Good to see Ollie F getting a nod. Both him and his good buddy Hayward must be wondering what they've got themselves into.

Both probably had their best games for the club, so possibly they needed some settling in time under match conditions.
I do wonder what they think about the differences they're seeing between us and the Swans.
If I understand correctly, the Swans players are very hard and demanding of each other. I thats so, I would hope Will and Ollie have brought that with them because from an a outsider, god only knows we need some serious internal challening of one another. Especially on game do when the tide turned against us. Might be drawing a vey long bow here but perhaps there is a link between Will's and Ollie's very good games and Voss's presser comment that we put a full stop on the Coll run and fought it to the end.

We've been competitive in most games at stages this year.
The one thing we've avoided is four quarter thrashing.
You have to wonder whether the events of last Thursday will have an effect on the preparation for this game.

The coaching group in particular will be concerned about their own role in the Elijah situation and questioning themselves and wondering about ramifications.
It's hard to know the effect on the playing group, but Ollie will no doubt be concerned aabout his brother's welfare, as will others like Walsh who seemed to take Elijah under his wing in the off-season.

It will be a challenging process to get everyone's mind on the job for this game.

Found not guilty of historic sexual assault charges.
Not quite that simple. Not enough evidence to convict. The judge suggested that one of women involved was, in all probability, assaulted sexually. But there wasn't enough evidence to prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt.

Probably no the outcome that either party wanted, but that's it legally. No further action without considerable new evidence, which isn't happening.

Alistair Clarkson - North Melbourne
15 1 49

Michel Voss - Carlton
47 1 48

Given that some fans believe we are the new St Kilda, Vossy is knocking it out of the park.

Love him or hate him, Clarko has a hefty successful bank account of success to draw upon - Dawks... and he took over an absolute cot-case - Kangabies.

How does Clarkos first 10 years as a senior coach stack up against Vossy's  ;)

I agree,   mostly unfair and irrelevant comparison

The coaching group were replenished 6 months ago but you keep on burning the witches 👍🏼
Bring in the Inquisitors, they always get it right! ;)

The logic in the haters is laughable, they think The List is NBG, the Recruiting staff are NBG, the Medical staff are NBG, the MC is NBG and the Coach is NBG. I suppose after leaving some embers smouldering they now think The CEO is NBG too.

It's all sound logic. :D

It's pointless that I write this in trying to correct the perspective, because they can't think their way through their own arguments.

Actually, I think they aren't thinking at all! :o

Morons and Idiots repeat the same thing over and over again hoping for a better result.
Yea right,   much the same as a broken (LP) record...      Here's an idea,   CFC just stay the current trajectory without changing anything -  let's see where that leads us...
