There’s always talk of “coach factories” - senior coaches like Clarkson or Hardwick whose assistants have gone on to be successful senior coaches themselves. Watching two of Lethal’s apprentices now - Brad Scott and McRae. Voss and Chris Scott also doing pretty well. So who else was an...

Pies have Daicos. We have Ned. I think I can see the flaw in our plan.

Soldo out of the Pear for a month Perhaps Sweet is the true missing piece

I know that all players are different, but we picked Mcasey and played him within a few games, on the basis that he had high end talent. Then we persisted with him for a few games to see if he could get it together. In short, we gave him early chances to show what he’s got. Let’s do that...

Is flat a shape?

How did we get to the point where Murphy and McHenry are even part of the selection conversation? Don’t answer that.

Smith did really well to get through the game??? Getting through the game is not the objective here! We need a little bit more contribution than just that🤬

Just a guess but I’m backing Dowling and/or Curtin for debuts this week

For a change Kane has written a decent article about Port losing because some of their players run hot and cold. A variation on the usual issue of only being as good as your bottom 6 players Sounds familiar. We look a million bucks and can cover the likes of Ned when we can get the offensive...

Caro says Carr will replace Hinkley next year of Port miss the finals We are looking at a similar scenario, although I suspect they’d give Nicks one more year if they can find enough “reasons” why we missed eg RT out early That’s only going to perpetuate “try again but harder” with the likes...

Matty Lloyd says Fagan was the right coach to rebuild the Lions but now not capable of helping them take the next step I’m feeling the same with Nicks Surely there would be conversations being had at AFC. Names being discussed and a few discreet enquiries made Hey, I’m hopeful..

The question now is not what did he do last night, but what does he do next. He will have chances to put his body on the line - either at AFL or SANFL level - so we’ll soon see if he squibs or just misjudges the next one. He’s a young developing player with talent - he’s got to show he’s more...

Remember when Jacobs was so bad we were crying out for them to drop him for ROB? The good old days

Tex really gave a serve to the umpire after the match. He could be in some trouble for that

We have NO reliable marking power forward of the back lines. ROB is useless. Dawson is very good at it but that’s not his role. Fog is too small. Tex has never been a pack busting contested marker. We’re obviously missing RT. But we have no one else of any height around the ground who can...

He won a gold-feckin-jacket. Somehow. Can we not play him the highlights reel from that year and say “Do that!” ?

Several times saw Nank right in front of us, he has some ball handling skill and class

At my age I’m blind to bad umpiring. It hasn’t changed in the past 50 years I’ve been watching, it won’t change in the next 50. What can change is choosing to apply pressure and work rate from the first bounce, rather than only after half time. Would McHenry get a game each week if Ross Lyon...

Thanks, I’ll use it to drive them as far out of the state as it’s possible to go

I’m starting a GoFundMe for Ned’s retirement Please give generously

The first one I thought the umpire must have called a stop to play so he only went up one handed to stop the ball to hand it back. That’s how soft an effort it was. Needs to be dropped until his attitude improves

Do we know what front and centre means?

I think we need to try to get our hands on the ball before blaming the umpires

Very hard to distinguish

Hell yes. Tell me which other team that either Murphy or McHenry would get a game in. Maybe North. Maybe. But Clarko wouldn’t have them No. Other. Team.

Totally agree. Outbodying them, pushing and shoving, holding your ground etc - all fine by me. But not grabbing someone at the last minute and throwing them out of the contest. Don’t understand it.

Bookmarking this: our next coach will get rid of the 7 man leadership group, give it to one person to rip everyone else into line

GROTTO your fun facts need more fun and less facts Please😫

Can we swap Ned for Durham? Can that be arranged?

Yeah he started to say “miss the bye between…” and then realised what he was saying 😄
