Plenty of trade discussion going elsewhere - Threads on Gresham, Shiel, etc. but no general trade discussion thread. Currently we hold: Picks 12, 32, 51 The media has thrown the idea out there for a Clayton Oliver trade, and has stated "no clubs have shown interest, Oliver hasn't shown interes...

In Saturday's Herald Sun there was also a lengthy article quoting Jordan Lewis on coaching in the AFL, drawing on his experience as player with two clubs and his position on the committee that selected Brad Scott to coach Essendon. I found the following excerpt an especially interesting insight int...

Spud killing himself and leaving behind 3 daughters and a wife ....what is wrong with this club...blows my mind we even go there ..there is no benefit to this .does not raise awareness just brings everyone down because of a selfish f****** act on spuds behalf I thought this place couldn’t get any l...

The Pies have a v.good well drilled midfield, but the Lions took them out of the clearances with a simple tactic. The Big O did a Clark Keating and punched the taps forward outside the usual drop zone. Worked well.

No one seemed to pick up on this

“….Ultimately, we’d love the next coach, whenever that is, to come out of the group that is here.’’

Thanks for that, there’s some good quotes in there.

*doubled up….but still a load of s***

What a load of shite….just fricken corporate dribble.

Sounds like there’s been poor leadership at the club but unfortunately the coach was always going to be the scape.

David Noble and Glenn Luff were involved?…we’re they sacked from the bottom team earlier this year?

Luxury tax.

Maybe we’ve found a loophole?

We pay the luxury tax for going over the soft cap and then they give it back to us as part of the equalisation fund.

If we get Hird that’ll be it for me for good.

The verbatim reporting of allegations/stories from one side in an extract from a third party report does not provide balance. Particularly given the shock/horror slant the ABC is giving. The stories/scenarios outlined could easily be depicted completely differently by an objective assessment of pla...

He has flaws in his technique, hopefully it’s not too late to correct them. He’s had them since the Nab League. But when you’re a young superstar no one will tell you that there’s an issue, largely because these kids have never been given any negative constructive criticism their whole junior career...

Can’t it be both?

Is this a joke thread?

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet. But after 9 games both King and Sharman have/had kicked 13 goals.

While the buck always stops with Head Coach, there’s a couple of questions that need answering before imo you can question someones ability to coach and their game plan. Firstly, which is usually the hardest question to answer, do we currently have the cattle to contend against a side like Brisbane?...

It’s a must win game. And percentage may decide the top 4.

Going into the bye in the top 4 if we win and Melbourne remain undefeated is really important imo.

All that said if Ryder needs a rest get Max Heath in.

Billings has been a guaranteed selection in the side for the last 6-7 years. And deservedly so. Maybe being a spectator while injured and playing at Sandy has got back his hunger.

He looked as engaged in the contest as he ever has been on Saturday arvo.

A fit and fired up JB is a big addition.

Here’s every game played there. Nearly all played there after rd.15.

King’s issue is his balancing arm. He lifts it up rather than out. He gets the rest of his action pretty right.

All the elite kicks balancing or guiding arm goes out not up.

It looks like we were out coached…but sometimes the players throw the new game plan out the window when pressure is applied. It’s not intentional, it just happens. If we played the way we wanted to, then we’re in trouble. If we were pressured into some old habits then there’s hope… if they can learn...

Jackson was rucking when the Dees were waltzing out of the front of the centre clearances in the 3rd.

If every game was played in the wet you’d keep him...

His footskills and decision making is not good enough. Was the worst kick of any mid in the comp.
