They are better than people give them credit for I think (the Cats). Duncan going down hurts though.

Nope I keep seeing and hearing the same things. Eagles posters here are much more grounded though...
Yeo gets one game for his high attempted spoil on Jimmy Webster.

Haha yeah I guessed it would be. Couldn't see them giving him a reprimand when Webster was concussed

Yeah, I reckon finals are almost certain for your guys. I think the Eagles will continue to do fairly well, soft draw or not. Wins means confidence, trust in each other etc. and that psychological 'health' is a significant part of doing well in a tight comp that is the AFL.
In any case, regardless of how much weight you want to put on the Eagles wins so far, if you look at the teams that sit in that 'second rung' (i.e. the teams down to currently 12th plus Port at 13th, and take out Swans and Hawks), they would rightly be counted in that group coming into the season. Besides the Port win, there's no big surprises in their wins, I don't see what they big deal is either way (hype from Eagles fans on one hand, derision from some other fans on the other). They're doing what you'd expect really.

Click into what? They're playing good footy against mediocre sides in Victoria, but they're not the side they were. Even at their best from 2007-2011, they struggled to beat half decent WA sides at Subi. I don't rate West Coast very highly, but Geelong are not good enough to beat them.

Has a touch of Mitch Thorp that.
My daughter is a travel agent and said they have been inundated with wc fools booking flights because they think they are GF contenders.
they have given us some good runs at Subi in the last three years. I agree they are playing good footy against mediocre sides in Victoria but there is nine of them.
They will find Geelong a much tougher assignment than Saints, Carlton and Brisbane. Cats are obviously off their Golden years level but they have only been thumped this year by Freo, Hawks and Sydney.
I tip wc to drop the next three games.

Of course he has the right to finish his contract. But, he's not just a low level employee, he's the head coach. If you want to compare with "any other organisation", I think you'll find it's very common practice for people to resign from management positions when they've ****ed up. It's also common for people in such positions to have their contracts terminated.
Mick was headhunted so it is fair to assume his manager would have set up a good exit contingency deal.

The conditions under which he could be terminated would be pretty clear in the contract, otherwise he'd never have signed it. Obviously they have not been met. If Carlton want to get rid of him they will have to pay out his contract and I think that is entirely fair enough.
It's not as simple as saying the coach has "stuffed up" just because they are losing. In fact it's far more likely to have been the recruiting team 5+ years ago that stuffed up. That's why no coach would ever sign a contract that could terminated if they lost too many games.

Geelong's backline are more than capable of handling Eagles forwards, Geelong's forwards should be able to edge out a win over the Eagles backline. The battle will be won in the midfield.
Yeo out will hurt Eagles, Joel Duckwood untagged should run rampant in the midfield. Geelong by 14 points I reckon.

Would love a derby GF. Let's hope it can happen.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. They terminate his contract, and the two parties agree to a payout. I'm not quite sure what your point is here.
It really is that simple. Ask Brett Ratten. He had a year to run on his contract. Guy McKenna, Brenton Sanderson, Scott Watters, Mark Neeld, Matthew Primus and Mark Harvey were all contracted when sacked. If Malthouse has met all the conditions of his contract, he can expect a payout, but those conditions won't save him from being axed.
And yes, Carlton's list is terrible, but that doesn't explain why they have gone from average under Ratten to appalling under Malthouse. They need to sack their list manager and head of recruiting as well.
Already have

Well yes, that is my point. Any contract can be terminated by either party, but they have to pay them out. Carlton can sack him any time.
People here are suggesting that Malthouse should resign so Carlton don't have to pay him out.
