OK paf, bear with me here. Are you saying that Carlton must draft the most talented player available rather than draft the most talented type of player available?

I've been reading your posts for years and I just get the feeling this is something you might think is important.

Jeanne Pratt has made a deal with the Carlton board for Fevola to be seriously considered to return to the playing list next season.
The above was reported on Melbourne radio today.



We would be the laughing stock of the AFL to do this..........................

This will NEVER happen !!!!!


Correct!
Ratten, Sticks, Judd, Mrs. Judd and the female journo from the Bostonian (who shall remain nameless) will never allow this to happen after the disgraceful performance at the Brownlow. Does anyone really think we would be that stupid - to finally eradicate a cancer from the club only to allow it back in again and to begin to fester in unmentionable ways again....

I don't think I've seen the club retain players because they're short on numbers at the position. I've seen them opt to only delist 1 or 2 from say a list of 4, but that's the same as any club. You've got to be realistic about what you can acquire in the off-season.

The worst uncontracted players generally get the flick; that's good enough for me.

Why is hotcox still allowed to post?

I mean, jimmae posted a fairly long laundry list of the dumb shit he's said that has proven not to be true. By keeping here, aren't you just removing whatever credibility the site still has?

Just my 2 cents...

Focus on the negatives and crucify me for the ones that i have got wrong but gloss over the ones that i have got right. Fair dinkum i have done nothing wrong, i haven't defamed anyone and people in glass houses should get a life.

You have to admit that you get a lot more wrong than right and the ones you do get right are kind of obvious.

Still keep posting. I dont think many take your calls too serious and most suspect a bit of tongue in cheek in most of your outrageous claims.

Good call Club. The only stuff he gets right can be picked up on any radio station before he posts it. I have observed this often in Hotcox posts. Its just spewing up the stuff all over the telly and radio

The ones that i get wrong can be ascertained to the following reasons:

The recruiting staff changed their mind.
The player changed their mind
The coaching staff changed their mind.
The board weren't prepared to offer the amount of money to satisfy the players demands.

What I don't get is why, if you're a lifelong Blues supporter who's privy to sensitive inside information, you'd want to go posting it all over the web.

How is that "supporting" your club?

Over the years I've known a few of people who have had pretty good info on stuff going on at the club and whilst they may have spoken to a few people about it privately they certainly weren't using a megaphone.

The recruiting staff changed their mind.
The player changed their mind
The coaching staff changed their mind.
The board weren't prepared to offer the amount of money to satisfy the players demands.


So from now on, each time you get 1 wrong, can you tell us which reason (from the list below) you are using to cover your arse. That way we can all keep score of your BS.

a. The recruiting staff changed their mind.
b. The player changed their mind
c. The coaching staff changed their mind.
d. The board weren't prepared to offer the amount of money to satisfy the players demands
e. I just made shite up to bignote myself on a website because I can.
f. All of the above but normally (e).
