So strong. Maybe that's why he didn't play in a premiership team...? In fact, maybe that explains why all those players can't be considered 'great.' Held back by leg girth. Now that I think of it, Lockett's legs were just outrageously big.... Whaddya think, Coq? Ablett was the greatest player I ever saw. I withdraw all foolish comments.

So it’s pronounced “Why-Zee”? Edited October 7, 2020 by Ethan Tremblay 1 Quote

Now that this thread has turned to official unmitigated garbage I'll bother to note that I wrote 'interneting' as opposed to 'interesting'. It's not interesting at all. This thread or a particular poster should be culled. 1 Quote

I was lying in bed about to kip. Otherwise you got me. PS: McQueen's done it again with "fella's" but it's way too pedantic even for me to go at him again. This thread has been waylaid far too much thanks to the Coq Tete. Edited October 7, 2020 by pitmaster 1 Quote

Two time premiership player - I know what I'm doing.? What's this story about Goodwin ever taking any input from assistants. I know directly from Brendan McCartney that they had a close and fruitful relationship. When Macca left everything he said was positive about Goodwin. 9 1 Quote

Obviously, Richardson isn't currently a line coach, but I wonder what he'd think of taking on the role of Development coach as well as overseeing coaching? He did start as a development coach. With reduced soft cap to go around, if we could get 5 line coaches to take care of our needs that'd be great. Forward / Match Day Strategy & Opposition (his role in 2020 at Hawthorn) - Adem Yze Midfield - Adam Kingsley / Matthew Knights Back - Leppitsch (still hopeful ) Ruck - Greg Stafford (or someone new...) Development & Director of Coaching - Alan Richardson Quote
