A new coach won't help They've got a very tough run over the next 2 months. Need a miracle They might get one new-coach-bounce-back win but that will be it They're either not fit enough or it's between the ears. Or both

Sure, but there's this ... "Disclosing delicate information in a forum of individuals with no contractual obligation to the club prompted a complaint to be made to the AFLPA, with the AFL then included in discussions at a high level. “Can we all just make sure we keep this information to ourselves?” Richardson said in the meeting at one point. “The reason that this is a little bit unusual – I don’t think I’ve ever done this before – we’ve had issues with Clayton (Oliver) and the like. Is that this is involving a partner.” A source present on the call said: “It raises serious questions about whether the club understands or respects even the most basic standards of privacy and duty of care.”

Reminds me of when the 'Posse' visited Goodwin at his home to sack him - amateurish. Do such a thing in a professional environment There's a professional way to handle these sorts of matters and that doesn't include blabbering to the masses I don't see why the partners needed to be told about private information involving another player and his partner It's none of their business

Regardless of the media reporting, the info was always going to get out. Only takes one person to talk. And it looks like there were plenty involved If you're going to tell that many people, it acts like a press conference. Amateur hour again, when will the club ever learn? King being involved is not good. It makes him part of it as well as Guerra & Richardson Why would the club feel compelled to share sensitive information with 15 Wives & Girl friends. What were they thinking?

No congestion so it's watchable. But the basic skills are woeful. Fumbletown Neither team knows how to enter their respective forward-lines without bombing it in. Long bombs lead to turnovers - such a waste Teams like Brisbane would obliterate either team

Ang Christou rockin' his arms to 'A Grand Old Flag' was classic

Lions = slick ball movement They rarely bomb it as their teamwork is A1

I could watch that all day From the non-plussed Blues player (#20?) having no idea what to do And then the awareness of Kozzie sizing up 3 or 4 options. His mind was in overdrive

You have to wonder why Lyon would let a player like Steele go? (so easily) Doesn't make sense Anyway, their loss is our gain and without Viney's dogged style and relentless attack on the ball, we'd fall well short without Steele as well (Kozzie & Gawn aside) As well as developing our young mids, King needs to find a way for Steele & Viney to work together as mids

Oliver played quite well against the Pies but the players that he is dishing the handballs off to, aren't doing much with it (the footy) He'll be more impactful when they get their better players back However, the best thing for him and the MFC was to part company. It's heading for a win/win

Seems the obvious target for 'The Nullifier' (Negates Anderson) Maybe Touk? Or perhaps he just takes CJ's spot (although did King mention that Rivers could be shifted back on return)

Yep "It was the worst of times, it was the best of times"

Apparently the Saints are paying a percentage of Steele's salary as well 4 quarter player and 15 tackles is outrageously good. He's a brick

6 Kozzie (Dynamic) 5 Gawn (Warrior) 4 Steele (Solid) 3 Sparrow (Standout) 2 Lever (Influential) 1 Kolt (Negated well) Others who played well (or stepped it up when needed) ... Fritsch, T-Mac, Windsor, Langford, Chandler & Lindsay

He did a job on Cripps, so much so that Cripps has no real influence That's 3 nullifying performances in a row by the lad Reducing a star to 'ok only' is an achievement
