Opinion Non-Crows AFL 12: It's the confectionery with 1000 uses

[Redline]

No doubt SOS will make a mess of whatever happens. He'll go down as one of the worst list managers ever.

A couple of the classics over there.
Butters + Bergman (just re-signed) + picks
Curtin + Soligo as a starting point

Not sure they're aware that these players would have to agree to play at the Saints also.

Unfortunately for the Saints they will end up having to accept well under what he's worth. No club outside of Gold Coast can probably satisfy them with picks or young talent.

Port didn't know 12 months what picks they would need but as it turned out having a lesser hand to begin with will work in their favour.

Not culturally.

Maybe.

Yeah unfortunately for them they won't be getting an A grade player back the other way. Will have to make do with the first round picks and maybe a role player types.

Despite by hatred of Port I've never been able to hate Boak. Seems like a genuine guy. A shame his career was at that franchise.

He was a good loyal player for Port Power, and did alot for kids, but he was a bit of a scumbag in others. He cheated on his long term partner twice, the last time with a woman at the club.

Seems that way even with other clubs involved. While there is no way he gets to the draft having a player out of contract really makes it difficult. In the end you take what you get.

Yeah cheating sucks, but doesn't mean he's not a decent person otherwise.

I think his ex would say he isnt decent.
But as I said he was a good loyal player for Port and does alot off the field with kids that have cancer.
Woman have been the weakness of alot of people.

He's human.

Melbourne President Brad Green: "Our club needs a new voice"

Journalist: "Simon do you think the club needs a new voice?"

Simon Goodwin: "Not at all"

I never know why clubs do these pressers and include the person being sacked as an unwilling participant. It's like when Adelaide retired Douglas or Pyke sacked Adam Simpson.

 

[Cleric]

He's human.

Hes in good company.
JFK, Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kobe Bryant, Trump....

Goodwin spoke quite well. Green seemed a bit shaky with a few of the questions

Sleeping with one of your team-mates missus is not a great human trait.

But generally speaking he's a good bloke. My wife and I used to volunteer at Ronald McDonald house, Trav was there quite a bit even when he wasnt asked to be.

Yeah he had a genuine feeling for kids with cancer. It struck him pretty hard seeing them like that and he did alot to try and help.

 

[StonesThrow]

Dammit!

A cooked Boak added to their shitness and to my delighted entertainment.

Thought he was actually alright this year relative to some of their other players. Better than I thought he would be

Bobby Hill out for Collingwood with gastro. Might not change much but could disrupt their prep, force them to isolate others at training depending on his contact, maybe enough for Hawks to Jag a win on Thursday, and have a damaging player out of match fitness for our game....... Really clutching at any advantage we might gain here.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Goodwin had to go. Does anyone think he will get a head coaching gig anywhere else? Can’t think of a premiership coach with so many question marks around him. Also he always looks like he’s recovering from a big night .

Looks like?

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Gastro???

After ongoing “personal issues”. He’s having a bad run of luck.

I dont remember this story. Who was the teammate?

Gee that's an early call for gastro,
I wonder if something else is going on with him at the club ?

Wasnt Bailey Smith out with 'gastro' earlier in the year?

 

[GreyCrow]

Homesickness

I think so, no-one is going to ask too many questions with that one

 

[Cromulant]

His SANFL coach a few weeks back, or so the rumour goes.

Elijah Hollands is back, after 12 weeks out coincidentally.

There is, not hard to search for it on here on other social platforms to figure out the stuff he's been dealing with this year. Personal family issues that rightfully the media aren't reporting on because it's none of our business.
