Mid table side plays better against bottom teams than top teams. Color me shocked.

Well if you ask people around here most would say otherwise

The people for the last 2 years have been saying "oh this is a game we typically lose" when coming up against shit opposition

Not a fan of BT but would rather have him call Essendon games over Dwayne Russell.

We're gonna get reamed out this weekend

I really dislike Garry Lyon. Even before Billy.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I have a feeling that Caracella might end up at the Pies as coach. Their fans are focussed on McRae and Clarkson, but
he grew up barracking for them and went for the North head coach role late last year and probably has the contacts etc.
Hope he stays at Essendon, obviously. If he does, at least we got two seasons from him.
He has the best resume in the business and clearly loves the game.
Is the gold standard! My opinion. Hope he stays and we get 4-5 at least years out of him.

He said a few months back he'd be interested in being the coach at Collingwood after Bucks got the arse.

Hopefully he's too low profile still to attract serious attention but I can't help thinking that a lot of our improved ball movement comes from Caracella and it would be a huge loss to us if he goes.

If we're lucky the boardroom ****ery at the pies has put him off.

Isn’t it well known that Lyon’s an arrogant arseh*le?

This is the unpopular thread.

Nobody seems to like him. Why has he still got a commentary job?

It doesn’t work like that. If he treats the powers to be with respect and does a good job they won’t sack him.

I think he’s a pretty good special comments person FTR. Just a dick of a bloke (from what I’ve heard anyway).

Well actually. If the ratings aren't there because of him, he loses his job.

Which would mean they’ve done a poor job. See where I’m going with this?

Ratings isn't indicative of a good job. Its popularity = sales = money.

You said the ratings are low because of him, which are the key metric for the success of a tv show. Ergo, he’s done a bad job.

No I didn't. I questioned why has he still got a job given nobody likes him.
If nobody likes him, then the shows he comments on would lose viewers. Then advertising sales drop, then money doesn't come in. Which then comes down on his head.

Anyone who complains of an adverse event from a Covid injection is weak-willed in all of their mind, body and soul.

I’m finding it hard to engage with this content due to the epic headache I have from Pfizer 2.

Obviously it will be worse once the autism kicks in.

Billy's wife liked him... maybe a little too much
