List Mgmt. Welcome Bailey Smith - officially (and finally) traded to Geelong

[Lana]

He is fantastic, pretty much everyone would wish they had someone like that in their corner

 

[Catman]

He ran rings around Caro there

It's this type of attitude and how we manage things here that is one of the things that appeal to players at other clubs when looking at a club they'd like to play for.

Cant emphasise this enough. They see him backing his players in..... while Bevo for eg is out there ripping them to pieces.... some warranted in the JUH case of course... but you get the idea.

GO CAtters

I've always seen her as my childhood manifestation of the bitter old witch cackling in the corner, doing nothing more than stirring the pot as she rambles on and scares little kids and animals.

You can instantky see how sharp and intellectual he is. He quickly and instantly puts her to the sword with his responses.

Will be a sad day when this man moves on

Thats a good post , re JUH , he did say a while back , you just cant pick and choose which days you are going to turn up to training

I dont mind Bevo, because unlike some coaches who are Car Salesman types , Bevo held a very important position for a number of years , Crime prevention unit , , not some bullshiit salesman type , who literally just keep talking to the cows come home .

 

[frggr]

Holy shit - Caro is SEEEEEEETHING

 

[frggr]

We are so fortunate to have Chris Scott.

10000%

He handled that so, so well. I don't understand how people don't get that the reason Geelong is successful is exactly for these reasons - handled appropriately and no berated/humiliated etc

God damn Christopher Scott is quite the articulate man.

Great hair too.

Dunno what wine you're drinking but I'm glad mine doesn't have a good head of hair.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Caro doing her level best to make a big story out of a few scraps of information. Very similar to the recent rush to suggest wrongdoing by the club for breaches - has anyone bothered to circle back to her nearly 2 weeks after the claims were aired publicly and hold her to account. No. Because most in the industry are too scared.

Refuses to ever back up the legitimacy her sources - never held to account when stories turn out to be false or misleading - and conveniently plays foul when challenged. And for the record, no I couldn't care less if she's a woman - good on her for being a ground breaker for female journalism. But if you live by the sword then you must die by the sword.

How dare she, and countless other journalists carry on like self righteous hypocrites when a player steps out of line - or in this case, where a professionally run club chooses to deal with a matter in house and not in public. It's petulant self serving behaviour of the highest order. "Oh it's not fair - they won't tell me what happened so I'm going to take the high moral ground and act offended and appalled".

Good on Chris Scott

I don't get why anyone in the industry would be scared to call her out?

**** me she just couldn’t let it go that the club would had handled it in a non public manner while still supporting the player publically

she really is vindictive

As it ****ing should be …but I think everyone involved bar Caro and co could see it was just a response and not a serious one at that to a dropkick on social media

Caro's a Richmond nepo baby parasite.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Is this the same Gryan who said "I wouldn't want to listen to that again" about Smith's pre-game pep talk.

Yeah too many swears!

 

[frggr]

I presume the answer is "because she's a woman" but the REAL answer is because she's part of the Richmond hierarchy

She's that inner-circle, she was in the room as a teenager when her dad was calling people in to get the axe from RFC in the 70s.

There is a bitter war going on between channel 7 and 9, Agenda v Classified, so they are creating stories and drama.

The part where he says "Just because we're not publicly bagging our own player doesn't mean we don't discuss things privately".

I think THAT is what pisses off Caro and her friends in the media so much.

They're so desperate for a big public spectacle and controversy, and Scotty just sits there completely unflustered "Yeah anything we say to our blokes we can do behind closed doors, it's really none of your business what we say and do in a 1-1 setting"

 

[MisterMarcus]

Anyway, I still get the feeling I've missed a couple of steps in this whole business. Like I'm back at school and the teacher is explaining a subject I don't understand.

1. Bailey makes a completely off-the-cuff obviously joke response to an equally obvious troll.
2. ????
3. ????
4. Biggest Scandal In The History Of AFL!!

Did I miss a story about Bailey slaughtering puppies or something??
