That’s where the AFL made a huge mistake imo - as when the AFL was formed then it should have been a whole new competition and all teams including any of the teams who had been in the VFL at the time should have had to apply to be in the AFL competition - and if you weren’t viable financially...
Why - why not SA or one of the other States - as will be difficult to do considering Freo or WCE play at Optus every alternate week. Would need another Stadium to do that - as if members don’t get their 11 home games I would think membership would drop off as would not be viable with the cost...
Didn’t Jackson do the same thing by choosing Freo over WCE when he left Melbourne - even though at the time would have been a better fit at WCE due to Nic Nat calling it a day. Anyway the rest is history of course and he ended up where he wanted to be.
As from 1994 to 2006 there was a 12 year gap and then 2006 to 2018 another 12 year gap then on that basis it will be 2030 before we can expect to win our next flag lol. Of course there are never any guarantees. Hopefully there will be a huge improvement in our development program going...
Of course every Club should be trying to do deals that best suits them as that goes without saying. Still doesn’t mean the Eagles should just take what Hawthorn are offering due to Tom still having 3 years to run on his contract. Many of your supporters going by their comments are acting as...
Incorrect - it was Barrass who told the Club he wanted to leave to live in Victoria and that Hawthorn was his preferred choice of club - so the club said they would try and appease if the correct deal could be done as he was a required player. Apparently he was offered a slight increase in pay...
Think you may have that wrong as it was reported where Schofield attended the press conference when McQualter was declared the new coach - so would presume Schofield left a day or so after to go overseas for his break.
I always thought to move assistant coaches on they would have to be told by the end of August as if still under contract the new coach’s hands may be tied in what assistant coaches he can bring with. That’s always been my understanding however could be wrong. Not sure what happened in the...
From an opposition supporter tipped you as flag winners from the start of this season as felt it was your time having been thereabouts over the last few years although you had me worried in the early part of the season. Congrats to coaches, players and supporters - well done as your playing...
Shouldn’t it just be the best man for the job no matter where the successful candidate has been assistant - otherwise they’re not doing their due diligence imo.
Most of the media know stuff all as I believe there have been other candidates who have been interviewed which we both the public and media know nothing about. So let’s all just wait n see how it all pans out.
We needed 2 captains this year though what with Oscar being out injured for weeks if not months as my memory escapes me as to how long he was actually on the injured list.
When I heard her speak on the odd occasion she was like a breath of fresh air in comparison to Fitzpatrick. In any event I thought you could only be chair for a max of 4 years or something like that I think, then a new chair has to be elected.
Also had Brisbane kicked a bit straighter then they wouldn’t have been down by 44 points as think at half time GWS had gone through the posts only 2 more times. Just imagine being a Brisbane supporter on a night like tonight lol.
No Geelong thank you - don’t really mind any of the other 3 winning the whole thing, although my tip is Brisbane providing they don’t get the yips like they often do - even tonight they were 4.12 at one stage! I just have this feeling that it’s their year.
Thought Port were lucky to hang on though as it could have quite easily gone the other way. Whichever team lost this would have been considered a but unlucky although always thought experience would show the way at the end of the night.
However Pyke was assistant coach then and I always wondered was he behind us getting into the 2015 GF and didn’t somebody say Hickmott was responsible for the “Web”.
That’s the thing though too many of us get a bit impatient with young players not coming on as how many years has it taken for Waterman to show his worth. Occasionally you get players who shine almost immediately and then there’s others which take time. Can remember thinking Glass wasn’t much...
