The Jackson FIX

Sadly he won’t be able to bring with him the Sydney Swans academy (which yielded Blakey, Gulden, Braden Campbell, Heeney, Callum Mills etc in his era for chips) nor a 5 goal home advantage every week.

He sat N Daicos on the bench for the first 10 minutes of the game whilst hawthorn walked in 2 goals. He may be overestimating his own tactical genius. Which warms my heart.

From memory wet toast were the biggest Covid sooks, even though they had a better run at life than vic teams.

Can confirm; username management is an emotional rollercoaster

Campbell in… will they rest Max? Wow that’ll be a big, avoidable cluster.

Will likely Buck if things don’t go his way

Bloody great news and convenient too - I’m still looking for my car in the carpark after the Wiz kicked on of the greatest goals of all time. Likely still here by the time the boys are back for training

🙄

That one has the potential to get ugly - Port front runners and don’t have a whole heap that STK would want with Butters hanging around another year.

The Positive Lingers era was the high water mark of the greatest period for our football club that I’ve witnessed.

I’ve got 3 young kids - I’d be happy to commute to Phillip island for the peace and quiet

Sounds like our gameplan

Or a bridge between the ‘coach in waiting of the youngest club in the comp’ to the ‘newly appointed coach of the oldest club in the comp’.

I actually quite like him on radio but he comes across as a huge Dees-hater

They would know both but I know neither.

The person this came from knows a lot more about what is going on than you do, that is a fact. Whether they are telling the truth or bending the truth I am unsure.

Hearing pretty strong mail that Buckley is locked and loaded but I don’t understand how we can afford him if we have to absorb $1m in the soft gap for Goodwin next year? Is it backending the new coach’s salary (which could screw us in future years) or do we just have a very small budget for assistants?

Was said caller Johnny from Epping?

Heard more than one whisper that the Dees have Buckley lined up and locked in. From some relatively trustworthy types. If it is Nathan, odd they pulled the trigger on Goody like this though… surely it could’ve waited till season end.

Montgomery or Skipworth to coach with Longmire as Head of Footy would be a nice outcome I think.

I’d like Bucks too but I think he is chest-deep with Tassie already

Ange Postecoglou. I believe he is available.

Glass half-full would say we’ve fairly successfully modernised our game plan with large parts of the list not particularly suited to the way the modern game is played. Blooded some potentially elite young players, we now know the holes we need to fill and we are in a position to be bold in the offseason, with CEO and chairman stability on its way. For clarification, I’m glass half empty like you though.

I’d take that in a heartbeat.
