I was being facetious Paul - should have used an emoticon or two  :)

Of course the AFL coaches know who is coaching well.  That only four of the last ten Alan Jeans award winners were the premiership coach indicates that the AFL coaches believe that there are more important criteria than lifting the cup.  The fact that Hinkley won it in 2013 and 2020 suggests that he has been on top of his game for a long time and may have a lot more to offer than an ambitious assistant coach.


👍

No worries. I knew you were kidding. Words + reading somebody's work for many years = pretty clear communication.

Looks like Will White is out, and Sam Walsh is in.

McGovern named as an emergency.

Perhaps keeping him away from that 'trigger' as rumoured.

Yes, agree. I smiled when I saw his name on the AFL website. He's been out for 10 weeks apparently.

I'm at the palliative care unit at the Austin watching my dad expire so for the first time in living memory he won't be watching his beloved blues go around this weekend.  Emotionally I'll have a lot riding on this game and hope we give a good account of ourselves against a side we don't normally play well against, because they think we're soft
Sorry to hear Prof, may he last days/hours be comfortable and peaceful.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Lewis Young to 'pick up' Aliir Aliir as a defensive forward.

It will give him confidence in his body going into pre season.
Fingers crossed he has an uninterrupted pre season

Why is playing walsh dumb?

There's two games left, and if he's going to get hurt, then he'll get hurt, but if he's fit and training, there's no reason not to play him.

These guys are competitors.  They dont want to sit on the sidelines and train.  Training is boring.  You play because you love playing the game, and will be retired a long time when its over.
