King is a trick and that’s his schtick because AFL coaching is too hard.

There’s a difference between being contrarian and stupid but stupid sells.

I know right. Even really stupid sells and King's boss has built an empire on it.

North Melbourne Cunnington - best inside mid in the afl this year, underrated Gun! Shaun Higgins - Dual B&F and silky inside mid with toughness, good ball winner, elite user Robbie Tarrant - in the handful of best KDs in the AFL Ben Brown - Runner Up in the Coleman last season, sitting third at...

This club needs to come out on the front foot and declare that Brad Scott will not be considered for the senior coaching job. I don't care what process they say they are putting in place, if he gets the gig, no matter how they try to skew it or spin it, it'll smack of cronyism and once again we'll ...

I know certain posters on here sniggered when I suggested Alan will be leaving a good legacy but I genuinely believe he has, as do many others. The departure was professional and done in such a way that the club and players are not stuck in the type of kaos that usually surrounds coach departures. K...

Only GC has a worse list. We are just below Hawthorn, who are also rubbish. Carlton have heaps of Upside, with some really impressive talent, including who I think is the best player in the comp. Any team you name besides GC, I could name 3 players that are better than our best player, which is sti...

Forget the poll, say it now for it to come back to haunt you. Who do you want? How do you want our coaching structure to look like? Money where your mouth is time. N.B.: Regardless of who we get, the club will get my money & support (at least for 3 years!) I do understand others dislike for som...

A Lovett mark II If you think I was scathing when we took that drunk (although my opinion was unpopular at the time) If we consider Bennell, I will drive down to Moorabbin and chin the list Manager for wasting my money. Although, at least Bennell isn’t a woman basher. And yet Ben Cousins was the ma...

This might sound silly but go and do the AFL predictor. I did and endeavoured to see what would happen if we win our last 6 games giving us 12 wins (I know , highly unlikely!). Even with a percentage of circa 90% I had us finishing 8th and that was not picking implausible results in other games. In...

Wins very relevant and not because of the importance to Rats but important to getting hope for 2020 and starting a winning culture. Yeah I heard that same tripe in the torn thread when arguing against keeping Richo 2 years ago. It was drivel then and is now. Play the long game, this season is a wri...

I would cut it deep, absolutely start again 2001 style Get decisions right, you can be contending in 3 years, as we did in 04 (and like Bris are now) Starting again with a foundation of elite talent allows you to build an era of sustainable success, something you need to win a flag. At the moment, ...

If we can make the 8 we could do some real damage. Ratts has finals experience which will be so fortuitous.

We should win every game now? Right?? The reason we were poor is gone, I expect us to win all 6 I reckon we showed signs in the first half against the Cats that we could finish strongly so was it going to happen anyway and the extra spike in energy that comes from a new coach will just help it alon...

Who says icky...

Losing is the worst thing for a club and everyone involved especially with where we are at. We need a winning culture quickly and anyone says we should tank to get draft picks hasn't got a clue.

The pre-loaded hate for Scott will be a huge upside for the haters and will avoid having to wait until the honeymoon period is finished. The haters could put a solid pre season in and hit the ground running come round 1 2020. are you insinuating the haters are the same haters that hated the newly d...

The GWS win, the industry sat up and took notice.

The worst loss, the last 17 seconds of the Port game...a chance at finals ripped away.

I'd still blame Richo.

Now we have a new coach we won't lose. Don't discount some percentage boosters too.

EMBARrASSING.

The selection of a coach that has coached a team in his own right is also what we will be targeting. FFS it won't be Robert Harvey. We are passed the development phase. We now have a list that is almost within stiking distance of playing finals, 'almost' being the important operative word. We can't...

Now that Richo is gone we could possbily win the next 6 straight and make finals.

Well finish 9th or 10th
