Re: YOUR CHOICE FOR NEXT COACH

Surely it can't and won't be Lyon. Buckley might also be repeating the Ratten recycling unsuccessful coach trip. We chose Watters, Richardson, Ratten, over Banger... (how'd that go?) Banger or Hayes are certainly more deserving, and I'd be very happy with either. But we really need to find our Craig...

Re: Ratten sacked

It's not bad news... but 4 months after a contract extension?

And you'd certainly hope they have a replacement in pocket.

Big moves is what we need, they've gotta stick the landing now.

Re: De Goey offered 5 years from the Pies .

I'd rather we punt on someone who's potentially too wild than too fragile.

The 'fresh start' thing makes sense, and we seem to have more luck reforming bad boys than bad bods or soft heads.

Could be our biggest nab since Hamill/Gehrig...?

Re: Clarko and the Hawks disgusting behaviour.

Yep. So the process plays out.

Meanwhile, this is a footy forum (and it's an AFL investigation)... not a court of law.

Re: Clarko and the Hawks disgusting behaviour.

It’s hard to imagine that these things didn’t occur as stated… What’s missing is the context. The first story for example, those aren’t rationale responses to the challenge. Hence the question becomes what was happening that got the club so worried like that? That leads to the two obvious follow up...

Re: Clarko and the Hawks disgusting behaviour.

Hawks had the report 2 weeks ago, you'd have to assume AFL pretty much did also. Interesting timing for a leak of part of the report.... midweek after the bulk of finals and brownlow, and only a few days before the biggest game of the year, which overshadows and dwarfs everything else. I wonder wher...

Re: De Goey 5 year deal 800 a year.!!

Surely by far the greatest risk in giving a big contract to any player (including De Goey) is the risk of long-term physical injury. Then there's also the risk of mental health problems developing, depression, addiction. And then there's the risk that they'll punch or grab someone while out in a nig...

If it were possible, in a heartbeat.
