Thomas may have had his faults, but nobody is perfect. The perfect coach does not exist. To be a coach, or a CEO or another type of leader, you need a vision and firm belief in that vision. Thomo was great to watch on that show as he had strong opinions and for some people, was a great foil for all ...

Trading, whether its AFL or the stock market, has inherent risks and you can do all the research in the world, but both are waiting games, in most trades anyway. Hold your breath and pray for a bit of blind luck.

Fiddling the B & F? My first reaction was that other clubs would assess him their own way, then I realised that its like selling your house, they say brew some coffee during a home open, have lots of flowers in vases, etc. Loris could be right

West Aussie members having a ticket to Subiaco included. We have to buy a ticket while normal mememberships include some passes into Etihad.

Agree with PJ.
I really don' have a problem, in fact I would prefer that he goes, Pelchen will pick a large young KPP who will fill a huge void in our structure.

Why isnt this in the Opp and Other Sports forum?

Just on last night's game. Freo did not appear to have anyone who was a liability, e.g. CJ poor kicking, Gilbo one-side only getting trapped on his left, Blake miskick, Kosi no second effort or recovery. But that's just my take on last night. The Crows would have gone WTF , and all their coaches wou...

I luv this show, maybe because I want to listen to CW talk shite, even my other half says CW talks garbage, and she doesnt follow footy! GT - someone said he is shifty and on the edge of something, I never thought of that, but its spot on! Its well worth watching IMHFO, on several levels. We know th...

Any sort of talk would take valuable time away from chasing more promising talent.
Minson would be a worthy pick but a bit costly (less money for other players) and i think he will stay putt, any talks would, for him, just be leverage l, nothing more.

Stanley and Ben. Every team needs very tall marking players, we need them on the park, boy we missed Rhys early in the season.

Work harder? I assumed he always worked hard, maybe Watters is after specific work like kicking skills Maybe not hard as in intensity, more focussed perhaps ?

What was wrong with Zac Dawson? This one still stumps me.

At the risk of causing a storm, Dawson was "surplus to requirements"

Game plan ! Yep! There was one game where he received several good passes on the wing or half fwd, some folk on here surmised that the kicker mistook the blond hair for Rooey. I agree. Subsequently, Jonesey looked for a h-pass off, worried about kicking. So the game plan may be to give him more supp...

My tip is Milne -4, GR8 if he can get more, but delivery to him will be crucial.

if the price is right dawes would be a good match for our forward line, if we can get him for $200k to $250k and a round 2 draft pick and some fringe players, good, it maybe an opportunity collingwood are looking at clearing some space in their salary cap. Dawes will be better if cloke goes, if clo...

I hope its true about Watters promising CJ is a key mid. He has worked his a* off for the club, sadly kicking poorly.
They may try something to addrees this in the pre-season, they are the experts. Not us. They know what they're doing

This was raised in another thread, but the Umpire Factor ( Margetts) will help Carlscum as well ! Whoever picks the umpires has an agenda, it wpuld appear

Maybe Ed is jealous of the Judd-Visy deal because he cant easily give Cloke $ under the table?

All the signs of massive self destruction....not dissimilar to our desperate measures with Malcolm Blight being the Messiah a few years back....let's hope it blows up in their faces....Malthouse steals Cloke form Pies and drives Blues into the ground, while Eddy demands investigation into Judd's de...

How will the numpty stiff us this week? Season's over, maybe he'll get out the reporting book 1. Close eyes when Milney gets scragged off the ball 2. Free kick to Carlscum if an opponent even dares to lay a finger on a Blue 3. Pay lots of frees to Carlscum at the clearances If the 3 Blind Mice do t...

I hope they sign him up for 5 years on $1m a year

I know he's a spud when the heat comes on

Agree
Cloke as a Blue is win-win. Makes the Filth angry for him leaving, and when he plays poorly in a Blue jumper, upsets the whole Blue army. Have to luv that!

Cloke to Carlscum wont necessarily get Malthouse excited, i think if he'd already decided on coaching, that would be the sweetener. It would be highly probable that Malty, BJ and the Greedy One could end up at Visy Park. Sad to see BJ leave, but if somehow we get a young, big KPP out of it, will mak...

Watters made reference to players' skill levels a few weeks ago. About the time of CJ's last game. A lot of us guessed CJ and Raph were in the gun. Cannot question their ticker and work ethic, they put in 110 % every week, but...

Stewie Loewe used to own a building company, building sheds and patios. Just a suggestion?

Dangerfield, from the Crows, right after signing a new contract, tweeted about his nice new Camry sitting in his driveway. Who is the Crows big sponsor? Seems easy enough, any rich Saint fan could arrange for free renovations for BJ's family's home in Gippsland maybe? In every single industry, stuff...
