Extraordinary call, I couldn't believe Salem didn't recieve free and then foe it to go the othrr way. Beggars belief.

I heard that Fritsch was upset and felt blindsided about Lever being dropped.

If North can argue that Xerri was reasonabpy contesting the ball then it is not a classifiable offence. Given the action was to run past the ball while swinging an outstretched arm I cannot see how they could argue such an action is reasonable.

Do we make a play for Damian Barrett and Llordo to run our Footy Department?

So if we really click in the last 6-8 rounds including winning our last 3 rounds in dominant displays you would advocate sacking the coach in the basis that we missed finals? I'm disappointed with our inconsistency this year, especially how poorly we have performed against middling sides, but want to see us back in contention next year.

I'd prefer we go after his brother Ben and teach him (backman) how to play as a forward.

I see that as a good thing. Bring him in and whoever is the new whipping boy we can refer to as reek.

Wizard of Koz, if that is your real name, what makes you think our home base plan is falling apart?

We should appoint Luke Jackson as Player CEO with $500k of his salary outside of the salary and soft caps and the remainder as player.

Add to this that Collingwood didnt even make finals after their 2023 flag but get a free pass in the media. They have started well this year but so did we in 2022 and in 2023 we had our forward line functioning well heading into finals but lost Melksham and Petty to injury and Fritch was recovering from a serious foot injury, not to mention what happened to Brayshaw. If Collingwood go out in straight sets this year will the media call for their coach to be sacked? I reckon Goody is doing well coaching a club that lost its President and CEO last year and these key roles are yet to be filled while healing a playing group and rejuvinating our list after what has been a challengjng few years.

The AFL cpuld be creative in how it funds full time Professional Umpires by getting a betting sponsor on board and having tv segments to review umpiring decisions and also allow punters to place bets on categories based on umpiring mistakes and even have the umpiring department sponsor players known as umpire pets.

Thats a laughable excuse. Any club would find the cap space required for a player like Kozzie if he a) wanted to play for them b) the had the picks and players to enable a deal.

Poor form considering tax payers are paying for 30-45% of the cost of facilities owned by private schools through their tax deductable building contributions.

The silver lining is that he will be cherry ripe for finals.

Yep and if we make finals, even in 8th spot and provided our players are health going into finals, we won't be making up the numbers we will be having a serious crack at the Premiership.
