Jaded No More

And then they bring out Toby Greene 🤮

It wasn’t that long ago Mark Neeld was coaching us. I will literally take Covid over those years!

In a shock twist he’s won the Rising Star. Scratch rising. Already just a star.

Jackson won the Rising Star. I’m shook.

Isn’t this his 5th time?

Coaches award > Brownlow One voted for by people who understand football, the other voted for by umpires.

Congratulations you absolute superstar. A beast, a contested footy machine, a warrior. Underrated by some, but not by those who understand the game best.

Word don’t do him justice. He is an absolute freak!

Neither. What a confusing award. How is it different to Rising Star?

Yep. Weitering has had a better more consistent season.

Weitering stiff. That backline has one actual defender. Good thing May is so good 😂

Lever and May both in. Well done to you both. Absolute rocks of our backline and well deserved!

Feel for JJ. Has been good all year. Deserves to play ahead of Sparrow IMHO.

We have the highest rates of child vaccinations in the world. Inherently we are pro vaccines and science and for those who aren’t, you can trust the government is make it as difficult as possible. Think no jab no play. It will be incredibly difficult to live in Australia without a vaccine by this time next year. And so it should be. I am sorry if you don’t believe in science. Tough luck. Immunity is a community effort and we all need to do what we can to protect everyone, especially those who really can’t get vaccinated due to age or other medical conditions.

Why would Yze go there? Seriously why would any unproven coach go there? They treat their coaches like trash. They need a big name with big clout to shut their board up and put some support around them.

Any idea if the rising star / AA / coaches award is going to be shown on Kayo and if so, what time?

Gladys > Buddy

Well done to those three. What a draft!

Joke of a club. I hate them and hope they fail for years to come, but gees you gotta feel for Teague. Hasn't exactly been awful and hasn't been given sufficient time either. To sack a coach after 2 years, they have to be Mark Neeld bad. Still feel like some strong assistants around him could have made a big difference... not to mention actual support from the club!

If he costs us peanuts (salary wise, he won’t cost us anything in a trade as he’s a free agent), then isn’t he far better depth than Mitch Brown?

When Tommo is back we do have the option to put Petty forward. But I agree our key position players are mostly on the wrong side of 29. Which is why I’m very strong on keeping Weideman.

Maynard would be a brilliant get. Replacement for Hibbo but also gives us a lot of options to push Rivers or Bowey to the middle or half forward.

Imagine… cases go down in Victoria… WA has an outbreak the week after the prelim… GF back in Victoria. Bam!

I think given Pfizer has just been made available to everyone this week, they can certainly make the game open only to those with one dose and a mandatory test 72 hours pre game and/or a rapid test on the day? And say 30,000 capacity? It could be a good trial for things to come once we open up more. But firstly we need people to sit the hell down and stay home and stop waiting so long to get tested! FFS Victorians be less dumb!
