The Jackson FIX

I’m with Gator. He is clearly a poor set shot at goal but oddly his field kicking is pretty good

I didn’t think the umpiring was a factor at all

Both sides last night looked quick. But Adelaide kept thumping the ball into a Collingwood wall across half back or when they kicked it deeper there was congestion and Collingwood were well set up to deal with it. Conversely, Collingwood often had a Pagan’s paddock type set up with Elliot (or other) running into an empty forward line . Or, when they dumped the ball onto the boot deep from stoppage it seemed to find one of their players cheating out the back. Haven’t seen the stats but is Collingwood just able to force the turnover and move it quicker than other sides?

Wouldn’t imagine Adelaide would be offering up overs for McVee, he’s a small piece in their puzzle.

We can’t afford anything. We need to get rid of big names, not attract them.

where is the line for the soft cap drawn? Director of football included but ‘head of strategy’ not? Feels rortable. Jimmy is from Geelong, he’ll bring his rort book

I’m not on board with the narrative that Oliver is now the good guy and Trac still isn’t. One brought the club to its knees because of extremely poor personal behaviour. The other sustained near-fatal injuries representing our club and had ongoing trauma from that. I’m glad Oliver appears to be pulling his in but the ongoing pile-on on Trac isn’t cool. I have a pragmatic view that it is worthwhile considering trading Trac but that has nothing to do with his attitude or behaviour.

We finished 14th and have a gap in the critical 23 - 27 year old bracket as wide as the Grand Canyon. Yet Wade Dersken and Max Heath appear our main targets. One of two things is happening. 1. We’re great at concealing our trade intentions 2. We’ve got bugger all room to manoeuvre with our list/tpp. I’m betting the 2 🙋🏻‍♂️. Time to pull the trigger somewhere

Interestingly (well I thought it was interesting) he doesn’t create his recipes, someone does it for him. He’s like Milli Vanilli

I think protecting their exorbitant salaries is their #1 priority

He could be the next Nat Fyfe if his hands get stickier in the off-season

Is that because he had to repeat grade 5 several times?

The conspiracy theories around Caro / AFL / Gale being in cahoots are tin-hat ridiculous.

If he is truly on the fence I’m thankful Caro is surfacing that now. It’d be a distaster if he turns it down late in the process and all of the decent assistants have pulled out because they assumed it was a one-horse race. If he isn’t on the fence and he/Melbourne are all in then we don’t need to worry about what Caro says.

I often think about that and during our short-lived period of dominance always watched for signs of similar arrogance during the team song. Really didn’t like it.
