Well clearly having experience being a friendly neighborhood financial planner hasn’t worked.


Do you hate financial planners in general or that particular one specifically?

With respect, that's crap.

Essendon** also did this in 2012. Hird and Thompson, 2 former greats, driven champions, etc, etc.

I'm not saying he's no good. It's just that he's only ever proved himself in ONE arena, and it doesn't have much to do with running a multi-million dollar enterprise.
It's more him overlooking our list management portfolio that has me really excited.

Scomo now viewed by both sides of politics as a worse treasurer than Hockey.

That's quite an accomplishment .

And, like his clown mates, he campaigned against a banking RC for his entire time in govt.

Why our club would want to degrade it's already tarnished rep by promoting this economic simpleton is staggering .

Rexy, even though the article is behind a paywall I was able to view it via the link on Superfooty's Twitter. Maybe give that a try.

Nothing really new there, but I’m glad he’s staying on message and has avoided tv/radio.
(Even Bruce “dial a quote for the Hun” Mathieson is on message too).

What interested me was that some of MLG’s words match what a BF poster previously alleged he mentioned to him over the weekend.

I was lucky enough to have a good chat with our Pres on Saturday arvo and he was quite forthcoming.
- The club will have around $1.5 mill to spend on players.
- The club knew this would be a shite year as "The first time all the youth would be coming together on the field"
- They expect next year to be similar. ( I think regarding the amount of younglings on the field, not performance))
- Stated that we will get a big name free agent. In his words, "Don't worry about the what the media says, the big names WILL come, the GWS players will come, the Gold Coast players will come, the big names WILL come don't worry about that".
- The club is extremly pissed at Saturdays effort "Just not good enough, Carlton doesn't serve that crap up"
- Was really good to talk to and was quite open and honest (I hope) Iasked if there were any particular players they were targeting and he repied "we are looking at every uncontracted player"

this falls at Bolton's feet.

I'm sure in among all the internal planning and forecasts, not one single person at the club forecast we'd only have one win until now with a 60 percentage.

i can't think of one single coach right now that survived a 60 percentage on the ladder??


so instead of questioning any of this, instead of proceeding with any kind of caution. CFC blindly hand bolton a 2-year extension. it's madness.

jesus sheedy at 45% huh? wowee. that was his final year coaching, yeah? and worsfold is a stretch. coaching a drugged reduced team under penalties.


everyone else on that list proves my point. coaches with that 60% on the table are not the kinds you want running your club.

Not saying they are good, bad or indifferent just that they survived another year after finishing with those %'s, which was your original point.

The only decent part about MLG's low media profile is that is giving Gerard Whateley the shits. :lol:

I agree with Rexy's comment above, too, that MLG is best placed to do his media work in print media. Obviously MLG is not a great public speaker, but I do think it is important that he's out there selling the club to its members.
