I would've said 'Type numbers into spreadsheets', but in this degenerate era, it's now 'Type prompts into ChatGPT'

its my job, [..........space........]but its not just my job, its my passion Yup. And the comma is doing the heavy lifting here. The way he answered it was with a full stop. And was a 3 or 4 second pause with awkward laughter from all involved before adding to that statement. The words alone on a page are somewhat of a misquote.

We're being raided by SANFL clubs. Not a ringing endorsement of our 2025 program

Is it any surprise? The bloke could talk eloquently for half an hour without saying that much at all. Once it became a proper process for finding the right candidate, the person/s that were most up-to-date on 2025 footy and coaching/management were the ones that stood out, and he was at the back of the pack. And of course the media can't deal with that reality. Many on DL predicted that Bucks would only become coach, if it was a headhunt and we weren't going through the right coaching process. And it seemed thats what was happening when Goodwin was unceremoniously dumped with 3 weeks to go in the season. I'm happy. Curious to hear from there Deebrief Podcast now. They were pushing for him for half the season!

Only solace is that given our history of players foot injury recoveries combined with his medical history, he would've become very close friends with Shane McAdam these past few seasons, or had no impact on field as we pushed him into the seniors with zero VFL time.

That will pair nicely with your champagne

Semi Final Sainters here we come

Jamie Elliott diddled us

That would be a throw in. Not sure about Harmes one? But perhaps the AFL need to clarify every instance via video, but here is the sanfl one:

It's the Last disposal out of bounds, not touch, so that won't happen. If you kick or handball it into a player and it goes out of bounds, you will still be the last one that disposed of it and will give away the free kick. Thread title is incorrect in that regard.

In 2020 they lost a close semi final to the Tigers, after beating the Dogs in the elimination. But yeah your point still stands!

Far out I've turned off a bunch of pods as theyve gotten into this topic. Geelong are the footy medias love-child, and uproar over these free kicks is the big thing they've taken from a weekend of great footy. Lame.

They'd rate him higher. Maybe we should do a swap of 2026 1sts with MWH thrown in. Given how much they're overrating themselves after their annual late season run of wins against the bottom half of the ladder. They'll think their finals bound and we're pick 5 bound, I bet.

Damn. I was ready to trade them #3 Jack Billings for MWH and a 2nd round pick.

Can Josh Dunkley? A solid defensive big bodied mid is also what we need in the future while Langford, Lindsay, Kozi & Windsor get to work. Our 23 needs more quality, and less fringe. To rise up the ladder faster

Does Finey still have some inside mail at the Saints? This is huge news!!

What the Hager!

Would've been 3 votes Alex Pearce if Freo had held on. Typical of Freo to do a Melbourne and fluff it in the last few minutes! lol

Not surprised at all right now. Suns were 2nd all season with that game in hand. Fluffed one game to make top 4 against a rival who have the wood on them. THey've essentially got a free hit in this finals series. Zero pressure to do anything and they've probably got the best coach of the lot. They might go on a run and hopefully play Pies and pull off the greatest moment of the season. Dont care about the Grand Final after that haha Freo really resemble their coach, way too in their head to stand up in September. Nerves, pressure. Playing too slow.

Actually im with PF: WE are to blame for giving the Pies 1 game in 27 days and an MCG prelim loss to the Mighty Gold Coast Suns 🤞

Indeed. GIANTS will smack them if they play that safe and timid footy next week.

Spear tackled him? Is that a reportable offense? Doesn't matter, commentators didnt pick it up.

Not sure I'm ready to sign up for the 13 year Ken Hinkley vic media softball treatment; close enough is good enough. Prelims be damned!

And play on long enoughy that we can hopefully give him the flag send-off, that other (annoying) clubs have given their leaders

Lever and/or May going, Tracc staying or leaving and Gus retired... Interestingly All of the future captain candidates mentioned over the years Goes to show how massive a person and leader Gawny is and has been. Respect to Jack Viney too who's been there with him and Jonesy through the entire ride Gawn really is the bridge connecting the past generation to our next. I can see our next captain being one of our young guns in 2027/28 Go Dees!
