Anyone hear what he had to say ?
"NSW and Qld academies are great for the game and I'm not just saying that because my son is part of one"

"Must've been a very difficult decision for Nick Blakey and he should be held up as an example of making a courageous decision under pressure, no matter who it ultimately rewarded with his services"

"Sydney are in a bit of a tough stretch but Horse is a smart operator who will right the ship".

Thereby guaranteeing it will be twice as loud next time they play away from Geelong.

The real question is why wait.

What would winning the next two games show?

We're so far away from anything. The one win we had was riddled with horrendous errors.

The last game we played have the players looked like the cbf being there.

What are we waiting for? More of the same? Which will prove what exactly?
A turn around? That's a million to 1.

Take account of our position right now.
Make hard decisions.
Change the narrative of the season to future focused.

If the pay out is an issue, seriously consider coming to the rank and file and asking them to front the cost. I'd suggest they'd do it in a heartbeat to move us forward.
Spot on. Make the call.

Threatening the crowd worked well with Adam Goodes.

"No one really knows why he was booed" - Robbo in the HS this morning. Terrific.
Because he’s good and also comes across as whiny and not very likeable, I’d assume. Amazed to turn on the radio and hear the theory it was crowd reaction to him lining up with bigotry - significantly overestimating the moral compass and interest in the issue of an AFL crowd.
