I didn’t say Monty.

Hoping for Dew

Just on this - Hawthorn also a very young side, with similar ball movement and flair to the best sides - almost made a prelim

Did they over-perform? Maybe, but especially without a midfield superstar, it shows the benefits of moving the ball on aggressively, no matter the list profile

Hawthorns back six was stacked for experience and class. Quite underrated. They then had enough quality of n their midfield and quick, ducking talented forward line.
But it’s their back half. Settles experienced and good

I replied to Jeffcrows matching rumour re bartel. Joking but really hope he is the connection (he replied saying he wasn’t talking about Montgomery too but left the following post re bartel comment to go through to the keeper…)

 

[FR0GGY]

Full Monty and cumming in the same period what an x rated off season

 

[Crow till I die]

Ohhh goodey goodey, we are getting close to page 119

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Might there be 1-2 of our contracted players getting traded or even paid out?

Smith the obvious one
Pedlar for Peatling?

 

[Tex Danger]

Why? .....I've heard nothing to suggest Bartel want to take up Coaching .....he's been more at Director level of GWS

He said when leaving that he wanted/was open to other roles in footy

Don’t expect him in coaching but can see him in a head of footy type role (taking his footy director board experience to a paid role)

Lets hold fire on HAW till next year .....they were getting lambasted in the first 6-8 games .....playing shyte

Amazing what a good run of injuries can do, and a head of steam confidence wise.....next year though, they'll be hunted, and IMO they can't play any better .....over-performed

 

[Danger in Texas]

F2 for Peatling and pick 42 for Neal-Bullen

Ideal, but an element of goodwill makes me think it’d be somewhere in the 2nd round for ANB either way

Obviously the preference would be late in the second round, but if we manage to land all three targets, we’ll only have the space to draft 4 + Welsh (unless we pay someone out, which we know isn’t happening, or trade a contracted player, which is possible, but unlikely at this point)

It’d be a much less than ideal trade in isolation, but altogether I’d give it the green light

 

[Tex Danger]

Hoping for Dew

Dew senior Assistant
Bartel the pearling influencing factor (taking Kelly’s job)

That’s the dream

 

[The Karma Bus]

Coaches get too much credit for success and too much blame for failure.

You can go through coaches as some clubs do and go nowhere if other parts are no good.

Some change coaches and get what they were after, as the rest of the club was generally good.

Hardwick, Lyon etc etc don't lie when they say they're a part of the big machine that's needed to make an elite club go around.

I know of some ex-AFC players who felt the attitude and culture behind the scenes there years ago held the place back. Some left due to it.
I'm a big believer in the whole of club, the small people even behind the scenes makes the place be special in varied ways and contributes to the journey and where you end up.

I don’t think Bartel either.

I think the competition will continue to be tight in 2025 - the gap is closing between teams and so much comes down to health of your squad in particular key players, and if your able to get onto a bit of a roll…..

That’s why we are seeing mixed results and the fortunes of teams changing quickly.

It’s going to continue to be such an open competition

peatling and perryman?

 

[George Kramer]

Come on Wayne have some self respect and show us on Google that nicks is responsible for GWS making grand final.
It can’t be that hard surely?

Hey, wait in line, I’m still waiting for his shape definition.

It’s Wayne’s style though, posts shit, gets challenged, slinks away.

 

[jenny61_99]

why didn’t you just cut and paste Jeffcrows post

I have not read much since I posted. I’ll have a read through.

That will lift my spirits this pre season

 

[FR0GGY]

I don’t mind beefing up the coaching box as long as a few get punted.

Heard yesterday that GWS will ask Himmelberg to do a medical this week before tabling an offer
