Saints Sack Ratten & Appoint Lyon as Coach
I am happy to be proven wrong. Mind you I am not sure those other "dynasties " were so labelled at their first flag. Just to be clear though I am tired of cliched insults of players from other Clubs you guys would all worship if the were in red and blue and I rather hope Lyon goes to the Saints so Ooze doesn't have to start at a basket case in Moorabin. Choco Williams as well for that matter.

Same winning percentage as Goodwin at 57% and more Grand Finals which was obviously the point I was responding to. You are probably one of the blokes who think Geelong were " losers" for only being perpetual contenders after they had their first Dynasty and before this next one. Hilarious Much more interesting pressers from Lyon (and Scott) as well for anyone with a sense of humour

One unlucky bounce to Stevie Miln is all that stands between Lyons and Goodwins Premiership record.

2022 List and Contract Details
Listen cobber if Goodwin and the FD don't think the game and and the list( too slow too small too few skilled kickers) is ok and they just need to change "ins " for "outs" and not remedy some of the above defects with players who are ready to go ,then he wasn't watching the top four in the finals. The "dynasty " is now off the pace and likely fighting for their hold on the finals not just the double chance and with Clubs building behind them Stubborn narrow mind will get found out in a changing game. One winter of cloudless skies then .... poof it's a deluge!!

OK I apologise. 1 Hunt currently feels hard done by and I have personal information to support that's how he feels. 2 He accepts the decision as the lot of professional athlete. 3.His reasons are listed 4 Nonetheless he makes respectful public comments as a professional athlete should. 5 I imply that currently the balance between rights and obligations in the AFL arena is skewed towards rights 6 Which is not an attractive ( classy) state of affairs. 7 I hope that's now clear and you are intelligent enough ( from your critique) to understand this was a post about "professionalism"in the AFL as much as the subject of the thread. 8 But I doubt it- Farewell Luke Jackson
You have kind of missed what I thought was really obvious but as it seems you have the IQ of Dogga I will explain. Even if you are pee'd off and feeling undervalued by MFC your PROFESSIONAL commitment means you play the game,tick the public boxes and move on....unlike players who think " professional "means it's only money and self interest. No one is contesting self interest..just how you live with it in a professional manner.- Farewell Luke Jackson
Why it's all class is because if you know ( albeit 3rd hand) what he thinks of how he was used ,played out of position and the " coach" then the narrative is very different. But that's what being a professional sportsman is ..what you do and say...not the " right" to get what you want.- 2022 List and Contract Details
How long before they can trade Goodwin?- Game plans, tactics and all that jazz

It was brain surgery and Freo said it was a waste of time ;they wont let him be interviewed- Farewell Luke Jackson
They are pros and committ to every game at 100%...assuming they understand that being a pro doesn't just mean they get paid- Farewell Luke Jackson
Take a look at their history- Farewell Luke Jackson
He's not the sharpest needle in the pack which probably why we didn't put up front and centre very often.- Farewell Luke Jackson
I wonder why The Munster resigned with Storm fir a net season loss of 250K and the chance to ay at home with his good mate as coach. It might be a club culture and management thing perhaps. The Dee's are secondary ( or third) tenants in the Storm HQ; perhaps Max could stop podcasts and coffee and ask for some advice. Who's going to shack up with Kosi this season I wonder.- Farewell Luke Jackson
Can't wait to join them after all those nights talking about moving on eh?- Farewell Luke Jackson
Not lime the mighty Dee's since last century plus some eh?- Farewell Luke Jackson
Might have a better chance if keeping them if the Club actually had a home and consequently an identity- Farewell Luke Jackson
Apparently that's two of us.- Farewell Luke Jackson
When did the coaches rate his season?- Farewell Luke Jackson
Seriously what would you expect him to say. He also said he made his mind up during the bye!! It was pretty obvious to everyone but nuffies on here but also indicates that Freo shouldn't use him as a spokesperson Selwood ,Dangerfield or Fyffe he aint- Farewell Luke Jackson
Mate Jack Watts would make me look like a [censored],but I am measuring Jackons characteristics against the elite ,which is what a pick 3 ,million dollar ,very mobile big man is meant to be- Farewell Luke Jackson
You didn't grasp my point did you.? We hang on to a VFL forward for years but trade a potential AFL small forward without giving him much of a chance- Farewell Luke Jackson
An anchor can hold you to the bottom, that's its point- Farewell Luke Jackson
If you have the big bucks you can take a helicopter from Bondi.. Not if you are pick 44 - Farewell Luke Jackson
