Confucius say "If team can't stop kicking behinds, behinds will get kicked".

We'd have to start calling half-time "intermission".

I think you're projecting. He could usher in a new era.

Obviously the team's feng shui is also out of alignment and their chakras need tuning. Kade needs to practice some "tai chandler" during training.

Can't they throw in Buckley for the quadrella?

You all need to stop reading every bit of football media. They just drag up the same old names for clicks and I suspect most of it is speculative, especially the stuff on X (formerly Twitter). I'll wait for when the new coach is appointed, whoever it is.

Next ones must be McVee to Fremantle and Petracca to GWS then. Who's off to the Suns and Hawthorn?

Yes, but that was their second-largest loss this year (Suns by 87). Collingwood only beat them at Marvel by 29, Brisbane won by 19 in Brisbane. Those teams must be terrible.

Very accessible for country supporters landing at Southern Cross station.

Sounds like waiting for another straw (the St Kilda loss) to be put on the camel's back before digging the boots in ... again.

At least the others have one-third of a brain cell, if my maths is correct.

14 hitouts to advantage is well above AFL average. According to Wheelo ratings, here's the HTA averages for 2025: Witts 11.1 Meek 10.7 O'Brien 10.6 Grundy 10.5 Xerri 10.2 Gawn 9.9 Nankervis 9.6 Goldstein 9.5 Sweet 9.2 Madden 8.7 English 8.3 Gawn's opponent on Sunday, Marshall, averages 6.8.

Whatever the question is, yesterday's coaches like Buckley and Longmire are not the answer. BTW, how have the Swans, North, Eagles and even the Saints gone with new coaches? Any better? (Not suggesting we keep Goodwin either.)

No, the exact opposite.

That's all very well, but the rage here against anything to do with the Deemocracy group, and the inherent support for board manipulation to retain the status quo, was palpable. Mostly from the same people whinging about the whole of this season.

The people who are complaining most vehemently here about the team performance and the club are the same ones who poured scorn on the alternative board challengers last year.

The members had a chance to stir up the club by bringing in some new blood and give the board a bit of a rocket at the last board election, instead they all voted for the status quo.

Your user name matches your misery level.

Have we reached peak misery yet or is there still some way to go?

Don't let Wanganeen-Milera run riot.

Let's try something other than kicking the ball to Wilkie.

We've reached peak MFCSS.

One difference ... I'm glad we've got Kozzy Pickett and not Jesse Motlop.

It's a small part of the general malaise of "ball butchery". Unfortunately our senior players, particularly the midfield and some of our stars, are the worst offenders.

Umpiring is a raffle. It's just that some teams and some players hold more tickets.
