Roost it far

I liked the pink colour that Schwab introduced with that logo shambles and the collar on our jumper…….oh and the Premiership cups on the back. What a deadset clown he was.

Same

You lost me at May/Lever and another flag

Petracca needs to learn to hit bodies again, I get why he didn’t want to this year and don’t blame him but it’s front and centre in his job description.

Here we go again

can you put the article up

I'm not ready to let that go either. :)

How ‘s the umpiring

You never know if someone is the man until they've proven it themselves. Daly is very highly regarded at Brisbane and by Premiership coaches Hardwick and Macrae who both tried to pry him out of the Lions to no avail. For mine the only thing Buckley's desperate for is a Premiership for Buckley. He may well work out but my fear remains, he's an ego driven bloke who I don't see giving this job the next 8-10 years of his life. He's the safe choice, a very Melbourne thing to do. Of course these are just my thoughts and in truth I know very little about any of the coaching options.

If that’s our team in Round one next year we’ll finish in the VFL. Kemp FFS!! If we recruit him as our FF I’m never going to the football again. Please enough already!

We really have no clue as to the workings of the negotiations. It appears there’s egos and the requisite ineptitude of both our club and this Kanga bloke.

Kelly doesn’t convince me, Daly was the man and we should have offered him coin he couldn’t refuse.

Feels like Buckley is our man. He better be committed over a decent time period as I don’t want some short term top up to try and pinch the missing piece on his CV. He appears an astute observer, well respected, has a pretty decent coaching record and besides being a Collingwood legend just might be strong enough to shake this club to its senses. I trust he’ll be reaching out to assistant’s to bring with him. Still feels a little dirty to me but I’ll back him in if he gets the nod.

I reckon we've just got to hang tight a few more weeks/months and we'll get a clearer explanation of how it works. Herald Sun articles need to be taken as little more than gossip.

There’s a tunnel off the roundabout on Kambrook Rd. Can someone put the article up?

I grew up on Robbie Flower and I just can’t go past him as the greatest MFC player I’ve seen. However for the ability to grind it out year after year Max has few peers, 8 AA’s, Captain of a Premiership side and those continual marks down the line make him likely to become recognised as our greatest ever.

Still No

No

I thought it was said that Daly would take over at Brisbane. Either way I’d have Daly at the front of our queue…..Have I said that before??

Judd is a really good player and I’d be disappointed if he left, as for mine we need more of his type not less. I get your point that players come and go so whatever but for mine he’s not a signature to be blasé about. Important piece of the puzzle. Get it done.

Richardson as an assistant coach? I can see why that's a better fit but it's a demotion?? Whilst I really like what Phil Davis has to say about the game and guys like Sloane and Bartel have their views do they have the runs on the board for what is essentially a job that involves overseeing an entire FD. It's a big gig and for mine needs an experienced operator. Hinkley would be a get for such a role.

Pretty confident the FD can come up with a late second early third round pick if they need to, probably more than one with what we have to trade/offload. You don't get to move up in a draft as strong as last years without paying overs and Lindsay will likely be worth every cent.

Where does that leave Richardson? Is this a quiet backhander to a guy who's contract we don't want to pay out but ideally we want gone? I'm really not sure Bartel has the runs on the board to take over what is effectively the running of our entire FD.

I won't surprise me if Melksham plays a few more.
