I'll vote for any candidate who promises to totally ban the use of the word 'culture' in any mfc external communications whatsoever Can add 'learnings' too And bans any comunications with morris or mcclure

Yeah, a round 1 pick for each aa guernsey

i blame jack watts

today we can finally smile again tomorrow the bridges get repaired next week we can get back to sniping again the wheel of life

how spooky is that? you pen your appeal and within an hour your wishes are granted you must be on good terms with that sky fella ... take a bow

well now that carlton and the filth have failed to snare the trade of the century, does that mean the media will now demand the heads of the carlton and filth's ceo and president? they couldn't even drag it to trade week.

now just to be absolutely clear, did he say "the" melbourne club or "a" melbourne club just joshing best news is i've just got back the next 6 weeks of my life that i nearly lost though i'll probably need that to just digest wtf was all that

call me a pedant if you like ... but i'll wait for the mfc to officially announce this

our choice would probably be - get done over and accept an unders deal or - no deal and keep an unhappy probably disruptive camper and have to go through the same process the next year

a big (rich) club in the premiership window certainly would

that would be one for the afl lawyers i'd imagine he could be treated like a retired player returning?

probably, but this would be the worst case for us. we get nothing other than the salary offload could not see it happening

trac will never go to a club he doesn't want to go to he either gets to the club he wants to or he doesn't - a trade has to be mutual or it fails, full stop p.s. he aint going to go to anywhere other than (the city of) melbourne for obvious brand reasons

yeah right just wait till he nominates a certain club of his choice and digs in contract system is broke and it's all on the afl's usual incompetence we are getting done over big time

let's assume this is true what then do you think is the motive of people in the club leaking such info?

in your browser go to settings and turn off javascript for the age site domain. voila paywall disappears

yeah, i knew that, or at least i saw that. it is still just more indirect info look i don't doubt there is probably discussions at some level. there is not necessarily anything sinister with a least listening and exploring. i'm still not convinced on who reached out to who, journos have a way of flipping those conversations

still hearsay (no criticism of chook intended) but let's assume he has talked to freo, he has friends there, they suggest a chat, what's the harm when i worked there were a number of times i had chats with other companies, at their behest, offering me a job. i wasn't looking for another job at the time but a combination of being curious and the fact they were well known to me , i went ahead with the chats. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying he doesn't have any interest because i just don't know but i'm still hopeful he's not and until i hear something a bit more authentic, i'll cool my jets

but this is still hearsay

how long ago did he just sign a very lucrative long contract???? rhetorical question

well when people imply he has no local family support I'll keep correcting them not saying 1 family member is always adequate but it's a huge difference to none and sisters are prettyclose additionally i'm sure other teammates families can assist from time to time. we also have club welfare officers so it is not necessarily as bleak as some would say

you don't consider his wife's sister as family support?

give it a rest dt we know he had trauma and mental shock he's not the first sportsman to have a serious injury and surgery that's hardly a good reason to try and break a long term lucrative contract and throw your own club under a bus all this without the courage to issue a statement or interview and just watch the daily carnage as the untruths and misinformation fly in all directions. he's torching himself and all his team-mates for what? something called a brand

quality journalism

does anyone know where kozzy is at the moment? melbourne or wa?
