Good luck Mick loved watching him as a player would always beat the 1st defender. Going to be tough for him though if he avoids the wooden spoon he's done a good job.

Surely Furner goes now? He was never the assistant coach that Bulldog needed. Bulldog needed assistant that was energetic, high attention to detail, innovative thinker, etc. This guy is none of these things, he is just "steady as she goes" .....
Potter was a smart option as interim; not currently in the inner coaching sanctum, but not totally alien as has been sent our third string players via our de facto Mounties partnership. Role will be overseeing, allowing both Sandercock & Furner to finally have more input now that the control freak no longer holds the reins. Baz was always threatened by Furner as he wasn’t his choice. Unfortunately Baz also undermined Sandercock. Hence the Monday morning fallout. Expect ZDC to start at 9.

I had a bad feeling about TB's future when TPJ brushed him after the Roosters game.

FMD if DZC starts at 9 it will be a miracle, he was playing shield at my club last year. Not first grade standard

Potter is a good pick for interim coach --> played for the club, has coached at FG level, in and about the club in a coaching capacity, likely not a big enough name to push for the role full time etc.

just no "Mick's at the wheel!"

Gus mentioned that Potter has no aspirations to be the long term coach on his podcast

Potter's job is just to take the heat while Gus works in the background, I'm happy with that.

Probably only mission is to finish 15th or higher to avoid the spoon.
Common ASSASSIN, now it's all smooth sailing to the top 8
