    Rocket got the head coach position in 96, the year after Plugger’s first season at the Swans. Plugger was effective under Eade’s style averaging almost 5 goals a game. His comeback in 02 after retirement was bizarre...

    @Siam so, the story I’ve just read as he claims he wasn’t that drunk...he just always takes his pants off before going to the bathroom...but opened the front door instead of the toilet door and ended up outside and thought it was easier to try and walk home than get back inside, hence why the cops picked him up walking down the road with no pants and had to drive him home 🤣

    It's pretty weird hey. Especially because he seems like such a level bloke, and has been squeaky clean for as long as he's been in the league.

    If it was some 21 year old greenhorn you'd understand it, or a renowned pisshead. And Eddie's explanation makes it worse - 'who among us can say they've never gotten so blind they've confused the front yard for the toilet, locked themselves out and then attempted to walk home half naked in the freezing cold morning'.

    Speaking of Eddie, he’s given an impassioned plea right now on Fox Footy about keeping the season going, keeping positive, stop the doomsaying. Pretty good from him.

    My two takeaways from last night: Carlton are a decent team, and the Saints are a good team. Should be pushing the top 6 I reckon.

    @shark nah he's right. Rocket started in the mid-90s

    Part of the plan of the flood was to free up space for lockett.

    Yeah but the point is Eade started the flooding tactic and in the early 2000s his teams were crap.

    If it's at Metricon, and we are allowed to travel, I'm going. Free accommodation at the in-laws flash newly built house over there. Good times.

    A bit better. But a win that comes at the expense of injury. Can't get a break.

    Yeah did look a bit better but the injuries picked up are significant to a team already struggling , plus 2 that arent going into the hub because of wifes expecting babies , so that could be 6 or 7 out

    Nice to pick up a win but not too much to get excited about

    If the Dees when they got a roll on had just scored another goal, to get within two majors, it may have been a different story, but never mind. At least we're competing.

    The game was there for the Dees, but I thought Richmond actually lifted to a level that has been rarely seen this season. Not a slight on Melbourne, but they looked hungry and were determined not to lose this one.

    Yep agree with that. They looked like recent premiers in the last ten or so.
