Personal circumstances - he clearly iterated that he loves the club and "the man and father it has made him". Clearly the coach has been a big part of this.

Trac unhappy with the "direction of the club" that has gone from top 4 to bottom 6. No 5hit Sherlock! Join the queue.

Just like how Kozzy went to Port and Petty went to Adelaide eh?

Amazing that, apart from Jackson and Bedford, every single one that we've wanted to re-sign has done so. How do you reconcile that?

I'd prefer Bergman but you can't buy what's not for sale.

I actually prefer the 3:20 Sunday - time to have lunch nearby and then get settled in.

Do you like Saturdays at 1:45, Sundays at 1:10 or 4:40? Because that's what you'll get.

Van Rooyen was subbed because he was ill and Gawn had a decent rest on the bench in the last with Petty rucking.

So the club is not worried about firsts because of the picks they "would get" if they did something that they are not going to do - that's some contradictory logic right there! Keep digging champ ...

Wow, Olympic Gold in back-pedalling there between those two posts - congratulations!

Kane should spend more time worrying about how Kenny and his brother are going to fail in finals yet again at Port.

That's not coming in until next year.

How come they've largely stuck around too then? Chaplin, Stafford and Williams all disagree with you. Only Yze left for a senior position.

Lingers, Leb, Kolt, Disco, Roo and Petts all seem to agree.

We need to give Laurie, Woey and AMW some continuity in the seniors. Hunter for Billings - neither are the future but we're playing enough youth. Petty played well again, he's had a good month. TMac has had a very good season and Hogan is a very good player but I wouldn't be surprised if Tom's last quarter horrors tipped him over the edge to retirement. One of Petty and Disco will play back next year and one will play forward until Jefferson hopefully establishes himself and they can both play back when May retires.

I read the comments on Instagram - so much hate for Simon. Seriously what is wrong with people? Great coach and the players agree.

I doubt they want Sparrow with Rozee, Butters, JHF, Wines and Drew. Their list is not missing much at all. I like Ken but it's a miracle he's survived this long. It'll take a top 10 pick because he’s in contract. I'd like to use this year's in the strong midfield draft. They may be willing to gamble on our F1 but probably want a sweetener too.

Is she bringing Left Shark?

Well she didn't sack Simon Goodwin like you wanted her to before the 2021 flag - that's about it, but it is something big.

Too true, i'll take the critics seriously when they link me to their posts slamming Petracca, Oliver, Pickett, JvR, Lever, Rivers re-contracting. We haven't missed Jordon and Harmes and Grundy had to go.

Gun player and I'm rapt if this is true.

Nice, but you're missing a triumphant SF in that set Luci.

There is 1 reason we got back to the top and it's the AFL. Jackson and Roos.

"KOD by the AFL again"

That was in Alice Springs in the daytime but I get the sentiment, it was a drubbing.
