The Jackson FIX

Maybe we do have a coach and we’re already working through his plan?

The irony that someone called ‘Nightmare Continues’ didn’t like this suggestion isn’t lost on me 😆

If we could turn Petracca into a windhager + first rounder (as long that is more like a 10 than an 20) and get the cap relief I’d take it.

Are you suggesting the practice footies with the special stripes on them aren’t working??!

Who won the Champion Data Expected Score award?? 🤞 😅

Finlayson axed at Port. What happened to him? He was one of their weapons like 2 years ago

Regardless of whether we’re open-minded in this process or Buckey is fait accompli, Richardson hearing from the top-rated assistants from across the league would be invaluable.

We specialise in players who are way too good for VFL and not good enough for AFL. Jump on board Riley!

People have already started arriving at Rhys Stanley’s farm for the coaxing bbq. Clarry promoted to tong master this time.

Welcome to the greatest club on the planet little (big) fella.

The irony of a premiership defender saying that about two soon-to-be premiership heroes isn’t lost on me. My favourite King-ism nowadays is when he visits one pre-season training session per team (Victoria only) and then parades around like a professional track-watcher at Flemington

SOLD.

Remember that really small window of time when some desirable players (Lever, Langdon, May) wanted to come to Melbourne? That was a nice time.

Flags are hard to win. Less than 6% of teams win one each year. I think it’s his job to use every available resource at his disposal to try and ‘pinch one’. Sadly there isn’t a risk-free strategy to win a flag, increasingly so for the smaller clubs.

He credits eating grass to his turnaround.

We should get Buckley to recruit Howe back with the promise to play forward in the twilight of his career only to play him down back at Casey

Running high half forward? First I’ve heard that is his ambition.

I reckon you’re 75% of the way there with one conversation with your list boss and recruiter: get me blokes who are elite kicks, handballers and decision makers.

I suppose what I am saying is that my bar for consistency is higher than 3 consecutive weeks. Some better signs, yes, but he has had stretches of a few good games in a row in the past and then disappeared for the next month.

Nas has signed at StK for $2m a season. Surprising. Odds of landing Windhager just tightened (still bloody long though)

his hands and attack on the ball have looked good recently but I find his effort and confidence is all over the shot as a forward.

What does this even mean?

Forgot about those two. Couldn’t take Treloar based on his body being cooked anyway. Top 20 player in the league only very recently though

I am trying to operate more from a world of reality, not fantasy.

I heard from senior execs at MRC a while back (1 year +) that the MRC and trust were all good with MFC coming on board but the dees just had to stump up the cash. “Someone needs to help pay for the new grandstand” was the comment (or along those lines).
