    And on the coaches votes, Errol blitzed it coming home but an interesting sidebar to the final three games - Datolli got a vote in both the Port and Norf games. Sometimes, you just know.

      The big question is who takes over from Mark McViegh for the remainder of the season....

      I say throw Kirk in. He will instill a hard nosed dogged approach...which we will need in spades.

        Depending on how our VFL side goes this weekend, Malceski could step in to take on the game day duties for the remainder of the AFL season. That may not be possible if the VFL side makes it through to the next round of the finals.

        We coped with one fewer coaching staff last season, so I suppose there is some scope to spread activities around. For instance, I don't think Goodwin has line duty responsibilities on game day so he might be able to take up some slack. I imagine Kirk's current game day role is pretty important. He might be harder to replace in that role than McVeigh in his.

          Paddy McCartin helps out with ressies so maybe he could help . It did seem a bit strange to me they released McVeigh immediately

            Godwin’s the one who currently sits in coaches meetings and match committee so he’d be the easiest to slide in seamlessly

              Was a collective decision between McVeigh, Cox and a few of the other senior staff member. There was an article about it somewhere I read this morning - McVeigh basically said he felt uncomfortable potentially waiting 6 or 7 weeks to get started with the Bombers.

              I think its the best call for all - McVeigh is going to need all the help and time he can get with that snake Hird sitting behind him, waiting to pounce.
