2013 - Player retirements/delistings/trade discussion

[Q.]

If he wanted to leave Carlton or pushed, why not do it before the drafts in the hope of going somewhere else? I know he played for Norwood but is he originally from S.A?

Maybe it is just injury.

Or maybe, just maybe, another run in with Mick (possibly following the outlining of his plans for Duigan next season).

I dunno, is that the sort of scuttlebutt you're suggesting, Q?

Something along those lines.

Originally from SA, played for Walkerville

The Suns have sacked Brown

[Coach Bombay]

Good. Should be put in jail too. A single punch to the head can kill someone. There are very few excuses for hitting people, especially a team mate.

Time to grow up Brown

[bennymacca]

given duigan went from being talked up as a possible captain, to mick coming and him getting 5 games, and then finally coming in in a final and dominating, its not hard to read between the lines and see that he doesnt like mick.

i think the him getting told he wont be playing is a good theory

[Squids]

Just saw this, what the hell. Nice timing you jerk.

[gadj1976]

Duigan's retirement is part of Mick's cunning plan to promote Wood!

[gadj1976]

Nick Duigan set to retire. His body is done and will not make it through preseason.

Something fishy going on here.

Elaborate...

Lets just say Nick was having a few frothies after the SANFL GF with a few of the lads and described Mick as a c**t and several other comments were made.

Good, I think the same of Mick too.

Incredible. A player who isn't rated by his coach and not given any game time calls his coach a c**t! I bet that's the first time in the history of sport that anything like that has happened

You a little bit slow on the uptake "ruben"? Did you see the elim final v Richmond? He was the difference.
This bloke was a regular before Malthouse arrived. He was easily in carlton's best 21 but has obviously had a personality clash with the coach (who matches Sheedy as the 2 biggest megalomaniacs the game has seen).
Carlton will continue to go nowhere with him as coach.

[Q.]

Wonder if Duigan requested a trade at the end of the year?

Sick of reading your negative shit !
Either support the club and the people they have put in place to be successful or piss off elsewhere ........

Typical north small club inferiority syndrome

[Spargo]

I'd have a bet with you squids on who will finish higher next season out of North/Carlton but we both know you will softcock out of it like previously.

Turbo, I think the word you're looking for is C O M P L E X, not syndrome champ

[bennymacca]

For the record, I think malthouse is awesome. Hearing him talk to cornsey and rowey when he wasn't a coach was awesome.

I'm a Malthouse fan too. Knowing Duigs personally I can also say he's a ripper ladl.

My guess would be two people who are very strong in their philosophies which are probably very different as one is an old school type and the other a Gen Y.

As per Ruben's post, not the first time a player and coach haven't gotten along and won't be the last.

[Coach Bombay]

Doesn't take a genius to work out that mick is a **** of a thing

Nah syndrome. It is what it is.
