I’m reasonably sure, that in the infamous press conference, Pyke was asked if nudity was involved, and he said categorically no.

Mmmmm...
He also said that the Richmond song WAS played on the bus, but it wasn't, or maybe it was, or maybe it wasn't, or... :huh:

Any truth to the rumour in the main board about Eddie Betts

Consistently competitive - but loses genuinely good footballers on almost an annual basis.
Collective Minds camp seemingly a complete implosion, but then papered over with a complete farce of a press conference.
An unnamed senior player calls up Lever on the phone before a Grand Final and gives him a blast for not signing a new contract. Tex Walker's treatment of him isn't exactly up to scratch, either. Now rumours are that Betts was considering his position, and McGovern of course wants out.
Throw in the soft-tissue injuries, the mates' club that seems to exist between board and staff, and at the end of the day: how has such a good list been wasted so badly?

Choco also slammed the club for delisting Jackson after 1 year.
He said the club when making the decision on another year you look at his oldman whos played 300 games and that gets him over the line.
Rookies used to get an automatic 2 years.

Choco was off the top turnbuckle lol
Did basically say we’d burnt our bridges with that family

We struggled to attract decent talent to start with.

We finally get one with Francou, and he pulls the pin because we’re a ******* shambles.

We’ve got zero chance of attracting anyone decent now.

This club is ******.
I'm not convinced Francou was any good. Not on performance anyway

The damning thing from a club perspective is that they fed a lot of private information to CM for them to use as "ammo". That shit doesn't happen in any other corporation and that by itself should get the boss fired.
If what was said to Jacobs had anything to do with information fed by the club... Then I’m speechless.

Surely not.

Mark Williams talking about something terrible said to Sam Jacobs and saying "I'd understand it more than most" - Mark had a brother who died didn't he? I'm speechless
Are you though?

I've half expected it to come out that they chucked bananas at Eddie. Not making light of that- just that nothing would surprise me at this point.

My biggest concern is how many draft.picks we will lose over it.
You say this in jest. But I have real concerns the AFL, if they were actually considering a pick 2 PP for Carlton (far from inconceivable being a VFL darling club), this could make it politically impossible in case it comes to us.

AFL football is a business. If Jackson isn’t good enough, he isn’t good enough. Nobody else wanted him. He was rookie listed. Same with BJars. He had a chance and didn’t cut it. I have no doubt the club wanted him to make it. There is no room for sentimental retention. It’s pointless if he clearly isn’t going to be good enough. If this means we don’t get Luke, then the problem is with the Edwards’s IMO.

I expect people will be told to move aside, but if we actually lose draft picks......... I will lose the plot
