cowboys very close to cooked for the year. Dak left the game due to a hammy and CD Lamb in a lot of discomfort with his shoulder. must win game next week v the Eagles but given all the injuries, we are long odds to make play-offs

Brilliant on field. great professional. He sustained a really bad injury so I hope he can return to his best for us. needs to find better counsel off field. His solo run to force a trade embarrassed himself and the club. It was never going to happen. I'll forgive him but i won't forget. That said, Kate and Pert have now left so his grievances have been somewhat vindicated.

If the AFL wanted North gone they would have done it already. Not going to happen.

Campbell and Gall are very promising but no way would I look to move Tayla on. She is still a quality player. The only proviso i would have is how committed she is to AFLW. I don't like her boxing while contracted to us. I totally understand she has to make a living and good luck to her but not on our dime. I'm not sure she was fully focussed during preseason and can't but think her injury was a result of a lack of preparation and/or boxing related consequences.

We should have an easier fixture next year which will help us to bounce back.

Bombers not losing this. early season injuries stuffed us Lots of positives though. Some very promising youngsters got plenty of game time. With a full compliment next year we’re well placed to challenge. go dees

we're done what we had to do hopefully the blues do us a favour this evening.

great mark and goal pisano

Purcell has been excellent. great to have her back in the team

wish the boys would play like this when they play the pies

we would have beaten the Hawks if Kate Hore was playing

Hanks has been very good so far

worse than BT and thats saying something.

Umps being kind to us

pies has lifted. kicked the last 2. get going Dees

Good start. Pies not looking too interested. hanks and mcnamara playing well

Fair comment

Delighted to hear of his positive impact around the club but not sure about the bolded. Our skills are not good.

The market for AFL CEO’s, or any other CEO for that matter, is small. Digging heels in and going against the grain isn’t a wise strategy from a future employment prospects point of view. Pert read the room and made the smart decision. He’ll be back in a job soon enough.

Houston Lions Commanders

Given all that went on over the last 12-18 months a clean break was the best course of action. Whether he was at fault for some most or all of the problems doesn’t matter. He was head of the organisation so has to take ultimate responsibility. He leaves with a flag each for the men and women on his cv. He had a very good run. He won’t be short of offers.

Whether he was pushed or left of his own accord doesn't matter All i'm interested in is who our next CEO will be. I imagine Steven Smith will be heavily involved in the recruitment given he'll inherent him/her as president soon enough

Constant calls for Jefferson to play. Hmmm. Sounds like our very own picket! So you’re Chris from camberwell@picket fence.

The best thing he did for the club was his review of the footy dept post 2020 which brought Yze to the club. Brough in a good coaching ticket to work with Goody. Delivered a flag as a result. I'm very thankful for that. Culture went down the toilet under his watch. Was obvious to everyone. Had to go as a consequence. Thank you Gary for your efforts. You'll always be part of the 2021 flag.
