Personally I’d ask the question if miocek and Elliot. 2 40 goal forwards coming into our set up could really give us a boost and both are high end of forward craft

I’ve for a long time held the view Gawn is going to be an incredible media performer.

Normally the clubs just leak that to essentially gently let down a wave of assistants who might apply when the club has a pretty good idea who it’s going to be. In our case gently saying we’d rather one of Longmire, Simpson, Buckley or Hinkley. the fact we’ve already said no to Chaplin says it all really, he’s a very good assistant who I’d be shocked if he isn’t a senior coach in the next 2-3 years

Hope we get him a petrol card for the drives out to Casey!

I think horse was able to maximise Sydney’s advantage at the SCG but was exposed in big finals at the MCG. If he were to coach Melbourne I suspect he’d aim to make us unbeatable at the MCG, which you need to be to win premierships.

You’d have to imagine a number of teams would see a motivated Simon Goodwin as a pretty good addition. I have a feeling he’s going to the tigers to work with yze

The fact we’ve told Troy Chaplin not to pursue the role seems to be some evidence we either already know who we want or what we want, or we don’t want anyone from the previous FD involved at all.

Let’s be real, if nick daicos walked into our club this off season we’d be playing finals in 2026 as well. Yes fly has re energised the pies but I have no doubt they’d have spiked under bucks as well when you have an 18 year old walk in and play at near Brownlow level

Horse worked very hard to avoid saying no.

Hinkley would tell the dees players to take max out off the ball just out of habit. the Hinkley appointment does become interesting if it increases our chances of luring Zak butters. You don’t make a coaching call because of that but if it’s a 50/50 choice for example perhaps that becomes a factor

I think most coaches would be thinking if this team can fix up the inside 50 connections and find a key forward they can bounce back really quickly, especially if clarry comes good

I vaguely remember bucks talking about how he doesn’t rate the role of ruckman in the game and I am curious how that would work with a team built around max gawn

Couldn’t be worse than mark neeld was…

If experienced John Longmire or Adam Simpson Untried. Hayden skipworth, Corey Enright, Brent Montgomery or Daniel gianceracusa

Choose a direction and commit to it. I think we need to focus on the draft. Maybe move on 2-3 guys to improve draft hand and build a team. We’ve seen how quickly things can turn when a club is decisive. I’m just convinced this current scenario is doomed. We need change

Play the kids. Let’s see what kolt, Jeffo and Laurie can do with an extended run

I mean the umpiring is indefensible at this point.

That is not in any context a free kick hahahahaha

Geez port fans are gross. They belong in a zoo.

It’ll be a real test for player power because there is no way freo do this willingly.

It’s so funny. Is the idea Fremantle faked their interest so Melbourne would pay 200k a year more on an extensions they were going to offer anyway? Reality. Freo and west coast tried. The dees flexed and blew them totally out of the water.

I can’t see any world where freo let Jackson go

This is such a big deal for the club. Not just because kozzie is a gun but it signals we’ve moved on from the doubts and cultural issues that have plagued us. A player like kozzie would have been able to get really big dollars anywhere, 9 years says he believes in the club and it’s direction and is also confirmation our welfare in dealing with homesickness and so on is highly effective. I think the criticism in the media of us jumping at shadows is lazy. We’ve consistently signed out big name players well out from being out of contract, Petracca, Oliver, viney and Gawn are all recent examples. This is simply how we operate as a club and today we got a great result

The saints are absolutely not a serious club if their offer for NWM isn’t as big or bigger than this. Losing him would be a bigger loss for the. Than kozzie would have been for us.

The money and term are great but I heard what’s actually convinced kozzie is @Adam The God offering to become his PA
