The other big question is:

where's Sybad? Doesn't look like he's been on-line today...

C'mon Synners, why did TBird decide to leave? Is it because of the coach? Was it because of the money? Is it because he has mates at Hawthorn? Or did we not make much of an effort to keep him?

"IF" he leaves, my bet it's not because of the coach, it's not because of the club, it's not because of the money â€¦ it's because of his manager.

I think we have to look at what Greg Miller did when Ottens announced that he wanted to leave Richmond at the end of 2004. Miller stood his ground and made it clear that 2 first round picks was the minimum requirement and Richmond ended up doing well out of the deal.

Thank heavens we finished last so we don't have to worry about losing him for nothing in the PSD.

What is the deal with Russell? Is there any truth that he wants to leave?

I don't believe there is. Kids generally want to stay. Managers generally stuff that up. :lol:

pick 1 and 6...... ooohhhh if i was big kev... ID BE EXCITED!!!!!!!!

Thornton= McPhee

Very good marking and attacking HBF.

Worth= round 1 and 2 picks for 200 games.

Unless they make Thronton Zac Dawson's back up. You never know with Clarkson.

Thornton vs Rocca 2007?

Can't wait.

If Carlton supporters really wanted Thornton to stay, all they need to do is gather 2-3000 supporters to make a personal appeal to him.....outside his place this Sunday!!

Street Party.
BYO BBQ.

I bet we get some good publicity from that.

"Passionate Blues Supporters"

I reckon we're a better chance of getting #3 from Laidley, even if Tbird is a bit young for him! :lol:

That's IF Tbird leaves though.

I'll be sorry to see him go, but if we can get pick 6 for him that'll make me a little less upset.

Don't be surprised if this isn't T-bird's manager playing silly buggers. T-bird could very well stay.

I think he's been made a fair offer by Carlton. I don't think it's about money.

What do you think it's about?

And again.

I love some of the comments here.
"He's no good anyway" "let him go" we'll get pick 6"

We have a problem that needs to be addressed. Young talented players shouldnt want to walk away from Carlton Football Club.
What happens if Murphy walks next year, or Kennedy?
Will be say "He's no good anyway"?

I'm one of the first to say Thornton is overrated but that's not the point.
Young players should be wanting to join the Carlton Football Club. Instead they're trying to get away.

We also need lots of TC'ers ringing up SEN.

Half pretending to be Hawthorn supporters desperate to get Thornton so they might play finals next season.

The other half Carlton supporters bemoaning the fact that the 'next Doull' looks like he may be leaving.

I wouldn't be surprised if Thornton's manager referred him to some of the damning/belittling posts on footy forums written about him, to help sway his thought's for a fresh start.

The article states that Carlton have offered Thornton what the hawks offered and money has nothing to do with it.

Why then would he want to leave?

That is a big problem, we have all feared this to be the case; it is the case.

Bring back the Blue Birds and a Blue Birds sponsor.

Virgin Blue: Proud sponsor of the Blue Birds

That's why it's important to have this out now (after the draft), between the factions. I want to see the best plan moving forward, and I don't want to have to wait till all our players are gone.

Yeah, I'm sure the new elite training facility will be a good start, but that'll take a couple of years to build.

Could be many reasons Effes. But I know the one you are fishing for. :wink:

Thorton is a @#$%&! sook with an oversized ego.

People here who think they are in the know have told all and sundry that he thinks of himself as a bit of a midfielder and wants an opportunity there and has been disgruntled with Dennis for not giving him a go.
Well @#$%&! him a good team player plays where he is required not where he wants to.

The fact is we havent gotten rid of Dennis so therefore anyone who is unwilling to play under him needs to Piss off. This may see us at the bottom of the ladder for years to come but I doubt it personally. The board has made their bed by keeping him on and will be judged for it, if not in the next few months definitely by the end of next season.

If the club really wants to make a point the they stick to their guns in respect to contracts and screws the Dorks for all they can get. Thornton has put himself on the open market so we should shop him around to all and sundry and take whats best for us. I'd love to be able to do a deal with the Scum but Sheedy is probably to shrewd, but hey woudnt it be nice to see Thornton as the player with the most spoons listed against him in the record books when he retires.
