Yze for Coach?
Where in the rulebook does it say a sacking of a coach sets you back a number of years? How did the Saints go after they sacked Grant Thomas? Freo after Mark Harvey? Ever heard of the sunk cost fallacy? Sometimes a coach can only take you so far.

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs Essendon
But Corey Maynard realized it wasn't for him and retired off the back of his demolition by Selwood, and Petty came back stronger as a forward. Is it that necessary to play a man down again or have more structural imbalance in defence, just for their individual morale? It could get worse.

Melbourne the odd one out?
I liked that even when Neitz had his off days where he couldn't clunk a thing, he'd still halve every contest and hit a pack with ferocity. TMAC needs to in the least, be that imposing if he's not taking them. @GCDee a TMac mentor at least, get him down there a few days a month!

Yze for Coach?
I'm of the same opinion, if things don't change. We simply cannot risk missing finals in 2021 by sticking with him and writing the year off and having to do a mid season sacking anyway. A 2 year payout would be hard to take, but bouncing back with a new coach would invigorate the fans (Roosurrection days) and a fresh new style might see us bring in more people to the games, and making a surprise finals surge would reap profits that would make a payout palatable. A big 15 games ahead.

Jake Lever.. Can someone explain??
After all pick swaps, it equated to a pick 10. I'd take Lever for 10. That was the whole point in 17', we needed proven defenders, not a speculative kid

NON MFC: Round 02
Instead we had to put up with Jobs4mates Watson that reads player stats and has nothing much tactically to add. The guy does zero footy media anywhere, but lands special comments on Friday footy? Laughable.

NON MFC: Round 02
If I had to pick a best quarter of the 8, I'd still take the rich v Coll last quarter for the contest.

Pickett & Spargo Break COVID Restrictions
We'll have to call him 009 if he's conspiring to undermine and usurp Kozi for his position. ?

Pickett & Spargo Break COVID Restrictions
Which is Fantastic. However if you're in a European country where it's unfortunately dirt cheap, the smoking is ubiquitous and just dirty to have to walk through!

Pickett & Spargo Break COVID Restrictions
Aside from covid issues, I hope the fags were just curiosity or temporary lapse. I bought a pack for the first time in 5 years last night after too many beers. Had a few predictably digusting puffs and then through the packet in the bin. Bloody waste of money. Spargo being a regular smoker might explain why he doesn't have the energy to kick it 30m!

NON MFC: Round 02
At least the 16 mins made it faster for me to fast forward through the match They finally had clean possession of the ball, I'd be playing for the draw too. The pies have lucked out in avoiding extra time these past 10 years!

Pickett & Spargo Break COVID Restrictions
"Do you want the good news or the bad news first dear? Bad news. Kozi has been suspended for a week And the good? So has Spargo .. I'm guessing someone made this gag already, but I CBF reading 4 pages of dramas.

TEAM: Rd 02 vs Carlton
He played there against Richmond and was near BOG for us by half time. He has the tools to play there and would be a useful option in there to develop with his ball use and aggression.

What the Opposition are Saying: Rd 02 vs Carlton
I mean it's better match discussion than anything on FTA/ch7 and more akin to fox footy pregame in their "war room" - not complaining.

What the Opposition are Saying: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Unless we return to our 2018 i50 conversion form, the horrible beatings will not continue. We'll be back to the 'Rely on Jordan Lewis to whack Cripps and regain momentum and overrun them' days of close encounters. Or who could forget the round 22 loss in 2016 when we had a chance to make the 8 with 2 games remaining. Yup, she could go either way nowadays.

Sorry mate, did a ninja edit because it was over a year ago, wrong info!- CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
From being an injury prone player? Might always be managing his knees.- MATCH SIM: Saturday 6th June 2020
I would just hope the club is prepared to gamble on a bank loan to pay his 2 years out at the end of year, if its more of the same on field for the next 16 matches. Banking on a new coach turn around and final$ windfall in 2021 would surely be more cost effective than writing off 21' just to "save" a big payout. - TEAM: Rd 02 vs Carlton
