Do they drive on the same side of the road as us?

I’m not sure. Lived here for over thirty years and I’m still declaring daily “pick a bloody lane!”

Not Nix Kinda guy

 

[baaaallllll]

Do you know which clubs currently are being linked? What sort of draft collateral do they have in comparison to us?

“The Demons, the Western Bulldogs, Collingwood, St Kilda and West Coast have also been in the market for him,” Twomey revealed.”

[Tex Danger]

He’s not (as far as I know)

Thinking about your saying we should hear about an assistant this week makes me wonder if we have a Syd/Bris person incoming.

I didn’t realise that Dew was involved at Brisbane so that’d make him a possibility with that

Probably Montgomery still more likely but just the timing has me thinking

 

[Tex Danger]

Like I said not a foregone conclusion.

Any level of confidence though? Or just we’re having a decent crack?

 

[Tex Danger]

Where did the Bartel noise come from?

It’s not noise, just something some of us would like to see (but know it’s unlikely)

 

[Danger in Texas]

FWIW an ITK Dogs poster on their board seems pretty confident Peatling will land at Whitten Oval

So this might all be excitement for nothing haha

Dew's job was only part-time and only started midseason - he's still not listed as part of their staff list.

He'd be very interesting. He seems like the opposite to Nicks. Not a big "motivational speaker" type, but a bit of a footy savant.

It did seem very left field us linked with Peatling

At least we're in the mix and making a case to him.

 

[George Kramer]

I assumed there was nothing in the Peatling rumours because so many clubs had been linked - but not us.

That being said, the Vic media NEVER know what we're doing and the SA media is mostly hopeless - so I'm really hoping I'm completely wrong and we get him.

What do you mean they NEVER know what we are doing? They told us we were getting ANB

 

[Danger in Texas]

Might have gone for him too late

But at least we've had a crack, by the sounds of things

 

[FR0GGY]

You’re on board now?!!

 

[Amacca 23]

What do you mean they NEVER know what we are doing? They told us we were getting ANB

Probably because ANB told the whole world he was coming home the jurnos had a 50/50 of getting the club right

Sit him in the senior assistant role and when Nicks inevitably ****s up and gets the boot he’s there

Very smart tactical coach and the poison chalice of the GC job shouldn’t taint him

So it’s not NEVER.

Where Mostyn might be confused is we very rarely do anything so not much to report.

 

[jenny61_99]

We have something reasonably positive in our favour, however I think he’d probably prefer to stay at home. He’s a western Sydney suburbs lad. Having said that, if the deal is too good to be true, this one thing in our favour could be worth its weight in gold.

 

[crow2crow]

are we? the media don't think so

 

[Amacca 23]

are we? the media don't think so

Did you not just see what jenny said ?

I might remind you that they also didn’t know about Dawson either…

Ahh..he's been offered the Henley Beach Cafe to come then..makes sense

Is it incriminating photos?

No!

They didn’t? It was floated from early September in an article I just read.
