Well it must be true.
All your other rumours have been on the money.
You said Thornton and Fisher were definitely gone..
You told us Bower was gone back to WA.
You said SOS was joining Pagan at Carlton.
Mitchell was gone last year.

All spot on! Not.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Maybe 7th times a charm.

3 certainties in life..Death, taxes, and Denis not coaching Carlton next year.

So are you banking on Denis getting us to 10 wins then Melvey?

Cause that's the figure Pratt has put on us for this year. Good luck Den Den, sounds like you'll have plenty of new staff to go with you to wherever you coach next year

I was just wondering who this Melvey is.

Thanks for clearing that for us BV (and for protecting the naive)

Speak to 2 of the younger (very) guys. They will tell you otherwise. But then , yes, some do warm to him.

I dont want Ratts to get the job. I want a non carlton man.

It must be little lunch in the playground.

Thank God. I think all the couches at the club are very comfortable, functional, and the players like sitting on them, and it would be a real waste of money changing them.

The coach on the other hand......... Now that's a different matter.........

Funny stuff Melvey

There's so much I could say...

Hi all, this is my first time on TC, congrats the site looks great!
Something just doesnt seem right with this coaching circus we have at the moment.
It just makes so much sense to terminate DP now and install Ratts in to a caretaker role while we go through the whole process of finding the right man for the job, which might/could be Ratts.
What is Dick Pratt up to?
I am sure he has the matter in hand, it is just very hard to sit back and wait for the outcome.
IMO Dick must already have someone else maybe Voss i am not sure.
He simply is not the type of pres to let this Garbage continue without a plan!
Just hurry up already Dick
BTW just after a quick look around i noticed Flower used a bit
is this a special word?
also if anyone has any tips for me feel free to tell me

On that basis Fraser Brown should be our next coach. He very rarely lost the wrestle to hand the ball back to the umpire

If we appoint Ratts caretaker coach for the rest of the season he either coaches next season or we've lost him to the club.

If he doesn't coach us next season I'd rather he go away and coach at Melbourne or Fremantle, gain some experience as a senior coach and be ready to come back to us in 5-10 years when whoever we appoint for next season is done here.

Good luck whatever you do Ratts!

Welcome to TC, Edge. Somebody normally does it and this time it looks like I get the privilege.
I am not sure we need to terminate Pagan. Maybe just sack him would be a big enough message
The word, 'flower' is used to replace the other 'f' word, which is not used on TC unless you are happy to be suspended from the site for a while. Personally I don't use it but maybe I am saving it up for a particularly frustrating time.

Thanks Blue sombrero, i will be careful, thanks for the welcome!

As much as I love and respect Rats I think an appointment such as Michael Voss would have supporters more enthusiastic and optimistic. Many people are sceptical but my gut instinct tells me let's do it. Voss will grow with the job and with a good support network I predict big things for this club in years to come.

Well, seeing as he's the owner of a global and multimillion dollar recycling entity, I'm sure he's got something planned for this "garbage".

not quite, you can type in the "f" word but the system automagically replaces it.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

/aw-toh-maj'i-klee/ adv. Automatically, but in a way that, for some reason (typically because it is too complicated, or too ugly, or perhaps even too trivial), the speaker doesn't feel like explaining to you.
