Imagine if Clarkson was coach of the Bravedogs for the last 6 years.
Superior list.
Results would be diffferent.
Beveridge=Below Average.

Beveridge is immune from criticism it seems. He’s had two good runs in finals in 16 and 21. Outside of that he’s lost finals when they were favourites.

Ross Lyon may not have won a premiership but he’s a better coach. Tonight proved it.

Lyon is unlucky in the fact his team ended up playing against Generational sides.

Anyone want to take back their season predictions that Pies and Blues would be shite, but Freo would be great?

Name them then if there were , by the way it's only halfway through round 2

I tipped the Pies and Freo to make the 8 and for millions of people to laugh and rejoice as the Carlollies finished mid table.

Ive seen nothing to change my mind.

 

[Gimmeafree]

If only the afl ladder would stay that way at the end of the season

Top 8 is now Swans + 7 Victorian clubs.

 

[rustycrate]

I think, when all the dust settles after a few more rounds, Collingwood will be a leading contender. They just seem to keep on keeping on.
They caught me by surprise last year. But this year they are keeping on. They are the real deal it seems. I need a few more rounds to be 100%. But 95% is undeniable. We meet them in round 8. Should be a cracker.

King’s takedown of Lukosius on First Crack is brutal.

Saying he needs to be dropped (or delisted!) as he’s a non-trier & hurting GC culture.

And Montagna jumping on too.

Rare to hear a player get pilloried like that.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Top 8 is now Swans + 7 Victorian clubs.

Will there be a inquiry into why this is happening

I think the gap will continue to grow as their intrinsic advantages continue.

Is it?

He's a top 2 pick who hasn't come on.

Will Phillips has been copping that treatment and he's a third-year player coming off a case of glandular fever and long COVID.

Petracca and Martin in their early years, Jack Watts, Tom Boyd and our very own Paddy could all testify to similar treatment.

Not saying that makes it right, just that it's pretty common. Perhaps just seems more jarring when it's directed towards a Suns player, as they tend to be off the media's radar.

Petracca was crap in his first few years. The ugly duckling became a swan. If only. He is one of the very best now.

Lukosius is a monty to be traded to a SA club.

He will just cite mental health reasons to get out of there if his current deal has years to go.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

bedford do you actually think he will see out his contract? i just checked and it expires 2026!

I would be happy to get him. He'd come cheap now and he's got talent. Well worth a roll of the dice.

I keep hoping for Collingwood to fall apart but they are playing brilliant footy.

In saying that I feel like Carlton will win the cup this year. They're not firing but are still winning (or not losing). Once they gel and build their confidence they'll be a force
