The Jackson FIX

Plenty of example of plays like this that don’t come off in year 1 but they settle and turn out ok.

Do all high tackles/bumps that go to the tribunal get classified as ‘rough conduct’ as Kozzie’s has?

That’s not true. I think a) the style of football that group was built to play is becoming less effective in the modern game and b) there are ENORMOUS question marks on whether the two most critical players in that mix will get back to anywhere near their best. That’s why I’ve given up on them. They need some help.

You’ve got your head in red-and-blue sand if you think we don’t have significant issues in the middle of the ground.

Was playing his best footy - as were Freo - when he was rucking one-out with Darcy on the sidelines… was shocked they paired him with that no-name ruckman last night (although we should go after that no-name given the state of our back-up rucking situation)

Will be a very good player when the consistency comes but by then Windsor will be a star of the comp.

You can doubt it if you want and I don’t care too much if you believe me or not but I know that is the amount he’ll make this year from it (and related partnerships)

It doesn’t really work like that, he has runs on the board.… Kouta is running for Lord Mayor 20 years after he last kicked a footy

What have I missed in the last 24 hours?? Two days ago things were settling. Yesterday it was announced he would appear on ch7 pre-match (which was a completely weird way to break silence) and then he renege and now Sam Maclure is spouting cr*p about him demanding a trade… are we all just being overly-sensitive?

He’ll make roughly double from non-football-related social media than he does from his football contract this year.

Thank you! Someone who understands me

The man we’ve been waiting to hear from coming on the telly at 7pm before the game… perfect way to reward those loyal Dees fans braving the rain and heading to the ground 🫥

Gomez Addams one would be a real collectors item if Norf had any supporters

I reckon Tim Lamb would be quietly happy with this outcome.

We’d have 36 tall forwards on the list, we’d have KPIs centred around ‘kicking the bloody thing’ but there would be ongoing indecision about whether the coach is the right person for the job.

I’m pragmatic and understand the value of a higher draft pick but a win is more important this time around in building belief for this group and giving them a sense of unity before they head into their next pre-season

People who measure leadership by media presence are naive. Eddie McGuire’s loud mouth shouldn’t be our benchmark for successful presidential leadership. There are a lot of complex things happening in our club right now. The Lawrence stuff, finding a home / lobbying for funding and all the player stuff we’re well aware of. I couldn’t confidently say she is a good or bad leader but that is because a lot of those items are unresolved. I’ll judge her when those items are resolved OR if they aren’t resolved soon. I won’t be judging her on how often I hear her voice.

Lynch makes a lot of sense… huge money owed to him on a back-ended contract so we’d need to cough something decent up if we want them to help pay.

I’ve read enough of Demonland to be CERTAIN that this development means our dynasty window has re-opened.

Why would Richmond want Trac/Trac want Richmond at this stage of their re-build?? Makes close to zero sense. I think the media, the public and apparently Demonland just enjoy talking about the hypothetical.

Clubroom-kitchen size remains a sticking point… inconceivable he can braise ossobucco for 18 in there PLUS fit the camera crew in

Small detail but I would’ve put him in a red shirt today…

Wright confirmed not returning to Collingwood. How long before the ‘Wright IN, Richardson OUT’ chat begins?

The hypothetical-irony is not lost on me that Collingwood was the car that crashed into Trac (after another car from their fleet ended Brayshaw’s career less than 12 months earlier) and then Christian slips across to the dark side complaining that the Dees didn’t look after him

Deal.
