I always hated Carlton growing up, but look forward to them getting their shit together, think it will add plenty to a competition which imho is getting more dull all the time.


Commercial interests are the over riding factor in almost every decision made around a big table in club land and it's bullshit.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Absolutely, that continual pursuit of the next dollar leads to greater stage-managing and lack of fairness .. To be fair it's not just AFL, but for dinosaurs like me it's killing sport

Yep whilst it's good to watch AFL the whole industry/corporate side of things is like Pauline Hanson, a turn off....
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Thats where if Bolton had developed an attacking game plan the fans/ club would be able too handle big losses.
Better to lose by 10 trying to kick 20 then lose by 10 trying to strangle the game.

Mightn’t work but we couldn’t do any worse than currently.
It wouldn't work. The players would have a massive sook and your best players would walk out.

Such is the current generation.

Rocket was the last of this genre, will be the last IMO.

Clarko has similar traits but has far more strings to his bow, the difference between being a strong firm coach vs just an angry man.

Maybe SOS is looking for a new job in the pub?

Teague was our forward coach. Speaks volumes that he's now the interim coach IMO.

Damian Hardwick and Worsfold have both said in the past 48 hours that he can coach. So I'd defer to them but whether he can coach (as a longer term judgement) is unknown.

Dimma said he'd have him in his coaching group which I think is glowing praise.

Anyway, we move on. Cos we have no choice but to.

Lyon never brought up anything other than footy matters. Judd could’ve replied in turn & kept on topic but chose to have a dig at Lyon’s personnel life.
Poor form.

An interesting one

The last 3 premiership coaches were all rookie coaches

Simpson
Hardwick
Doogies coach

I personally would want sam mitchell as coach with an experienced former coach as an assistant

Players need a fun young dude to connect with but also someone who is intimidating and youll fear letting down, sam is modern day leigh matthews imo
