Very Jaded

So he would rather North than us? Stuff him then

No doubt Jake wouldn't think twice about leaving his two daughters behind and moving interstate. The man is trash.

Because he's not interested in coming to us, or because it's unlikely we will meet Port's demands in a trade? I wonder how much Port will soften now that he's all but requested a trade. They would think we would finish below Carlton next year, making our F1 more appealing, and if we can get another 1st rounder via Brisbane or by packaging up the pick we get for ANB, we might be getting closer to the mark.

Soft cap will only be an issue if we remove someone from the FD who is contracted, aka Richardson. If we don't, then we shouldn't have issues with our soft cap. Goodwin is not exactly the highest paid coach around, and losing Stafford and McQualter has opened up cash to pay new assistants.

Humiliating them is the only way to go. Beating them by 1 point will give them excuses to say they should have won. Belting them will leave them with no doubt that we are much better than they are.

He'd be liking the bank balance

I reckon if we can get the Lions first round pick for pick swap to help them with points for Ashcroft, that he might look to trade that pick and a F1 for Houston which would trump Carlton’s offer.

It opens up a role for someone else, who is looking to step into a senior position, as our midfield coach is generally the '2nd in charge' on gameday and runs the box. The last two men who had this role ended up in a senior coaching position shortly after. There would be lots of great assistants who would love this same opportunity. I would like to see Cameron Bruce offered that role, but I am sure there are others.

Well done to him. That's a fantastic achievement, and once again one of our own has been appointed a senior coach. Speaks volumes about our ability to develop assistant coaches and give them the rounded experience they need to become head coaches.

Missed half a season after injuring his shoulder wrestling a teammate in a drunken off season incident. Then sulked about missing the grand final. Not exactly leading by example.

I’m all about THE BRAND

But, topless pictures of him would grow our social media presence immediately 😂

Ruckman are the least important part of a premiership team…. Unless you ruckman happens to be Max Gawn (or Dean Cox). Many teams have won with mediocre rucks who just gave a physical contest, and Sydney would have lost just as badly yesterday if Fort was their ruckman instead of Grundy.

A big shout out to the Big O. Carried himself beautifully in the face of real adversity. The pure joy on his face was really great to see, as well as the way he celebrated with Fort. A wonderful teammate. Total opposite to Mills who had a year to forget from a leadership standpoint.

As I watched the grand final yesterday, I said to my dad how I would love to inflict this sort of humiliation on the Pies in a grand final. That would truly be the best revenge.

Daniher gone (?), Neale, Zorko and Andrews another year older. They’ve gone close many times and failed. It’s been a long while since we’ve had back to back premiers, because backing up has never been harder in a season so long and so demanding.

If ever there was a year to do it, this was it. Such an even season. Top 4 made up of seriously flawed teams.

I’m so sorry to everyone on Demonland who said Grundy and JJ will help Sydney win a flag.

But everyone would tell you that Longmire is 10 times the coach Goodwin is 🙄

@Adam The God you were right about Sydney being the worst minor premiers in a long time

You would lose your absolute mind watching Daniher play football (RIP Maggie)

Their forwardline is not the issue. Their defense is and their clearance work. No idea why they didn’t play Adams. They have too many outside mids who can’t win their own ball when the heat is on. Grundy has the second most clearances for them currently.

I suspected Brisbane would control clearances and Sydney would struggle to defend their potent forwardline.

Correct. He ran to the mark did not go over it. A horrible horrible 50. So costly.
