Cunnington up to $15,500 in fines this year, surely you cop a week for the next stupid / cheap shot you do?

Yep, he’ll go for sure next time if he’s silly enough to do it again.

Why didn't he go to his right at the bloke with the ball instead of his left to the blokes balls?

Higgins, Daw, Garner, Jacobs, Vickers-Willis all missing from our best 22
Also Macmillan, Walker, Scott, Hayden, Crocker & Wright in the VFL...

Hasn’t your VFL side been a basket case all year though?

VFL results are irrelevant here (although they did win by 10 goals on the weekend - what a difference finally having a home ground makes)
The first 5 named above are out injured/suspended as are Walker, Scott & Hayden (also injured).

Scott Thompson with a ruptured testicle apparently [emoji1785][emoji1785]

How do you pass a "fitness test" for that?

Apparently he did the damage half way through the 3rd quarter and still managed to play oit the game. Fair effort.

I believe Mrs Thompson will manage that.

His $600k + Scott's $800k makes him an expensive rookie!

Surely Scott ends up at St Kilda though.

I think Ratten will get it, seems ready to go back into a senior role.

I want him to have another crack at Carlton, I want to see the Carlton that we grew up with, well something semi close.

[amber_fluid]

I hope Ratten gets it but it just seems a 3 way deal was done already.
Surely North aren’t that silly and can pay both contracts next year?

I’ve been told we’re not paying Scott the $800k being bandied about.
An agreement of sorts was made when he departed.

[MW]

He would not resign without a full payout,. Why would he.

Exactly.
Unless he was guaranteed the same coin elsewhere.

[PatowalongaPirate]

Because he didn't want to coach them anymore.

[Dutchy]

Great news, been a long time since we made a mistake with appointing a head coach.

If we need to payout Scott so be it, we are in a pleasing position these days where it won't knock us around or have to borrow to do it. Also need to offset against what it would cost if we kept him on.

I'd do a lot worse than coach NM for $800k even if I didn't want too
