Tom Browne is ‘certain’ that one club, ‘possibly’ Carlton, ‘may have’ some interest in a coach from another club that ‘might be’ based in Victoria. It ‘could be’ Clarkson but it ‘might not’ be. ‘Might be’ a $2m per season offer but ‘might be’ more. Or less. ‘Maybe’ Not sure.

Hardwick burnt out, dumps Rich mid season. Zero scrutiny. Six wks after, takes a job at Suns. A year later Dusty retires. 2 wks after that wants to play for, you guess it, the Suns leaving Rich with no compo. Oh, and he’ll take Rioli with him. Dimma’s played them all on a break.

It’s almost impossible to get a Grand Final ticket, let alone get a 2nd one to take your young kid to the ‘once in a lifetime’ event. At least the 2.30pm start allows kids to watch on tv. But no…Gerard says we shouldn’t listen to the fans. The broadcaster is more important.
