The Cotchins would NOT be a happy family right now. I can assure you.

People are carrying on like someone took money off them.
Biggest non story of the year.

Has anyone thought that Buckley did what he did on purpose?
Mark McGowan can't stand AFL.
He calls Gilligan and tells him to clear out of WA.
'Your clowns have broken protocols i set, now get out"
The Hubs are all moved back to QLD.
Wc start sooking again.
McGuire and Buckley now have a easier passage to a flag.
As we struggle to beat Collingwood.
Collingwoods current bogey side is WC.
Collingwood wouldn't fear playing us. And especially not port or Brisbane.

Gil realised he'd actually sacked the wrong bloke when Kane C appeared on the website this morning.
Poor Mitch was just collateral damage.
I think the proof is that when Jack came out and said the initial comments about not being keen on the hub proves my point pretty well, ala where this thread all started.
Legend's brutal response to reluctant hub players
'You're going to be remembered for what you do'

Liam Stocker -oif course no once really cared. he has played 5 pretty *smile* games in his whole career. he was not close to starting 22, even for Carlton.
Nathan Brown? You mean the bloke who just retired from AFL 5 days ago & penned a heartbreaking article to announce it stating "I have abandoned by brothers"?
The pressure to be here was on, clearly, on him. The guilt was all over his departing letter
'I’ve deserted my brothers': Veteran pens heartbreaking retirement letter
The 184-game player delivered a stirring message to St Kilda teammates after he was forced to leave the Queensland hub.

If Tom Lynch &Marlon Pickett both chose to stay home for "family", i doubt anyone would have been too empathetic. I can pretty much guess the words "Big Contract" & " Free ticket to a Grand Final" would have been muttered, along with "soft"
awww, look at you all smiles and giggles again because you got a lil apology from Brooke. Go you, sweet cheeks xxx
Doesn't it make you feel better?
Wow! Move on people. There are far worse things happening in life.
A mistake was made, they paid the penalty and publicly apologised. Stop flogging a dead horse.

You just need to read this very thread from the beggining to see the majority here were sympathic and accepting of any player that wanted to remain in Melbourne, and that was before Sheds and Houli's decisions were announced. Your reading of the supporters is inacurate
To be honest, I doubt anyone at the club reads this forum, and even if they do, it wouldn't get back to the players.
We didn't feed the bear, we left some food out but the bear had f***ed off a few hours earlier.
The culture will live on because the club knows this was a stuff up, moved on a week ago, and are likely bewildered by how long the story has lasted.
I'm more worried about a 4 day break followed by travel to Adelaide, that is going to be a challenge. At least we have 9 days off following the Port game.

You would be surprised. It doesn't have to be anyone at the club. These players have wives, family, nephews, friends, former class mates etc. And they all have social media galore - its very easy to take a screen shot and send it to a mate.
The sentiment of our supporters here generally reflects to the same as at Bigfooty as well - we all know the jorno's definitely read that one. The comments on facebook pages also tends to reflect in a similar fashion & if anything - the worst aspects tend to be a LOT worse at both those other platforms. Then you have SEN etc.
Do not underestimate how much these platforms would be getting looked at - especially in a year with no crowds and open training sessions. These people care what people think - its a big reason why mental health issues have sky rocketed in our league in recent years. These are the kids of the social media age - they are all Y-genners & Millennials. They are not old, archaic men like us.
Reality is Punt Road End generally holds the best attitudes & opinions regarding the club of all the platforms. The behaviour and support for the club is at its best, right here. If there is a stench here, you can almost know with 100% certainty - its consistently worse elsewhere.
I don't really care when people get harsh on the players for playing *smile* - or if they have gone out and got on the *smile* and done something stupid. But its poor form to attack their family, no matter what aspect you think you have a right to. You really don't & once it goes down that road - it can really impact their relationships. We saw this with Rance & if you don't make this an environment for the players to feel safe for their family - they will leave.
It took 35 years to fix the culture of this club & its supporters - lets not get ahead of ourselves. We are the defending premier, stay classy

Tom Morris on Fox says Richmond pulled the mental health card in an attempt to get him to take down Brooke Cotchin’s pic of the day spa.
