Sorry Kids, if that is your real name, many of us don't give a rats about the last 55 years and instead live in the present and the changes and improvements to be had in 2020. Sitting behind a keyboard using a silly name to take pot shots at a well respected senior coaching figure is not demanding better.

ET - your so called facts have ruined my narrative that Hawthorn turnes Jack Fitzpatrick into an absolute superstar.

Exhibit A - Fitzy at Melbourne Exhibit B - Fitzy at Hawthorn

Scott Brother 1 is on record saying he can't see the trade happen ans that he'd expect 4 round one picks and a player to trade out Tim Kelly. Seems reasonable.

A bit like Collingwood getting Mayne instead of Mundy.

Agree fully re Gawn, not only his onfield performance and presence but also his maturity as a leader and ability to communicate and command an audience. Im supportive of Gawn being our sole captain and Viney and one other as VC.

To those deriding Viney finishing third you need to get a clue. Viney is a jet!

He was easily in our top 3 before he injured his foot. Was our only player who could deliver the ball inside 50 to our forwards advantage. Also went full beast mode for a couple of games playing onball.

Show some respect and sit and watch the sponsors and listen to the ?, you might like it.

It's working, what you are seeing is filler for the time allocated to showing the season highlights.

A poor mans Juice Newton. I'd rather we rookie Juice or Fevola.

I reckon we adopt a d!ckhead first policy. Plenty of talent to choose from.

Haha, the neg approach seems like something Peter Bell would try

I'm not a troll, I am an idiot. There is a difference ?

What is an M1?

Casey is at least 4 hours drive from Gotches paddock. Similar travel time to Geelong.

I'm not sold on Lachie Whitfield. Went missing big time v Collingwood today.

I believe that should be seventheenthbourne

Lol

Pruessy is a character. Loved it when he manned the mark on the wrong side.

You should retire. You can't buy me hotdog man.

This is a stupid to topic and I know a stupid topic when I see when because I sometimes post them too.

It's a bit of a stretch to say the players hate him. Sure they have underperformed and I'm sure he's not universally loved by all 42 players but I doubt many of them hate him.

AFL coaching is a tough and thankless caper. You have to get everything right to play in a way that you are able to make and win finals, rely on list management to get the right talent and player development to develop it, have to move personnel around the ground due to injury and form and also have to deal with what the opposition throws up week in week out. Add to this dealing with player welfare, keeping everyone together in a high pressure and ever changing environment and dealing with the public and media scrutiny that comes with a poor loss or player indiscretion. Good luck to Don Pyke, it was a remarkable effort to make a GF after stepping into the role after the loss of Phil Walsh.

He could organise our camp and stare down our players if they don't come back fit enough.
