Every year since the top 8 positive f/a ends at top 6, sometimes maybe most times even positive win/loss. That’s why every year, if you get on a decent enough run, every team is a chance at position’s 7 & 8. They’re the lottery spots.

“So basically, I’m signing for another five years. It’s very adaptable though, I’ll be the head coach next year then after that it’s basically see how we go.”

Just seen him Twitter (The Storm account) telling his team he’s signed for FIVE years. Head coach next year at least, then maybe more, or maybe into football management role.

Gus won’t pay overs, which some idiot club will do if… when… there’s a bidding war for him The moment Gus walked in the door was the end of any play for Cheese if it wasn’t dead already.

One thing everyone saying throw the bank at him haven’t considered is the blatantly obvious: Gus won’t. And that’s why Cheese is never coming here. End of, full stop.

I reckon Smith would be thinking of 3 options in no particular order: What Bellamy is gonna do. More Premierships with Melbourne. Money. The latter if ridiculous a big chance of over riding the prior two because as always - money changes everything. And I reckon that’s where it counts us out...

I bet he won’t because he’s absolutely no need to. He could hold off till this time next year and have more options by the day, certainly more than Nov. First of which would be seeing what Bellamy is gonna do. And do remember, anything that comes after “apparently” in a sentence means...

JMK/BBO combo has a lot of potential.

And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder One of the four beasts saying, 'Come and see.' and I saw, and behold a white horse" There's a man goin' 'round takin' names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reachin' down...

This is the job at the club Gus has wanted for a long time. Listening to Gus over the years tells you we’ve always been his favourite. I’m paraphrasing here but I’m sure others would’ve heard - “Every footballer should spend some time at The Dogs” “ Football is in the walls at The Dogs”...
