I may be wrong Daz, but despite whether McVee has signed or is about to, I thought the famous wager between picket and GW was whether or not McVee was staying or going. If so, it sounds like picket needs to do some shopping tomorrow.

Time to cool the jets? Banters great, but when its getting more serious - not so great. Time for a bit of perspective, i think. No one is right or wrong at the moment. Just let it play out.

Let it go grasshopper, let it go.

Is it just me or is anyone else fed up with discussing NB? This is the Steven King thread. King won. NB lost. King was the best candidate. NB was not (and possibly not even second best for our Club). I could care less about some Tassie job that may or may not happen. This might have only factored into our consideration if NB was the preferred candidate. But he wasn’t so it didn’t. NB may need to brush up on his presentation skills before tomorrow. Good luck SK. Well done MFC.

Well, can I at least say “Great start Paul, impressed the hell out of me so far - now don’t f it up!”.

GW, I wouldn’t worry. If the guys don’t win, the gals most likely will!

Agree with your assessment of SM, but disagree on your last point about Buckley. In The CEO’s interview on 3AW Paul was very clear that King won - “we got our man” - the contest over Buckley, not because Bucks couldn’t commit but because King was the better candidate.

Very impressive leader. Loved how he shot the legs out from under Caro re her (obviously wrong) view of the treatment of Goody. Take that Caro!

Well i thought it was a great quiz - I'd never have gotten it. Thanks, and well done D. Look forward to many more (unspoiled) quizzes.

or is he the jinx?

What an absolute [censored] SM is. Making shiit up to justify his wrong prediction about Buckley being a Monty to win.

What IP wouldn’t King already have? I would be very surprised if they let him go before they finish their season.

Thanks D - the answer is obvious now - they all had a number on their backs!

Not wrapped in that comment. None of us know why there is a delay. There must be very valid reasons in either McVee's mind or the Club's. Let's wait to find out why before we ridicule Judd.

don't think so. They both stay imo.

Their surnames are featured in Stven King novels?

I would hope we got what we wanted - not the AFL. Great choice.

OMG these goals are fantastic!! I'm now ready for the '26 season. You should watch them D.

I'm sorry for Sestan. Perhaps we should re-hire him as our kicking coach.

Rumour: the umpires will be holding their formal end of season get-together the week following the grand final. It is on this night that they vote to see which team they will support next season.

I prefer Adam the unhinged god.

Haha @Ghostwriter . You and @Adam The God are both like my wife. She can also hold a grudge for 20 years no problem.

Seaton, TC. Been pushing for him all year, and just when in serious contention he got injured.

I’ve never backed favourites, and I have a solid dislike for most things Collingwood - but they are not good enough reasons to not select Buckley. However, I’m leaning towards James Kelly as our next coach. His record impresses me. Three time premiership player - so a winner. 300 odd games played - so had longevity. Been part of the successful Cats coaching team - including a premiership in ‘22. A renowned people person, and last but definitely not least, a Jim Stynes medal winner. Buckley cannot match any of these traits/ achievements - so I’m backing Kelly for our role.

T, I actually think there are two - the other one hasn’t played seniors but should have if not for injury.
