Is it too early to start the 'It's all burgoes fault and we need to sack him ASAP' thread?

I know this will be howled down by many on here, but the reason for a lot of the injury/fitness issues were because we got so far last year with a relatively young and inexperienced team. After Hawtho

this fellow and the caliber of his resume does not fit the MFC archetyoe

 

 

based on this in depth assessment one can only conclude this is a suspect appointment and it is impossible not to conclude this is some deep state double agent activation by the Collingwood FC intelligence apparatus designed to keep us wedded to the bottom of the ladder through a complex and entirely coincidental-appearing set of injurious events in 2020

Apparently we beat out a number of overseas clubs, two AFL clubs and an A-League club for his signature.

This bloke clearly knows his stuff.  Great coup for the club.

Are we paying him overs to be at our club?

Is your logic akin to Buckley’s recommendation of Neeld prior to us appointing him?

Oh ok is that an overreaction from Arsenal?

I would of thought so... but you have to remember Arsenal is one of the biggest sporting clubs in the world. It's a high pressure job which is heavily reliant on winning!

So we have beaten other suitors from  overseas, AFL and ARL to capture his services? Must be worse basket cases than us for him to reject them. I hope we haven’t overpaid. Suspiciously looks like that as we have been there before.

    VOTES: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Alex Neal-Bullen, Steven May, & Jack Viney make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Kangaroos. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
