To me we are breaking down in our structures and that's a coaching thing not a player fault. He's someone that I want to succeed but having watched Essendon idolise Hird because of his playing career I don't want to see Collingwood do the same with Buckley albeit for very different reasons. I...

If you cherry pick failings and ignore success, which is psychologically the easiest option, then it's reasonable to conclude things are going poorly. I disagree with the Malthouse call and take a different view. I believe that it forced him to play for the now and win a premiership that had...

That's not what I said. I agree that change can be a good thing if done for the right reasons. Change is only ever made with the intention to make things better. No one has ever sought about making change to worsen a situation. What I do say, and I said earlier that you may have missed what I...

No you didn't though. You made up that he was skiing with his kids. I could make stuff up too and say there was an urgent family matter on that night. I'm all for guys like him being on the board. He may have money, money that he inherited, but if you aren't a good businessman you lose money...

Don't know him so can't pass that on. Any football club is a business these days. We have four competitive sides, would employ over 200 people, 70,000+ members, hundreds of thousands of supporters and turnover close to $100 million in revenue each year. I don't know about you but that seems like...

That's crap. Complete crap. If you judge board performance by attendance then you're just proving you are unable to make reasonable comment on the matter. There are many boards of large companies and sporting clubs who seek specific expertise on the board. If that means they get the right type...

I have only read half of the first page but it's annoying me already so I can't read on. "I pay my taxes" is a comment that annoys me more than almost any other. Everyone pays taxes, it comes out of your pay before you receive it. What he, and Visy for that matter do, is write off losses to...

Also talk that the Rookie list may be abolished before the start of the season so it could be that all rookie list players upgrade to senior list. I get why the AFLPA don't want it and they complain about the reduced pay and playing restrictions but it does allow clubs to take a bigger gamble...

Keefe?

Delisted free agency is still open.

I don't think you can underestimate how much and how quickly things change in AFL. Don't worry, just saw it was Perth radio.

Who did?

The funny thing is Barrett could be reading this saying the same thing. Everyone here is speculating. Love him or hate him Barrett has contacts within the AFL. He broke Mitchell news first. I would take his word over most people on here. I have known facts to have been reported by others on...

I get that but I'm telling to what I know from people who have dealt with him over Darcy. He is over the top and demanding about Darcy and his footy. The most difficult parent they've dealt with, including David Cloke three times.

As I said before, my understanding is they're very similar but Moore may not be as public.

From people who have dealt with a lot of top AFL footballers as juniors they said the worst former AFL parent they have had was Peter Moore. They had dealings with David Cloke too but it was Moore who was overbearing and non stop.

One thing I will say about your offensive forward half structures is you've gone for 'building a wall'. This would get cut open very easily as a straight line of players is easy to run past. If you scattered these players to make more of a zig zag you'd have more success at locking in the...

Don't know where Pies 2017 second round came in but I've updated to reflect the trade with Lions. Can we give away next years second rounder?

Ok I'll challenge you on this, who has been moved on since 2010 that would've won us a flag or helped us finish top 4 since then? You can't compare us to Geelong or Hawthorn because we didn't lose our star like Ablett or Franklin. When they left it stopped an exodus of players squeezed out for...

I counted Grundy as the selection we would've had therefore Broomhead and Kennedy were the traded pick selections. Thought if I put Grundy in then people would say I was looking too favourably on the changes.

did a quick look for the tread that would've linked to Malthouse comments or Conolly's article but couldn't find one so started this. There has been a bit written and spoken about our 2010 dynasty that wasn't. I've had a look at what actually happened to that list and if it really was Buckley...

No wait, 54. If a chicken lays every day and a half then each hen will lay 6 eggs over 9 day. 6x9 = 54

Heard from WA radio Tomlinson wants us. Thoughts?

Watch a replay, consistently poor from hand to foot.

One thing I have noticed is that he seems to have a poor ball drop. If you watch his game from today, the ball doesn't have a smooth transition from hand to foot on most occasions. It may be something that is working but is something that has to be corrected or his footy will suffer. Wouldn't...

For what it's worth I've been doing a bit of work with some guys who do scouting and recruiting and they say give me Daicos over Brown any day of the week. Not my opinion but they know their stuff. They did mention Brown isn't a great disposer of the ball while Daicos is very clean like his dad.

5cm in a week? Wow this kid is growing. If he keeps this up he'll be way taller than Cox by draft time.

How good was his attack at the ball and mark in the third quarter? Keep it up Coxy, defences don't know what to do with you.
