Would you like fries with that Mcwine?
Sidenote: Maccas would be much better if they offered beer/wine with their meals. Would give whole new, refreshed meaning to their Happy Meals*

I thought we were soft, shallow and individualistic at the time. By contrast, the really exciting thing about the new crop is their heart and unity.
So we couldn't afford Best Available?
Trigg didn't make us enough money to afford his replacement. Cheeky bastard.

Who gives a toss .
The new bloke has got his chance .
Sometimes all people need is an opportunity .
Where was Simpson drafted again ...
Agree wholeheartedly.
No one gives a toss. The CFC couldn't afford the best candidate and we hand him over to the enemy. What's the big deal?
My post was in jest, just in case you didn't get it......but if that 'rumour' is fact, do you really think no one gives a toss? No one at all?
We couldn't afford Judd, but got Simpson instead. Win.

Whilst I know your comment was tongue in cheek - "Best available" =/= "Most expensive"So we couldn't afford Best Available?

Should have learnt that from the Malthouse debacle.

How would a Pies coterie member know who Carlton's preference was? I call rubbish on that one. Just the Pies trying to make out they stole something from us.

Definitely disconcerting if true. But does the CEO's salary come under the non-player, department cap?

Is Lehlean the best available? You are assuming

Yeh well good on us for standing firm...
I agree, but it could be possible that Lethlean was some way down the interview and negotiation path with both clubs, with it becoming apparent then to Collingwood that we had made him an offer, and were discussing possible terms, etc - the timing of which could certainly give the impression that we might've 'chosen' him. A sneaky leaker could very much have shared this with a coterie member.
Having said all that, we'll probably never know the truth.
Lethlean may have wanted the Collingwood job all along, knew he was favourite with Eddie and so came back at Carlton with a ridiculous ambit claim.

It'll never stop itching if you don't stop scratching Harks .
He's probably happier and definitely better suited flipping burgers in Brisbane so it might be a good idea if you give it , us and yourself a rest mate .

Lethlean didn’t get the job because he was found to be be second fiddle....you guys are hilarious 
Sorry, I wasn't very clear - there needn't be a Carlton source here at all. I was thinking more Lethlean himself, disclosing to Collingwood that his negotiations with Carlton had progressed to step X, or whatever - intimating that we had made him an offer. If this clearly pre-dates the appointment of Liddle, then that would indicate to Collingwood that Lethlean was indeed our first choice at that point.
Not saying I conclude that this happened, but it's standard fare when playing two parties off against each other - and could explain this rumour, factual or not.
You effectively said, "Who gives a toss if we didn't get our preferred candidate?"
Don't worry about itching and scratching and attacking the poster.
Think about what you put forward and how non-sensical it is and then we get some analogy as to where we picked up Simpson in the draft.
I really don't know what you're getting at and why you want to block discussion..........in the Rumour Discussion thread
