Bluemour Melting Pot XXIX

[Tony Lynn 15]

This joint is unreal. Even if Dow did ask for a trade the kid has been a starting mid in the side for the last 3 months (even round 5 before hurting his eye) and it’s apparently all the coach who won’t be here next years fault for not playing him.

This!

Still not sure he has set the world on fire either. Has improved slight but nowhere near where he could be.

You are good I trust, how are you my friend. I too have offer for much consider by your part.

You reckon that is bad. I am technically “married” to about 10 Ukrainian chicks and a few blokes!

Nothing technical about it. I know how you roll.

If Paddy wants to leave, the club needs to hold onto him until the end of his contract (2022).

A lot can change in 12 months.

Curious to know - is there anything to the Dow trade talk other than him being dropped?

Genuinely keen to know as I’d hate for him to be wanting out

Someone posted a rumour that he'd requested a trade, which coinciding with him being dropped has given it legs.

Choco, I ain’t a finance person but I reckon club success won’t flow from good finances. A rise in memberships will only be temporary if we don’t perform onfield. Carlton is a footy club, not a balance sheet.

Rather, winning will create club success and great finances. It’ll drive higher sustainable memberships (and not free handout memberships), more sponsors, and Carlton playing prime time.

And we’ve always had the capacity to pay for good coaches etc. Money ain’t an issue there. What is an issue is Liddle is CEO, not CFO, and has presided over changes in the footy department that have gone nowhere. Happy for him to stay in a reduced role that has nothing to do with onfield.

The only problem I have with Lyon is that he can implement a boring style of footy. Something I LOVED about Teague.

I hear ya, but what I find the most boring is losing the same way. Week in, week out....

 

[ferrisb]

Bombers went through the same sort of issues last year losing players.We t to the draft chose the right players and then BOOM SHAKALAKA!

The Bombers' new recruits this year have been a shot in the arm.

Which really isn't anything new for them....

 

[ferrisb]

I forget how wild this place is at the end of the year.

How is everyone?

About as chilled as Mount Etna in the middle of an eruption...

 

[ferrisb]

I’ve never wanted a weekend to be over so much in my life!

You obviously never watched Weekend at Bernie's II...

Dow has not requested a trade.

 

[Mister Carlton]

No real surprise. Can't see him commanding much interest.

 

[sosos]

Only little assistance for short time. Much wealth making for your benefit ?

Yoda is Nigerian?

One of them wouldn't be my ex-wife would it?

 

[Coona Blues]

Can you smell what the Blues are cooking?

Sous chef has it all ready for that personal, finishing touch.

 

[Dramoth]

Yoda is Nigerian?

He has died and left a large amount of money in a bank account and wishes to move it to your country so that he can reincarnate and claim the money there.

Is he Ukrainian?

 

[RoyalBlues]

That’s an unfair ‘drive by’; it wouldn’t be the reason he’d request a trade, if he had either.

unless you’re talking financial interest rates in which case chat to chocmilk or justabattler (both are on the same page )


btw that ‘same page’ is this one

 

[Zlatan]

Dow has not requested a trade.

Thanks for squashing that mate

Life's unfair.

Also Add the fact a good proportion of our growth in memberships are due to freebies and 3 match memberships

I think that's the holo-projection message R2D2 played for Leia.

 

[macky99]

No player has yet to officially ask out.

Opinion:

Obviously this may (is likely) to change. This is typical for a football club and not in the least bit unusual.

However, you can bet that players are waiting to see how the coaching saga plays itself out. If we do go in the Lyon or Clarkson direction it is just as likely those considering a move will be reinvigorated to stay (and vice versa).

Agree l don't really believe that Dow has requested a trade at all, he has a year left on a contract, any decisions on this type of decision would relate to the new coach & assistants coming into the club, which will bring about a major shift of direction/mindset for the playing group, l can only see Clarkson or Lyon having a positive effect on the mindset of this group and having a clearly defined game-plan for 2022.

 

[The Bighouse]

The whole team is at fault when they have a huge loss like that, so why does the club zero in on one bloke only?!!

Believe midfielders in for midfielders. GCFC game as well with no input. May need a rest.

If Macrae does get the Collingwood job, I think they have done very well. Looks like an astute selection.

His CV is very impressive, suprised he went so under the radar. Would have loved him as an assistant
