Tim Lamb performed fine in that interview. Tough gig given the Trac and Clarry situations but he dealt with things as well as could be expected in the circumstances. and i reckon the Dan Houston situation is as much do with the fact we ended up with pick 5 rather than a later pick. Obviously Tim Lamb can't say that in an interview so he had to try to skirt around the question.

Jay Clark is getting tiresome. He can get in the bin

you'd have liked todays game so. Lots of 3rd and short plays. There was one bone crunching hit on the 1 yard line by the steelers D. Defender took flight and stopped our attacker dead in his tracks and dislodged the ball. Luckily Dak managed to recover the loose ball but that was some hit. That hit almost won the game for the Steelers.

He's a very good QB but the greats are measured by post season success. Obviously hasn't been able to get it done in play-offs but that's as much due to the powder puff cowboys mentality as anything else.

great road win for Dallas defence down to the bare bones but held up really well against an admittedly blunt steelers offence. some costly turnovers in the red zone including one dreadful pick on the 3-yard line but when the chips were down Dak drove the length of the field to take the lead with 20 seconds left. its still a tough road ahead given how decimated our defence is but wins like this can only breed confidence and belief

did he use the correct pronoun (he/him). If not then Pert needs to be burned at the stake

It will definitely suit me. Means I can take the kids to more games

While Clarry was delivering on his $1m contract we were happy to babysit him and put up with his behavioural issues. now that he’s produced a season and a half of injury and underperformance we’ve decided he’s not worth it. why oh why did we give him a monster contract. Massive list mgt fail.

I have no problem with the club trying to offload him. He fell well short of a $1m player last year and he's falling below the standards again re Brownlow night and missed appts. We have stuffed up royalty in 2 areas: The media were always going to get wind of any attempts by the club to make contact with other clubs. I don't think it was possible to keep under wraps. But i don't see how we could have thought another club would be interested or give anything like fair value given his performance last year and known behavioural issues. Once you start making the calls your on the nose for any fallout. Given his problems throughout his career I think it was foreseeable that issues would arise again. Offering this contract looks like very poor list management. This is the big mistake the club have to wear now. Cornes is right. We have handled ourselves badly in all this. I just hope Clarry can return to something like his old self.

Given we down to the bare bones that was an excellent effort from the girls. Great win

Chaplin have been very good again. one of our best players so far this year.

started to wilt in that quarter. the momentum with the giants. hope the girls can hold out for the win

No you won't. You're rusted on same as the rest of us.

Bucs, Ravens, Packers

So the Cats may have Stengle, Bayley Smith and Clarry on their books by close of trade period. They must believe their culture is super strong to keep those 3 in line.

I've never met Clarry but from what i've heard others say he's a good lad. just very immature. I wish him no ill will at all. A good woman could be a stabilising influence but there doesn't appear to be one in his life at the moment unfortunately. Perhaps Geelong is a good destination for him. Get away from the temptations in Melbourne. It might help him to grow up. I'm just sad at these developments

it depends on the extent to which the club wants to move him on and make a fresh start. if we think he's too mcuh of a disruption such that keeping him around is just not worth it then we'll have to take what we can get.

If its true he got blind at the brownlow and has missed medical appointments then hard to criticise the club for saying enough is enough. We're his employer not his family. We can't be spending so much time on one employee. At some point it becomes enabling. Some club will take him on. The cats most likely. but it will be for peanuts i'm afraid. very disappointing all round

It'll be a fun night for all no doubt

Since when have newspapers been publishing open letters from any clubs members? We really are the gift that keeps on giving.

What the actual [censored] If Pert is acting against the wishes of the footy dept then he needs to be marched out the door immediately.

Adam Cooney can get in the bin

did something come out in the review? i missed that.

Pert should have walked already. I hope he doesn't survive much longer. but I can't see how he could be acting without the knowledge of Goody and the FD (i still have faith in the FD, but not the board. and i reckon Brad Green would do the right thing). It would be an inexplicable and illogical solo run if he is. It would be grounds for Brad Green to call security and march Pert out the door for gross misconduct.

If the club decide to retain Clarry and believe he can get back to his best I’ll back the club in. If the club decide its best part ways with Clarry I’ll back the club in.
