Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[DocT]

It's remarkable how many possibles are excusing themselves from the WCE coaching search list, Hansen and Giansiracusa are the latest I've noticed. They make their excuses but the reality is that if you want a shot at the top job you don't get many chances. Why are the mighty Eagles so on the nose? Overnight success is not on the cards but you would have thought such a well resourced club won't stay down for long. Is Pyke really hard to work with? I'm setting myself up for a wonder bag of responses here but why do others think the Bin Chickens are struggling to attract quality applicants? The song's not that bad...

Carlton have 9 ins this week 6 out. 5 Debutants so you would think at least 2 or 3 play.

Lewis Young, Jaxon Binns, Cooper Lord, Jack Carroll, Corey Durdin, Harry Lemmey, Billy Wilson, Ashton Moir, Domanic Akuei

It's not Pyke, it's the bloke below him (and the time period of getting that list back to something respectable).

I like Laidley's comment: "Schoey's 'working class' style could win coaching race'". Except he's the only one in the race

 

[Boppo]

Wow..those ins for Carlton. It’s like 9 random names from a phone book.

Five players named for their debut. It’s an extended bench so three probably don’t play but still two debutants this late is the season for the 9th best team who’ll go into the eight if they win is pretty crazy. Not sure I’ve seen that many injuries in a single week for one team tbh.

Hollands Williams Hollands
Motlop Kennedy Owies

That’s Carlton named forward line.
Holy shit if McGovern doesn’t get 20 intercept marks by quarter time

Taberner to Carlton?

 

[JunglistPosse]

Schofield will be the next to decline to be considered for the role

Haha yes then it will be out of Sumich and Laidley for the gig

 

[Retzlaff]

Mark Neeld has officially ruled himself out the race for the Eagles coaching role

That guy....damn he wouldve been perfect for them. Perfect for more spoons

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Has literally anyone put their hat in the ring besides Schofield?

There are some jobs I think as a coach you look at and go do I really want to burn my career.

Let's be honest rebuild coaches don't make it to the end.

Taking the Eagles job as a rookie by year 3 or 4 unless you deep in the finals they don't survive. As your coming already after 3 years of misery so fans get more restless the longer it takes.

Can you see the Eagles achieving that in 3-4 years

I had a nightmare last night.

Brave Carlton won 33-31 in a low scoring bore fest against the Eagles with a last-minute goal to end our finals chances.

Thankfully I woke up and returned to reality.

Can just imagine it - Some absolute BS umpiring in the last minute of the game hands Carlton the lead and eagles fans are mad for about ten minutes until they remember this season means nothing for them and Freo will now miss finals.

I am not at all implying that you have or will ever take it, but that sounds like a Stilnox dream.

Not many will likely get the joke but lol.

Ugh Bombers look like they are gonna win this

 

[nurries]

Ugh Bombers look like they are gonna win this

The umps certainly think so

 

[Lach72]

Caddy is very a very nice mark…kicking for goal not so much

 

[StingBitten]

We'd spank both these teams if we were in form right now

 

[Lach72]

Bombers are like watching Freo at times. All the play but no score

 

[fnerd]

Only watched half a quarter of this match so far and it’s not hard to see why the bombers are a clear favourite amongst the AFL umpiring fraternity
