I called him SOG, SON OF GOD. He was the best pound-for-pound footballer to ever play the game, both hands and both feet, a great mark. There will never be enough superlatives to say about him.

Poor McClure he's been wrong so many times it's now becoming boring he's trying to make stuff up to deflect the [censored] he has been saying.

You did watch our one paced lack of skills midfield didn't you?

The audacity of a bloke to go that deep into a process only to expect us to wait to see what the other hot chick has to offer. We have to start acting like we have more dignity than that. Hopefully this is another fail in a litany of Aussie rules failures for FIGJAM I look at another way Buckley was honest in his conversations with them, as they with him, as he was meeting with the Tasmanian officials on Wednesday, we chose not to wait, and that’s fair enough, and so they made their decision, no big deal.

The fact of the matter is that it's a game of win and loss, and how you go about it in the end matters for supporters. I'm more impressed that nothing had leaked, and also the fact that they looked past the media optics and selected a coach based on presentation and thoughts.

Well that shows how bad we are then.

MELBOURNE has made five changes to its AFL list, informing Tom Fullarton, Kynan Brown, Oliver Sestan, Will Verrall and Marty Hore they will not be offered a contract for the 2026 season.

Obviously you have never listened to Goodwin then...

You can teach body positioning, and you can teach leading patterns, and while forward instincts take time, you can at least make them competitive.

It's funny that I started to say these things in 2022 and onwards, as you could see the changing game styles that teams were starting to implement. Our midfield then was one-paced and lacked skills, and as the years have gone on, it has been shown to be correct. We had forward line problems then, and we still do now, so nothing has changed since then.

Singing from the same hymn book has been the way since '22, and now people can see that I hope for whoever is the coach. We get someone who can teach forward craft; that will be one of the biggest challenges along with the midfield overhaul.

Crows absolutely out-coached tonight and failed to make changes to slow the momentum.

Now I'm in the camp that if some club offered a good deal for Oliver, they should look at it. Still, the last 2 games he played were like late 21 games a bit more composure with the ball and better running patterns so maybe with a new coach and role he could reinvent himself into an important player again, as for Trac gee there is a lot of work to do with his kicking to advantage maybe more forward than midfield now it is all going to be interesting how things pan out.
