Was asked if it had been Judd, Gibbs and Murphy who had made the same mistake would the punishment have been the same. Answer-they were too professional to do something like that and yes it would have been.

This is a blessing in disguise. Betts will come back next week and will be eager to make amends. He has looked quite sore recently so I'm sure the break will help him.

I have heard from a very reliable source (this is 100% true) that Cloke has to play a certain amount of senior games this year to get a contract next season. At the moment he is one game short of fulfilling that criteria and with this indiscretion I doubt we will see him in finals. So we have seen the end of Cloke it seems.

Sounds very Bigfooty (ie BS) to me.

Were they 15 minutes late for recovery?
Or did they miss it all together?

Big difference in my opinion.

Garlett and Betts are fantastic players. Hope they can make it back in the team the following week.


I am in favour of any decision that assists Carlton in winning matches. Let's hope this is the right decision.


People aren't robots and they make the odd mistake (Assuming they were late for the recovery...missing all together is a larger mistake). End result - this takes away a lot of our speed and forward line pressure - mmm. Adelaide are in the box seat- change your tips.

Sounds very Bigfooty (ie BS) to me.

This comes from one of the parents of one of the players (I won't name who). Also heard that all three turned up in a taxi still drunk.

That makes Cloke a rather silly boy then.

Cloke was probably going to be replaced by Hammer or Sauce this week anyway and if he wasn't he probably should have been.

Garlett was excellent on the weekend but I strongly doubt he could play anywhere near that level for the second week in a row and gives Yarran a crack at a quality opposition rewarding his great form in the VFL over the past 2 weeks.

Eddie has been in terrible form imo over the last few weeks and could do with the rest hopefully coming back refreshed in time for the finals.

So theres no significant loss out of those 3 and it really sets the scene for the rest of the list and tells them that the club will not deal with bullshit from the players.

Given what we have gone through over the last 7 years. This is hardly the time to play the morals and ethics line.

The Football department is required to field the best team.

Call a club director and voice your disapproval today.

I have already called one. This will be raised at the AGM.

We have already sold a top 4 finish and this is just Bullshit.

The objective is to win flags. Good citizenship is something players can do when they retire.

Call a Director today and call them out on this..

Icke you will be called to account on this. Remember the members decide what happens in the end.

Good answer cos its true.

What if it was Fev, Eddie and Jeffery late......
