Lots of our players are new to the club, don't know MM and therefore now nothing different. Guys like Dwyer, Oxley, Martin all thought they had missed out and now have a chance to make it in the AFL. Do you think they want to be bogged down with tales of MM and the 'glory' days? Nope they want to make their own and be part of it.

Grundy, Kennedy, Broomhead are in the same boat, they want to forge careers, make more money and have success.

When these guys see Dids, Daisy and co stuffing around, sowing dissent, not being professional re injury managment and being smart arses in the media what do you reckon they think? Bucks is their coach, he calls the shots and the vast majority accept that.
Could it be that the penny dropped for the likes of some of senior boys like Swan etc.
Would love to know what the dissenters were up to.

Just got a text from a fairly good source that Thomas has decided to accept.................

HAWTHORNS OFFER!!!

Not my usual source so trying to get them to find out but apparenlty he has told the pies players he is off to the Dawks.

If (please note the if) then the only positive is Carlton have missed out!!!!
So someone in the inner sanctum who just heard this news (eg: CEO, senior coach, list manager) has immediately got on his phone and texted his mates "yo boyz daizy off to da dawks"

"thanks Derek"

Yeah I don't buy it

Better than Carlton I guess.

Well the good thing was that let me go back to the source and say he is off to Hawthorn.

He checked and came back with 100% Carlton. I am prepared to have a bet with the other guy on it, so I am going with Carlton.

Sorry about that chief.

glory be, hate those pricks. Somehow pick 11 doesn't cut it for me unless we use it to snare a ready made player who doesn't have to learn the game at the top level.

Smith, Hodge/Mitchell, Thomas, not a bad centerline.

My gut feel is the club is glad to see the back of him due to his attitude and relucatance to embrace the new regime. Brat packers are all being kicked out.
Seems more and more that way, that those who aren't prepared to toe the line are moving on or being moved on. Hzve absolutely no inside word on Thomas /Shaw to substantiate some of the theories myself, but if it looks like a duck...

OT, but speaking of the coaches, are we still going to be stuck with the dud assistants we currently have? I have not heard any movement on this front.

Looks that way, I think it was eddie on radio a few weeks back saying the club is happy with all the coaching grp as it sits.

I am not so sure why Carlton is so confident. The Hawks & GWS will still be finding their feet and counting the new found millions in their cap. Both those clubs can easily blow the Blues & our offer for that matter out of the water easily.

If its about the best money I expect he will be at GWS, if its about success & good money then he will be at the Hawks, if its about loyalty & success he will be with the Pies, if its about giving old men BJs he will be at the Blues.

Been saying it here for a while blokes a money hungry arrogant piece of crap

His attitude during all of this has been nothing short of embarrassing and whats worse is his going to Carlton

Was worried about Thomas from day dot he was always insisted on 2 year deals to maximise his earnings, unlike Beams who took unders, Pendles generally 3 year deals bar when the new TV deal came in he took 1 year prior to it.
