Collingwood wouldn’t want to slip up next week vs Essendon. Lions might jump them and finish minor premiers.

And that would be a disaster because?

 

[Brishawk]

That’s true and I’m guessing lions are favourites and it’s not at the G but I’m calling it now, Woods by 13!

I did try to tell you

Yes fair point. Forgot how ordinary Collingwood are minus their top few players

Essendon might make finals?

Damien Hardwick apparently has miraculously recovered from his burn out and is looking forward to the challenge of coaching the Suns.

Must have seen the potential of the massage staff up there

Huge win for the Lions in the context of the finals. They beat St Kilda at home next week (which they should) and they are only 2 home game wins away from the grand final.

Except then they have to play at the G, which is a massive problem for them these days. They'd prefer if the GF was at Marvel.

Pies limping in now, a lot like Freo in 2015.

Ahead of Sicily. Mind boggling

There were 6 defenders who were wrongly selected ahead of Sicily last year. He should have been the first defender picked.

He will hopefully be picked this year - and should be - but at least he missed a bunch of games this year. Last year was one of the most disgraceful errors the AA selectors have ever made

In strife. Three most important players out injured. Can’t recall a more open season. I can’t confidently predict a flag winner

Yep it has real vibes about a team coming from 7th or 8th to win getting on a roll .

Most confident about the Dees though .

It’s a smart move from Hardwick because he knows the Tiggers list is shot and he had no desire to go through a rebuild, he now has the most talented list in the Comp to work with.

Dare I say it… Carlton are looking dangerous.

Sorry. I’ll wash my mouth out with soap and water now.

 

[grumbleguts]

Yeah, I think anyone who’s got mobile apps, it won’t work as it gets paste it in as X, not Twitter.

It doesn't work on my laptop.

I think you're being a bit harsh on him. It's likely upon reflection after getting away from the club and football in general for an extended period of time, something which he probably could never do properly in the past 13 years or more, that he has realised he's not burnt out coaching but from coaching Richmond.

I think a big factor which would make coaching Gold Coast more appealing then say a Melbourne based club comes down to the fact this is not only an opportunity to change your working environment but also your lifestyle as well. For someone that was feeling burnt out being able to get away from the fish bowl that can be Melbourne to live on the coast where barely anyone would know who you are walking down the street would be hugely refreshing.

I dare say if this was a Melbourne based club who came knocking we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Just happy to take on a list that isn’t destined for a few years down the bottom due to his poor trade moves, and to put as much distance as he can between him and his family

Murphy off injured again

On SM-G973F using BigFooty.com mobile app

He seems to always get injured when the pies are struggling, but seems to be fit when they're going well.
He's the kid in primary school that always gets a stitch or a cramp when losing a race

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Hardwick was promised the Suns job before he got burnt out!

 

[Cleavy]

Carlton haven’t shown up yet. So much for being flavour of the month “premiership favourites”

 

[TylerDurden]

Dan Howe. Tanking for the Roos.

It certainly looked that way. He kicked it to Martin's advantage and towards Richmond's goal.

Contract in front of him before the first ball of 2023 was bounced .

Never seen anything like it.
Triggered a 5 goal pile on in 5 mins.
