Melbourne Death Ride 2025 - we’re getting the next Andy McGrath

@BAAKKEERRRR

Steven King their new coach apparently…

Researching the sequel to “Misery”?

[j_w]

Sounds like Bucks hadn’t committed whether he wanted the job or not. Melbourne made the right call - Essendon would have begged. And we know how that turns out!

[saladin]

Buckley is very likely Tasmania’s first coach and it sounds like he was keeping that option open.

[Ants]

Not sure why anyone would want that job.

[SplitRound]

Because pretty much everyone who wants to be a head coach is the kind of person who sees a poison chalice and thinks they’re immune, like Westley in The Princess Bride, when in fact they’re grossly overestimating their competence, like Vizzini in The Princess Bride. I recently re-watched The Princess Bride.

Seems like Hayden Skipworth dropped out last minute, I wonder if he’s being lined up to replace Voss next year?

[sausageroll]

Anyone who wants to be a head coach just likes money.

there aren’t that many jobs which pay you a million plus a year.

[dingus]

Plus what, exactly?

[sausageroll]

More than a million dollars a year

[dingus]

I throw the perfect alley-oop and you bounce it straight off the rim…

Dingus I’m so hungover that everything will pass me by today

[dingus]

Come back tomorrow and if it doesn’t click I’ll give you a super helpful explanation.

Alternatively, and given the only other like is from @theDJR, this may be a case of ancient blitz lore slowly and sadly eroding over time …

SUPER, ■■■■■

… by having a little bit of water dripping onto it?

face ID came too late for some

@Goaloss

Friend of mine is mates with some of the players. There was a few that wanted out but were talked into staying. The pitch was that this year they have a big crack, and if it doesnt work out they get traded as desired.

So far, looks like their list manager is going to be busy in trade week.

Oliver
Spargo

Goodbye 2026 Hawks death ride. What might have been.

[sausageroll]

You can still trade for futures.

[Captain_Jack]

It is speculated on here that the Dees want to trade up. We could trade them their own pick back for say 2 first round 2026 picks. Double down on another death ride. The notion is wild l agree, but does have some merit.
