Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
I feel like surely a big part of what makes a succession plan work is simply the outgoing coach feeling legitimately like its time to move on and the incoming coach being really open to a bit of extra mentorship. If you got an outgoing coach that is being pushed out or an incoming coach that doesn't like the idea of their hand being held in any way then you're gonna have a bad time.

I think he'd be potentially a real good pick-up as an assistant if he was open to that as a way to a gradually retire?

Counterpoint, he lasted almost a month not being the clear person in charge, that’s pretty good going

Only St Kilda would end up worse off despite nearly 80% time in F50 and the opposition down to makeshift ruckman.

They have dropped their bundle and dont deserve to play finals.

Lucky Hurn has already signed, because it would probably cost them a shitload more to get him to keep playing with this lack of effort by everyone

Somehow I don’t think putting Viney on the stand was a great move by the defence

Viney says he was trying to "deescalate" the situation by holding his elbow on Collins.

Viney says that Collins was telling Viney to hit him and Viney said 'don't try me'.

Viney says he doesn't feel his conduct was unsportsmanlike.

all from https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/te...d26a512cf227f17

Clearly the superior defence would be to change his name to Selwood and walk away with a written apology from Michael Christian for the inconvenience

Viney is apparently too stupid to tell the difference between the jaw and the throat. Should've just given him four weeks just to protect him from himself when he tries to put his shoes on.

But no, let a player act like a oval office in a dangerous way and then give them half of what similar cases got because *confused fart noises*

Agreed, really not sure why that was what the AFL went for. still two weeks more than Selwood got for gouging two players eyes, then stepping on one of them and drawing blood in the one game.

Taylor Walker allegedly used a racial slur when talking about an opponent in the team huddle of an SANFL game, leading to several players and officials from his own team reporting it.

If he did it then yeah, make an example of him. He's a senior leader at the club and captained them for years, just completely unacceptable.
