That is so generalised it's ridiculous. As a member it's a bit like being a shareholder of a company. We are well entitled to have an opinion on our club.

Personally I am frustrated and angry. Have been for a while. We are pathetic in so many areas.

Why is it a poor reflection to want success?

Synners is right. It starts at the top.

The difference in all this discussion is that Cazz is a "representative" of the club. His comments and replies are immature, offensive and just something that shouldn't be put in writing on an internet forum. Does nothing positive to the image of the club and its people.

The fact is I want answers and how we are going to fix our problems. Simple. As a member and supporter we are entitled to know.

I am sure that Swann and the board would not be supportive of his responses.


I think everyone is getting a little precious here, my guess is Cazz posts in here for the same reasons we all do, he's a staunch supporter of the CFC and enjoys the camaraderie (LOL). Remember this is just one of many CFC supporter forums on the internet and has no official status with CFC.

If people really think Caz should be posting here as a Club rep then I suggest we create a new "official" account for him where he can post as an official and we can deal with him as such (although why would he take on such a responsibility when he will get nothing from it but puerile abuse?).

In the meantime perhaps a simple disclaimer in your footer Cazz along the lines of "The views expressed on this forum are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer"? Then we are all clear where everyone stands.


Too late. You can't pick and chose. It's about perception. Cazz is involved with the club. Of that there is no question. Imagine if a board member, player, media person etc. acted that way?

Not once has he ever given a serious and constructive answer to any question regarding the recruitment of players.

You may see it as puerile but I see it as a reflection of what is wrong with our club. His attitude towards people on this website can't be condoned. He is a employee (volunteer) of the club. OUR club. He is also part of a division that rivals NBN Corp. By any measurement they are a massive failure.

We have a vital trade and draft period coming up in the next few weeks. Absolutely Vital. How can anyone have confidence in this group?

As I have said if this was a public or private business the people employed would be sacked. Do the board
or CEO know of these postings? If so, do they support them?

Unfortunately we have a club in disarray and people on here get away with childish remarks and innuendo.

Let the review begin.

noones gunna get bashed buddy.. i know cazz and gilly and half this site "in the real world" never been bashed by any of them....

but i dont wanna be cyber bashed by people on here with a bunch of unaccountable bullshit!
The recruiting list management.. development.. direction of this footy club is disgusting.. and if cazzesman wants to get into me for bringing it up its his right!!!..but he needs to have a case... just like any copper would need to have a case if theyre going to make an arrest....

this club has drifted along way too long for a guy to swing blind punches every time he hears any kind of murmuring of discontent.

recruitment and development and the club is shit!!!... lets not get stuck into people just because they point that out

over at bimberblitz people get banned for asking questions...thats what happens when people have their heads up their ass!!!

ideally.. cazz would be smart to separate his work from our debates...!!!

i know it s hard... but that is what a professional would be doing..

now an amateur ....he would be coming on here throwing haymakers at every flower that utters a word of disconetent.. hoping that stupidity and inepness isnt brought up....

Professionals dont get caught u in arguments they cant win.. they get their results to do the talking....

Our blokes.. they wanna @#$%&! up.. and defend the @#$%&! ups from any discord..

not for a year ... but a decade!!!!

@#$%&! ups are nothing alien to them... they dont care!!1.. there is no such thing as a @#$%&! up!!!
There is no accountability with these people... they dont care.. one year... five years... ten years...all you flowers!!.. suck up our fuckups!!1.. dont compain...!!!...u have no right to be alarmed about any @#$%&! ups we do..!!!

We are in a world where this no accountability... and if you complain.. we will tell you youre a dick!!.. you dont know what youre tallking about.. and you never played footy at a high level...
Classic sycophant cronyism behaviour!!!

Dont tell me what to do or say...... if i think the recruitment dept is shit ill say it!!..if i think you blokes have set us back years... ill say it...!!!....


Now Graham.. was a good get by Stevo for the club!!!!!.... :thumbsup:
Make no mistake.. even if Graham wont be a superstar...he is still better than what Rogers/Hughes would have thought about picking up left to their own devices(Temay a 178 cms back pcket with no weapons that come to mind 20 odd picks prior)

As a Carlton supporter and 15yr poster on TC and TBV I use to get bent out of shape by blowhard verbose posters with over-rated opinions of their own importance (including myself :wink: ) but times change and now they just make me laugh and want to post pictures.

Life's too short to be bitter and twisted. Turn that frown upside down all you dearly depressed.

Regards Cazzesman


Ah yes, I forgot you were on TBV as well, was Synbad on TBV as well? I must admit after reading too many of his 23407 posts on TC it's all become a blur (although strangely enough they all seem to reduce down to the same 10 ideas!).

one of those ten ideas.. is were poorly run and we must make a clean break!!!...

still not a bad idea after all those posts and all those years.. most people have not come to terms with it...yet!!!

People dont listen... i wish they would have ... i would haave come up with more ideas... but when people dont get the fundamentals whats the point???

Cazz has no real world views....

his views

"we are young"... (to the music of benetars love ia a battlefield)
"anyone who has any criticism about recruting must be a

Image

Thats the extent of his valuable views...

Theyre crap!!!

Does he even understand the concept of conflicted interest and being taken seriously ???

noooooooo he doesnt...!!!... and thats why he continues to express his "views"

Not every post on here is about you Synbad, and mine certainly wasn't.

In the scheme of things you are reasonably harmless.

As I understand it your argument is if we win it's because MM has worked wonders and if we lose it will be the recruiters fault. Is this about right?.

I don't suggest the list is so healthy it should be a top 4 side, but I do think that it was good enough to not have to rely on the Bombers falling out to make it.

I'm just not prepared to let MM have a free pass and neither should you.

Sunday is the day and I'm ok about our chances, but its only 50/50 still, we've played some reasonable footy in the last 3 weeks, but we've also played some shit.

no my argument is... we need a full independent review of the whole footy club from top to bottom.

when have i deviated from that being central???

its been years ive been saying it!!!

no we simply must win!!!... no excuses...

but because Rich ond were behind us and Miller had destroyed them and if they come over the top of us.... with Cazzesman telling us what a gun recruiting tea we have had...and got!!...

Something has to give.. !!!

And in this case....if we cant get over a hapless Richmond with a hapless 30 years.. and a hapless Miller in charge of recruitment..

#GodHelpEverybody

#StandbyCazzesman

See.. we have been lied to!!!...
We have been cheated!!!
We have been shooshed!!
We have been tricked!!!
WE HAVE BEEN SCREWED!!!

We have been anyway... by the machine.. but this is all of that and more out there exposed for all to see...

And this is why Cazzesman should not be knocking me if i have an opinion about the recrutmeent and the club...

he just makes me more galvanised...steeled..determined... focussed..!!!

the two best players we have drafted in the last 13 or so years... are Fev and Simmo.. (if u dont include top 3 picks but you can arguably include them..)

Sorry to interrupt but back a few pages people were viewing a lack of NRS nominations as a sign of failed drafting. I think it has to be kept in mind that GC & GWS have had the cream of the draft the last 4 odd years and played many of them from day one, which skews it in their favour.

not really teas with later picks have had nominations...
since 2010... there have been 66 nominations of which we have won none...

That is so generalised it's ridiculous. As a member it's a bit like being a shareholder of a company. We are well entitled to have an opinion on our club.

Personally I am frustrated and angry. Have been for a while. We are pathetic in so many areas.

Why is it a poor reflection to want success?

Synners is right. It starts at the top.

The difference in all this discussion is that Cazz is a "representative" of the club. His comments and replies are immature, offensive and just something that shouldn't be put in writing on an internet forum. Does nothing positive to the image of the club and its people.

The fact is I want answers and how we are going to fix our problems. Simple. As a member and supporter we are entitled to know.

I am sure that Swann and the board would not be supportive of his responses.


I think everyone is getting a little precious here, my guess is Cazz posts in here for the same reasons we all do, he's a staunch supporter of the CFC and enjoys the camaraderie (LOL). Remember this is just one of many CFC supporter forums on the internet and has no official status with CFC.

If people really think Caz should be posting here as a Club rep then I suggest we create a new "official" account for him where he can post as an official and we can deal with him as such (although why would he take on such a responsibility when he will get nothing from it but puerile abuse?).

In the meantime perhaps a simple disclaimer in your footer Cazz along the lines of "The views expressed on this forum are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer"? Then we are all clear where everyone stands.


How about this disclaimer.....

As a Carlton supporter and 15yr poster on TC and TBV I use to get bent out of shape by blowhard verbose posters with over-rated opinions of their own importance (including myself :wink: ) but times change and now they just make me laugh and want to post pictures.

Life's too short to be bitter and twisted. Turn that frown upside down all you dearly depressed.

Regards Cazzesman


Ah yes, I forgot you were on TBV as well, was Synbad on TBV as well? I must admit after reading too many of his 23407 posts on TC it's all become a blur (although strangely enough they all seem to reduce down to the same 10 ideas!).

I first met Caz and Synbad at Andys first training session (2004)whilst having a coffee(and the mandatory "dart", 'twas in the old Heatley stand. You guys were like brothers, explain to us all why the major fallout?

You only have to read the responses of Cazz. Here is someone who has an intimate knowledge of our recruiting yet cannot answer a question sensibly or with any factual evidence. His responses are childish and as such are a poor reflection on the CFC whether he likes it or not. In the private sector he would be sacked for such remarks.

The fact is our recruitment over the past decade has been incredibly poor. There is no denying it.

Yet, the same people are still involved. I would really like someone to explain the Wayne Hughes move. Proven to be not up to it yet is demoted and not removed. From a pure business point of view it doesn't make sense. They have been hugely responsible (with others) for the worst decade or more in our clubs history. If they were true and genuine Carlton people they would resign.

If the recruitment of Williams is supposed to be a great deal why isn't he in charge?

Until we get this area right we will struggle and the sooner the whole department is cleaned out and replaced the better.


Normally I try and stay out of this shit... But really get a grip... If you think Caz or anyone really will give you an insight into the club on a site like this well...well @#$%&! me dead. :banghead: Caz is on a hiding to nothing really. Yet he sticks up for the lads and tries to get people to show how the mistakes have been made, what they would have done or do differently etc...after all it is easy to bitch and moan but its a lot harder to actually come up with reasonable alternatives.

Synbad wants nothing less than an admission that Carlton's reruiting has failed miserably, and mass seppuku from anyone who's been involved in list management over the last 15 years.

I'm not defending our record but its a misleading measure; development is a big part of it as well. Top draft picks can make a club lazy I reckon. We do now need to see it all coming together to push us into top 4. Then, and only then, can we look attractive to prospective players and trade ready made players. Look at hawthorn getting gunston, lake, Burgoyne, Gibson, as well as developing their young talent. Success attracts those players but we have to get ourselves to top 4 first to attract them.

You only have to read the responses of Cazz. Here is someone who has an intimate knowledge of our recruiting yet cannot answer a question sensibly or with any factual evidence. His responses are childish and as such are a poor reflection on the CFC whether he likes it or not. In the private sector he would be sacked for such remarks.

The fact is our recruitment over the past decade has been incredibly poor. There is no denying it.

Yet, the same people are still involved. I would really like someone to explain the Wayne Hughes move. Proven to be not up to it yet is demoted and not removed. From a pure business point of view it doesn't make sense. They have been hugely responsible (with others) for the worst decade or more in our clubs history. If they were true and genuine Carlton people they would resign.

If the recruitment of Williams is supposed to be a great deal why isn't he in charge?

Until we get this area right we will struggle and the sooner the whole department is cleaned out and replaced the better.


Normally I try and stay out of this shit... But really get a grip... If you think Caz or anyone really will give you an insight into the club on a site like this well...well @#$%&! me dead. :banghead: Caz is on a hiding to nothing really. Yet he sticks up for the lads and tries to get people to show how the mistakes have been made, what they would have done or do differently etc...after all it is easy to bitch and moan but its a lot harder to actually come up with reasonable alternatives.


If they can't, stay out of it. As was mentioned its a reflection on the professionalism of the club. Simply shouldn't be on the site especially given the petulant crap he spouts.

To say other alternatives haven't been discussed, that he shows how mistakes have been made just shows you haven't been reading what has been discussed.

In the end this is about a club that is in its worst period in its history and that people responsible are still involved.

You may be okay with it but I'm not.

Success is built by picking good players, developing them and a winning culture.

If you don't recruit properly how can we have any of it?

Not One NRS in the last 70. That is disgraceful.

Hawthorn are able to recruit others etc because they have recruited well, developed depth and as such have been in a strong position to trade. In reality what have we got to trade?

They also have the strength and knowledge to make changes in all areas when necessary.
