Well it ain't working.

In my view he is poor match day coach. If the other team is winning he hardly ever makes a change. Just keeps doing the same and expecting a different result. When the other side gets a run on he again very seldom changes anything.

Zero chance of that happening. Making the GF is beyond his ability.

Sorry dr. I could not help myself. Point is there is no chance he will be the coach for 8 years without a flag.

What's that got to do with Goodloss and the MFC? He won't get 8 years without a flag at the MFC.

Sadly I don’t share your enthusiasm od.

Shows what we all know that the only forward to get a look in is Frisch with 2.

Just sprayed my coffee all over the table!

Until there is an effective vaccine I cannot see crowds being allowed into games in Victoria I.e. if we have any games here. I am in the kill zone of the virus and I am simply not going to big crowd events. Will need a miracle IMO for our lives to return to the old “normal” in 2021. I will just have to be happy with 1 in 3 games on FTA tv. I live in hope that this review / discussions by the clubs On the AFL produces some changes. It is time for a new crew at HQ level the old boys club must go. The future needs people who are not wedded to their high salaries and perks. As an example the number they took to QLD for the finals is ridiculous, half that number should have gone for half the period.

Over the next two years IMO it will be vital to remain financially viable, even more important than winning a flag. We are currently not reliant on AFL assistance. We need to stay that way but as you say I can only see a drop in memberships next year. The really bad part is we cannot afford paying out contracts.

I feel the MFC should give North a hand. Among other things they now have no coach. We should loan them our coach for the next two seasons. Seems only fair to me.

For North? You beauty!!!

Amen to that chook.

As they say DJ every cloud has a silver lining. The only way that GCS and GWS will be disbanded is if Gil is replaced. Gil would lose too much face if he is in charge.

After the failure of our merger I don't think there will ever be one in the future. What will probably happen is a club will get into the Fitzroy position. The AFL will take it over and either move it or close it up.

Not while we have Gil in charge. We need a new chief from outside the current old boys club. Someone who does not need to save face.

As much as it grieves me to say but being finiancial sound may be the biggest element of the next couple of years.

With luck we might get some people running the game who are outside of the old boys club that runs it now . It is vital over the next couple years to have no or low debt. Clubs like North Melbourne must be close to extinction. Makes the need to offer members something extra if they want reasonable numbers.

They can have him, way too inconsitant. Plays a good quarter then vanishes.

Its called money!

We have seldom played hard ball with players like him. I will be surprised if we don't agree to fair deal for both sides. We seem to have a good relationship with GWS I don't see us doing an Essendon and asking for way too much.

Why if it comes with a large debt.

Where does that leave Carlton, are they going to have there own seconds team?

But we have to want him and I don’t think he suits our game style. We don’t seem to be able to hit a leading Weideman let alone another of the same type. And why do North want him out so badly. Something does not ring right with this one.

It wasn’t him, trio of Michael Warner, Jay Clark and Jon Ralph. I think they are the only ones with deep enough pockets.
