Re: Interesting selection

Did I call this or what... The new agenda is to prove that Richo wasn’t so bad after all. Apparently after his 6 year tenure, new coach had until the first round of selection on Thursday night post the Monday resignation to prove things could be done better The new coach got the same problems that ...

Re: Hannebury - Indefinite

Hey HM, thank you for your considered response. I did attempt to reply yesterday but somewhere between when I logged back on and hit submit I got banned. I agree with your points on Ratten and think he would be a fine choice. Thought he was pretty decent at Carlton... his results were okay consider...

Re: Skrobolak new Forward coach

Please quote where I mentioned being an expert? I gave an opinion, which you can debate if you want. You started with the name calling, which says a little more about you really... and got personal, nice touch.

Re: Rob Harvey in the running for head coach role

Sounds like Harves knocked you back for an autograph. There really has to be a reason for your angst. Kicking over jam tins, thank god Hawthorn, the Dogs & Geelong didn't use that prerequisite. Mick Nolan could be running (?) out of goal square at the moment and our mids would not even see him,...

Re: Sack the Coach (revisited)

We have a chance to bring someone in as Senior Assistant on big money if we re-jig the assistants contacts and roles. This senior assistant should be told that they will become Senior Coach in 2020 and Richo will become Coaching Director. For 2019 and 2020 they should work together to rebuild the g...

Disagree. Lethers is good for the club. He has brought in a number of good appointments. E.g. the assistants last year We need a bit of mongrel.

I hate Harvey already as a coach. He will be terrible in press conferences and his goal kicking was poor so we will still bomb it into the forward line. Although our bombs should be from within 35m from goal. Maybe ask Plugger how Harves delivered the ball inside 50. Was gonna say that.... CAN SOME...

King is a trick and that’s his schtick because AFL coaching is too hard.

There’s a difference between being contrarian and stupid but stupid sells.
