Oh boy, some real Annie Hall vibes coming through here

I think for a new coach - the thought of getting Oliver and Petracca back to where they were is so tantalising and worth the effort before abandoning next year if you see it not working for the vision they have.

So either a journeyman or an important player who won a team b+f? Oh I hope in this binary world - we get the latter. Or put more succinctly: 10011100101011100010100110110101010 That joke works on one level

I dunno mate … Jaded is still pretty bloody jaded

Finish year with Cats.

Night King but it’s the vibe

We decided to end our season early instead

Caroline literally got out of him that King won the role and not some timing based dissection that was implied in reports.

Ok then. Probably good we are not paying too much for a senior coach while we have such lacklustre players. We should let Pickett, Petty, Langdon, Langford, Chandler, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Gawn, Rivers, Lindsay, Sparrow, Windsor, Turner, Lever, Bowey, May, Howes, Culley, McDonald, Melksham, and Fritsch that they can just phone it in because there is no way to contend with this lot… Thanks fully tho, I don’t think King is such a weak kneed defeatist and can think of a way to get more out of what we have and play in a way that asks more from those that have it to give and draws more from those that haven’t had it pulled from them. The Pies rebounded from a successful era into a successful era, same with the Hawks, Geelong - at some point we can sit up and ask more of ourselves…

He did well. I hope someone can tell him that he can just say ‘ultimately the board decisions will be borne out with the outcomes’ because this ‘you can’t make decisions like this (firing coach, new CEO, new coach) without a unified board’… You can Paul, and plenty of entities have done that but anyway… The conversation around CP5 and Oliver being in King’s 25 players was an interesting one - definitely a hedge but also intimating that we are ready to work with what we have rather than push out ‘25 cents on the dollar’ and slide further down the ladder. I applaud it.

Adelaide. Won’t. Win. A. Quarter. This. Finals. Series. Wow. Has that ever happened before from 1st?

Honestly, what word is being censored here

His first big challenge will be to get some equally experienced heads for the lines and ball movement. If Chaplin goes to the Tigers will be completely bereft with only Jones with 0 outside experience in the club

Pretty attractive tbh

We made the right decision.

It is such a good question to ask at the interview - if we offered this to you tomorrow - would you take it. Kudos to whoever thought to put that on the sheet.

Yes but it inevitably has to be used and thus makes its value nought at some point

Yes, that someone has to eventually use And be left with the player that you don’t want but couldn’t move ‘the currency’ One player on our list comes to mind immediately

Great example of what my point is. The pick we used for Xavier Lindsay was originally ND9… so you might want to go back and redo your strawman

What’s that ND11 that turns to ND15 going to be? Maybe not even a back pocket

Why is that exactly? That pick ends up being ND15 and we take another flyer on a kid? McVee is worth more than that. Also those that know say the draft is weak so take that as you will.

If this was a pre-agreed fait accompli for Buckley as many intimated here - the panel is doing a good job of dissuading that notion. Maybe that is the point of it and the leaks of impressive candidates but I will take people at face value. I am content that an actual process is being run.

Good on you because I had no idea where you sat on the notion of Buckley as coach.

You know what, Engorged? It didn’t.
