as an old metal head my vote: Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast even though Im sure all the young players would be saying wtf is this

Yes, lot of talk when Lyon went back to St Kilda that they got off on the wrong foot and have never been big fans of each other...

Will be a good player for us if he stays fit, my main concern is he has a pretty bad degenerative knee issue doesnt he? At least playing most weeks on the glorious MCG will be a lot better for his legs than that glorified carpark at Docklands

Not sure we need him, might end up at Casey a fair bit

You don’t have to read between the lines too hard to see why we are desperate to see the back of Clayton and why no one except GWS showed any real interest in taking him off our hands

Don’t mind him at all if he can stay fit and as others have pointed out we can’t go all kids for next season. Should be exciting watching him, Koz and Caleb burn up the MCG grass at least!

1 million times better than that poxy Suns strip

Of course they will....they had been clamouring for us to sack Goody for 2 years and when we do it "how can they treat their only living Premiership coach with such disrespect?"

Its the hope that kills you...

All this is a bit reminiscent of Ryan Griffin being traded to GWS who refused to deal Tom Boyd "under any circumstances"

Painful as it is I think the footy department is doing the right thing pulling the trigger now to ensure we have a competitive team going forward and don’t end up like West Coast, hanging onto the premiership heroes way too long, look where that got them. King seems to be coming in with a similar plan as Sam Mitchell who sacked the guys who couldn’t play the style he demanded, working well for them so far (albeit with a couple of difficult seasons which we are already in the middle of)

Seems to be an epidemic of star players wanting out of their long term contracts this season…unusual. As for Trac would love if it he stays and is 100% committed but this constant speculation is getting tiresome year on year, perhaps if he isn’t all in a break up is best for both sides

King is certainly an impressive speaker and presenter and saying all the things we want to hear about attacking gameplan, ball movement etc. Excited to see it come to life in 2026 even though I’m sure it won’t be smooth sailing, but confident we should at least be better than this season gone!

Good decision I think, just couldn't imagine Buckley being a success as our coach....welcome Steven!

all the best SparGOAT
