Quietly. Why do we want to play finals? Fluke a win first week, get smashed the second and receive a top 6 draw in 2023?
Season is what is was. Give the players a send off, win and 9th great or lose and finish 10/11 then reload for next year.

If on 83 then probably not right. 99 to 100 is a gift Dean will always be grateful.

Don't think Sinclair would be a fan of Hill leaving.

If we trade Hill for pick 20 turn the lights off and lock the doors. No way on gods green land would we even consider it. Crazy talk.

Brekkie Saturday morning in Sorrento, Max and partner seated next table. Looked shattered and dejected. Maybe half a chuckle in 45 min. I decided to leave my kicking advice for another day.

On the development of the kids, has anyone ever been to Sandy on a calm still day. Every visit (many) the winds been howling and the footy crap. Hardly an environment to develop and excel.

If De Goey signs with us he'll miss the first 12 months confined in a mental institution.

People don't rate Sharman's game for at least a vote?
5. Marshall
4. Crouch
3. Steele
2. Sharman
0.5 Owens/Windhager (learning the game running with and shutting down some handy players)

First time this season I'll crack a player. Senior Coach every week. Players never.
Brad Hill. 800k gets you 8 deplorable bruise free soft acts and under no pressure 5 f50 entries straight to Geelong players. Silky smooth turnovers.
For the money shocking tonight. Gave us nothing.

Same time as most of the mids. 70-80% TOG. 25+ , 6 clears, 8 tackles, 1 goal (lads to get around him).

Take the win but hardly a convincing victory. Last three goals the Eagles players all fell over.

Easy to call for blokes to get dropped. Watched Sandy last week. Struggling to name anyone apart from Hannebery or Campbell to bring in.

I'll throw in Fergus Watts, Barry Brooks and Tom Lee. High anticipation, disappointing reality.

Hijacking DB Cooper's post, agree. Parachuting Amon and De Goey into the side is a must. Need the class and Ratts is aware it's finals in 2023 or 2024 will be under a media blow torch.

There was no way that people who hired him were going to fire him after 3. The resigning was always going to be after the bye. Unfortunately the timing was screwed with the losses. The Carlton win was the trigger. Another two years at which time most of the crew would probably have moved on or worke...

What I don't get is all Season in bursts when slip into 5th gear we move, we flow, we excite, we score. Q3 Bombers, 15 min vs Geelong, R1 Pies hitting front Q4, Freo for three quarters in Perth/ a half on the Docklands and we were unstoppable vs Tigers and Hawks. Not buying the queue in the rack Fri...

I'm a touch dyslexic so have only now sobered up following this advice. Cheers.

Out of interest. When Doggies were smashing us Q1 in clearance who did Ratts send to Smith and Bont to at least stem the easy extraction? Did nothing I could see. Nothing. 40 down, corridor a freeway, doggies moving the footy at will and we're chipping across the ground for no benefit. The coaches b...

See how he goes in the second half and pulls up.
Based on first two quarters a lock for senior selection. Too classy.

Go hard all you want on the list, unless the players are taught to play footy that wins games you're stuffed. All the top slides are structured and move the footy forward quick.
Last night we were smashed due to low footy IQ coaching.
