  1. The best description I have heard of Kane Cornes and those of his ilk is "flame thrower".

    It's attention-seeking behaviour that's all about the clicks and outrage.

    With that in mind, I don't know why anybody would take these gutter journalists seriously or, indeed, pay them any attention at all.

  2. Compare and contrast Clarry's shabby treatment to that of Geelong's Tanner Bruhn.

    After being listed as missing with a "finger injury" for several weeks, he's now listed simply as "unavailable".

    Why are the media not asking questions about this?

    My favourite Neil Daniher quote "who's this Theo X person that's parked in my carpark"

    That was Neil Balme wasn't it?

    edit: A quick search turned up this snippet. Blame the author for misspelling Schwarz's name!

    But  the  best  story  involved  Balme’s  time  coaching  Melbourne.  It  was  during  this  time  that  David  Schwartz  exploded  onto  the  scene.  He  went  through  a  purple  patch  where  he  was  tearing  games  apart  single  handedly  and  due  to  his  size  and  strength  got  the  nickname  “The  Ox”.  As  David  Neitz  relayed  “Schwarter  got  a  bit  ahead  of  himself”  when  he  went  out  and  purchased  a  Saab  convertible  sports  car  and  attached  the  number  plate  “THE  OX”  to  his  beloved  machine.  One  Sunday  morning  training  session,  after  a  tough  Melbourne  loss,  Balmey  arrived  ill  of  temper  and  lacking  sleep  only  to  see  the  Saab  with  “THE  OX”  number  plates  parked  in  his  spot.  Balmey  decided  it  was  time  to  deflate  Schwartz’s  ego  a  bit,  so  he  stormed  into  the  changing  rooms  and  bellowed  at  the  top  of  his  voice,

    “Who  the  fu!*  is  THEO-X”

    Ugh I hate Kane Cornes so much.

    If I may offer some helpful advice, I have a method of dealing with Kane Cornes.

    The secret is to never read, watch or listen to anything he has to say.

    At last a club calls out Cornes for his attack on players.

    Cornes would be loving all this as it gives him what he craves the most and that is attention.

    "Miles away"? Caulfield Racecourse is right next to a train station with the unsurprising name of Caulfield Station.

    I think Rab was referring to Hawthorn's Dingley base.

  7. I thought the floodgates were about to burst open, but credit to the boys for fighting back and squaring the quarter.

    Jack Henry out of the game with a hammy. He was causing us some problems early doors.

  8. In other Carlton news, the AFL has announced that they will be granted an additional mid-season pick if they lose next week.

    The Blues are said to be choosing between the two younger twin brothers of Nathan Fyfe so expect to hear a lot of talk about Owen Fyfe and Norton Fyfe.
