I tipped GWS to win but I was regretting it at half time, great comeback in the 2nd half especially with all their injuries.

Early days but Kingsley looks like he could be a good coach for them, they were getting stale with Leon Cameron there for so long.

At half time I had him pegged as good as graham gellie.

It's the sign of a good coach when they can make changes at half time and turn the match around like GWS did in the 2nd half.

Kingsley was quite highly rated as an assistant coach although we weren't much chop when he was an assistant with us so I had my doubts about him.

Cmack looking very good for the Hawks.

I have no idea who is a good assistant coach. It seems if the side is no good then the assistants aren’t either.

Well he does work for them. Loyalty last as long as my pay packet.

That was… tough to see.

Yuck.

more run in the middle. It’s not always possessions. Look at Taranto Friday. Heaps of possessions but no real impact. I can see the same happening to a couple of our mids who can’t play elsewhere if windhanger and owens show heaps this year.

Toby is actually a good guy off the grog and considering how ****ed his dad is he has done ok. Just stupid things when drinking. Some real stupid things.

None of the on field stuff bothers me. This one is the one the media always forgets when they discuss his “white line fever”

The one I can’t really forgive since it was just him bashing some civilian just trying to work

Yep that was the really stupid thing. My daughters friend was there then. No good.

I actually find his on field stuff is actually overblown and this one under mentioned. I don’t think he’s a villain but probably just an average bloke. Plenty of on field thugs who are the complete opposite off field

I have done a lot of stupid sh/t , so I would always give the guy that has few crazy things a fair go.
In the past a lot of players did a lot of stupid stuff - I remember - different sport mind you , but Mike Geyer when he was playing for the Western Reds broke a guy leg in a might at a night club , but hardly was brought up in the media - where a guy like Green makes headlines every time , the same with DeGoey.

You are right there , it doesn't matter how much they get it - it's what they do with it.

A big part of it is building a culture. Sydney were there until pretty much Paul Roos came along and created a persona and a club environment that people wanted to be part of. Now they are one of the best and probably close to the Storm for best run club in the country.

That's EXACTLY what I'm hoping Ross will instill at St Kilda. Premiership should be a reflection of that culture.

I totally agree with him when he says "Results are just feedback".

 

[CaptainRisky]

Doubt we will be seeing Roo back in Australia anytime soon

No idea what that post is supposed to be about but if you follow deadshit footy content on insta then I guess you get what you pay for

 

[pebblesofsand]

2 weeks for Pickett is a joke.

His actions were intentional, the potential for injury because of the nature of the action were extreme.

AFL should appeal and send it to the tribunal and request 4 weeks.

If you use your eyes it becomes clear that they have run Miles Bergman in place of JHF on the back page.

Also, instagram is free.

Ah right, I don't know random port players apparently.

Also, instagram is free.

...that was my point.

Pretty easy measurement: if both feet are off the ground, penalty increases.

It could definitely be us that make a huge leap. It happens and often from nowhere. My Richmond mate bagged the club, their list, Hardwick....then all of a sudden they were winning their third premiership. Melbourne were there too, Brisbane.... Just have to hope we get our suck of the bottle.

Feels like we have been poorly coached for over a decade. Richmond had a heap of GOPs that looked way better within the Tigers structure. Hardwick is a gun.

Maybe we have a few players on our list that will be far better with a structured game plan.

Lyon made Clinton Jones look like a gun ffs. Confident there are a few on our list that may surprise us.
