Wells 11

I know a certain poster with a good track record that will breathe a bit easier tonight lol

I think you could take it as a given that nothing would be going on without his knowledge and input.

So much to say about Robbie. Most of it has been said above. But to add one more thing I loved about him. When so many teams were thrashing us and making us look like an ongoing rabble, he would without fail annihilate his opponents and leave them either grasping at air or be out paced or easily sidestepped or he’d just sit on their shoulder and take screamers. Our brightest star came in our darkest years.

well the nickname “ the brand” started up then didn’t it?

we’ e got a stack of people leaving and no one in the door yet!

well reasoned…. i just hope your wrong!

I think there's a question mark on this statement. We lost ...was it 8 games? .. by under 13 points this year. Including 3 of the last 5 by 6 points. We also dropped shockers to the Bombers and Roos. Trac was in his first year back post an horrific injury and Oliver is just beginning to pick up his peak fitness. I don't know about Lever and May but if they also returned to something approaching full fitness I don't think we're thaaat far away. The truth will be exposed in 26 but Im not without hope that our list is still very good. Our depth is poor I admit.

I know little of how clubs go about recruiting players from other clubs but surely a thorough medical is part of it. ie We would do full due diligence re his back injury wouldn’t we?

I don’t think we’ll be hearing much of this til the Cats season is finished. Doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of work going on behind the scenes though.

intersting indeed. your opinion or information?

Coming around to believing we have THE best man for the job. I really applaud the club for doing this process fully. Despite the dribble from the usual media ratbags I saw a professional club in action. The only question mark I have is that his family has moved to the gold coast I believe? I read somewhere he stayed to see if he could land the job. Coaching is one of the highest pressure positions you can have…anyone with any info at all re how he can make this work with his family?

when the academy fix is in your favour it’s much easier.

No offence Ted but if your still bothering to read or see anything Caro has to say about the club you're a glutton for punishment. When was the last time she said anything positive about us? IF we kept goodwin and sacked him at years end and had no time to get a new coach before trade week, she would also have laid into us about that too.

It’s hard to believe this really might be happening! Not sure we’d have ”the best” training facilities would we ? I mean certainly in the upper echelon I’d be hoping but there’s some big clubs out there.

For some reason your post has come up empty? Are we trying to get him?
