in the world can control off the book payments If the Cats wanted Clarrie they could get him tomorrow. Same for any player in the league.
