Ok so now Hooker’s gone, you want the coaching staff gone too?

Why not say “managed” rather than “dropped”.
Pretty poor treatment by the club for someone who rejected a big offer from Freo at the time of the saga and saved the club by being the first to sign on and who plays his heart out but his body won’t let him do what he used to.
Dropped or managed, it is only a word, it makes no practical difference. As for the poor treatment angle? This decision has got nothing to do with Cale’s loyalty, not should it have. This decision is not based on what is now ancient history, it is based purely on form, as such decisions should be. If anything this decision is a few weeks late in coming. Enough with the emotional tug on the heart strings. Hooker himself would not try to cling to such a defence.
Anyone know how many goals he needs to kick to win the VFL goalkicking?
There is only one person that he has a great opinion of.
True clubman. Hope he gets back for a couple of games before the end of the year.
I would say Hooker and Zaha will be guarantee starters for the last round of the year
Which is weird for someone who writes like they just throw random words and letters in a Yahtzee cup and posts them in the order that they land.
Lol. No better than last year.
You should be a comedian!
Spot on. We will be good next year, and 23 we should be making a real challenge for top 6.
I think 24 onwards we should be a really really good team.
The end could get rough this year. Mids are tiring, kids are tiring and we haven’t been in Melbourne for a month?
I think we are in a way better position than last year. Add another good draft pick and some astute pick ups and we will be even better next year. Cheer up Nino!
Yes, this year has seen some big improvements. A little more recruiting and we will advance further next year and further in 2024. Forget 2021, it is merely a ‘growth’ year.

don’t assume anything, don’t take anything for granted, we need to impove across the board, we still have a couple of gaping holes to fill at either end of the ground and for all the optimism about the midfield they are yet to prove anything as a group. Can we find the right balance in there, can guys play roles away from the midfield and be effective as a rotation. There is cause for optimisim but there is a lot of water to go under the bridge still.
Must be me- he’s got me on ignore.
What a coach says to the media is rarely the same as what gets said behind closed doors.

We are probably no better than last year if we finish the season poorly
No, we definitely are better and more promising.
we could win a flag and some people on here would be complaining that our winning margin wasn’t big enough

Anyone know how many goals he needs to kick to win the VFL goalkicking?
He’ll probably win the senior one without another game
meant the league one, no shot at the Coleman.
Yep figured that.
Just couldn’t remember if him or tip had more for the ones

i’d be complaining that we should have selected guelfi
“These back-to-back flags could have been a three-peat, if only we’d played Guelfi.”
