Bucks just can't coach: we all know it and have for years, it's basically only Eddie that doesn't. Their team just gets so hyped. They "win" every draft night, any player that gets recruited to them becomes even better automatically. I just hope Eddie keeps Bucks because this is glorious to see their implosion since their GF loss to the Cats.
Sacking Bucks would mean Eddie was wrong, and that is way too much of a hit to the ego. I hope they keep the faith because he's a crap coach.

But lol @ 2 top 8 picks for Treloar. It's nice to see the first club burned by future trading was Collingwood.

This is why I don't want Robert Harvey coaching us.
It would most likely end up like Collingwood-Bucks seems to be heading.
I don't agree, Banger is far more footy smart than Buckly, Voss and Hird who have all failed.
Banger for what ever reason was always a rung behind them in the media.
Don't worry how he sounds when interviewed, when talking footy in front of the boys I bet he is gold

Channel 7 hyping Rhys Stanley like he had a blinder...

9 touches, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 12 hitouts and 1.1 goals in a thumping win isn't all that impressive, particularly when you get reported during it.
seems like the stanley of old. just teases for an enternity

Gold Coast seriously going nowhere. What an awful effort in a huge quarter for them.
Completely f**ked my tipping the idiots, now I desperately need Adelaide to beat the Dogs.

They've had a shocking run with injuries over the last year or two but you're right, they're a mess of a club. Even Ablett is struggling..

That's my situation exactly! Honestly thought Suns were due to bounce back over a semi-hard Melbourne.
C'mon Adelaide! Haha

Just played around with the ladder predictor for the first time in a while, and I honestly think there is a strong chance (barring a bad injury run) that we finish 9-11 this year with around 9-11 wins. There are some very average sides running around this year in the bottom half of the ladder, and the collapse of Dockers, Richmond and the Pies makes things interesting. For example to finish 10th, we would only need to be above:

Bombers;
Carlton;
Brisbane;
Gold Coast;
Richmond;
Pies;
Port;
Dockers;
Richmond

Given how much easier our draw gets this is entirely possible. None of the above sides look like winning more than 8 games apart from possibly Port.

To get to 11 wins we would only have to knock off (Bombers 2 times, Blues 2 times, Dockers at home, Lions at home, Gold Coast, Dees again & Richmond). Every one of those games is a very strong chance of a win. Even if we drop 2 of these and don't upset anybody else in the other 7 games, 9 wins will still have us finish 10th or 11th this year.

Had we not been robbed in the Hawks game and we were 3-3, I might even have suggested we are a sneaky outside chance for the 8.
