What’s the actual story with Rhys Shaw ?

Coaching Norths is a trigger for depression. Jokes aside hope things get back to normal for him soon.

So Caldwell has requested a trade to a Big V club , how much longer can this go on ....Giants need to sort this out .
Hope they make the most of the trade situations .

I don't think they've helped themselves by extending Leon Cameron

Seems oddly coincidental that they extend Cameron and there is a mass exodus. Someone at GWS didn't interpret the tea leaves correctly.

I know it's easy (and fun, too) to take potshots at North but he is resigning for mental health reasons. I'd rather we don't make fun of people doing that.

Agreed.

Please keep it in check people.

What’s the actual story with Rhys Shaw ?

Has had some pretty severe mental health issues which means he is unable to continue in the high pressure coaching job.

I feel really sorry for him and don't think the club helped him out at all. He got the gig partly because he was young and cheap, given they had to payout two years of Brad Scott

's contract. Despite everyone knowing that senior coaches need a lot of experience (which he didn't have) they failed to recruit an experienced mentor to help him out. Then COVID comes along and he is thrown into hubs, a disrupted season and an absolute disaster on-field. That would have been a lot of stress to deal with.

Now that he's been burnt out the word is that Paul Roos will be parachuted in to help out the new coach (Michael Voss

being strongly considered). Where has the money come for this, given they are still paying Scott, may have had to pay Shaw a little bit (or maybe not) and the softcap has been cut by 40%?

Good old AFL, as long as you stuff your club badly enough, they will swoop in with plenty of support and extra money to get you through.

So there's supposed to be a massive thunderstorm in Brissie tomorrow.

Unfortunately cant see how the Cats can get it done. Will have to put up with Richmond nuffies for another year I think.

Heaven forbid the AFL gift it to them next year with the same fixture as well...

It's been drier than Perth in January up here this month, but the weather has changed this week - the monsoonal build-up is underway; not breaking yet, but it is overcast skies and very humid all of a sudden.

Tomorrow is forecast with a medium chance of storms - if they form the scheduling of the match in the evening means the two may coincide and impact upon the final result.

Sunday is the day set for severe storms - looks to be one of the best storm setups this way for at least a year.

What unholy deal has Richmond made with Satan?

What unholy deal has Richmond made with Satan?

They recruited him from the Gold Coast via Free Agency.

They passed his curse onto the Melbourne Demons.

Shaw didn't help himself in the job interview when we told the Board what they wanted to hear as opposed to the reality of the situation.

Hope its the biggest storm in 1000 years and its a goal less game.

Went to the 2005 GF and have never watched the game since. Watching it now on the AFL app. I never really worry about the commentary but this has been the most bias I have ever heard. Walls was a disgrace.

every game Ive ever watched the commentary is fairly shit.

Just a few decent quotes over the journey to hold on to.

Commentary have gotten better over the years, but it's still ****ed.

I'm not sure if any posters watch NBA or NFL (or any other sport) but they commentate games perfectly. Just a raft of professional commentators talking about the semantics of the game in front of them. No circle-jerking of the 'melbourne glory days' or browny talking about his concussions. No bruce getting off on Dusty's avoidance of tackles.
