    I feel for him.....he's inherited a disgruntled bunch it seems. Couldn't imagine they'd be disgruntled with him though. He faces a massive challenge.

      Should get all the support he needs and the club should take the long view. Pretty sure they will. Bit sad really seeing they have had a very strong culture since entering the comp

        All aboard the exciting Gold Coast train, that is a powerful brand of footy, finals quality footy. Now love watching them play.

        Crows, who could they beat this year on their efforts so far?

          The off field issues for the crows have crept on field. When you have a club champion saying they don't feel welcome at the club you know there is a problem. Plus I haven't been impressed with the things Riccuito has been saying lately.

            Nicks could easily be collateral damage with all the board and executive carnage that is coming.
            New direction, new coach.

              I'd like to have seen that game. Never thought they were a "bad team" as such - they beat the Swans at home a couple of years ago after all. Just needed a spark and maybe they have found it.

              I think Brisbane are an enjoyable team to watch and enjoyed their game this weekend. Notable feature of that and the Swans game I thought was that they were both hard and physical in the right way, going hard at the ball without the petty theatrics of GWS.

              Plenty to talk about this week with the COVID and the hub issues!

                I watched the GC v Crows game. Here are a few things I noticed:
                - GC looked a lot like Richmond. Manic pressure everywhere, and a strong key forward clunking marks (King = Lynch). I never rated Brandon Ellis, but maybe he's a influencer like Stewy Maxwell was for us.
                - Crows are a rabble, and hub or no hub isnt an excuse.

                  Common Steroid Could Be Cheap and Effective Treatment for Severe COVID-19


                  Why not just give the whole Essendon Team steroids to help them fight off COVID-19?

                    Biggest mistake the bombers made was giving up the 'roids. Should have stuck firm with hirdy.

                      It's a shame about how that Essendon Steroid saga was handled. I had the club folding and moving to Tassie and being rebranded the Tasmania Devil Bombers. I designed a new team logo. I still have a garage filled with Devil Bomber jackets. Ludwig Venture Capital LLC took a big hit on that one.
