Carlton vs Brisbane Practice Match

[Baggers]

Somewhat like Pagan, MM arrived (courtesy of his CEO buddy) and found himself in the middle of a mess. Very ordinary list (to be generous), divided Board, cr@p recruiting and development and his CEO mate on thin ice. Although his motives for taking the gig would be questionable (prove something to others) I'm sure that when he found himself in the rooms with the players all that was forgotten and he found what was needed for the players. Testament to his relationship with the players was how much most liked him. There were a few sooks who didn't like his ways but you always get them, with anyone.

Like many, I didn't like his crotchety attitude to the media but with MM it really is a big dose of 'love me love my dog.' I actually see MMs failure as a whole club failure, in many ways on many levels.

The Trigg/MLG/Liddle era has at least united the good ship PP on an agreed course. If that course is indeed correct, we should start reaping obvious benefits, on field, very soon... he writes, fingers crossed, staring at the heavens...
