We need to be working on Phillipou and NWM. Saints aren’t gonna move up the table anytime soon

That’s pretty depressing for them considering they’ve been waiting 58 years.

Riley Bonner 12 disposals for 210m gained
Xavier Duursma 11 disposals for 252m gained

There was nobody quite like Chocko, he had 100% belief his way was the right way.
Sometimes he was spot on other times it ended bad.
People liked him for his working class no frills approach.
He played the game hard and coached the same way.
I don’t agree with all he done but he was the real deal not like these politically correct Puffer jacket jack offs

Spot on summary.

That's how it is with true innovators in any field of business not just sport. And why they need a quality and strong 2IC to keep them in bounds. It's what Choko needed to help shoulder the publicity burden imho. The poor bastard was fighting both on and off field battles and he needed someone to fight the off field battles for him. 'Mentoring' is the BS word of management theory iirc.

There's a growing trend in business towards hiring leadership teams as a pair (selected by the hirer not by the appointees )- able to cover each others weaknesses while allowing their strengths to be fully utilised . Reckon that's where AFL club leadership needs to go if it isn't already.

Bonner’s best game was in our worst game.

He was talking about Dougal Howard

 

[gbear]

How did the aints beat the swans?

Good question that.

 

[JimmyBC]

Good question that.

Unfortunately I think SMOSH would give Sydney grief at present.

Brisbane flag favourites by the length of the Flemington straight now

Sorry wrong cast off.

If they don't win though, will the headline be:

FAGAN CAN'T

As bad as the Saints are they’re still above the Crows.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Kane Cornes: Port just traded out a future All Australian defender

How his tune changed lol.

Can you imagine a world where you hitch your wagon to a guy like Bonner, when your own team has lads like JHF, Butters, Rozee etc etc

Just such an odd take

 

[240volt]

We win next week, Freo beat the cats at home.
Brisbane v GWS is then a win win for us.
Brisbane win GWS drop a game behind us.
GWS win we go half a game up on Brisbane.
Looks good on paper

 

[TazD]

Boak defenders be like

DOUGAL WAS A CAPTAIN OF OUR CLUB! SHOW HIM SOME RESPECT.

We just have to win every week now. The rest takes care of itself. One week at a time…..

Being a Freo supporter has to be one of the toughest gigs in footy, in close to 30 years in the comp they have never won anything worth bragging about, there record in local derbies is beyond awful, and they once again lost a game in Melbourne against fairly ordinary opposition that they should have won.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

So what did Kan Kornes say about us trading Douglas Howard to St Kilda again?

Very true was just trying to find a way of making top four if we drop one of the last three.
I reckon we will win the next two, contrary to belief I’m more worried about the Freo in Perth game than the Crows.

And they wear purple.

Sensing an 2004 rematch.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

3 games to go.
Shyte is hotting up.

 

[Haggas]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, we know how we do in finals

 

[afl2004]

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

This week, due to no vic teams in the top 4, I reckon us and Sydney and one of Brissy or GWS more GWS will get the Bret Hart Montreal screw job treatment from the umps.

He also said Wingard will be the best player that's ever played for the club since it started
