I joined looking for an outlet the day he left Massie on FranklinWe're going around in circles re Buckley but I just want to state that I do not think Neil Craig was any good. Look at when I joined BF. That was me looking for an outlet because I was so pissed off with that goober.
Ha, yes I remember Blight after a game where Harvey had a lot of touches , something along the lines of ‘he goes to parts of Footy Park I wouldn’t spend time in’.Blight never tagged Harvey either. He didn’t believe his possessions and where he got them were damaging enough.
Imagine a world without Bigfooty.I joined looking for an outlet the day he left Massie on Franklin
Imagine still being here 17 years later complaining about the same things with the same amount (lack) of success.
Blight didn’t lose a home final to St Kilda because of Harvey, Craig didBlight never tagged Harvey either. He didn’t believe his possessions and where he got them were damaging enough.
And Harvey’s 3 goalsHarvey, Dal Santo, Jones, Hayes all had 25+. Wasn't just Harvey. With Clarke and Biglands dominating in ruck our mids should have done better.

I just don't know about all this but it's a really interesting POV. I'd almost add Burgess into that conversation possibly.As much as I would love to see the club give the job to Rahilly, I'm still convinced that Goodwin is going to be our next coach.
I honestly think that Roo's plan is to keep Nicks there long enough to blood the younger players and get the list ready and eventually will he arrange for his BFF Goody to come in and take over the reigns.

Massie on Franklin reaks of Keane on Amartey.Craig couldnt help that, but he could re Harvey
Exactly, Craig couldn’t win a home final, chalk and cheese with the coachesHe won an away Grand Final to St Kilda in spite of Harvey.
Brace yourselves and be careful what you wish for.
VB could end up being our next coach once Nix is gone 'after an exhaustive search, the best candidate was already at the club'
What's the bet West Coast now gets the next great up-and-coming coach because they've moved now, we sack Nicks at the end of next year and get some other leftover dud because all the good ones are taken?

He ran Kane Johnson with him in the 97 grand final.Blight never tagged Harvey either. He didn’t believe his possessions and where he got them were damaging enough.
He got 36 disposals in 97.He ran Kane Johnson with him in the 97 grand final.
Harvey still got plenty of the ball but under pressure. Ended the game with fractured ribs I believe
The 1997 Grand Final against St Kilda was only Johnson’s 25th career game. And on the biggest stage, the masterful Blight once again entrusted his young charge with a big responsibility …He got 36 disposals in 97.
Bloody Blight, man was a true coach. These days it’s all so roboticThe 1997 Grand Final against St Kilda was only Johnson’s 25th career game. And on the biggest stage, the masterful Blight once again entrusted his young charge with a big responsibility …
“That year I played a little bit in the midfield, but mainly at half-back on dangerous forwards. In the finals, I spent some more time in the midfield doing a couple of run-with roles.
“On the Monday night at training in Grand Final week, Blighty came and tapped me on the shoulder when I was having a bit of a kick-to-kick. He said, ‘I’m thinking about playing you on Robert Harvey’.
“Harvey had just won the Brownlow! I was a little bit surprised purely because I didn’t know if I could keep up with him – he was that good a runner and I’d never played a full game in the midfield at AFL level. There were no real rotations in those days. There was a bench, but you only went there if you were injured or weren’t getting a kick!
“I lost a lot of sleep that week. But I think because I was still quite young, I felt like I had nothing to lose. I knew Harvey was still going to get possessions because no one had stopped him getting possessions all year! It was just about trying to nullify his possessions and, hopefully, get a little bit of ball the other way.”
Harvey still had 36, but Johnson walked away from the MCG that day with a premiership medal.
It's a fair point. Agree.What's the bet West Coast now gets the next great up-and-coming coach because they've moved now, we sack Nicks at the end of next year and get some other leftover dud because all the good ones are taken?
I think a lot of it is taken away due to line coaches, back then it was the coach and the assistant pretty much wasn’t it?Bloody Blight, man was a true coach. These days it’s all so robotic
