I think people over rate the roos and tiges list.
But yes the coaches arn't helping.. Were they ever in contention?

Staying on the bombers, Emma Quayle ponders staying true to the rebuild rather than accepting the mediocre playing group of guineapigs back:

"But with the way things are shaping up, it might actually help Essendon if two or three of them want to go elsewhere or decide against playing on next year.

Michael Hurley is the key re-signing. The Bombers want and need him back badly. He's worth much more than they would get in any trade.

He could come back, play out the last year of his contract and then make a decision on his future as a free agent. That won't happen though: whether he stays or asks the club to let him start over somewhere new it will be on a very large, long-term contract.

The rest are interesting. Michael Hibberd's best footy is very good: disciplined, dynamic and skilful. On age and ability he is certainly a player Essendon would want to keep, perhaps behind only Heppell, Hurley and Hooker.

It's can be easy to forget what players can do when they're not right in front of you.

That said, the Bombers have shovelled a lot of money towards Hooker and Heppell, and will do the same for their centre half-back should he come home from his holiday and tell them he wants to stay.

They are yet to sign Laverde and Gleeson (they should), and salary cap increase aside will have to keep some room clear for Merrett, Parish, Daniher and others' future deals.

They also have a slight squeeze on for list spots, with six or more returning, at least three new draftees to make room for and a pre-season draft pick to potentially make more room for. McDonald-Tipungwuti needs to come up from the rookie list and top-up defender Matt Dea will be worth considering in the draft,draft, particularly should Hibberd choose to leave."

Wife bashers stevens off to jail, cya later germ!

I'm backing North at $2 tonight. If they win, great I double my money. If they lose, we are one step closer to finals.

Win-Win

Norf's coach must be good, he looks just like that premiership coach from Geelong.

As for the tigers, i think they just couldn't admit they got it wrong yet again.
