Round 17: the other games. Oh groan, we're in a bunfight.

I think Tasmania might want their own team as well rather than a transplanted North Melbourne.

Yes, the Taswegians have made it very clear they will not accept a transplanted team. Now Mark McVeigh has said he would be
interested in the North gig. The plot thickens....

Maybe has he seen some writing on the wall.....and it says Clarkson.

With 2 vacant coaching positions for Clarko to chose from, my guess is Don Pyke's name will now get increasingly mentioned. Does Ross Lyon want to coach again? I think both North and GWS will appoint an experienced senior coach and not a newbie.

It's already happening.

Clarko, Simpson, Don Pyke: Who will North target as its next coach?

[cherub]

I reckon Pyke is too smart to drink from that poisoned chalice.

Could Pyke be the next Swans couch when John Longmire decides to hand over the reins?

My assumption remains McVeigh.

[i'm-uninformed2]

You know it’s a crap club when they decide it’s solely the problem of the coach.

North are in the middle of the deepest of rebuilds, which the entire club from the chair, CEO and head of football would have signed off on. Noble might have had limitations, but the idea he is solely responsible is nonsense.

Carlton look good for their decision right now. But can you imagine how Teague would look if he’d had the benefit of a fit Cripps and Curnow the past two to three years, plus from what I’ve read his view they should target Cerra and Hewett.

I’m just glad we don’t have a trigger happy club that can’t settle on a strategy and stick to it.

Anyway, for trying to intrude in our territory years back and for your fans being a bunch of racist trash bags booing Goodes in his final game, may North fans enjoy the long, crappy road ahead.

[KTigers]

Obviously booing Adam in his last game whilst playing at home is beyond poor. Those North fans are just total losers. But it's unlikely
they are all that bad. All of their players can play footy. They just give up too easily when things are going against them, hence the
big scores against them. There was a quote from Bob Murphy years ago where he talked about the Dogs poor years and whatever the
score line was, the opposing teams always thought they would win and were just waiting for the Dogs to crumble, which they
invariably did. I suspect North are in a similar situation at the moment. It can't be fun, as it wasn't for Murphy.

[stevoswan]

Just thought I'd chuck this is here....it is another game (in another code!) but I watched the entire State Of Origin decider tonight. I don't care too much for league but understand the basics and follow the Storm as a Vic and I must say it was an absolutely pulsating game. Brutal at the start and relentless throughout....and Queensland got the chockies.

Apologies to most Swans fans for that last bit.
