Must disagree... bringing Cooney and Giles on top of getting Chapman last year and giving Fletcher another year is a fantastic result for this club. Its a shame the 2pm deadline hit when it did.. Gavin Keane, Paul Hamilton and Brad Plain were just about to re-commit .. will wait for the PSD now.

According to the experts, the top 7 are cast in stone while 8-20 are fairly even.
So it's perhaps a case of having no particular overriding needs and selecting a good player from whoever remains.

No-one in their right mind would want to go to Essendon*. Cooney is only going there as his career was over at Whitten Oval.

Just on that point, I wonder if Josh Caddy whom was adamant about being traded to the Bombers 3 years ago, caught wind of the supplements program at Essendon when he came out of contract a year later and decided to move fo Geelong.
Makes me wonder about his change of heart in the space of a year. Hmm
The biggest news today was the sale at the Carlton Shop. 60% off had me grabbing at all sorts of merch. Then I heard the voice of reason telling me to settle down. My wife was not keen on spending a few hundred dollars. Dutifully I caved in and walked out with a couple of polos for $64.

Well for recording so Tuesday maybe by the time it's edited
VFL and WAFL set for Channel Seven in 2015
It would be good to have a VFL program of sorts along with this proposed game coverage.
That's highly unlikely given the relative lack of interest it may be something worth having a look at where state leagues could be discussed.
BTW: Have the ABC any money left at all? Cuts have been significant in recent times.

Two sad looking ex-Blues... wish them well!
GWS recruiting boss Stephen Silvagni set to quit club
Probably needs a thread of its own or at least a suitable one but I couldn't be bothered.
SOS to us? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm not a fan and don't want another ex-Blue just because............
Never been a fan of nepotism. Didn't work with Sticks and may not work here.

I dont think that it is an issue with him being at the club when his sons get drafted. After all, his dad was working at the club when he got picked up

Best mates with Mark Lo.
I can see it happening.
I can see it happening.
Needs to be the best person for the job, not the best carlton person for the job.
Having said that, I ******* love SOS.

As long as he doesn't push Rogers out because of his last name.
Always starts off all smiles................doesn't it?
Get Wright CFC and we're doing it properly..............SOS? Would be disappointing.
List management can be a separate role to recruitment and then we have the football manager getting his hands dirty also.
Happy for us to separate roles with a clear chain of command but not under a let's see what happens scenario..........and did I say no to SOS?
If SOS brings Treloar with him next year I think I could live with this
No. One shot isn't enough.

Whether he is an ex-player or not should have no bearing upon giving him a position at the club.The only relevant consideration is whether the club believes he is the best person for the job.
Being list manager at GWS at the time they were being gifted so many high end picks in the draft really doesn't prove his worth one way or another to me.
Loved SOS as a player but it doesn't make me want him to be employed by the club. I don't think his friendship with LoGiudice should come into it either, Sticks and Ratts were mates too, that didn't work out too well for us. I'd be much more comfortable with the club filling any list management position with an experienced person with the runs on the board who has no prior connection to the club.
