Top spot will be decided next week, Brissie are too far ahead after yesterday's win. Hopefully the pies next week kick a big score, even if brissie win.

gee, can't the underwood work out what team is what! bloody annoying calling the opposites constantly.

Yeah the 6 month contract has bene in for a bit, I assumed it went to all clubs not just those assisted. In the reports today their "leaders" said Ratten didn't have the structure within the club to help him succeed. Then why did they sack him and not fix the support/structure problems. Bit like when everyone wanted to sack Hardwick (Me too) they reviewed and changed his support and assistances and the rest is history. While places are limited why would you go there to coach.

So they didn't like his answers in a 7 hour meeting. They've said they don't want to be a 6 - 10 club. So I'm guessing he too blunt on what really lay ahead as after being resigned, when they were winning he thought they were on the same page? What do they think caused their late season slump? Draw, injuries to key's like Ryder etc. The players trust him. As for being "tough" or demanding enough. You can't demand more effort out of players if they don't trust you and according to reports they still do. I'm guessing this the a case of the board over estimating the list and what it can achieve, or is the list manager saying they should have gotten more out of the group this year. I guess after 2019 they expected to push deep into finals.

Nah, I think his name is the first thing that pops up whenever a coaching job appears. At least he's knows his way around the place, might still have his keys.

They'll some excited new rookies being picked by the saints next month, not... Saints had their problem but it looks like the board had concerns but never raised them so Rotten could respond during the season. he can get great efforts from the team and other times, nothing. Is that a culture thing at the saints? We have been through that late season collapse many times.

Wow, from a review? Most likely the you efforts between games as a major reason. But out of the blue, not even a leak before hand.

One of the few players I rue us trading away, the hardness we missed through the late 90s and beyond. yes there were non footy reason.

They obviously have a role in mind for him.On memory he's a great kick, so maybe feeding into fwd 50.

Isn't that some breach of the rules according to the AFL?

Best outcome given Freo's hand. Lets hope them and North have [censored] years next year. It will be interesting to see how he goes with the huge expectation on him now. As for Bedford, great potential, but a fringe player for the top 22, didn't sent the game on fire when he did play across 4 qtrs. So about right.

I think that was the best game by the team for 4 qtrs for the whole season. We kept the pressure up and didn't let them back in, albeit against a weaker team.

Intestine on trading day on fox. they said for both the LJ and Dunkley trades, they have asked for these players to come to their clubs and offered big contracts. It's really up to them to come to the party with the offer to finish the deal, even if they pay overs.

Can you trade for the no.1 pick in the PSD? I don't think its ever been done. That way if he goes there, we can just draft him back :)

What LJ can do, is have a tour of the WC facilities (They are very nice) to get Freo moving some more.

Does a role in the team and at times very well. But we don't know who approached who. If its numbers contacting him, why wouldn't you go listen to what they have to offer. I think on memories he was a Dee's supporting growing up, whether that has weight who knows.

Sensible decision on where he sits on our list and has own long term security. Like the guy and his run, but his decision making and skills at times let him down. WC want speed as they are sorely lacking it with their current group. Good luck to him except when he pays us.

Great Scott! It will be interesting to see what he can do with a wealthy club compared to the Roos. Yze will get his chance. Odds on there will be 2 vacancies next year, maybe more re: hawks mess.

Norm Smith? Isaac smith was good over the whole game.

How many will now retire now they finally got that flag..

where was the down to ground free for the swans!

I dont understand that running out of boundary rule that suddenly appeared in the 2nd half of this year, BB was the first time I've had even seen it paid.

at least they're trying to take he game on now.

What's the biggest winning margin in a gf? Might break it today.

Lets see what they do after the break. Swans are down to put in [censored] games, but today and not in the quali!!
