Red But Mostly Blue

😂🤣🤣😂

Geez the bombers really have gotten off quite lightly (compared to us) with the actual exodus of players (not just the rumoured, baseless drivel we had to face from the media for a few years, without any notable departures). Imagine if we had their level of departures? Caro et al would implode.

Ah man just realised that’s ANB’s third straight, straight sets exit from finals. Poor guy, that’s rough 😬

The only horror I want to see now is that inflicted on our opponents.

Yep! Not only did he play there towards the early part of their 20+ year ridiculous run, but he has also coached there. Would, and should, certainly know a thing or two about standards and culture.

King has an impressive playing and coaching record. He may or may not have the 'clout' of Buckley, but that does not really matter. If he can bring all of that experience, footy knowledge, together with the standards clearly evident (yes, with some exceptions, as with any club) at the Cats, we are gonna be just fine. I think this is a solid appointment. We could very easily have just appointed Buckley as the 'obvious' remaining established coach on the list, but we didn't. Let's do this. Hoping the Cats go no further than the prelim (because yuck) but also so he can get to work!!!

Perfect sentiments across the board. All the best SparGOAT. Integral part of our premiership success.

Maybe he's a better funny man than a coach?

I can't wait to see him out there. I reckon 2026 will be his year, and he deserves it.

Ah well there go the doggies 🤣

haha if it gives you any comfort at all... I used 'lawyerly' as I don't hold a practising certificate. So, legal qualifications only, although I do work with legislation.

As a lawyerly person (and there are many on here), the bit I am most interested in is: "...now i am going to log out of demonland". Now, words are pretty powerful (topical in this case, with what is said to another human being during a game of footy, as part of one's employment, at the workplace...). Anyway, yeah words are powerful, even if the English language is pretty clumsy. But in this case, and I will carve out the important bits that I think (should) reflect precise, unambiguous statements of intended action: "...now...log out" Not later. And not just close the browser. Log OUT. Admittedly he didn't say forever (one can dream), but still, I never log out of here lol Let's see if Farnsy takes the hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s for another spin!

Looks like there is an opportunity for a 'straight, law abiding [hard-working] white anglo m[e]n' support group/crowdfund?

I didn't think TMac would re-sign for 2026 (although I was hoping he would, because he has been good, often v good). Maybe there is something to the May talk, and that has motivated TMac to hang around another year. I doubt we would give up Lever AND May - but if May were to leave, and knowing that Lever has not been able to stay on the park (fit) for sustained periods of late, we would need experience in the backline. Petty, Disco, Jed (?? - wish we had seen him) etc are good, but will benefit from guys like Tmac.
