    I'm going to Hawks v Cats tonight. I'm hoping we can finally beat the cats to shut them up, this is our best chance.

    Wow, what a gutsy performance by the bombers, had me scared stiff they were gonna steal it away from the crows who played pretty ordinary in the first half!

    What do people think about Primus leaving? Who cares?

    8 wins from 40 games under Primus (with 5 of those as caretaker when Choco was shown the door in 2010) doesn't look good. How many other people would keep their job with an 80% fail rate ?

    Alistair Clarkson only won 4 games in his first year, and won the premiership 3 years later.

    Taking out the 5 wins as caretaker from the last 7 games of 2010, Primus has won 3 from 33 (over ~ 1.5 seasons) which is ~91% fail.

    How many did Clarkson win in his second year ? I don't know but I'd hazard a guess it was more than that.

    Obviously there are more people responsible for poor performance than just the coach (players, assistants etc etc) but the buck stops at the coach. He's not the first and certainly won't be the last to have this experience.

    Probably because the majority of people are smart enough not to go into a thread with the title of something they care little about and post something completely useless.

    So bummed about the bombers, would've been amazing after the last few weeks if they could've knocked adelaide off. Feel bad for Lade, poor guy tried as hard as he could to pay back the club and just couldn't do it. Walking out before the end of the match shows how badly the must've felt.

    Definitely made the right decision in not coaching the rest of the season.

    You mean Primus?

    Does anyone here think Essendon are in real trouble of missing out on the finals?

    The only team I can see moving Essendon out of the 8 is Freo, but both teams have tough games.

    Essendon
    --------------
    North
    Carlton
    Richmond
    Collingwood

    Fremantle
    --------------
    Adelaide
    Richmond
    North
    Melbourne

    Yeh meant Primus haha whoops.

    Essendon, Fremantle and North have the same win/loss and a very similar draw

    North

    Essendon
    Collingwood
    Fremantle
    GWS

    So should be very interesting, i'm not too sure but just hope we do make it. Apart from the last month we definitely deserve it.

    Yeah I just read that. Tippet is talked to go to Brisbane now that they aren't paying Brendan Favola. Gold Coast is also after him. But be isn't out of contract so will have to be a trade. I'd take Tippet over Cloke any day.

    So, guess its time for tips:
    West Coast v Geelong by 20
    St Kilda v Melbourne by 33
    Adelaide v Freo by 39
    Gold Coast v GWS by 39 this should be the coasters first home win!
    Sydney v Collingwood by 11
    Carlton v Brisbane by 9
    Hawthorn v Port by 149
    Richmond v Doggies by 49
    Essendon v North by 4

    Should be a couple of close games and then theres Port....
