Hawks v Crows in the dross cup this arvo. LOL.

That's on today? Shit I better go stock up the fridge.

It doesnt even sound like anyone at the Pies has even spoken to him. He is just 'riffing' But, if theyre paying Mason Cox $550k per year, this guy might get himself a 5 year $7million contract.

Imagine how much danger would get over there

Yes I reckon the crows will win this

As nice as that would be, its hard to see. Hawthorn still show hope every now and again. Then again, Adelaide really took it up to us not so long ago.

However, their flag teammate Josh Caddy has suffered another hamstring setback in his bid to win his spot back, with tightness to rule him out for at least one week.

When they say Caddy will miss one week, is that one week as in previous seasons which really means one game, is it a legitimate one week which would include our game also meaning 2 games?

Richmond will take a cautious approach with Kane Lambert against Fremantle.

Random question: has any club ever sacked a coach at the end of a season in which their team played finals?

Hoping for a draw tonight - means Crows still winless and the Dawks unable to beat a side unable to win a game.

 

[winty]

Would we be interested?

 

[cats_09]

Would we be interested?

Surely cheaper than Cameron...

 

[goyoucatters]

Surely cheaper than Cameron...

Certainly. But nothing like the player, either.

Would be passing on this possibility, as he still wouldn't be coming as anything like a bargain.

In my view, if you're going to have to pay up big time, at least make sure it is for one of the very best going around.

I have just had a look at the ins for Haw.

They really don't want to lose this.

I was thinking the other way... Naming Stratton is flat out tanking as far as I can see.

Bruce asked 55 rhetorical questions in one game

Before I begin, can I preface this by saying that I adore Bruce McAvaney’s passion for the game. And I’m not trying to ether him out of existence here.

Hope so. He deserves it. Lucky Collingwood. Fingers Crossed it comes to fruition.

Pretty Bold statement mate !!!- dont let the actual facts get in the way of a good story though

This season Geelong have only been comprehensively outplayed in the one game - and that was the Magpies at Optus - and i think most reasonable unbiased viewers of that game would suggest that the Magpies should have been 5 or 6 goals in front at h/time - they totally outplayed Geel - with their fast slick ball movement - and Geel had no answer to that

I think there are 3 obvious proven teams in the finals ( re possible opponents for Geel ) namely Rich W/C and Coll - so id rather the Cats to play the suspect lightweights like Bris Port StK etc

Well, we lost Selwood in the warmup and Clarke did his shoulder during the game. We had no Stanley either. It was a bit of a funny game, certainly not our best foot forward. That was also a long time ago, compared to current form.

If you recall, we comprehensively beat Richmond in our home and away game last year, and they just turned it on in the final last year and beat us.

1980 Tony Jewell coached Tigers to an emphatic 81 point win over Pies.
One season later SACKED.

I liked this tweet in response to that

Guys what do you think will be more meme worthy- Adelaide going winless or their only win coming against the hawfies?

 

[Munich]

Bloody hell I went to change my margin and it picked the opposite team! Didn't realise till too late.

Oh well go crows

Only win against Hawthorn for sure. Imagine being that bad, that you let a team get their only win for the season against you.
