—coach—

What a great article, super proud of our club and the people involved with Jesse, the comments about the support and compassion shown by Goodwin and Mahoney prove that we are onto a winner with these two. I was very comfortable with the deal before reading this and now think we nailed it given the nature of why he wanted to leave putting us at a significant disadvantage at the negotiating table. Very proud of our team at the moment ??? Best of luck to Jesse also ?

Hogan got 5 and we want 2 first rounders????

Can you stop talking sense, it doesn’t make for fun reading. Need more comments like “i’ll be livid if...”, now that would be juicy to read. Seriously though, I’ve found myself agreeing with you a lot through this process ?

Melb v Eagles Prelim games played Melb 2000 v WC 2600 im comfortable with sitting out another year and picking up players who fit our age profile now

Just like TMac is too good a backman to go forward? It’s all about the needs of the team

Fair enough, hopefully we end up with all the players we’re after and some reasonable picks to go to the draft with. Our team has a proven history of turning an average pick number into a very handy player so looking forward to seeing where we end up. ?

So it has nothing to do with what May is worth, rather what we feel comfortable with? Like in the castle “it’s the vibe of the thing”? Strange way of looking at it from my perspective, but just my opinion. Each to their own I guess. Go Dees!

Demonland forum a week ago: get pick 5+6 from freo for hogan, give pick 6 to GC for May... “sounds fair”. Demonland forum today: get pick 5+11 from freo for hogan give 5 to GC for May... “THATS MASSIVE OVERS I WOULD BE LIVID IF THEY DID THAT” ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Some reports are suggesting that. Navicular issues

I’m the interest of transparency, I changed my Demonland name from --coach-- to —coach— just in case anyone wondered where the original coach went.

Anyone know where this guy is off too? He presented at a conference I attended and I loved his philosophies on high performance environments: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-06/key-hawks-staffer-poached-by-another-club It speculates Carlton may be an option, but so could a bunch of other clubs.

??????? best burn I’ve ever read on Demonland!

Toumpas was far better than Wines any day of the week. Just misunderstood

Facilities would play a part too I would think.

Without doubt, what else do you with a resting ruckman other than stick them on the bench. Preuss would only be coming to the club on the proviso that he will be playing games at AFL. So thinking about how we use him and Gawn on game day raises some interesting thoughts

Plus he beat a whole bunch of others to make the final of the sprint in which he came last. So not like he was last out of everyone involved, just last out of those in the final. Think of it as 10th out of the 30 or so involved

Spoke to his Dad on Friday, two things came out of it. Seems the players (Well Sam at least) don’t know what’s happening with Hogan, and Sam and family seem to love the club and are super pleased with his block of games in the backend of the season.

Yeah Tony Lockett really struggled after smashing Peter Caven, only kicked 440 goals after that! ? intereting this could be a similar scenario, Lockett smashes caven, moves to Sydney, continues to have a stellar career post move. gaff smashes brayshaw, moves to Melbourne, has a stellar career post move?

Don’t let logic get in the way of a good curmudgeon grumble Ethan

Rang the membership office today to upgrade my auto renew thingy from 3 game (went to 8 games plus both mcg finals this year) to all home games membership. Last few years work has made it difficult for me to get to many games but that’s settled down a heap this year. Looking forward to a ripping 2019!!!

Think the compare said Melb v Ess when he read out the votes but it was actually Melb v Saints?

Yep my bad, switching between tv and phone whilst playing Pubg , got confused

Melb v Ess Hogan 1 vote with: 2 goals, 5 kicks, 3 hand balls, 5marks, 2 tackles Gawn no votes: 2 goals, 8 kicks, 8 handballs, 5 marks, 5 tackles, 42 hit outs WTF!!!

Or Gawn forward when resting and Hogan to defense. Played there as a junior I believe

Me at the start of the year: If we make the finals and win one it will be an A+ year. Me prior to Hawks final: Everything’s a bonus now, win and it will be an A+++ year. Me now: If we don’t win today and then beat Coll next week I will neck myself!!!
