Liked him as a player and I dunno if he can coach, but he carries himself well as a coach. Unlike some others who could be twins, he is not a whiney bitch.

Ditto here.

One of the more likeable coaches. Intelligent, well spoken and interesting. I actually think he is a good coach too.

Also particularly like your comment re: the Scott sisters. Obnoxious thugs as players and whiney bitches who think the world is against them in the coaches box.

Brad Scott is particularly well suited to Norf, the whiney, "what about us", blame shifting, chip on the shoulder campaigner.

Don't live in Melbourne or read its papers, but that fat dumb campaigner is a real fat dumb campaigner.

FWIW and I may cop a board ban for this, but I like Bucks.

Bucks was always a professional and as has been stated in the past - his expectations of his players to show the same professionalism may cause conflict with some players - though I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing.

Dangerfield - 43 disposals and 4 goals. Strength, speed, size and skill. Do we have anyone like that on our list?

yes we do, but he is nowhere near fit enough to get 40 disposals yet.

Dangerfield didn't get 4 goals!!

I'm perfectly happy with the role he is currently playing, if you are refering to Jakey that is.

All the teams that won this week will play against a team that lost last week. So we could end up with nine at 2-0 and nine at 0-2. Unfortunately, if that were to happen, in week three there would be one game with two unbeaten teams and one game with two winless teams. So best we could end up with is eight teams at 3-0 , one team at 2-1, one team at 1-2 and eight teams at 0-3.

Yeah but if Bont gets 30 I'd have that as good as a Dangerfield 43. Kicked 0 goals 3 behinds by the way. Was a great performance no doubt, really helped to get inside scenarios to the outside and move the ball quickly.

Anyone else laugh at the "see ball, get ball" article re Oliver?

Apparently that's what Macca has "trained" him to do. Sounds suspiciously like the 4 years coaching he put into the dogs.

Enough to make Mattdougie spit :D:D:D

I've never understood that team of the week. Excluding our own players, where the hell is Dangerfield?
Rankings points crucify players for missed shots on goal that, statistically, shouldn't have been missed. He missed three shots that in the model's view he should have kicked and it cost him points over others in his position.

Subjectively it's impossible to leave him out and highlights a ridiculous bias in their model in my opinion, but that team is as simple as grabbing the highest rated players in each position for the round.

I assume it's directed at them appointing Rebecca Maddern co-host.
Don't see anything wrong with that. I'm sure she'll do a fantastic job and maybe breathe some life into that stale old embarrassment of a show.

Will probably tick off the unwashed masses who will only listen to old, morally bankrupt white dudes, though.

I can't really comment as I gave up on that "stale old embarrassment" a long time ago. :) On the surface it does appear to be a move to change the image of the show though; I'm curious to see (read: hear) how it goes.

Worked wonders for the NRL version, not that I watch either. But the ratings improved quite a bit and the image probably moreso since Erin Molan has taken up a big role.

Yep

Regardless what you think of Sam IF your going to watch it he is pretty much the only reason and now he will be unable to say the god awful things he says and that was the only reason you would watch it to see what trouble he would get in.

Actually didn't fargy

The ratings have gone downhill dramatically and I used to love that show and now that's unwatchable also. Although that's not her fault the whole show just seems different from the original that was so much better than the AFL version

I think the unwatchable part of the NRL show is the fat bloke they have for comedy that isn't funny and the whole thing seems disjointed

Ask NSW people what they think of the new line up on NRL
