    Do you have a quota of needing to put down someone on woof every 5 posts or something?

    The sentiment is spot on. The delivery of it, at a function, is extremely poor form. You just don't do that to your own players.

    Exactly. That sort of message is delivered in private. It's self indulgent and unprofessional blurting it into a microphone in public.

    What's he famous for anyway? I dont know much about him. I know he's got a morning show but what's his back story? He looks a bit like a dancer, did he dance? He got famous through Lord of the Dance or that one with the rubbish bin lids didn't he?
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    He's a bean counter by trade.

    Never trust a bean counter. I should know, I am one!
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

    Re: Koch rant at players

    I'm finding the title of this thread hilarious, when ensuring the 'ch' in Koch's name is pronounced with a firm 'ck'.

    Koch ranting takes on additional layers when thought of in this way.

    "I was at the footy, and this guy just started Koch ranting at the players".

    Anyway, back to work.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    In all seriousness, it's not an approach that works for everyone but this is the industry. I'm certain it's not an off the cuff remark and was made with intent - perhaps internal messaging hasn't got the job done so a new approach is required.

    Yes, a Koch rant.
