Worked with an AFL team?
Do you know Cooney? Judd? If not how do yo have this information then?
or is this all just your opinion? Lets state when things are opinions, gossips, feelings, faint wafts on a spring breeze, and when we know something for fact.
Perhaps you know for a fact Bower feels terrible and has lost confidence due to that dressing down. Then do you know what the club's doing about it?
Do know what Bower feels about Mitchel/ Mitchel about Bower?
Do you know anything or just bitching about the club becuase of your perceptions?
Don't get me wrong, bitch all you want, just wanted to clarify what's fact and whats opinion.
Danny happened to be at a dinner some time back last year with a Lady who was employed by the AFL to see how these insterstate recuits settled in.
Its a big problem getting them to settle down and one of the major factors is cash. Clubs are very slow at paying players and apparently Carlton is one of the worse. I'm not for one minute making excuses for Bower as I was out of home at 18 and loving it. But I did have a steady income. It may have been a bit different if I was miles away from home stuck with bugger all cash to spend and then having one of my bosses giving me a bollock .
So now its..........homesick, a bollocking AND not having any money. Anything we have forgotten.
Happened to have chat with a young CFC player today (No not PB). I asked him how he was traveling with Mitch.
He said the following.......He thought Mitch was a very good coach because tactically he was very smart and you always knew exactly where you stood with him. No wishy, washy stuff. No confusion as to how he thought you were traveling or what you need to do to improve your game. His game plan is simple to follow and he doesn't confuse you by constantly changing his mind. He likes players who put their head over the ball and run straight. He likes team players, not individuals. He likes sacrificial acts and 1%ers.
You do as you are told and play the way he wants or you cop a few words in your ear. He doesn't play favorites. He said he praises you just as much as he asks WHY?
He said the new kids had no problems with his style.
Regards CazzesmanCaz I'm only going on what this woman said to be it could be all bullshit for all I know .
And by the way I dont have a problem with the coach giving the players a dressing down -and I cant comment on Mitchell other than he seems to have a good record with the ants. If the players anything like me when I played it went in one ear and straight out the other. And its no different from being at work and coping a bollocking off the boss.
But you might know better than anyone - do the players have trouble getting paid - Because this woman was pretty pissed off with the Carlton football club
