That is absolutely fair dinkum. Its the reason he stayed on and trained. SOS hated him. SOS never liked him from the moment SOS walked back through the door.
Makes you wonder why SOS would say he would keep him on if he hated him so much....

I Really hope harry isn’t looking elsewhere. He’s young and needs to develop. Then again when the whole world is saying why isn’t he playing, when clearly he should be, it could play with your head
 
I would like to know why the club came out and publicly stated we won't be asking for a priority pick.. What was the purpose? Gaining a priority pick would have assisted it's playing list as well as the members morale who pay money to support the club.. a second round selections could have netted us a Jake Lloyd!!
I seriously can't understand the incompetence of the board coming out publicly after round ten. We won't win another game and we're the laughing stock of the AFL.
Well done Carlton....
Agree, I think the club owes the supporters and members an explanation.
The only reason I can think of why they made this public statement was because Gerard, Carlton hating, Whately was up in arms about us getting a PP and how there would be an outrage if we did.
I don't understand why the club did not just ignore as it would have blown over pretty quickly.
It is irresponsible of the club to make this statement not even half was through the season.
Imagine if Gold Coast finish above us, request one, and get granted one and we don't.
Madness.
 
Yes, im serious. Staying up late the night before your first day back at work is not a crime. You or i have no idea what work he put in over his time off and staying up late the night before returning for a few month long training block isn't going to be what tipped him over the edge.

Yeah, well that's the difference between regular people and those who want to be successful professional athletes.
 
If Mckay requests a trade then our club has some serious explaining to do. By not playing H, not only are we inviting other clubs to get in his ear, we are also diminishing his trade value by him being stuck in the twos.

The fact our VFL side is borderline uncompetitive makes it so much harder for him and Kerr to develop themselves.

If you were Mckay and you kept seeing players get rushed back from injury and go straight in to the side only to be dropped the next week or re injure themselves as they were not ready and keep seeing other players gifted games but you are still playing 2s even when Casbout gets dropped, then id be looking elsewhere too.
 
The club played the media like fools. And it seems many of our own kind are quick to lay the boots in on matters they don't understand.

WE DONT NEED TO APPLY. It is up to the AFL to use their disgression. Now it's put to bed so no need to hear any more about the matter
I think you'd better research it. Sam Maclure has questioned the AFL and they have basically said that clubs need to apply.

But that’s the whole issue with our club, it’s culture.

The standards set by the Board, Senior Staff and Senior players would have sorted out players who weren’t working hard enough, say like Gowers, and s myriad of other players that have gone by the wayside over the past few years.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

What if what the club has been saying is true?

The club has been saying the issue is experience and craft, which i don't buy.

im trying to see things from his point and i can see how it would be very frustrating seeing the club constantly bringing guys back underdone and playing 2 rucks on the weekend, despite every game H has played i think he has scored 1-2 goals.

If we keep ignoring him, someone else will show the love and we will be left with egg on our face.

Thoughts?
