Fork 'em

I feel many coaches are thrown on the scrap heap too early after unsuccessful stints. When I say that I mean that they may be disguarded as viable options when their 1st appointments don't go as planned. They learn what might have gone wrong at 1st club and make sure the same mistakes aren't made again at second and 3rd clubs etc. Williams has that much experience around football clubs it's not fuunny. He understands what motivates players and what doesn't. He's learnt over many years how to be a man manager. Learnt not to sweat the small stuff that comes with being an AFL coach. Has that no BS persona. Love the fact he's with us.

Mithen gets smashed because she goes in hard and the oppostion knows she's dangerous around the goals. Hanks wll also find herself under more pressure soon as well. Also small but provides so much drive from the middle. They're gonna have their hands full with Zanker though. Big strong girl with clean hands in the middle who can run all day. Very tough to match up on.

I'd sure contemplate Hanks in the midfield. Ball magnet with great disposal. Ripped off with that goal.

Same. The skills might not quite be there with the womens game but the competitive spirit sure is. Love watching them play and seeing their enjoyment of the game.

Great team win tonight. Zanker and Hanks awesome. Gotta say though .... Cunningham is hopeless. Have only seen her do a couple good things over several years of footy. On a side note. My anti-football missus had no option but to watch as I wouldn't let her have the remote. Later in the game she declares "There are alot of pretty girls in your team." Me - "Ahhh ..... Yes there is." Lol.

Ahhh yes .... Yearly dose of pre-season propaganda. Can't forget this one from a couple years ago. Or the atrocious season that followed.

Just no injuries please.

We'll have to agree to disagree. If he was better he'd hit more forward targets out've the middle and kick more goals. Does have length on his kicks but boots in hope more often than not. I'm not sold that any of our mids have really good disposal. Not even Trac.

If Oliver could kick he'd be higher on the list.

Beat the team who have won 3 of the last 4 premierships. Demon flag imminent.

A disgrace is both Facebook and Twitters monetary backing and censorship manipulation to allow this dementia sufferer to be the so called Leader of the free world. The hero of the Looney Left in all his glory.

Just read the usual suspects posts here for an idea. If you can stomach the santimony.

Those casting stones from glass houses need a reality check.

Maybe you should take a leaf from the BLM playbook and use this excuse to riot, score a new TV, bash a few white folk and burn down the MCG. The lack of self awareness and hypocrisy of the preaching Left is astounding.

Agree. As if multiple board members didn't read the prepared statement and give it the go ahead.

Eddie's always been little more than a Collingwood groupie hanger on. I recently picked up Darrens Millanes tribute book 'Pants' at the local Op shop for $2. Maguire was a reporter at that time and often attached himself at players favourite haunt The Tunnel. Eddie was drinking with Millane the night he died.

Hope it rubs off on his team mates.

Yes .... Pretty sure he turned up already with Osteitis pubis issues. Or started suffering very soon after.

No they don't win 3 flags wthout Martin. Be lucky to win one. Saw Brendan Gale recently tried to write/re-write history by declaring they would have taken him at 1.

Every-one's a genius recruiter with 10yrs of hindsight. 5-6yrs ago Martin shopped himself around for big coin and got no takers. Still a loose cannon. I think it was the rocket he needed to prove every-one wrong. Would the same thing have happened if we picked him up ..... Who knows.

Scully was a ball magnet in the TAC with questions on his disposal. Martin has turn out to be a gun, Fyfe and Gawn as well who both went much later. The rest of that years selections against Scully are debateable.

I find that hard to believe TBH. I've got cancer and am dieing .... Now I need to know what you're going to do.

I think Sheedy is more to blame than Scully. After being snubbed for our vacant coaching position he went after vengance willing to pay any price for it (With GWS salary cap). Scully made a smart business decision taking their extraordinary offer. Gift horses like that don't come along every-day. His only crime was not being straight up with Stynes. But he was a kid in a high pressure/scrutiny environment. Mistakes get made.

I also remember him saying our young list was comparable to Hawthorns at the similar stage when he come over.

Same reason media outlets go with any headline these days. Will it make good clickbait. I'll bet they couldn't wait to run with it.
