Heard the same. Josh is all about Josh the word I’ve heard.....

Clearly haven’t seen him play. Go and take a look at the game he played against us at Marvel this year. Destroyed us and got 3 votes. Would be a great acquisition to a backline that is sub par.

Dogs have Pick 12 & 30. Not sure what Bruce is worth.... maybe something in-between? Not worth 12, same time worth more than 30. The thinking must be around Ben King and setting up for a crack next year. Cash in chips this year with Bruce. Then the forward line shapes with Max, Ben and Membrey. ...

This rumour has gone quite?!

Sounds like Bulldogs leading the race. Shame as our backline would be much stronger with another strong intercept defender. He tore us up during the year.

He was All Australian Under 18 - Centre Half Forward

I dont like that deal for Hill. we are giving up too much The better scenario Swap pick 5 for say 13 - 28 - find a club with picks around this mark Give Freo pick 13 for Hill Give Swans pick 28 for Z Jones Then Trade Acres for another pick say between 20-30 - that gives us 2nd round pick Then Trade ...

Presser this morning

Assume something is holding this decision up.....IF it was straight Ratten, my guess we may have announced by now? Could it be a Mitchell or Harvey with Ratten as Director of Coaching - Sexton gone, Ratten gets a 4-5 year gig with added responsibilities.... Have a two prong coaching approach; spread...

Crawford referred to Mitchell for tearing apart West Coast game plan on the weekend; in a game WC ahead to win!!! He said he is the closest thing he has seen to Clarkson. Hard, tactical and has the drive. When was the last time we saw our coach win a game due to tactical nous? You go back to Lyon da...

Ratten - Director of Coaching / elevate position with Sam Mitchell as Head Coach. That would work for me.

Get Alex Keith from Adelaide. Out of contact and destroyed us mid year. Would be half Carlisle cost....

What a disgraceful finish to year. Beaten by bottom sides.

Amongst the dribble talk .. does anyone actually know where this sits ???

From what I recall he has a contract next year. Therefore needs to make a call as to whether to have one last crack or walk away.....

Agree with post above that talks about what has really changed under Ratten. 1. yes definitely handles press better 2. THe biggest recurring issue is the delivery from wing to CHF and then from CHF to full forward. I reckon there was 15 times against Freo where we butchered or bombed the ball. We mi...

Only cost us $800k a year. It’s only money ... throw in Hanners and there goes $1.6m.

Ratten - made some blues tonight.

- no tag on Laird first half
- McKenzie on Betts
- played Brown and Carlisle

First serious test and fail.

Tag Laird !!!!!

GET McKenzie off Betts !!!!! FFFS

You would think he will play Newnes role and sit on Laird.

So far so good. Love how he is going about it.

The real test is Saturday night in Adelaide. We all know our record in Adelaide is horrible.

A 50 point blow out ... the norm; and we back peddle.

Win or get very close and his stakes rise rapidly. No PPT required!!!!

Suspicious of a late change to bring Battle in... would love to see him play 3rd forward.

Loved the way he had Membrey and Bruce as last line forwards with space behind them. This was the biggest move for mine. It meant we had crumbers in front then space behind to run into. It also meant when we bombered it in there wasn’t 8 players in the area.

Would you take that combination ? I would.

Last 3 premiership coaches under Clarkson. Super positive endorsement by Shane Crawford. Did wonders with Eagles midfield. Hard working, did it hard way as a rookie.

Ratten to remain as Senior assistant.

Go the half empty glass Leigh Saint !!!

I suppose Bassat and football knowledge is in same basket as Fox. I’d imagine that why his brother is on AFL commission... knows nothing. I trust your judgement.
