Delisted #29: Joel 'Scarface' Smith – banned for four years and delisted

Drug dealing is such a weird thing. Knew a bloke who did years for manufacturing/trafficking. Another unrelated bloke who was from a very famous family, who escaped by the skin of his teeth. Both were around the same age as Joel but both from incredibly wealthy families. As a poor campaigner from a migrant family I could never understand risking your freedom and potentially pissing away all the advantages you have by selling literal pounds of gear.

Neither of these dudes needed the cash.
Anyway, moving on.

Too late to do anything with the coach but you'd hope Goody resigns by the end of the season. Roffey has to go for her part in the cover up too.
These people are all way too stubborn. Don't see them jumping, they will need to be pushed

Ego I think. Having the respect of people cause you can get shit for them etc

I think Goody might, can see the media pressure getting to him, reckon he was at breaking point last year now he has this on top of it.

I'd be shocked honestly. Might see him lash out a bit though which could be fun. Dude always looks a hair away from going postal.

Yeah, hes been very quiet this offseason since November, doing the Roffey. Think hes known a storm has been coming for a while now. Shame that Max has to cop all these questions and the coach is nowhere to be seen.

I suppose it is that simple isn't it.

Also the thrill of it all, outsmarting the law. At least that's what my mate said in the court transcripts I read.

I'm coming around to your idea of Buckley as a replacement.

This group needs someone who can actually get them in line but also knows how to build the relationships and respect. Knows how to handle the media too.

Might not have the tactical nous but get some good assistants around him and who knows.

Yeah, would love Bucks. Although im not sure we will have the appeal to relatively big name coaches like we used to now. Would be mad not to pIcK uP tHe PhOnE and suss him out if Goody does go though.

Hes out of the game at the moment so he wouldn't be as a big a get as you'd think. Reckon he'd be a bit like Ross Lyon where he'd be interested if he was offered the job but wouldn't want to go through an interview process.
 
Definitely a no to Bucks.

Got given the golden handshake at the Pies to take over an incredible list, more or less ran it into the ground then moved into commentary instead of taking another coaching job. McRae takes over the guts of that list and wins a flag a few years later.

I more meant that hes getting paid well in the media, are we a club worth giving that away and trying to fix? He'd probably need to weigh that up and do some investigating himself. Could see us being a club where we have to hire someone who hasn't had a chance before coz we are that toxic right now. The CEO appointment will be important, cant let this board hire the Pert replacement, dont want anyone involved in this coverup making decisions/being owed favours.

Coaching is a passion gig. Lyon was in the same boat with his media commitments and made the point that the pay is way better for the workload but he still went back into the coaches box. If he's still got the fire he'd pick up the phone.

Not sure he ran them into the ground, sometimes coaches just come to the end of their time and the message stops getting thru, Bucks had been there for a while.

IMO he was given the keys way too early but got better as time went on. The Collingwood team that won the premiership last year was basically the same team he built.

Which says what about his coaching? Those Collingwood teams always had a very good core of senior players (Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Crisp, Howe, Elliot) and have also been very lucky with father sons and academy over that time: Darcy Moore, Quaynor and the Daicos boys.

Anyway, whatever, I don't really rate Bucks.
 
one bloke i wouldn't mind as a senior coach is Justin Leppitsch, i reckon he's ready for another shot at it.

It says you ignored the freak goal away from winning a flag he was with the list he apparently ran into the ground
