I can understand SOS being upset with certain prominent figures at the club when he left.
I struggle to understand his ill feeling to the entity that is the club.
Those he had issues with have pretty much departed.
There must be a couple there he continues to harbour some pretty intense problems with.
I doubt we'll here him speak.
Ben's thoughts probably reflect his anyway.
But it certainly hasn't gone down well with Carlton folk.

Sad. But when you're a person given to grudge holding and bitterness... well, we can see what happens. As the old saying goes, 'bitterness toward another is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick...'

If Jack is fine with it then what's the big deal? It's a game of footy not a wedding.
We sacked him because our CEO said he was going to sabotage the club. Who here would go back to their workplace after that?

If the CEO is no longer there you'd be back in a heartbeat....
If you wanted to.
But SOS was always planning to leave.
His departure was just fast-tracked.
...and that was probably a reasonable thing.
If a bloke is going to leave you may as well cut the ties and get the new structure established.

For much of the game they quite reasonable. But the way Grimes, in particular, and the Richmond defence as a unit, held and scragged our forwards without being penalized was beyond me. I recall Charlie being held in a headlock in one confrontation on the wing (which I think H marked anyway). That is something that really needs to be addressed.
Woeful umpiring !!
Mind you, we also need to give Charlie a chance. We delivered the ball incredibly poorly to our forwards all night. Never once did we open the forward line and give a forward a chance to lead towards the ball. Some of that was because we won so few centre clearances; Richmond was usually given time to match up on our forwards. But, until we have our ruck combination right, that is gong to be elusive.

Did not touch the footy after half time. Nothing.
Martin is even worse imo. The bloke jogs around at half pace and shows no desire to get out of first gear.
Both of these guys are teasers.
If we are going to make the leap up we can’t accept consistent below par performances regardless of their potential or highlight reel cameos they pull out every now and then.
Prefer to see blokes like kemp honey given more chances.

The coaching panel might say that the game didn't suit him, I'd question that (if it were the case). At best he's a cameo small forward and as a midfielding his size is against him. Goes missing for long periods far too often. I'd give someone else a go in his role.
