Cox to coach the eagles imo

Not if the succession is already in place for 2025 onwards

Actually would be very interesting if he stays this is Longmire last contract if he goes then Longmire extends.

It's tricky because ideally Horse wouldn't be going anywhere for a long time. Best coach in the league at present I'd say. At the same time, if he really does see Cox as his one and only worthy successor, then you can't take him for granted and assume he'll stick around as 2IC.

Perhaps what may be best for the club is Horse going out arguably at the peak of his powers so it can ensure a succession plan.

But I dunno. The thought of anyone but Horse coaching us gives me the ick.

Longmire is the Bellamy of the AFL

Hey! Leave sataris alone...

For the record, I'm not neither loud nor quiet, but perfectly toasted on both sides.

Longmire is the Bellamy of the AFL

But without the premierships.

A “bad” senior coach is rare.

We’d do very well under Dean Cox, or many other qualified coaches.

If Cox goes to West Coast, such is life.

If Chad & Gus go to West Coast …

The arrogance is extraordinary;

GWS backs Collingwood president's Opening Round ultimatum

“I am all in favour of developing the game in the northern states but (Opening Round) needs to be fairly spread across all the clubs.”

www.zerohanger.com

“We will speak (to the AFL) about Opening Round; we won't be going if it is just two clubs going to Sydney,” Browne told the Herald Sun.

Apparently Collingwood decide their own fixture.

In the original HSun article (https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...ws-story/a7af7da863715a3849a66407c4155dd4?amp) Browne suggests Opening Round should be spread across the Northern states
“Half the teams could go to Brisbane and half the teams could go to Sydney.

“It neutralises disadvantage but also pumps up the development of those markets. We are fully supportive of that. We want to go there, but we want to make sure it is fair for everyone.”

Good to see the Magpies calling out fixturing disadvantages.

PS ZH he's the President not CEO.

More Victorian whinging this year. Just give them 23 games at the MCG already. It’s what they want

Thank you.

So Gather Round across two states? Honestly would rather each team begin the season at the same time and have a Bye at the same time. During the Bye week, they can bring back the EJ Whitten game, have another fundraiser centered on footy, or something else. But all these Byes across different weeks is a joke and a breeding ground for complaints.

coaches are only as good as their cattle

they can improve a little or worsen a little. But its about 90% cattle

Maybe they should have just rotated gather round each year, like it was initially intended.

. They’re a national broadcaster. Not a pro-Vic one. Any way we can complain about them to someone?

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Fine, I’ll send an angry email to SM

 

[The Mares Leg]

Fox Footy needs to lose their licence immediately for going hard at Isaac Heeney. They’re a national broadcaster. Not a pro-Vic one. Any way we can complain about them to someone?

Kellie Chunderwoods first comment at the break was ‘Isaac Heeney may be in trouble with a swinging arm and clenched fist collecting Webster in the face’

It was in fact, the back of his hand.
