Just read he said he won't go. Never mind...
Bomber doesn't seem like the type of person who would say no to a job then take it anyway

But I think the new fixturing system does take into consideration the big rivalries, like Carlton Vs Essendon and the interstate rivalries. There was a massive uproar by the Carlton fans that we wouldn't play Richmond twice this year and that was due to the new fixturing system. Though I have a feeling the AFL might be willing to make a few changes to it to increase crowd numbers next year since this year was pretty average.
Probably hounding them to be included in the hunt.
Would be sniffing him out for sure.
Yeah just like he negotiated his 30k fine then refused to pay it, so who knows....

If they're desperate, I'm willing to put my hand up to coach the Crows.
I captained my One Day cricket team for a few games and went 1-4 so I do have some experience in leadership roles.

Really? Because Geelong have proved otherwise over a wide number of years. Perhaps I should have said if the Cats can play at Kardinia Park - even before the recent upgrades, and quite frankly theres no difference between games played outside of Victoria in front of 15,000 and us potentially playing in front of 20,000 at Princes Park. The stadium economics are still the same, its our stadium, its our money.
In any case, it wasnt a serious suggestion, but the automatic dismissal really riled me a little.
The_Wookie where have you been lately? I've missed you ever so much!

Geelong is a much better example, that would make more sense.
Playing at Princes Park isn't the same as playing in a state that has no other football.
It is the same as playing at Kardinia Park however.

It was more about the crowd size and facilities than anything.
Hope health is on the up for you mate.

Anyone seen Port's slogan for this weekend - #YesWeKen
Don't know whether to be amused or annoyed by that, its cringe worthy but hilarious at the same time.
Kudos to Kochie for making a club that was almost on death row 3 years ago, an exciting, fun and marketable club that has captured the imagination of the footy community.
And he doesn't seem arrogant like Jeff Kennett at Hawthorn or conceited like Eddie everywhere.

I hope you're okay my friend.

That's an amazing story that these blokes would tell porkies.
Frank Costa knew he was going and when interviewed would always respond with, "Bomber and I have a hand shake agreement, he is a man of his word, if he has told me he is not going to Essendon* then I believe him."
This is one reason I can't stand Bomber with his fake comedy routines for channel Timmy and the way he portrays himself, all fake. He may be a premiership coach but he is still scum...

Wasn't Bomber a big reason why Gary Ablett left Geelong ? Apparently they didn't speak to each other once for much of Gazza's last year in Geelong.
I think he is a quality coach, but yes, he does have a polarizing personality that can be off putting

When Gary was unsure bomber gave him a hard time about it and made his decision easier.
Hypocritical the way he handled the Essendon scenario.
He has a likeable persona but I don't trust the guy glad he isn't at our club.

Vacancies at Adelaide and (likely) Gold Coast. I wonder if Ratts is on either club's radar.
He couldn't do any worse than Sando, at least he knows what it takes to win at all costs.
