Interesting observation - goes to show that Macrae is a relaxed character who is comfortable with people. Not sure the previous coach was like this. Certainly the style of footy is much better nowthink positive wrote:when i went to training in january, the atmoshpere was so so different, so much happier, so less stressful, and i reckon that thats the way we played last night, with a bit of freedom to take a chance and not be regimented into following that awful $@&^# gameplan! we even, heaven forbid, went straight down the middle!!!#26 wrote:Nice work, P4S.
Sidey was asked about the changes at the club in his post match interview last night and he said "I'm happy now"
I've also heard a few people say that the players are enjoying having license to play with more freedom. Sounds like some of them found the previous set up a bit stifling.
onya sidey, you stuck it up em!
Daicos, impossible angle ... Goal!

I got 2 words for ya: Carson Wentz. So save me your tales of quarterback woePies4shaw wrote:It's a matter of perspective, I guess. My NFL team has just given a $50 million per year contract to a 38-year-old quarterback who simply doesn't play in the pre-season, apparently because it's beneath him (as, one might politely say, it plainly is). Yet, here we were, apparently wondering - in all seriousness - whether one of the most-decorated and longest-serving players in the history of our great club is worth a game ahead of someone else, merely because the great didn't turn it on against Hawthorn in early March.
In what serious conversation are the words "quarterback" and "Carson Wentz" used in the same sentence?Ronnie McKeowns boots wrote:I got 2 words for ya: Carson Wentz.

Agree but if he has a blinder of a season, the club may consider another extension. It is up to Sidey to impress and let his footy do the talking.Piesnchess wrote:He may, but he needs two seasons id say, not sure if hes up to another yr after this one.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

He averages over 20 games per season. He's already reached 265 games playing just 11 games in his first year as he broke into the side and only playing 9 games when he struggled with non-injury issues in 2020. He turned 31 last January.
He'll likely be on 285 games or so by the end of 2022 if he keeps form and fitness. From there, he only needs to play another 115 or so games in 6 seasons.
He'll probably give it away long before then (if he knew the rubbish people would post about him on Nick's, he would probably have retired before round 7 2009) but he could comfortably do it by age 37.
It is easily possible that he could comfortably pass Tony Shaw and move into 2nd place before the end of 2024, though (he's 48 games behind). Not much point wondering about whether he'll catch Pendles because Pendles will probably play until he's 50.
