Kouta met with Denis on numerous occasions.
Denis new exactly how Kouta and the playing group felt.
Bang on all you like about how Kouta is evil for Carlton. The board, Denis, the players and supporters all knew what was going on.
So many flower hypocrits on this site bagged Denis mercilessly over a long period. Now someone who earned shitloads of $ playing for our club calls it as it was and you bag him too - pure jealousy - he earnt too much therefore he deserves derision
I wonder what Ratts thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?
I wonder what Greg Williams thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?
I wonder what Michael Sexton thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?
I wonder what Fraser Brown thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?
Actually, I know what these guys think. And they know what many of our list over the past 5 years thought also.
Quick, there's a chance to bag a Carlton player - jump on board it's great fun. As you do, forget all the things you said about the past 5 years - none of it matters - you can log on - slag off a player for saying what so many have already said and feel good about yourself. It doesn't matter, you are hiding behind a keyboard.
Kouta is such a turd for calling it as it was
Obviously we would have been better off keeping Denis and ploughing on.
Go Blues.
I think you might be missing the point that many have made Ockham. I don't know what any of Ratten, Williams, Sexton or Brown feel about Pagan because none of them made a media song and dance about it in order to line their pockets.
It was an unnecessary act. No-one's denying his right to do it but that doesn't mean that many of us are happy about it.
The club's done amazingly well to put the last five years behind it this year and Kouta releasing his book is just dredging it all up again.
We've had a good run of positive stories lately and now this. If it was of some benefit to the club (wanna donate the proceeds Kouta?) then fine but the only person who is benefitting from this is Anthony Koutoufides and it's an event that has once again allowed the rest of the football world to focus on the dysfunctional nature of the club's recent history.
That's not leadership - it's self-interest.
Defend him all you like - it's just a shame that he couldn't bring himself to ride off into the sunset quietly as others have done and be remembered for his football rather than this.
