Burns will probably be the caretaker, VB ain’t even a chance of that, let alone a senior coaching role. Outside of Craigy, we have never gone down that internal path.

What on earth are we even thinking about next coach for as absolutely no way going to replace Nicks in the year they have given him 2 more years .
That's admitting they are as bad as we think they are.

If we lose to North and then get smashed in the Showdown, I would fully expect that there would be absolutely searing scrutiny on the club that will be too noisy for them to ignore.
Once you start hearing Silvers or Olsen come out and and say "He (Nicks) has the full support of the board" - thats usually the death knell and the sacking is usually imminent from there.
They will spin it like "We gave Matthew the extension to provide him with less distraction and let him focus on the playing group, unfortunately we are in a results based industry and given the level of expectation we had internally we have had to part ways with Matthew"
Looks like Murphy will play AFL. Pedlar, berg and Dowling will be in AFL Squad

Don't think Murphy is ready this week.
From Burgo unless Murph didnt pull up after training right is ready
Small forward Lachlan Murphy, who has been sidelined for the past three matches with a knee injury, is also expected to be available for selection.
“Murph has completed everything we have asked of him over the past three weeks,” Burgess said.
“And as long as he gets through training tomorrow, we expect him to be available this weekend.”

You know, it’s really same s**t dished out on yet another week. Putting Murphy and Himmelberg in time and time again is appauling. And they don’t seem to surprise us these useless bunch of sh!t selectors. Thank God Dowling is in, but he should’ve been in round 7 2023. Good pedlar is back, as I’ve always backed him. Tell me what sholl, McHenry, and even Jones to a point are still in this squad. Opinions below please

Means that Murphy will be named as an AFL emergency
Likely to drop back into the SANFL team

If I see Murphy in this side just one more time, I really think it’s time as a club we look in the mirror. Players like him, McHenry, himmelburg, have been given a hell load of chances over the years. Constantly all being chosen, while dishing useless sh!t out. I want to see Dowling, Curtain, Taylor, Pedlar all in the squad. It ain’t gonna happen, maybe Pedlar at most. Pathetic…

Butts back might mean Curtin can play further up the ground.

Imagine when the most exciting possibility your club can muster is that MAYBE your highly rated, highly skilled top draft pick MIGHT get to play in a position better suited to him IN THE *ing SANFL.
Enjoy the big contract at West Coast mate, they'll be in a GF before us.

All Clubs are striving for that QB role .....ESS put Martin back, CARL opted Zilliams, RICH with Rioli, NORTH with Sheezel ....and so on
We are the worse club for having any QB at all .....Milera was that man .....no-one has replaced his role

Hinge? Or is he different to how you’d define that role

He certainly could do the role .....his target selection and execution by foot was terrible in the first 4 games .....he's slowly getting back to his 2023 form
We have to have a want to free him up & get the ball in his hands
A role for Curtin??

I’d be fascinated to see what Keane to do up forward as he’s one of our best contested marks. A luxury we can’t afford right now unfortunately

Same. On the positive I would gain a few hours back on weekends and probably invest my time in something more productive

If Murphy is a walk up start returning from a decent injury it shows that our list is the worst in the league.

So no debut for Dowling, or Taylor, or Curtin, or Ryan.
Don't worry though, another top 8 contender are debuting a player:
I'm so sick of this bullshit.
