Caroline Wilson has doubled down on her reports that Sam Mitchell isn’t happy about the current state of his coaching succession plan with Alastair Clarkson.
That’s pathetic. You made a ridiculous comment and I politely pointed it out. You then me call me deluded, making some abstract comment about Richmond. I again pointed out why you were wrong and you claim you were choosing to ignore me (aside from being busy) for some other reason. More like you know I was right.
Ultimately it looks like Caro was on the money.
But you keep telling yourself that other people are the f00ls :laughing:
I haven’t been on this site as I have too much going on. Notwithstanding that Richie, I choose to ignore some. “Kite-flying” as Dermot put it, is just taking a punt on a possible outcome. It’s a coin toss that may come down your way. That doesn’t necessaily mean that there was a leak. For example predicting an unlikely winner in a game may happen. It wins over the gullible but it’s guessing not reporting.
Overall the bigger effect is that if there is a blow up over the next 12 months. Clarko is going to remembered for the wrong reasons by both the Hawks supporters & AFL fans. The Hawthorn club don't want to see that happen, and quite frankly, I don't think Clarko does either.
How is this typical Richmond?
I am not defending bad reporting, I am defending common sense. You said the response in the video indicates the reporting is untrue. So every time someone denies something reported in the media, it proves the reporting is untrue? Seriously, that is so naive. The story may or may not be true, but you are deluded if you think a denial by Mitchell proves anything.
That response, is so typically Richmond. (And so deluded)
Its summed up by Dermott Brereton “There is no noise from Hawthorn that this is uncomfortable. It’s all been kite-flying or terribly bad information given to Caroline from somebody. And it’s just got to stop.
“It’s just trashing an organisation for the want to do it. It’s annoying.”
Don't defend bad reporting Richie.
The timeline does not stack up for all the retrospective smoothery? Correct, but so often this been increased by the result of inflated egos & low intelligence. Hopefully for Hawthorn, these two guys are smart enough to play their cards using their intelligence not their egos.
So Caroline Wilson gets the St Kinda story about the players leaving the team wrong, she gets the Hawthorn coaching story wrong but no apology?? How can someone who has never played AFL know the inner working of a club. She is such a hater on the game, wish she would go away, has NO IDEA
Wishing Mitchell well but the timeline does not stack up for all the retrospective smoothery.
So Clarko was gone before Mitchell even went to Collingwood?
Anyway the comment I found interesting is that Mitchell is working on game plans for five years time.
He must have misspoke or I misheard ... that can't be true. If it is what he said and that's how he's planning he's going to need a guitar.
Caroline Wilson seems to be full of inuendo and short on facts.
This response indicated her story was untrue. I find her approach increasingly distateful.

My point is just that. Clarko is proud of his big effects on the game. Which is the bigger effect overall may be a better question.

I would like to think both. I Have never heard refer to him as "his" premierships. Always the club's of the team's premierships.

I don't know if Clarko is more proud of his premierships or his proteges.

The response didn't indicate anything. Mitchell natural denied it, but so what? If you watched the show, Ross Lyon's reaction is the most interesting.
