Is it a ‘contract’ year again for him?

Im with you. Edit: In my own bed. Not yours.

Pathetic.

What an amazingly depressing thread. I’ll go Oliver (straight swap for Curnow).

[censored] Collingwood, [censored] the protected Daicos kids, [censored] the AFL.

There’s a game on today?

Do you even football, bruh?

A few years ago, we were undergoing a restructure at work. My job was safe, if I wanted it. I assured the partner that I was staying, “I promise, I’m not going anywhere. This place is my second home”. Next day, I received an opportunity that was hard to turn down, so I didn’t. And promptly resigned.

I’m not saying I want Buckley (I don’t, would’ve preferred to keep Goody), but I don’t care where someone is from or who they use to play for; I want the best available option.

Unload Oliver (& Petracca if he wants out). Bring in Zak Butters as a FA end of next ‘26.

Collingwood are having a glorious run from the umps.

Collingwood will run out of gas, Adelaide just can’t let the score blow out too much. They’ve been Burgessized so they’ll come back.

Dear Commentators, we know how old Pendlebury is and how long he’s been playing for; we don’t need to be reminded of these points every single time he has a touch or enters the frame.

You win POTY.

Pay 30% of Oliver’s salary and trade him.

How is that a free kick against McDonald? WTF

He’s not even that good. This is the scary thing.

Howie asked for Lewis to give us a run down on Fritz’s hair routine later. Stay tuned. Thrilling stuff.

Hawthorn’s skills Our skills.

And called touched by the kicker. What a joke haha.

I think it’s really important that we have a cross-section of the community on the head coach selection panel. I for one applaud the club for selecting a feminist.

There appears to be a significant disconnect between the coaching group and the board. Ethan’s assessment on the situation is as follows: Goodwin was implementing a long-term strategy aimed at positioning the team for a future premiership. This approach required a period of regression before becoming consistently competitive again. Several senior players expressed dissatisfaction with this direction, as they preferred to remain competitive in the short term and focus on playing finals. Goodwin’s vision and strategy were not well understood or supported by the board. The board’s decision-making has reflected a lack of alignment and professionalism. Their decision to part ways with Goodwin with only four matches remaining, and without a clear succession plan, highlights this issue. Further, the proposal to appoint Buckley—whose win/loss record is marginally weaker than Goodwin’s and who has not delivered a premiership—raises questions about the board’s rationale and long-term planning. While I would be pleased to be proven wrong, my concern is that the organisation may face ongoing instability over the next five or more years.

I’m sure the Lions weren’t expecting Logan Morris to come on like he has during this season. I wonder if Oscar Allen is still required?

A team effort with a heap of hard running and pressure. Kozzie to kick five. Dee’s by 37. [censored] the Hawks.

The only two reasons I can think of as to why Jobe is part of the process: 1. To vouch for Hird. 2. He’s a DEI hire.
