Blight is right. He doesn't mind taking the long handle to his old clubs when they fu** up.

Yeah I heard it live. He was 100%, even for someone who seems to have lost his marbles years ago.

Thats not how Carlton works. They believe a large group of highly paid players is how you get successful. Salary Cap? What Salary Cap?

Best carlton recruit story was when john platten was playing for Centrals and at the end of 1985 looking to cross to the vfl.

Rat meets with john elliott who gives him $20k straight up under the table in an off the books agreement to join the blues.

Rat takes the money and heads back, refuses carltons offer and joins the hawks instead. An irate elliott gets on the phone and demands the money back. Rat says cant, its sitting in my driveway, he'd juat bought a new commodore to celebrate been picked up by Hawthorn.

One of those huge nights on the sporting calendar tonight so who gets the yellow jacket Riley O'Rory or Rory O'Reilly?

I reckon the next Tony Modra will don the Piss Coat.

I don’t care. I a. Sure that the highlight packages from rounds 1 to 13 will be. really sparse

Brad Crouch's yellow jacket will be available at Savers in a few weeks.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Asked on the FIVEaa sports show about the possibility of leaving the Crows, Crouch gave an unbelievably frank answer:

Actually comes across as a really decent, genuine bloke here. Deserves better than to be stuck at the cesspit.

If we do end up losing Ollie at the end of the year I'm 100% on the Crouch train now.

Oh man those Gold Jackets are ugly.

Would be a downgrade though.

They’ll be polishing a few turds I reckon.

A downgrade on the Ollie of the last two months for sure.

But that may not be a choice we get access to anyway (keeping Ollie), can only focus on what we can control.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Is the media seriously still banging on about Ollie leaving? He's got 2 years left FFS

 

[Lightning_Rod]

Great news this morning with ex captain nathan van-illa joining the crows coaching group as midfield coach.

Unless Ollie wants to sit out a year and go to the draft and land at Crows or Roos we definitely have the say.

I made that nickname up on Bay 13 about a decade ago, good to see it's still getting a run.

I don't reckon our style is to force a player to stay who doesn't want to be here, but you're technically correct.

Does he look like a player who is desperate to leave though?If it were one year left on his contract we might consider a trade but not two unless it is our club’s best interest.

Be funny if was Riley O'Brien (most likely), but old Joseph Uzumcu had been told Rory Laird...

He doesn't right now, but I still think its a 50/50 shot.

Our best scenario is he continues on with Port, and keeps up his recent form and even gets to another level. That's what I think most people hope for. But if he wants to leave, we may be in a better position if we facilitate it, get something for him, and take on Crouch as a replacement. It's complicated.

Would rather keep him for one more year.

Exactly 16 years since our last flag, and hopefully 29 days until our next one.

16 years ago today I was in Melbourne having breakfast somewhere in Southbank. Our choice was based on how many Port supporters were in the place compared to Lions supporters.

Was an awesome day and night, with much alcohol consumed. Ah to be 23 again

The only way Riley O'Brien doesn't win is if they don't have one of those shit golf jackets big enough to fit him. He should come first, second and third this year.
