      Although, they did try really hard...to win the free kick count.

        Weightman's career is pretty much over now. Once you lose the ability to stage for free kicks you are thrown out of the kennel
        pretty quickly. It doesn't matter how good you are at kicking and marking and handpassing. There's only one KPI that matters
        in the doggie pound.

          Fremantle are missing seven of their best 23. They are the real deal.

          Amiss has had a great debut with a couple of goals, but against lower opposition.

            Great to see the Hawks lose.....but it means we face a resurgent Bombers next week at our hoo-doo ground, the SCG.

            Things are suddenly not falling our way.....some stern tests of our teams character in the coming weeks to stop our top four chances from sliding away.

              Cameron quitting as Giants coach. Mark McVeigh likely to take over. Could make them more of a dangerous proposition.

                The only risk to us is they are in the market for a coach. I cant see us losing Longmire, but our assistants might be targets simply because they are already living in Sydney. Don Pyke worries me the most.

                  Unfortunate for Cameron, but it had to happen. Coaching/running the expansion clubs is extremely challenging. Sure they
                  get all those picks but there is so much more to operating a successful football club.

                    What an abject failure Forrest Gump has been, failing to deliver a flag with that list. But there is something deeper at that club.

                    He relied on a stodgy game plan, when he had a team born to fly and run and dare.

                    They had a chronic inability to manage injuries, particularly in recent years.

                    And their player development is clearly woeful. They kept inheriting the best talent in the nation, and those players regressed as their careers continued. Think Josh Kelly - once seen as one of the best talents in the game, who's now become a run-of-the-mill player - and signed on a king's ransom that will ruin their list managament for years to come. It's hard to point to a single player that got better after the age of 24.

                    Long may the plastics' misery continue.

                      Will be interesting what happens next for the Giants. I rated Cameron as a coach. Hope he has a rest, and stay's in game! AFL commissioner could be a good position - he is aware of the non Victorian struggles.

                      This allow them to recruit the strongest available coach. Suggest he has placed the team in front of his personal contract position..

                      Carlton will need to be on their A-game this weekend.

                      Mark McVeigh could be ready to take the reigns.

                      Is James Hird still assisting them?

                      Hmm Clarko may be an option? And Horse can have a mate to have coffee with more frequently..

                          Hmm, Clarkson at GWS. That would really elevate the local derbies to bitter grudge matches.

                            If I didn't already dislike GWS enough!

                                The list has always been overrated. Because most of the giants poached by other clubs have had pretty average careers since. Patton delisted. Shiel dropped.
