Bluemour Discussion Thread XI - Facts Not Welcome

[Just Kreuzing]

garlett too busy protecting his body to take a crucial mark........

Pathetic soft effort which used to infuriate me too much at Carlton.
Set shot goal kicking used to be pathetic also.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Would love Brodie though

Yeah mate I would too, but Id be really surprised if the Suns let him walk.

Agree

Ricky had a red hot crack at insanity. Taking no notice.

[BrisbaneCFC]

how would you tell?

Oh yeah, good point. Maybe I just should have said Ricky just being Ricky. A normal day in the life of.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

they bag us about betts but when you look at henderson, waite and garlett...............

Bell, Menzel and Buckley haven’t done much better, Robinson also hasn’t really hurt either.

Followed Carlton as a kid...,

I'll give the hooters robbo, sauce, betts and 2e........

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Just read hooters and liked....

How did Hawthorn benefit? They got a good assistant coach which just maybe is all Ratts ever was.

Anyway, we can't do much about all that now, we are better served by looking forward rather than back.

Like Hardwick, Buckley, Thompson, I believe Ratts had served a long 'apprenticeship' with dips in there but was on the verge of becoming an accomplished coach with a renewal of assistants. Him staying an assistant is more to do with his son's sad demise and him not wanting the extra pressure. Message is there days the head coach is not the be all and end all if he is willing to bring new ideas/people. Ratts was up for it.

As you should.

 

[footyfan1978]

Bell, Menzel and Buckley haven’t done much better, Robinson also hasn’t really hurt either.

We got 2 wins... two... that is 20 losses. The list management farce of 2010 to start of 2015 still hurting us. None of it has helped us....

Followed Carlton as a kid...,

Yeah sure I understand that. Im really struggling to find spots for the midfield names that keep getting thrown up. I can see a Setterfield or Brodie situation. I cant see a both of them situation unless Shiel isn't coming. Even then, I find Setterfield and Brodie basically the same player anyway.

 

[IronMan29]

Followed Carlton as a kid...,

Is his uncle at the club too?

Ricky Nixon must be drunk.

Some mentioned a few days ago his mail is usually good
FWIW

Maybe it is I don't really know. His history has me struggling to give him any credibility. And I like taking the piss on him. That's always fun too.

Ricky's mail is usually pretty reliable because it's certified mail from the claimant's lawyers.

As someone who doesnt live in Melbourne, what is the public transport like around the ground? That would be the killer as far as possible redevelopment goes I would imagine.

Pretty good.

Tram line right out front. (Royal Pde)
Another tram line about a 5min walk away. (Lygon St)
Bus line about 5min away as well. (Brunswick Rd)
Train Station about a 10min walk away. (Zoo)
Another train station being built (1-2years) 2.1km away. (University, I think it's going to be called)

Ricky Nixon tweets are more free-form word association then informed rumours.

Wouldn't trust him to tell me the time of day, let alone the inner workings of the club.

It should be with all his connections. But he also a nut job, so you never know what you getting. I'd lean towards it being likely but no point getting overly excited about. He is just not credible.

 

[Boy with chook]

I know from a pretty reliable source, who were sponsoring the club at the time. That Elliot had an agreement with the State Government (Kennet) at the time to redevelop the ground. However for those that can recall, he lost the next election which was a massive surprise and the new Government (Bracks) turfed the proposal and basically screwed Carlton.

Ah yes, that Election Day was THE preliminary final.

Even a broken watch is right twice a day.

All this tells me is that Ricky Nixon reads BigFooty.

Hi Ricky.

 

[katmanblue]

Or just don't pick him at all if he lacks the desire.

Don't pick him on a name.

Seems far better than what I was thinking it would be. Cheers for that.
