Not sure what you expect, the man is gone but the damage he did will be ongoing. Those 6 top draft picks won't magically reappear now Trigg is gone.
No amount of bitching a moaning will give us those picks back

If you guys put as much effort into solving problems as you do into moaning about problems then maybe something could be acheived.

Actually it's a Trigg to be Carlton CEO thread, not a continuation grizzle and complain thread. You've got plenty of those already. Leave the BS for them.

Its a thread with Trigg in the title, you should expect to read about the damage he caused to the AFC.

Especially in the light of the spin he and Chapman are putting on Triggs "acheivements" - most of which are all attributable to the AO move.

Arguing Jen-style, in eight easy to learn steps!


Step 1: Be wrong (VERY IMPORTANT)

Step 2: Argue for months anyway, name-dropping occasionally to give even more validity to your wrongness.

Step 3: Be proven wrong, over and over.

Step 4: Proclaim loudly you are leaving the thread, never to return.

Step 5: Return.

Step 6: Argue for a few more months. (optional)

Step 7: Tell people to "move on."

Step 8: Rinse, repeat.

Well we hastened his departure!!

If Trigg and Chapman can spin the rubbish about his acheivements we are within our rights to bring up his real acheivements.

As has been pointed out many times, we as members have zero opportunity/impact on what the board/admin do. We can't put up a rival ticket to oust Chapman.

Arguing Slippery Pete style:

Step 1: Be a jerk (MOST IMPORTANT). Makes you feel like such an internet hero.

Step 2: Attack poster when disagreeing with their opinion. Ridicule or belittle, either seems to work just as well.

Step 3: Refer back to step one.

6??

I'm just pissed off he can't be made to leave immediately! He should have gone with Tippetgate.

He is a cancer to the club and, like a cancerous limb, he should be excised now not at the end of the season.

The strangest thing is that a common theme is you guys don't want a "YES MAN" in the job yet when someone come in a is not a "YES MAN" to your opinion you abuse them belittle them because they are not you little yes man.

4 with penalties and 2 with Tippett.

We were offered 1 first round and White from the Syds who knew about the dodgey contract, its not unreasonable to think that on the open market he would have been worth 2 first rounders.

Can I do one?

Arguing Deaneus style:

Step 1: Get angry about something you don't really understand fully.

Step 2: Post diatribe about whatever makes you angry.

Step 3: Immediately reflect on your posting and realise you haven't given the issue enough thought

Step 4: Post an amusing picture from the internet in place of actual football knowledge

Step 5: Pray for external validation while you reflect on your miserable life


Am I doing it right?

So, he lied on a statutory declaration which is punishable by 4 years in jail, but he never went to jail. I'm pretty sure you never gave me the answer to that one.

Jen, do you remember when we hired those high-priced lawyers and were going to fight this like crazy, all the way into the courts if necessary, and then a week or so later decided to plead guilty to all charges?

Strange and sudden change of strategy. Why?

The AFL just had to throw those stat decs on the table and it was all over. So 'we' plead guilty, take the penalties and keep it as all as quiet as possible.

Committing an offence doesn't lead to automatic jail, there has to be a complainant. The AFL of course did not want to involve the police or the courts but those stat decs gave it incredible leverage to get a satisfactory outcome i.e. a guilty plea from Trigg and the club.

[Those stat decs are standard practice in the AFL - they are submitted by club officials when they submit the player contracts to the AFL. They declare there are no other arrangements with the player outside of the contract submitted to the AFL. It is meant to ensure there are no secret side deals (which is of course exactly what we had with Tippett.]

Can you solve the problem of the missing draft picks for me. It's a problem in desperate need of a solution.

I said it in the trade thread last year we should have traded Douglas Last Year to someone like GWS for a first rounder push hard for free agents this year like we did for Betts last year. The way the supporters have supported Betts will boost others looking at coming over this is something that we as supporters can do.
