Plenty of people have been sacked over the past couple of years...our
recruiting manager, our football operations manager, the previous board was
overthrown including the president of 20+ years...countless players have
gotten the sack, retired or been traded (Essendon's picked up a few from
us), former players have been moved out of the coaching staff....

You should be worrying about your own club...and you talk of an old boys'
culture at Carlton...how long's Sheedy been there? Mark Harvey's an old boy,
Gary O' Donnell's an old boy...TD would still be on your coaching staff, if
he hadn't decided to leave for more experience too...
