Does McQualter hate his own team or something? This doesn't really track with how competitive West Coast were against the reigning Premier to me.

Brisbane v West Coast
9 Harris Andrews (BL)
9 Lachie Neale (BL)
3 Dayne Zorko (BL)
3 Ryan Lester (BL)
2 Liam Ryan (WCE)
2 Josh Dunkley (BL)
1 Hugh McCluggage (BL)
1 Tim Kelly (WCE)

 
I’m yet to hear a single media person pull the whole, “it’s not the VFL anymore — you can’t just pull a Koutoufides out of the U19’s, or bring over a readymade Braddles or Sticks with a brown paper bag like you could in the 80’s!” shtick, either.
Really? I've heard lots of comments about Carlton being shit because they can't just a team with brown paper bags anymore.

In the media?

Uhhhh.....yehhh:

“I think, the people around Port Adelaide Carlton, and I’ll separate them from the club themselves, the people around Port Adelaide Carlton need to calm the farm a bit.

You can wish and hope and think and pray that you should be making finals, and then you can coldly assess what’s happened against what the planning was and you can go, ‘this is exactly where we should be. we are on a path, we are a fair way down the path’.

You want to see where the path leads? Sit tight. Stop the agitation. Stop the unrest. Stop this ridiculous idea that you’re this old SANFL VFL club that should rule the world. That’s not you. That’s not you in the AFL. You scratch and you claw for everything that you’re worth. And you put a plan in place and you follow that plan through.

The plan is, go to the draft, get a critical mass of young players, integrate them, have a good season — this is a good season, this is a clear pass, a clear pass what they have done — it improves next year on a natural trajectory.

And then you make your judgements. You’ve got a coach who’s got a trigger in his contract next year, so if they don’t make the finals and you think they should, then we say ‘thanks, I don’t think that path is going to lead us to where we’re going’.

There are clubs who have walked this path, they’ve got to the crossroads, and they’ve gone ‘do you know what? we actually believe in what we’re doing here. on we go’. And those clubs have profited enormously from it.”

is Caro ****ing Ken or what? Jesus christ.
 
Take Hinkley out of the equation, it was a rubbish decision. And if anger management psycho Sicily had shut the **** up then no one would even have known anything happened. But let them do all their stupid Tik Tok memes every time they kick a goal. That's ok.

Nah Hinkley deserved the whack he carried on like an absolute twat.
He did lol, but there is no lying that it was funny and great for telly.

To be honest she's spot on. The Ken fine was ridiculous, as much as he was a dick.

Simon Goodwin thinking, How can I finish my coaching career? I know, piss off my best player (because nearly killing your next best player didn't do it)

 
Fair to say we’ve had bucket loads of rain on the East Coast this summer storm season.
It’s avocado green from Sydney to Cairns.
A complete contrast to Adelaide when I was down there last month.
It's drier in Adelaide than a Pommy's bath towel :).

lol - they might get more rain for the re-scheduled Bris-Geel game on Saturday than the 9 ml they had on the day they were supposed to play 🌧️

Some St. Kilda fan has taken it upon himself to predict the winner of the next 56 AFL premierships. Essendon in 2027 seems a bit optimistic. He's obviously a pessimist too z because he doesn't think the Saints can win one:
