    Jake Niall from the Age has gone with it.

    He doesn’t speculate.

    Re: Assistant coaches merry go round

    So we are two coaches down.

    No talk of who we are looking at to being in.

    True but most of these coaching changes only start becoming news when they're either announced or about to be, so it should be no surprise that there's no talk.

    He's just he made our senior assistant is my understanding. Unless this is all unravelling.

    Reckon Bevo would be fuming at that after we announced Hansen as King’s replacement.

    Those asking for fresh blood in the coaching group (which I’m one of) will see if it’ll move the dial or not. Hopefully it’s not a case of be careful what you wish for.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    It has to be about money. No way in world he would leave a team knocking on premiership.

    No sure about Hansen working relationship with Voss, but Hansen been around forever at Whitten Oval.

    This is not good.

    I'm worried about the Gardner omission now.

    Also, how the *!*!*!*! do you drop LVDM who was integral in a prelim for a guy who's played maybe one good game and is coming back from a concussion.

    Are you saying VDM should have played ahead of Weightman? The guy who kicked 26 goals for the year and prior to the GF had only had one goalless game for the season? No way.


    Hansen is a big loss. I was really glad that he had seemingly accepted the senior assistant role.

    Who is available now? Dean Solomon? Get Gia or Matty Boyd back? Dale Morris promoted to assistant coach?

    Wait what?

    Must be joking.

    It takes a while to come back from concussion as EVERY one knows.
    You've got a guy who was integral in our greatest prelim victory ever and he's an auto exclusion?

    Can't agree.

    Weightman is good but I rate what Laith brings highly.

    We knew about King for ages should be well placed with his replacement.

    Bigfooty dropped John Barker and Ben Hart as names via SEN in theory.

    Cody is a far better player. The debate for me was never whether or not Cody played, but which of JJ or VDM (who was also under an injury cloud) was the sub.
