Based on the fact that Collingwood fell down the ladder each year for six years when he took over and have shot up the ladder since he left.
You would get ONE good year out of 10 with him when he decides to step back and give more power to assistants.
He is not an option for you simply because...
Truck will possibly get a big crowd reception from the crowd when he appears on the scoreboard come Saturday night.
Richmond fans will most likely cheer him as will Bomber supporters.
Would be a nice touch after the week he has had.
Do you guys know the situation with Tippa.
Seems to have lost form leading up to him being managed for personal reasons.
He would be a big addition if he was in the right place to play football. Does anyone know what the reason is and if he is going to suit up at all for you guys in finals.
just imagine getting the Giants in the first week of final.
All the motivation in the world for this game and hope you guys win.
Not that I have any self interest in you doing that.
GC just fall apart as the game goes on.
I was up there for their game against StKilda you could be 100% sure they would lose even when they were 3 goals in front.
Interesting how that result would have changed the next half decade or so for each team. You can go either way for each team..
Did you lose something over the next four or five years because players tasted success early (could you have grabbed two premierships over next five or six years) or...
I think last nights loss will simply be the difference between who you play in the first week of finals. Collingwood may now be able to pass you and North will sew up sixth.
First up opponent is likely to be Port Adelaide or North either way.
Hard to really pick which is preferable so If you...
Bomber fits all the needs
Knows what Hird wants to stamp onto the side
Experienced with no real learning curve required
Walked away from coaching which means will be content to hand it over.
Goodwin only ticks one of those boxes.
Strange type of game coming up this week. We dont know what...
Brereton claims it was a hit he delivered to Williams that finished his career. Tim Watson told Brereton later that Daisy was never the same after the hit. For once I dont think Brereton was big noting.
Finished at 29 so it was more a late start at 23 at VFL than a premature end.
look at the...
That would make me way to happy for it to ever happen. Go Bombers, im already swearing when one of your players makes a mistake. Funny what a team playing Collingwood does to you.
Id settle for you keeping Travis Cloke to a bad night but unfortunately that doesnt look like it will happen.
Just hoping you dont play Travis into form. Who will do the right thing by us. Pears or Hardeman???. Hope you havent shelved the season like you did that StKilda game about four years ago. it was hilarious to see the Adelaide Crows getting into you over that as the percentage pushed them out of...
He mentions that his biggest problem with Tim was when he sided with Alec Epis.
Sheedy and Epis didnt see eye to eye and I take it that he meant at the time Epis was looking to push him out of the coaching position.
Sheedy and Tim Watson would have had their ups and downs but I get the feeling...
It would kill Sheedy to have Hird in the box next to him while Essendon is flogging GWS but the reality is that Essendon is the type of side that could give them that mother of a beating.
Interesting to see if Sheeds puts the resting of players to the side for this week given its against the...
Most probably 'Billy from Heidelberg' who is mentally challenged and lives with his mother and is well into his forties. Used to be a regular caller on club corner and had no idea they were taking the piss out of him (SEN not us, Dessy Ryan just used to cringe) . Billy thought he was good value...
I think this game is the dreamtime return match. Has to be the next dreamtime game.
Bet Hardwick and Hird take note of their coaching record against each other.
The one I like is that Jade Rawlings has a 100% win coaching record against you. This is a bloke who hasnt been around success since...
Yeah it may sound intimidating on the ground but to his face in life there would be fewer people expressing their views and those that go to a function are probably less feral. Strong charachters wont be fazed to the point of it being detrimental. Probably used it.
Crowd should be huge this...
That Sheeds is cool on the idea of getting him says alot to me.
That GWS would go into a season without a forward option over taking him really does raise questions as to what people inside football know that we dont.
You could cause huge damage this week.
Im not sure if Ratten has signed yet but a loss would throw a spanner in the works.
Carlton supporters demanding that they take Fevola back which would make many in the club sick to contemplate it. Civil War stuff.
The pressure on the Blues is huge...
My Dad is an Essendon supporter who told me that he barracks for Essendon because of Coleman.
The strange thing is that he would have only seen him from limited footage. Back in those days kids would hear about their heroes more than see them.
Back in Bradmans days Bradman was to many...
I would have thought it would have been counteractive If it just had you hanging around for a week and waiting on results of the last round to know whether you were in or not.
It has turned out that you will be cemented in the eight regardless of the results so you can start preparing for the...
Collingwood, the year after being argueably the best team in the competition (1992) went on a decline of almost ten years after promising Buckley who joined the Pies that year, finals each year.
Neale Daniher burst on to the scene more so that Terry.
Robert Walls has the story of how he was carried off by stretcher in front of the Essendon faithful in what was a career ending injury and knew he was done as a player.
He says he was thinking about how impressive a young Neale...
I agree mate.
Overran Fremantle in that game to the point that the unloseable looked losaeable and also last week (which I dont want to think about.)
Adelaide are a bad side. They will not keep this up and will fold once you get momentum.
Negating each other on the scoreboard. A Hurley bag of goals could override the twos that Burgoyne and Rioli will inevitably get but a Buddy bag could override it on its own.
Cheers mate. Friday night game so a fair bit of non Essendon-Hawthorn supporter interest in the game.
Havent heard anything concrete as to his injury but he looked very dangerous yesterday and showed the type of form that if built on could get you over the line against a Franklin-Rougheadless...
