Just this little black ducks opinion, but I reckon Richmond win easy tomorrow night & then Melbourne send them out in straight sets the week after.

I’m sure Clarko managed to find time for a coffee with Gil this week :)


Gil said the other day he reckons it's a bad look when club openly court players who are looking to change clubs.

Doesn't look as bad as the CEO meeting with a senior coach to talk about the new rules before anyone else gets to hear about them.

Would have thought talking to the smartest coach in the comp about new rules was a clever move. No point talking to the dud coaches about them, they can't work out a game plane to make advantage of them.

I don't have a problem with Clarkson and McLachlan meeting, but for McLachlan to then come out and criticize clubs for doing the same thing is, well, like him, a bit rich.

As time goes by, Gil is becoming so much like his predecessor - arrogant & out of touch.

Yep for sure. Reckon he started off very well but hasn’t handled a lot of thing well lately

The age podcast mentioned Brendan gale as a possible candidate after Gil - apparently he turned down an offer to be james Sutherland’s replacement

A couple of easy kills for the Cats at home masking the lack of ruckman, Gawn will have a field day and Melbourne win by 5 or 6 goals.

Since round 17 they've lost to Adelaide, Richmond and Hawthorn, had to wait until after the siren to steal one from Melbourne in Geelong and beat Brisbane, Fremantle and the Suns at home. Hardly inspiring form.

He was going to meet with Scotty in the Park but all Scott did was stand around and guard grass.

You will know if geelong are on in the first qtr by their goal kicking, if they are better than 50% they will go on to win.

The love affair is sickening, it was all about Melbourne last night on 360. Seems like most people expect them to win, the pressure is on.
