I was sort of in two minds about it but I realised something today.
The pies players were just too overawed about the occasion today, they played very poorly in the first three quarters. Not taking anything away from geelong they deserved the win but Collingwood was very flat and (perhaps) tired too.
I just think Mick needs to go out gracefully.
Coaching St Kilda is not the way to do that.
Bring on Scott Watters though!

what has the guy actually achieved. in 91,92,94 he was given the best of wa to achieved a premiership. it was a matter of when not if.
in 2002,2003 he was out coached and didnt quite have the cattle to get there, even though he had the $$$ behind him
in 2010,2011 he had the $$$ behind him again, he had the support staff around him. the club got him the players. the club developed them and he still couldnt get anywhere. he then stole max and ball and our game plan and was head and sholders above us in 2010. the problem is when you steal someones idea, you're not as smart as them and cant counteract their next move. even though he was so far ahead he almost lost GF1 from being out coached. lyon dropped the extra ruckman, used the 3rd man up to clear the stoppage, he put gilbert forward on maxwell to counteract the spare man in defence, and then he put ray/hayes on swan and let goddard go lose.
the reality is we dont have the $$$ to make a better than average coach in mick successfull. we need a talented young coach to take us fwd, to make up for our lack of $$$$
