Quietly Wrecker it is only half time.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Western Bulldogs
Hmm half time Petracca not worth a crumpet. Honestly if that is what we can expect for the future then let him go. He must be the worst player on the ground at half time. He has the stickest hands I have seen in a long while.

Came today to primarily watch a couple of players. Petrecca is one.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
It seems Buckley is keen, it maybe because he doesn't see us as a basket case. That being the case he gets the job. The other experienced head coaches don't grab me.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Correct DC. Even though I disliked him because he was at the pies he was a very good player.

NON-MFC: Round 22
Bloody predictive script NC, that's my excuse!

NON-MFC: Round 22
Thats down to the Players! in the last game they lost the un lose able and it cost SD his job.

NON-MFC: Round 22
I know how you feel Dundee. Lying in bed this morning it was, am I going or not! It's 9.50 and still no decision.

Spot on tu. Covered it perfectly.

Training Ground?
Are you sure Deezone, you seem convinced this will happen. The longer it goes without any decision the more I am concerned it will not get approval.
-
Training Ground?
Agree 100% deezone. However as far as this project is concerned it is concerning that the length of time this is taking just to get approval. With every passing day I get the feeling it is not going to happen. I know the wheels of democracy grind slowly but this is glacial.

NON-MFC: Round 22
I feel for the player but not Collingwood or supporters. I too remember that night and the chanting while he lay unconscious on the ground. That turned out to be Gus' last game his career ended by a thug. I will hate them until the day I die.

Training Ground?
Sadly in the best case scenario we will be at Casey and Goschs till at least 2030. I won't see us anywhere else. I will no doubt be in an urn before that changes. Let's just get on with it. We won a flag with the current set up. This is not stopping us playing in GF.

First you have to get the ball!

Charlie Spargo Contract
Wow! I am no Spargo fan, he is not that bad.

How you doing?
I am was proud but the last 12 months have been a drain. 7 wins from the last 25 games, a zero and 5 start to 2025 and then the horror of the 27th July. Then our coach hits us with there were good things in the last 4 minutes. That finally tipped me into disgusted. Change had to happen not because of that game in isolation but because it was the conclusion to a very very poor 12 month period. The die is cast and I have regained a little of the lost pride. Go Dees.

I don't have one but half a mill would see me smiling for months.

REPRISE by Whispering Jack
I was struggling to see us winning this before SG was replaced. There will no doubt be a few who don't give 100% on Sunday. A loss by 8 -10 is my prediction. What these next 3 games will show us is those who move on quickly and those who don't. The don'ts will then show us they want out. The reason we did it now and not in 3 weeks I guess. Gives the FD/ new coach more info on who to trade.

Charlie Spargo Contract
No he can go. However I have never been a fan. We need change and IMO he is one of the not required.
-
How you doing?
They get to average their earnings over a 3 year period so he will end up with a lot more than half.

How you doing?
10 days ago after that disaster afternoon of the saints game I said I was taking 4 weeks off from the MFC. I felt change was necessary but I was very surprised that it happened this week. I didn't go to the last game and have not watched it on replay. My decision is do I go on Sunday or not as it is my last chance to watch a game at the G this season? Do I need to see first hand how the players handle the first game without SG. I suspect a few will not have their hearts in this last 3 games of the season. In the end it was not the president, the CEO, the cheer squad or the members that cost SD his job it was the players. Am I going to the G on Sunday? No idea at this point.

What role did Alan Richardson play?
I have often wondered the same. He was Peter Jackson's pick which was ignored.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
It is barely 48 hours since the decision to replace SG was made. I seriously doubt there is even a group formed. It would have to contain the new CEO though what he knows about AFL coaches is debatable.
