As good as Harley Reid is, Ben Ronke had him covered.

Honestly, I thought he was the next bit thing and he basically faded away so quickly

Injuries hurt him and then form along with the teams performances seemed to kill his career.

 

[Tesla Tenet]

You can see why the Eagles have improved so quickly!!!!!!

Geelong have never played in Darwin before. How are the diabolical after Darwin games?

I think he hit 'send' a week too soon

I think the Chinese got it wrong this year… according to their lunar calendar, 2024 is the year of the Dragon… but should it actually be the year of the Horse ??!!

I’ll fess up - I’ve been one of Horse’s biggest critics in the past .., and below are the main reasons why, but for each gripe I’ve added some comments about what the ‘2024 Horse’ has been doing differently:

* not playing Heeney in the middle - well whether it was planned or not, Isaac has played predominantly in the guts this year and is now the best player in the league!

• too conservative game style - this used to kill me, but this year we are playing fast attacking risk-reward footy and boy isn’t it just fantastic to watch!
• similar to last point, Horse always wanted to put the cue in the rack whenever we had a decent lead going into the last quarter - but there are no signs of that this year and we are running out games better than ever
• no plan B’s - this also used to bug me that whenever the opposition would get the better of us, it felt like Horse would stubbornly stick with plan A, and we’d usually end up losing the game - well this year, he and his staff seem to have all the right answers and we’ve been bouncing back strongly from poor periods in a game … also feels like we’ve been winning in a variety of ways too

And by not rushing Parker back into the side, he is sending a strong message to the team that this year, you 200% have to earn your spot!

Prbly a few other things as well, but I have rambled on for too long … may 2024 be the year of the Horse!!

Completely agreed!

To put it back on topic - I know there's been talk over here (in SA) of both Nicks & Hinkley getting the boot (on weeks were they lose). I'm concerned that Leon Cameron has been a huge reason for our form & he still has aspirations for a head coaching gig... Cox has also been around a while too...

Hinkley getting the boot?

God I hope not - Sack Hinkley threads are the epitome of calm, reasoned, nuanced debate … a true icon of Bigfooty!

Port sacking Hinkley, much like Essendon winning a final, will be the saddest days in footy

 

[cherub]

It was interesting that the commentators for the Freo-St Kilda game noted that Patrick Voss (Freo) and Cooper Sharman (St Kilda) had both been members of the GWS academy, but overlooked by GWS. Isn’t one of the rationales for academies being to increase the number of players available?

Tarryn Thomas charged again , what a pathetic unit he must be

Just seen the media story. Fair to say his AFL career is all but over if it wasn't already.

You can't fix stupid with some people. He's beyond help.

 

[bedford]

Vic shield cricketer Will Parker will make his debut for the filth only 3 Months since playing against the Pakistan

 

[MR0808]

Wonder what Scott will say now

 

[caesar88]

Hiring David Zita is the best thing Fox Footy ever did. He does his job but also seems completely in on the joke how stupid and obsurd his job actually is sometimes

 

[Ed_Gein]

Think I'm sick to the back teeth at the amount smoke they're blowing up Harley Reid's arse. 4 minutes dedicated to talking to Petracca and Toby Greene

about him on AFL 360.

 

[bedford]

Think I'm sick to the back teeth at the amount smoke they're blowing up Harley Reid's arse. 4 minutes dedicated to talking to Petracca and Toby Greene about him on AFL 360.

Of course they'll talk about to Petracca after Reids push off on him and then burning him off , that doesn't happen to Trac to be fair Ed

 

[Ed_Gein]

Sure, he's a great talent, but I think they're going well over the top with the amount of coverage they are giving him. Did you watch the 4 minute segment? Felt really forced.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

They all change their tune.

Parker is appealing

Parker is appealing

You have a type then

 

[liz]

Parker is appealing

He most certainly is. Very.

 

[Millky95]

You have a type then

He is good Luke-ing

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

What are the grounds on appeal? does he risk further than 6 if unsuccessful?
