Agreed, but further to that is that as there is no set definition of what constitutes the GOAT, people will make their own determination and through their own eyes & biases.
I reckon Dusty is because he won big games off his own boot. Won every major medal except Coleman. I’m also biased...
I'm happy with no brainer sliders. Better than reaching for Conca, Ellis, Lennnon, CCJ, Dow etc where we "knew better" than everyone else.
These days clubs should not F**k up 1st rounders with the amount of information, research and $$ spent in recruitment.
Yet we have.
Just give me the next...
Look, its a practice match against a good side, so don’t expect too much, but thoughts so far
Gawn is killing it in the ruck. Samson not really competing is disappointing
Viney regularly breaking multiple tackles and getting clear not good
our options and execution so far been below standard...
Yep. I think Vlas, Rioli and even Broad are very good decision makers in the back half of the ground and have the skills to execute as well. Noah is fine for a long clear the area kick, but him, Grimes and Young should not be part of the plan to transition from defense (perhaps Noah can play...
The issue we had was who was the kicker. If a poor kick (say Astbury or Grimes) took the kick in but kicked to Shorty 15-20 m away, Short could run on another 10 and kick 60 to options on the wing or cental. That worked.
The problem came when the better kicks (Short / Vlastin) would take the...
I’ve seen the games Sonsie has played and he was clearly at the level year 1 and below the level year 2.
This was likely a combination of getting ahead of himself, injury during preseason, 2nd year blues and the team not playing so well.
Anyone writing him off after a poor 2023 as a 19 /20...
Biggie is an unrestricted FA but I'm fairly sure they still allocate compo for these movements. And the North compo for McKay could be impacted if they lose a FA and then pick another one up, so its probably in their best interests to trade a 4th rounder for him rather than pick him up as a FA...
Swans were decimated with defenders last year and still didn’t play Gould.
Then delisted him without the chance to trade and get something for him.
that should say it all - Wide Pass. Thanks
Some blokes just don’t step up from 18’s to AFL. This bloke is one of them.
Who gives a f***?
opinions are like arseh@les - we’ve all got one.
how many people picked the pies to go from 17th to top 4 last year or GWS to do so well or cats to drop from 1st to 12th? Point is no one knows and we can all have a view, but doesn’t mean anything at all.
We could finish...
Yze was on radio this morning pretty much confirmed Mini is leaving and that they are working on other coaches this week.
Was a good interview with Daniel Harford on RSN Sport 927. Better than Lyon & Watson making the interview about themselves.
Id share the link if I wasnt I.T challenged but...
Grigg was a development coach for 2 years (entry level coaching role) and assistant for 2 years. Never coached his own team, had minimal experience coaching different lines and been at an a club with experienced players that virtually coach themselves.
If his name wasn't Grigg, no-one would be...
All clubs get a day off early in the week. My guess is that if Yze is appointed, it would be agreed with him & the Dee's that on his day off we would make the announcement, press conference's, radio & TV shows then back to work the next day. We would only get access to him after the cheese...
True.
Imagine finishing a season 13th & finishing the season with a 100 + point smashing then adding a couple of fringe players. Say for example a ruck an who couldn’t get a game for his team, a mid-forward who didnt have a real position & already a 2 club player and an injury prone undersized...
So has Ceglar at the Cattery. And Stanley is 33 and shit.
Clearly Grundy would be the first choice ruckman available, but if the Dees want a 1st rounder for him, I reckon Soldo would be the next best option for clubs (Swans, cats, Port) only willing to part with a 2nd rounder.
I’d take that...
I've decided that we can stop the process now and appoint Newy.
He's already coached his own team - Box Hill to the VFL flag
Been awarded assistant coach of the year
Coached all lines for the Hawks
Been part of the process to regenerate the hawks team
Hawks looking good from a game plan...
Much as Cotch has been a champion of our club and led the change to see us become a dynasty team, its Jack that has created the excitement and got us off of our seats cheering. Lets face it, we appreciate a Cotch smother or tackle but that's not really football sexy.
The high flying full...
The first question to be asked to a prospective coach is if we are 8 goals down & the oppo best player is torching us yet again, will you
a) put a tagger on him
b) continue to trust out process
c) sub a small forward in
d) put a few dollars on him for the brownlow.
any answer other than a) end...
I’ve been a huge fan of Dylan over his career. He’s played on talls & smalls, been an excellent intercept marker and solid decision maker with ball in hand.
But he’s not the player he was. Really poor kick, can no longer mark the ball and is actually not providing the team with any assets at the...
Ok my changes this week.
Outs
Nank, Bauer, Cotch (managed)
In
Ross, Brown, Ryan (i wouldnt have him as 1st ruck against the better ruckmen, but Eagles dont have a dominant ruck).
sub- Sonsie
lucky - Marlion has been poor for a while now but they’ll play him.
After your love affair with Boyd Woodcock, I'd be inclined to keep my opinion to myself Pomsta. At least The Chad has made the AA team twice - Woodcock is playing in rugby country.
