At this rate, Buckley will have to coach… …Carlton

It won’t be for spoils over the line. So it will diminish midfields slightly that are reliant on clearance but not overly. Also Max’s superpower is his marking and his workrate, not his tapwork.

Who is we? I would tell him he is going nowhere so get your agent to ready some quotes about wanting to stay. And what a callous bloody outlook you have. Footy may be a business but how you treat people and care for them is literally what the people that turned this footy club around preached for years. Paul Roos made a brand out of it and we have so abandoned that ‘care’ that we don’t even know what makes a good club anymore. Let’s hope Guerra, King, Smith, and whoever replaces Richardson give a flying f.

And you don’t need to show respect but your opinion can be called categorically wrong. That is also an opinion. It all so pathetic how the petulant children on here forget to mention what precipitated the ‘petulant Petracca’… A near death experience that was poorly handled by our own admission and a stagnant FD that has seen a near total broom being swept through the place with more to come when contracts are up at the end of 2026. So I don’t really know what the f the Petracca haters are on about tbh. You think it was unfounded? Show me the receipts because everything we have done has vindicated his opinion and his actions to escape - except we pulled the trap door ourselves.

Caro doesn’t like non-footy people in footy. So she will immediately see Guerra as a failure waiting to reveal himself, and hence questioning of Ponissi who would be exalted space in sports admin in Australia. Helps to have Bellamy there but he would know what a leader looks like. Again, I would pay it little heed. So no spending of heed. Keep your heed in the… bank?

I’m sorry, you stroked how many members?

What more do you need, mon?

Well I would trade Fritsch but that is a different conversation. Our defensive structure is important when we get it down there - but I am happy to lose 10 Inside 50s if we make more of the I50s we do get. I think we have dined at the alter of repeat entries and come up hungry the last few years…

Can you please not connote speed of ball movement into the forward line with having speedy forwards. Being a good forward in a team that moves the ball quickly is about exploiting space and using the urgency and intensity of what is happening up the ground to get space from your opponent. JVR is not slow, but he also asks nothing of his opponents and doesn’t know how to exploit space to get the ball. Our best forward for a few years now is Jake Melksham and I hope that sinks in with people what it means to be a forward.

They wanted us to compete for Buckley with Tassie and draw direct conclusions on us, Nathan, Tassie etc. Buckley and our appointment are making that difficult so there are frustrated. I wouldn’t give it much heed. But I would applaud people like myself who were pushing for a process and not an all-in on Buckley that would have gone pear shaped…

He is a forward. I can’t tell you right now that we have a player above 188cms at the club who is a forward. There is very little instinctually smart forwards at our club that would straighten us up and exploit space. This would be a signal to the group that we are going to give it a shake and to get on board.

They’re on holidays. Season is over. What more can he do? This report - even if it is true - is subjective claptrap from players who gave less than CP5 in 2025. Giving the players a fresh start applies to all the players not just the ones you like or ‘accept their behaviour’ toward the club. We are not getting value in a trade - we have to prepare for CP5 to be around in 2026 and my request of King is to leverage the power and of Christian and play him in roles that are moulded to his strengths. CP5 having bad body language because of the lack at we kicked into the forward line is not a fireable offence. And I am getting sick and tired of the usual trolls on here that ‘hate’ Petracca but will be the first losers with a sheepish grin if has 30 and kicks 3 in Kings debut next season. Show some bloody respect.

I was making a pointed facetious remark about the Comms and Media teams performance. Guerra seems to be earnestly answering questions and I applaud that.

Since he is not from The Footy World © , he probably doesn’t know Kane is baiting him. And with our media team - he would be blissfully unaware and unprepared and earnest.

Yes there were a few on here decrying the process that was a waste of time that inevitably chose our current coach. So glad we had that process yeah? And I honestly couldn’t care less about what the DeeBrief Bros think about much of anything.

and that joke works on two levels

Yes, and also we don’t know how the question was couched or that part of the interview was approached - even with my comment in this thread - it was careful language. Plans change, he isn’t at the club yet and our current FD and list manager will be making decisions, with his opinion affirmed of course, but with him not at the club yet.

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.
