Good points @YesitwasaWin4theAges. Footy isn't that complicated. Good footballers make a good coach, great footballers make a great coach. Truth is, Carltank haven't got that many good footballers, let alone great ones. Like numerous other clubs, WCE, Ninethmond and Flogmantle spring to mind, they are paying the wrong players the wrong money. Serves them right. Most clubs have an inability to accurately assess the quality of their list. Been going on for 100 years. I once heard a very respected senior coach say he didn't get a new job at another club because he told the selection panel that their listed sucked and he'd have to undertake a renovation. That mob is still nowhere near it. One of the reasons I respect Goody (and I used to be a critic), after 2019 he saw the list needed serious renovation and pruned hard and fast. Spring and summer arrived very quickly after that treatment.

Sheeze - Buckley had a premiership in the bag with 90 seconds on the clock. Average (ish) side at his disposal. Recon he can coach. Odds on to be at GCS I recon - and deliver a finals appearance.

What they are saying at 'The Bank'!!
No worries @Lucifers Hero . Happy to share this mission critical responsibility with you. It was funny, when you gazumped me a few years ago I was a bit miffed - a rolled-up ball of resentment for years. My psychotherapist recommended I quit D’Land. Did that at 7pm one night. Nothing changed. So I rejoined at 7:05pm. I remember one weekend – quite a few years ago, when a poster presumptuously posted their three-word player analysis and ‘Land went into a meltdown because @joeboy's turf was being trampled on. I heard NBN Co called @Demonland and issued a cease and desist notice. Anyway, happy to share this onerous responsibility – especially when we play GCS and GWS. They are short weeks! As you know, it’s quite time-consuming aggregating the big-game data, and I’ll need a couple of dayz off work to do the Flogmantle game. Enjoy Q'land my friend. I've heard they're getting colour tv soon. JPM.

Kane Cornes' Top 5 Players
It's a good list (not) - however I cannot understand how he cannot fit Max, Trackta, Carry, Gus and Chandla into the top five.

And loving it. They've got Taranto and Hopper and no draft picks for the next 3 years.

I'll tune in tomorrow to see what Kane Cornes and Matthew Lloyd say. They generally have 15 players each in his top 3-5 in the comp.

Nah @WalkingCivilWar . . . I wasn't happy with a 15 goal win. And a few other things while I'm at it . . . Who's responsible for not resting May, Viney, Max, Chandla, Trackta, Langers, Lever, Hibba and Schache last night - cos they are clearly all gassed? Why arn't Footscray and Colonwood pay'in more than 750K a year towards Lauchie and Brodie's costs? And who the hell at Melbourne didn't draft Larkey in 2016 when he eventually went at pick 73? Pathetic the lot of them.

Nothing against Clarkson, but he would say that wouldn't he? Takes the heat off Nth and places the focus onto the Deez. He's an ol' stager alright is Alistair. I counted four players that probably are not AFL standard and would struggle to get a game elsewhere, and a further four that would probably only get a game at the bottom four clubs in a 'break glass in emergency' situation. So yes, it would look like 10 Deez players are AA standard when you coach a team with such a handy cap. The good news is that there are probably 6-8 players at Norf around which a formidable side can be built. It's going to take time. Reminds me of where the Deez were in '81 when Brasso returned. There were only eight players that made it through from '81 to '87 when we made the finals for the first time in 23 years. And Norf's eight players in 2023 are much better, comparatively, to ours. So it's a long trek - but they have commenced the journey and have begun constructing a solid platform IMHO.

Love your post @Engorged Onion. You are 100 percent correct. It's a disgrace. My only observation is this . . . I'm surprised you are surprised! :-). Humanity is, relatively speaking, arrogant, ignorant, and not particularly a species with a high level of consciousness concerning the common good. I know of no other mammal species that conducts itself in such a manner.
