Whisper is that coaching deal has been done, and Eugene said today that he hoped it would be announced within two weeks. Very mum on who it might be, but Hardwick would have to be the red hot fave, with Brad Scott next in the market it seems.
Eugene also said:
Chances of home game in Perth next year less than 50%.
No likelihood of Good Friday game in next few years.
Asking AFL for our game before bye next year to be in Perth to allow players to stay on for a couple of days.
We had Bucks until his brekkie with Mick on the Saturday, said the good thing is Collingwood is now paying an extra $1.5 million a year as a result. Said it was Geoff Walsh who got the deal done, not Eddie.
Highlights:
Barry Cheatley, Peter Steward and Michael Redenbach taking over the proceedings at the pre-match function and putting on a show!
Best of it was when Barry fell off the stage. Wish I had recorded it.
Catching up with all the local Roos fans, and a few brave souls who had flown in for the day.
Lachie Hansen explaining why sugar goes on Weet Bix before milk.
Petrie's game.
Lowlights:
Eagles flogs celebrating like they had won a flag at 3-4 time, geez it would have been sweet if we'd stormed over the top of them, but we needed to be 2 goals closer at the last change.
Jones's hamfisted attempts to dodge tackles, Thomas's lack of influence and poor kicking.
The bloke behind us who kept bagging Thompson, saying "you're crap 16" over and over again until the man formerly known as Pharro offered to buy him a budget so he could learn a few player names.
