Toast McRae era (2022-) = see OP

[Maggie5]

I've contacted him - he's adding Pies issues to his repertoire

I read the last one as Husband-Wifi disputes first time around.

 

[windchimes]

Thanks NMBB, I gave them a call... all sorted. They said something like " a bird team will win a grand final in 2023 against a team of devils" .

They have my credit card details now, for some reason its been totally maxed out.

But worth it for the info

The biggest plot twist here will be that the 'team of devils' is actually referring to Carlton, not Melbourne.

OMG - the horror is beyond comprehension

 

[Collingwoodity]

Hilarious that you would think your judgement has any relevance.

What are your qualifications?

How many AFL sides have you coached?

How many AFL flags have you won?

Same quality opinion as yours

Same quality opinion as yours

I’m not the one critiquing the coach with a 73% win record.

[Chief Ten Beers]

Fly...we're going to set players up for success...

Waits to play the #2 team in the competition, battling for a top spot and debuts a teenager against Brisbane's small forward line without Moore and playing against the likes of Cameron a few weeks before finals.

 

[sideswipe]

I've said this before, I'll say it again and I'll repeat it even more after McRae has won us a flag

Losing that 2018 Grand Final will be looked back upon as the biggest blessing in disguise this club has ever experienced

Deserves a bump.

I didn't see it in the OP, but seeing as we just won the Minor Premiership, should you add a category for "Minor Premierships"?

 

[The Phantom]

Thanks PonsfordMagpie
Great thread.

Agree Minor Premiership should and no doubt will be added.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Minor Premiership added to the OP

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

McRae, "I don't believe in form"

Later on he says, paraphrasing "They're both at their best when their form is good. Cox's form dropped off"

 

[NMBB]

He's human after all - a key characteristic of humans being the ability to effortlessly contradict oneself with nary a care in the world

Not me, I always thought we had a decent enough list the previous regime just didn’t get the best out of it.

Not me, I always thought we had a decent enough list the previous regime just didn’t get the best out of it.

C’mon, nobody since Hafey has turned a team’s fortunes around so profoundly - and Hafey did it when there were only 12 teams.

And our list isn’t that great, even today. In the Melbourne game last night the best two players on the field were playing for them. IMO Melbourne clearly had the better players. But we have the better team - they play as a better organised unit - and that’s on McRae & co.
