I should also say he said the young boy Brown, is a ripper to train and will do whatever it takes!!

The concern recently from an assistant coach is whether Jefferson has that fierce competitive desire, and will do whatever it takes to be successful. He also shares the same concerns regarding Verrall & Adams. He said that Kenterfield has that quality in spades and if he doesn’t succeed, it won’t be for lack of fierce effort.

I can tell you, that very question of, “why do the players love Goody so much” is definitely included in the review.

I can see how people could interpret the content of his speech in a few different ways, and tbh, the content was the least of my concerns. If ever there was a time to not have a number of crownies before making the most important speech in his time at the Club, it was then. Might seem old fashioned, but I also believe it was the time to shave, to not go with the trendy 3 day growth. I’d be rather confident that Sam Mitchell, McRae & Fagan won’t be slurring their words during their speeches. Was the absolute occasion where he had to take the totally conservative & professional leader type approach, and unfortunately he didn’t.

No, not at all. The bargaining powers have changed significantly, and a month ago, Claz didn’t want to leave.

Hi Daz & Brendan. I can’t say too much except that right now, I think a deal gets done. When I announced this a month ago, I didn’t think it was possible because I couldn’t see Dees getting fair value from Cats. They’ll certainly have their work cut out taking on Bailey, Claz & Stengle. The stories I could tell re Bailey.

Just letting you all know that I was told today that the Caulfield facility will be announced very soon, perhaps over the next couple of days. I was told the MCC is a significant contributor and that the Board considers Pert’s work as exceptional. I wouldn’t post this if it wasn’t from a very credible source, so let’s hope we’re all celebrating soon.

I believe Clayton definitely wants to stay, and I believe he will. It’s just that clubs realise that Dees want to change the way they play, and they’re just probing to see what the situation is with Clayton & CP. Let’s be clear, there’s many, many more discussions had than there are trades done.

Let me say very clearly that the Dees are not shopping Clayton, but they have been asked if 2 first rounders would get it done, and I believe it wasn’t totally shut down / dismissed.

Sam Wicks from Swans to Gold Coast will probably happen.

Guys, I’m hearing that Clayton is not totally off the table. He’s gettable for the right offer.

I’m told the Bailey Smith to Geelong is done and he’s even been told he’ll get Number 2.

My mail is that Houston is off to the Saints. 5/6 years at $850 per year.

I mentioned this person by name and the damage she was doing in a post a few days ago, however, quite appropriately my post was rejected as the moderator stated that they didn’t want anyone named on this site.

Dazz, it was mentioned to him recently that publicly whinging about the direction of the Club, is ruining the direction of the Club. Very difficult at the moment to see the circuit breaker.
