Essendon just gave me flashbacks to when our board sacked Voss for Paul Roos.

I think I remember that story, actually.Nice to see some coaches are coming around to the idea that the answer to every in-game situation isn't just to slow the tempo or defend more.
Which reminds me of my favourite Ross story from back when he was coach of St Kilda...
About halfway through the last quarter of a game in which they were beating some hapless mob by about 12 goals to three, as was their wont, the Saints decided to run down the clock, chipping the ball sideways and backwards and taking precisely zero risks. When asked later what that was all about, Ross replied something along the lines of 'we need to be prepared in case we're five points up in a grand final with two minutes to go...'
Well, Ross, you weren't 'five points up' in the grand final, you were five points DOWN, and your players had NFI what to do about it A-HAHAHAHA!!
You would have enjoyed that one, ZoBlitz?
Neil Mitchell might have to admit on air that he got it wrong. Not sure he knows the word.
North would have to be filthy if it plays out like that.After earlier in the day it being said/reported Essendon haven't spoken to Clarkson, tonight now apparently they have. Imagine if they swipe him from right under Norf's noses. I'd actually feel sorry for them if that happens
Pretty filthy how we were just about the most affected by Covid and no other Victorian club has gotten it yet
I wouldn't mind betting that some other clubs weren't as diligent with their testing.... and with players self testing/reporting to their clubs I also wouldn't be surprised if they tested positive and were feeling fine they kept it to themselves.Pretty filthy how we were just about the most affected by Covid and no other Victorian club has gotten it yet
LOL, great minds think alike Gadz, you beat me by that much.Finals infections would work out just fine.
Wonder if some clubs are not being as diligent with testing.
Neilo’s backed a few wrong ponies of late.Neil Mitchell might have to admit on air that he got it wrong. Not sure he knows the word.
He has a few weeks to recover .Jeremy Cameron with a low grade hamstring strain. Gotta be very doubtful for the qualifying final.
He has a few weeks to recover .
It’s a Chris Scott ploy.He does but you'd expect he'd be just on the edge and if it's touch and go they might err on the side of caution figuring he'll get an extra week, or ideally two, to recover with their double chance. It's the same hammy he injured thrice last year so I think they'll be cautious. Looms as a potential big out.

Could you imagine Grand Final week if a big player eg. Lachie Neale, Jeremy Cameron, Christian Petracca, Tom Lynch tested positive and were feeling perfectly fine, can not see that player or club pulling a healthy gun out of a GF.
I didn't say it was the "wisest strategy" BRAB, just put/putting my opinion out there of what I think would/could be going on. It appears society in general is moving on from mandatory measures re Covid I'm of the opinion an industry with participants at an extremely low risk form Covid should too, ie. should be individual health decisions not one size fits all.A few weeks ago when you had the same line of thought people put a fair bit of time into explaining why this wouldn't be the wisest strategy to prevent an outbreak. Did you just ignore all that?

Really felt bad for Rutten after Hind's reaction at the end there. Leppa would've choked him.
Rutten can't continue now.
