We'll he got some recognition from Crippa, in an almost Back-handed, accidentally sink the slipper in kind of way...
.... Something along the lines of "I know the general population out there are wondering about you making 3rd place, but we never doubted the hard work you do..." or similar. :oops:

That’s not what he said at all.

Does anyone else feel like me that I am getting way too obsessed and spend too much time refreshing Twitter etc trying to find out the latest trade news and bombshells (not just about Carlton either)


Just glad the weekend is here, and no Trade Radio for 2 days, so we can get on with our lives before the madness really starts on Monday.
Wait trade radio isn’t on weekends? Well that’s annoying. What is Hutichson doing? He is probably on bigfooty so if you read this Craig, I’ll do 8 hours tomorrow of talking calls on trade radio for $50

Just do what I do, what I’m doing right now actually, ie download the podcast and listen to each episode. you’d be amazed at what you missed when listening when live.

I am almost at a point know where i think many of the proposed trades have already been agreeed on, its just that Croc Media and the AFL will be milking/dragging out all the most dramatic deals (like Joe Daniher and Tim Kelly) till the Cows come home..

The A League season kicks off next week and most of the Southern State media will still be talking about AFL Footy and trades. There is not logistical reason why we have to drag out the trade period for two weeks other than a cynical attempt to rail road other sports that are starting their season now or soon.

Bet there will be very few trades done on opening day, I remember one day years ago listening to Sam's coverage of the first day of thread trade week, and waited hours for news, the first breaking news by a frantic reporting Matt Thompson was that a high profile recruiting manager had finally arrived at Optus Oval/IKON Park (where it was then held)

Hutchy and Croc Media also bought and shut down Inside Football may (which I bought weekly as a teen) and now owns the Footy Record which is why I now never buy the rag.

He is Footy's Version of Rupert Murdoch is Hutchy and he has made another monopoly out of the trade period to line his pockets.

Ugh.
 
My bet would be that Ellis was happy with the initial deal but then Pask went around him once Cogs fell through and tried to get more money. SOS said GAGF and now Pask has to try and cover his arse and act like we were at fault so he doesn't cop the whack for stuffing it up for Ellis. That sort of thing would be pretty bad for a manager's reputation in a fairly small industry.
Pask has done himself and Ellis no favours here....always 2 sides to every story. Love for SOS to tell his side.(May never happen) Pask said in the interview that $'s with CFC had not been discussed....name any club that 'commits' to any player without $'s being discussed! Utter BS. Ellis ended up with 5yrs at plenty.....problem? Disappointing.....
We (CFC) move on....

Have been told SOS was talking to Ellis but did go 'cold' on him whilst chasing Cogs but when that fell through tried to re-start talks which obviously went nowhere.

My reading between the lines, it seems Gold Coast tabled the $3M/5 Year offer during our pursuit of Cogs.

When SOS went back to Ellis and Pask one assumes they said 'well here's the offer we have from Gold Coast - can you match ??'

All parties pursuing rational self interest in that scenario. No blame required.
