SPIKE IS OUR MAN!! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark McVeigh is officially our new coach — but how do we feel about it 24 hours later? Coops and Pete unpack the fallout from the appointment, including their initial disappointment that James Hird missed out, concerns about the compromised candidate pool, and the awkward way Hird apparently learned of the decision.

Read excerpt
Coops and Josh break down the wreckage: Ridley and Robey injuries gutting the structure, questionable calls on Mackay and Blackiston, and a defence that couldn't lay a glove on Hawthorn's ball movement. There's praise too — Dyson Sharp's leadership and Caddy's grunt stood out in an otherwise brutal day. But the real story is what's coming. The coaching search is down to four — Hird, McVeigh, Davis, Graham — with Dean Solomon still lurking as the wildcard who hasn't said yes or no. Coops and Josh
