Carlton Supporters Club

When we got him, the Collingwood physio team were sure he was finally about to get his body right again. I don't have many connections in the football world but I can speak with authority on this one. Collingwood obviously had their doubts but it wasn't because of his ankle

That is exactly what I have heard, they were not happy that after two years of hard work he looked like he would get back on the track at another club. Do your contacts know anything about an alleged Barney Rubble that occurred at the Lexus Center around that time. It's alleged a confrontation about Daisy's departure resulted in a locker door being ripped off it hinges and the contents of the locker being tossed out onto the bitumen at the rear entrance. Very mature behaviour!

Sorry, not doubting your contacts and the info above is in fact from Jofo claiming to have inside info as well. Hard to know what to believe but also hard to comprehend that he could be so broken and no one would realise.

Given its a medical team offering advice,  it's possible that they didn't agree on the outcomes.

Yes, and there are a lot of people who are non-committal and hand out vague assessments only to claim the high ground in hindsight, Doctors are not excluded.

But the real doubt is that we know the board was divided on Malthouse, split vote to get rid of Ratten, yet we would have to accept those who were unhappy did not leak the fact that Daisy was recruited against the club doctors medical advice. It's just very difficult to accept that was the case given our history of club leaks!

Not if the bloke who was leaking the info was the bloke who got Daisy over.

The removal of Ratten was a split vote from the biggest board in the AFL, it wasn't a single voter and I'd assert not a single source of leaks.

You can't really draw any conclusion from that though.

Does anyone really think that adding Daisy to our list, paying him around $700,000 per season and giving him a four year contract with an option for a fifth year was a good decision?

Spin it any way you like but it really was one of the two most inexplicable decisions our club has made in the last decade.

I was hoping to see a rejuvenated Daisy this season - and I don't doubt his efforts - but I'm afraid his body just isn't capable of performing at AFL level.

I repeat this question.

You talk like that was a huge moment......Yarran was yet to be a regular so it was no surprise he was dropped.

Your taken the media bait again DJC, who with any authority said he gets $700K, where was that amount first reported?

When he first signed it was touted as a contract worth "up to $2.5M", I am assuming the "up to" part includes the option year.

At the time that was said to have put Daisy's wage in-line with Murphy's who was reported as being on about $550K when he re-signed.

Now with every toe stubbing kick the media keep pumping up Daisy's value, in what appears to be either a case of severe one-upmanship or out of desperation to pull a headline. If he fluffs a handball he could be the newest AFL millionaire before seasons end!   Just a week ago Malph Ralph reported he was on at least $3.5M for the same deal, and "as much as $750K" was reported. So according to the media we have to accept that he is paid 50% more than our captain, or twice what Kreuzer is paid and double what we allegedly refused to pay Betts. It's bogus reporting!

It's designed to tug at your Carlton heart strings and collect ratings and web hits, and you've bitten!
