[Runnin Blue]

What about Rooch!!

Nah, he’s currently cleaning my toilet.

 

[BucketsNj]

Why aren’t we on the list ??!!

Disappointing

He really is a campaigner, isn’t he.
Just negative clickbait

 

[Danger in Texas]

Ok let's play a game:

Who will be first to announce the Peatling decision?

Morris?
Manure?
Edmund? (currently on air)
Slobbo?
Theo?

It’ll be Morris or Twomey, they seem to be the most active so far

Except campaigner wasn’t the word I used

Josh Money if he stays at GWS

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Lots of confusion on the new role ....does he oversee Nicks or is he Nicks right-hand man .....seems the Advertiser is confused as well, with contradictory statements

 

[Amacca 23]

Nah josh will say he is going to port

[BucketsNj]

literally anybody else, another rookie coach with a bit of IQ will do. every game this imbecile keeps first picking murphy will be the death of this club.

Whatever we think of Murphy, to say that the selection of the 23rd player in the team is the death of the club is idiotic. What happened this year really isn’t down to Murphy.

 

[GreyCrow]

And ill say AGAIN slowly we have no bloody idea what position he has been OFFERED so unless you have esp or can see the future you are jumping at shadows

WE HAVE OUR COACHES LOCKED IN FOR 2025

THE MESSAGING WAS DIRECTOR OF COACHING

UNLESS YOU HAVE ESP HOW CAN YOU REFUTE THOSE CLAIMS?

 

[fuic08]

I understand your thinking .....my POV is no-one was saying Sloane was overpaid at the start of his Contract, just the end

What is conveniently overlooked, was the paranoia surrounding his resigning ...."we can't lose Sloane"

Unfortunately the game has changed, which blunted Sloane's effectiveness late in his career .....less stoppages, less congestion, quicker midfields

We should have moved him out of the midfield ......

I don't think I was posting here when the signing happened, but I remember talking with my Dad at the time and we both thought we overpaid.

Giving in to the paranoia is what is annoying about the deal.

 

[GreyCrow]

This board:

Waah waah why are we keeping the same coaches into 2025?

Club:

We are adding new personnel to our coaching panel.

This board:

Waah waah this new coach stinks poo poo.

If he is a coach then great the more the merrier

Its not his coaching credentials getting questioned its his role and does he have the experience for a higher role

Why all the yelling

 

[jenny61_99]

I think its pretty well documented that it was more of a "home" issue than a "work" issue.

He wasn't played either was he?

 

[Gtowncrow]

I'm the opposite.

I think someone coming in to manage the coaching team who has done every coaching role - that makes sense.

I'd like the Senior Assistant to be a bit more of a leader in the industry.

I'm happy to be gaining an experienced coach from an interstate club, who is the current premiers forward coach and who has experienced rebuilding of a club and team.

His only negative is my fault, not his. I've never heard of him.

I'm also pleased the club has sought him out. And lastly, I'm happy we're attractive enough for him to come.

I'm looking forward to us benefiting from all he brings. He'll be far better than what we currently have.

 

[GreyCrow]

Why all the yelling

Because saying it quietly doesnt seem to get through

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Giving in to the paranoia is what is annoying about the deal.

Looking at some of the Contracts happening .....all AFL Clubs are doing ridiculous Contracts

Over the years, even preceding the AFL, it's been demonstrated Football Clubs are incapable of managing money

I always objected to Clubs spending $10K for tribunal appeals, when it was simply spent to show support for their player .....this $10K was supporters membership funds, flushed down the drain

its time GROTTO ...do you still have the Rory Sloane wolf of Wall street edit video, that was so funny. For old times sake

 

[croweater 41]

Initially yes. Hurt his knee, Sweet did ok, come back stank it up, Sweet picked again and was better than serviceable

You'd think (or hope) that the longer the Peatling decision takes, the more it tilts in our favour? Maybe just wishful thinking
