Surely its up to him when he SIGNS !!

Be surprised ( very ) if these only 😉

The move to lock these blokes in for another year looking quite shrewd now 😉 Starting to see method amidst the Madness

Starting to ponder whether we might have a seriously clever bloke in charge now ( well almost ). Very Schroedinger like.. started/not started .. lol I think the so called non footy background is maybe the best aspect. To be able to assess a situation without being encumbered by "well this is how you do it" types of thoughts will I think prove key in getting us sorted. His time sitting on the boundary as it were might have afforded him a different view than had ne been sitting among his footy brethren. He can obviously see our footy had become either underperforming or dysfunctional depending upon your bent. What he sees is a mess/problem to be sorted and sort it he will. He's already looking to isolate Richo. Smart move. Not that he would would ever be my choice but I now get why he wanted Watson. We as a club need to be better, different. Very much looking forward to see what we look like on and off field going into 26. Seems very purposeful this guy. Thats good in my book.

This bloke Guerra is quite the cunning fox me thinks 🤔

How... would he have worn yellow and carried a whistle ??

Just most of us quietly... ( if not for injuries)

Starting to like this bloke

I really wish Jayden all the best. Thanks for being a Dee. Go well young man.

Very happy for both to get another year. As we go through a "change" I can only believe we are much better with their experience and effort for the coming season than we would be without. I do sense there will be a decent amount of change on our list. Some natural , some not so much. Congratulations to the both 👏 Hopefully they can both impart some of their experience and work ethic onto the younger brigade. Kudos

Good stuff.... 👍

Just think 🤔 .. if he had only been still on the ground .. at times... in particular matches.. 🤔🙄

Please take tge well intended way.. Does he NEED to tell the world...... or just the Panel ?? He still has to fox/box clever in the bigger paddock just at the moment Id think.

Yep.. 26 is a sorting , building transitional type season imho. Get a few kinks out.... see what's what, who's who etc. Then keep structuring the A team off and on field for 27. We'll look and feel different at end of 26.. might attract a different ilk of player too.

Just aking who and how rate different? Cheers

Any link ? Cheers

Finally had a listen. This guy's ok. Fresh air 👍👍👍 Good luck Paul...

Now this is the $64 question. But perhaps a better question as opposed how are you going to 'fix' something...is... What are you going to BUILD and how are are you going to do it ?? For mine its the latter. Need to build an essentially new team. This ones worn out. There is the semblance of a new order coming through and imho that's what you take and build upon. Getting the duct tape out and slapping it around ... nahh !! I want a coach to create a new era side.

All you have to know 😉

Funny you say that.... an expat mate of mine ( a Dee tragic too ) watches from his US home. I mentioned the umpiring was ... well.. totally !%$@'d .. he also retorted.. a few came back too. The balance though firmly in their favour. He also saw what I saw... how often the umps were so super quick with their whistles they were practically prescient 😉

Understanding umpiring is actually very straightforward Red... its simple , it's black and white ....

Free Collingwood... obviously..

This won't be a popular idea as it will seem far too rah rah rah for some. I would be engaging some advice from Military Trainers. They are very well versed in what motivates and drives people. They also understand its not about training people to do "X" but its as much about showing people to reach beyond and attain "Y" . Qualities such as Resilience, Fortitude, Rapid and Lateral thinking will never go astray. Ideas about different forms of leadership, about self evaluation and development and I could go on. A sporting field , a combative sport , requiring both team and individual efforts... there are parallels. We seem very hesitant as a group. The idea of 'learnings' .. hmmm 🤔 Yes still much to learn... Someone suggested learning to win.... that's always a good one 👍

Doc is that the preferred priority ?
