I am sure if all you twitter people out there send Mr Warner a message stating, that you can not wait for tomorrows story in the paper regarding the *FC salary cap scandals over the years, plus the 5 year anniversary edition of the drug debacle he and Robbo will happily oblige.

Don't twitter /facebook or any other social media interaction with him because that's what he wants. Its what he is judged on - if your going to do anything then cancel your herald subscription.
 
Seems to me that the media are just thirsty for blood.

The club hasn't buckled to the usual media frenzy to sack Bolts, so this article comes right at a time when Cripps resigns with our club in an attempt to block any good news developments.

What a bunch of useless tools these journo's are - absolute trash.

Salary cap facts the AFL would rather you didn’t know.

Like Gerard Healy being put on the Swans Medical staff to beat the cap.

.....or a Hawthorn premiership captains wife on 100k, under her maiden name as a typing temp.

Call out the media when they're disingenuous flogs imo. I don't understand why the club has a bone to pick with Caro about the Trigg departure, but happily accepts this sort of regurgitated trash from Warner.

SOS pick a personal bone with Wilson a little over a year since it went to print, and rehashed an old Matthew Lloyd article from 2013/14 to argue that his judgement of a lack of development at GWS at the time was a rather premature one.

We don't bite much, but when we do...
 
I think the issue's been dug up to go someway to explaining why we are still in a predicament some 16 years on. And to that extent, he's exactly right.

The culture of the club isn't great. Our grand final reunions are typically poorly attended, and there's a massive disconnect between past players generally and the current administration right now. Factions still divide the club, and that's a fact.

Imagine how great it would be to have our current kids constantly surrounded by 80s and 90s premiership stars. It would breed hunger and a drive to succeed. It's quite sad that this isn't happening anymore.

The only way the club will be reunited is through a premiership, but boy we are going to have to overcome so much adversity (of our own making) to get there.

I took it that MLG chose Robbo and the HUN because of the Caro/Trigg thing. Ignoring the fact they've been mostly dumping on us all year. Anyway, article quickly disappeared into the abyss.

Don't really agree with this. Surround them with quality people and people who will improve their game individually and as a team. Our current crop need to create their own history and become their own legends of the game and the only way they will achieve it is by striving and wanting it. Having past greats around doesn't really make you better unless you are talking socially.

Creating their own history?..
Sort of sounds like St Kilda FC

I did the ghost of pp tour with tony debolfo recently and mentioned if the current playing group are into the successful history of the club and all the legends he said the current players are well aware of it .. of course in fact they all do the pp tour along with their families when recruited he also said whilst this group are very respectful of our history and legends etc this group want to create their own history

On SEN now, KB has brought up the topic “are Carlton the biggest sporting cheats of all time”.

Just absolutely f***ing speechless at this... WTF?!!!

What is going on?!!
Last week Caro and Lloyd try to humiliate SOS on TV - but it backfired.
This week someone wheels Allison out just to remind everyone "Hey, remember Carlton cheated the salary cap 20 years ago!"
And now KB with this crap?
It's beginning to stink of a coordinated media campaign to slag us off and discredit us, as if we haven't fallen far enough.
Why, and what are they afraid of?
