At the break of Gawn

Murray Davis is someone I hope applies just as someone to potentially consider if Danny Daly isn't interested. Listening to Fagan on SEN and he said from a pre-season game against Adelaide he could see similarities to how Adelaide were playing to Brisbane and even heard them use same lingo amongst the players. I guess it shows the immediate impact he's had and now Adelaide is sitting first.

Or Kozzy gets suspended to delay the start of his next season. Him missing the first 3 games of our season absolutely [censored] us this year.

Liam Ryan going to the Saints. They're becoming a destination club ahead of us...

No Bobby Hill helps our chances I think. His speed troubles us. If somehow Howe doesn't get up I'd almost be confident of a win.

Overall for the year we're 8th for 'with the footy' and 11th for 'without the footy'. For an overall season, 8th is the best we've been 'with the footy' since 2022. We were 10th in 2023 and 13th in 2024 for comparison.

I get that our win/loss record has been atrocious this year, but per this picture below we're 5th for with the footy now over the last 5 games which shows why Goodwin was bullish on our progression. Our defence has clearly let us down this year and I think it was the next thing Goody was going to focus on, but that's the best we've been 'with the footy' since 2021.

David King calls Trac the million dollar slaughterman and you can't really argue with him. His kick damage rating is regularly 30th on the ground each week. I think the only way out of this for Trac is to change his body shape and become an elite runner like a Bailey Smith type. I just can't see him changing his kicking style with that huge ball drop he has. Whether that happens with us or someone else I guess we'll see.

Glad I'm not the only one. Called this out on the game day and the pregame thread that we were really up against it. The AFL needs to balance the Thursday night fixtures much better next year.

No thanks. Only flag he's been involved with as a coach was Dogs in 2016.

Reminds me of a certain final 😭

Sparrow is taking the [censored] if he thinks that's the right kick

Not watching but why can't we stop their uncontested marking? Wonder if it's the 6 day break.

The bottom 2 teams have skewed the 8. West Coast 1 win is almost unheard of. In 2021 for example, 17th finished with 6 wins and 18th with 4.

Hawks are in really good form and one of the best pressure sides. Their 4 talls will really stretch us I think if we allow them time and space when entering the 50. The good news is that with those extra talls we should be able to rebound from their D50 pretty well. Feel like Melksham on Sicily will be pivotal while I really hope we don't tag Newcombe again and allow Clarry to play an attacking game. Dees to be competitive but fall away in the last given the Hawks are coming off a 9 day break and us only 6.

It's actually very possible that Freo could sack JL if they miss out on finals. Melb might not be the only club looking for a coach in 2 weeks time.
