Also was a star in the pies losing gf in 18. Looked cool under pressure

Good summary. He's a peninsula boy so personally moorabbin may suit him better. Wouldn't add anythong new.

This is a professional business. What's love of club got to do with it. If he's the best person for the role and offered he will grab with both hands.

Incorrect. He IS half an hour behind but being Adelaide , the year is 1957

Fully agree on Wallace and Cornes DD. I like the fact that they will admit if they are /were wrong, and have solid opinions - whether liked or not. Unlike many media fence - sitters - looking at you Nicky Dal.

Dermot brereton had a similar view to you w4 in that he believed trac had the wrong body shape for either midfield and kpp. He wasn't sure where his best position is. But a breakout year to be a judd martin etc is never going to happen unfortunately

They need it though. The Gold Coast is a sporting teams black hole. Never should have been contemplated by the AFL and this will be an ongoing saga.

Please expand. I'm not sure your statement proposal makes sense? Oh I forget - this is demonland

I saw that too. A brilliant bit of 'clickbait' by Channel 7 to hold viewers through the ad break. Sheesh.!

Half a Mill. for what he delivers? Has the world gone mad re: value?

And....?

Well said. Even these days visit sydney and still see how miniscule the swans vovetage is. I was there tecently and couted 13 pages of nrl before a seans article in the sunday paper.

Tigers will maul them.

I attended the Cats game on Friday night and felt the crowd was nothing short of embarrassing for Geelong. Plenty of west coast support. You could fire a shot through parts of the ground close to start. Now going to pies prelim with a smaller crowd but more that Friday's probably. I fear the atmosphere for a GWS GF. The AFL will have to do what they did in Week 1 and have amplified crowd noise when GWS kicks a goals.

Great post. Lyon is seen by the industry as a coach that gets good teams up to GF level. He does not take basket cases to do a re-build. Note Saints and Freo. He may see the Dees in this light. Good list that can be made great? And the Roos and Pert links

Yes it is hard to call. But I'm not hearing the football director over there and footy manager getting the Axe. Which is wrong IMO. But 1 is Premiership teammate of Goodwin, the other a long term team mate. Who Knows?

Nailed it.

You're kidding right? As ceo i expect pert to be involved in all aspects of club. Especially given his own playing background etc. Good signs. No sacred coes.

Agree with this comment above by Kelpien but Geez Jade - tell us something we don't know. Was obvious for all to see this year.

No its not. Richardson knows the job. I like the way the club is so far handling outcomes of review. I'm happy to wait for AGM and a full report

I suspect the inner sanctum of the Board/Executive/Richardson knew the role but needed to allow some to leave first to free up the responsibilities before announcing a role for Alan that intuitively means a number of others will be moved/or move on.

Top notch coaching by Buckley last night. Down to 2 in last 1/4 with 4 goal lead managed perfectly. If only we had those types of thinkers inside Dees box.?

He got heavily involved with medicos ( not in a good way) when jack had his foot problems. he;s not a doctor and should have stayed out of it. This was the early debacle I am referring to.

Fully agree. putting the club second.

Thanks for the comments on this. If Buckley can change, anyone can. I have faith in Pert and the Board not to sit on their hands after this year ( and last year's heroics)
