Credit to the man. Legend of the club

Well it's not a terrible decision to keep a coach that made top 4 3 years in a row.

I do wonder sometimes if you all know what you are talking about

Strong words. Sacking him after the straight sets losses would have been harsh.

People didn't watch the game if they thought we didn't try. we did evertything possible to get back into it and if Melk kicked that last one who knows what could have happened. Thought we played really well at times.

What annoys me is the number of people on here that came out of the woodwork a few weeks ago to celebrate Pickett's signing and are nowhere to be seen now. It was their grand final and dont seem to care about where the list is going. They were ready to kill anyone who had something different to their own opinion and some even suggested it was a simple decision. Fairweather and I'm glad they arent in charge. When the new CEO comes in I want to see more considered contract offers. With free agency there is no reason to extend so long as the compo pick could possibly be better than something offered in a trade if their career goes bad. Game changes fast, the list needs to as well.

Insane take. We literally drafted him for his good kicking skill and run

That's rubbish

Why?

Yeah I don't think Malthouse saw it as a promotion It would be pretty stupid to make someone football manager just because of his relationships with players and not whether he can actually do the job. In addition to that, what new coach wants to join a club where the old coach is breathing down your neck.

A lot of people on here are full of it though. Look how many came on here to gloat when Koz signed and now are nowhere to be seen now that we're talking about the reality of our list. It was their premiership for the year. Long term deals give security but in an age of free agency they aren't always worth the outlay. People are afraid that we might lose someone for nothing when the truth is the compo pick might be just as good or better than what you'd get in a trade. The other thing is that they think we'll always be able to get the value of the player at their best. Who honestly saw Oliver's value plummeting when he signed his deal? I'm sure some happy clapper will be ready to launch at anyone suggesting we trade one of these guys, just wait.

It was a stupid idea in the first place and will thin the talent pool. Don't build a house on sand

$12.5 mil over 7 years is big. Doesn't matter which way you slice it. Think it's a great move by the club but not without risk.

Well done to the great man.

You seem to like making yourself look good on here. Few people thought Max was past it and Viney wasn't in our best last week. Reel it in a bit

We've put up with a lot of crap from the umpires

You can't make this garbage up

That's what we want Spargo. Suck [censored]

Another ****ty junk time goal

The umpiring has been [censored]

How many people honestly knew who our CEO was until this week? It's been a faceless role this year. How many other clubs wait for this long for a new CEO to merely start the job?

This smells of another poorly managed appointment. I am not feeling enthusiastic about it much at all. What new CEO needs a 4 month notice period from their current employer? Give me a spell. We needed someone to hit the ground running and spend most of the season getting up to speed.

I think people need to read the last page or two of this thread to see what they said last week. It borders on embarassing how people thought he was brilliant and the next big thing. Welcome back to Earth.

This is the cheapest trick on Demonland to cherry pick the first good game someone plays in god knows how long and call out the haters for doubting them. Agree that hr played a good game but wind it in a bit!

I reckon this kind of attitude represents exactly why we are 2-5. Easing off mentally leads to bad habits and I guess we can expect more mediocre performances then.
