Agree 100%
Shaw obviously had the shits on that day with him


Either that or he's got a f*cking good sense of humour!

Is it Odd Blakey leaving Sydney to join Nth Melb as a senior assistant, Find it strange he would leave the swans and his very good mate Longmire to go back to that Rabble.

Maybe he felt he’s done what he can at Sydney. Maybe he felt he’d like to help with the rebuild at the club he played 224 games & is a two time premiership player at. Maybe he wanted to reunite with Shaw who he was an assistant with for years at Sydney.

Did not see this on TV.

Caroline Wilson suggests there is potential "carnage" at North Melbourne, believing that influential club great and current board member Glenn Archer is having a significant say in their off-season movements.

The club is currently re-shaping their playing and coaching ranks after a disappointing season, delisting 11 players and publicly putting star forward Ben Brown up for trade.

They also parted ways with several assistant coaches and brought back dual premiership player and former Sydney Swans assistant John Blakey to work under current senior coach Rhyce Shaw.

Wilson has now revealed that there’s angst internally around CEO Ben Amarfio and football boss Brady Rawlings’ roles at the club.

She said that Archer was currently overseeing football operations at the club, potentially undermining both Rawlings and Amarfio.

“It just feels like it’s carnage at that football club,” she said on Channel 9’s Footy Classified.

“I want to focus on two big off-field personnel – (firstly) Ben Amarfio who is the CEO. The previous CEO Carl Dilena was removed because they wanted someone with football and cultural smarts.

“There’s increasing disenchantment that Ben Amarfio never went up to the hub to oversee what was going on with players clearly in disarray, a rookie coach and football manager.

“Then you’ve got Brady Rawlings, urged by West Coast (last year) not to leave and finish his contract there. Their experienced CEO in Trevor Nisbett said he was not quite ready.

“I understand he put his latest plan to the board not so long ago and I’m not sure any of it was listened to.

“The last coaches to get the flick were Jarred Moore, Heath Scotland and his brother Jade Rawlings, their view was that they were not let go by Brady Rawlings and this was all done by the board and Glenn Archer.

“Archer is clearly running that football club on every football level and I’m not sure that is healthy.”

Archer returned to the club’s board this year, just a year after stepping down from his role as football director due to increased business commitments elsewhere.

“Last week a group of the patrons got together for their annual meeting. Huge disenchantment with Ben Buckley, the Sydney based chairman and former CEO of soccer. Then you’ve got Greg Miller, Mark Dawson and Francis Trainor, three well-known former North people about talking about wanting to get on the board and having some say, they are so worried about their football club.

“There is a view that they are one foot away from seven games a year in Tasmania, maybe more. I think there is more to come at the Kangaroos.

A couple of mates in Melbourne who follow North have held the view for many years that she sinks the boot into us clearly more than any other club. I used to think they were overreacting but the last few years I’ve really noticed it. Her relevance diminishes by the week.

She does, but I don't reckon she makes everything up, there's substance to some of what she says and if they keep giving her ammunition.
