Jason Carter

[Joao]

You'd think with everything that was going on in the world people would keep their noses clean and play hard to keep their jobs. Disappointed he couldn't get it together.

Doesn't work like that.

 

[Farrand]

Doesn't work like that.

I know sadly. I'm having the same problem with staff attitudes that I had before all of this began. A sense of entitlement.

Can be many different things but everywhere you go it is the same (I am no better, tbf).

What the hell is going on?

He's no real loss, but these sudden departures are Strange.

Prob need to bear in mind the effects of the current situation and mental health.

 

[Scham]

What a ****ing waste!

 

[DaveLister]

What kind of ****ed list management strategy is it to cut an indigenous player on indigenous round?

R u serious?

 

[Deathly]

What kind of f’ed list management strategy is it to cut an indigenous player on indigenous round?

What kind of ****ed list management strategy would it be to intentionally wait after Indigenous Round to do the inevitible. This is called being proactive.

I've got a pair of glasses to sell ya.

Just prepping for the media response.

Is Carter also represented by Colin Young?

Yes and no. At this point in a normal season, yes. But they take the whole playing group to the hubs, so if a guy isn’t getting a contract next year it makes little sense to take them to bloody Cairns (of all the stupid places in Australia, bar Victoria itself), rather than ‘come to an agreement’ (ie an early delisting which would normally happen a couple of months down the track). These amicable parting of ways most likely wouldn’t be happening if it were a normal season, and the club wasn’t about to head back to Qld.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Is Carter also represented by Colin Young?

according to Young’s company’s site, yes.

 

[MadMundy]

Good move, irresponsible, stamped his tickets over the weekend. Get the **** out of here Jason.

yeah this, in a normal season a conversation like this with Carter around this time (round wise) probably wouldn’t be uncommon, the difference being in a normal season he’d be able to just be at home, play out the season at Peel etc. this year not so much

 

[Lach72]

He asked whether he was getting a contract next year. They told him no and given he’s suspended anyway what’s the point?

 

[eastfreo75]

Agree.

No point a player who won’t be at Freo going to Cairns.

I expect some more delistings.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

No surprises here.

 

[Wilksyy]

Ain’t the end of the world, if he puts his head down and works hard he’ll get another chance.

All the best to him.

 

[Jezzitizle]

All the best to him, had high hopes when he first came in.

 

[One_Wing]

according to Young’s company’s site, yes.

So McCarthy, Carter and Hamling all managed by Colin Young and all fuel a negative media narrative around Freo. Not certain but smells like he has beef with someone at the club and is airing dirty laundrey in revenge.

 

[Farrand]

Prob need to bear in mind the effects of the current situation and mental health.

I certainly do. That's why I do long hours to ease the team back in. I'm in restaurants in the UK so I've been extremely busy and understaffed with the government 50% scheme running. So to ensure the team morale is good I have done close to 210 hours in the last three weeks in the kitchen (I am the general manager). I had to watch the Carlton game on my phone in the kitchen and I missed the majority of it. Especially the last two minutes when everyone came in at once. I'm on anti-depressants because of the stress of my job so believe me when I understand mental health.

Edit because I feel like a rant: My contracted hours are 45 a week. I don't get paid over time. so I've done close to 70 odd free hours. The company has a recruitment freeze so I can't employ. I lost some decent chefs from a closure restaurant because of this. I get no support from my company and I don't have a direct line manager as mine quit and still hasn't been replaced. So quite simply, I am very aware of the current situation and the effects on mental health, Scham!

 

[mike91]

Suspended, didn't see the point in going into the hub.

Stuffed up twice in the same season without a contract for next year. Let's admit it, immature brat and happy to see him leave. Sad from a career perspective, but he too has a lot of growing up to do.
