Clarry... Mate. It's time to stop talking to the media.

Do not want whatever Bomber has to offer in the background lol.

Bartel said he hadn't been approached by the club on his podcast with Mcguire but that he'd be interested in a role like it.

Occam's Razor for mine is that we lost Jackson and wanted to recreate that dynamic and Grundy was available at a discount so we went for it. Probably realised during pre-season the same dynamic wouldn't work, which is why when we were asked about what our plans were we kind of handwaved it and just said "we had ideas". Those ideas formulated as the two sharing the ruck duties between 50/50 and 60/40 and the other never really getting into the game when the other was being the main man. We were trying to win a flag so we abandoned the experiment mid-season and did a hail mary of trying to turn Grundy into a forward.

Read like the entire article was a regurgitation of a report written by some group of supporters intent on destabalising the club, with an added level of spite from the author to go with it.

It's pretty concerning that we felt we needed to pay extra to get guys to stay at the club where usually it's the other way around.

We've made Casey an unstoppable force.

Gawn is the same bloke who told Goodwin to leave Jackson on the ground when the GF was in the balance. The notion that he wouldn't make a sacrifice for the team is ludicrous imo.

What is this actually based on. Never seen anything like this reported. You'd think with as many leaks we've had over the years this would have made the news.

We're never going to have a key forward again lol

This draft is [censored] and compromised. Lindsay would have been a top 5 pick this year. Langford would be the number 1 pick. The Carlton pick will get pushed back to outside the top 10. Even if we offer that and another first rounder that's still less than what Freo paid us for him and he was out of contract and his form is better now than it was then.

Curious about this line.

I don't think it's that deep. Caro has sources throughout the industry. She will generally takes the side of those who give her info. She's hardly going to throw them under the bus. Think she's been pretty soft on the AFL wrt the major issues over the years.

Genuinely baffling choice as host.

She's always had these weird campaigns moreso than any other media personality I've seen. North fans will tell you about her push to relocate them before the Gold Coast came in. Generally her agendas fall in line with what the AFL want which tells you a bit about where her bread is buttered.

This seems like an easy loophole to exploit haha.

The only thing for me is the role sounds near identical to a footy boss in its scope from what little we've heard. Not sure exactly what that means whether some responsibilities of the footy boss are been delegated to this role or something? Bartel seems like a good type to have within the club though.

It's rarely this blatant.

Reckon Tassie needs someone who can be both a coach and a promoter like Sheedy used to be. Actually think Hinkley is the sort of person who could do that if he's allowed to be himself.

She already shown her hand. Wrote a whole article urging him not to join us. Personally think it's unbecoming of a journalist to try and confect an outcome the way she is.

You're talking about an 8 month age difference really. It's not much.

Thought his argument was a bit messy. He said in a sense the Tassie job would be easier because the players would all be self-driven professionals. Not sure how he knows that or what he's basing that on. They will mostly be 18 year olds who will need a lot of guidance.

Mitch Cleary just said we're keen on Bartel.

She's talking about herself.
