In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Was emphatically shot down by all the clubs though so maybe there was nothing to the story.Tom Bell and Tom Hickey.

There's probably something to the story. Anything that comes out is tip of the iceberg.

Better, I hope. I'll put my hand up and say I haven't watched much of our pre-season as I've been busy, but the general consensus is that the gameplan is a heck of a lot better than under Sando, with less reliance on handballs and greater overall intensity. Tex Walker at captain is a great choice.@Flying Fox How do you think the Crows will go under Phil Walsh?
Speaking of Sando, anyone see this effort in News Limited? It's a credit to him not using the Trigg/Tippettgate saga as a cop out. His tactics towards the end of last season were fecking stupid sometimes, but looking back on it, he had an absolute horror run of circumstances around him.

I think Dangerfield will go to be honest. Think Sloane will stay though, which is big for Adelaide because I think he is a brilliant player. If Adelaide got Aish then I wouldn't be too fussed about losing Danger if I was them. For me Dangerfield is so overrated it isn't funny.

Considering the players that Adelaide have lost over the last few seasons he would have had a great case.Better, I hope.

- Nathan Bock (since retired) - gun CHB and arguably the best in the game at that point in time
- Kurt Tippet - big KPP who can also trundle around in the ruck
- Jack Gunston - best third-tall in the comp? Either way he's a quality young player who is on his way to becoming an elite forward
- Phil Davis - gun CHB who could potentially become the best in the comp within the next few seasons
Put the last three back in the Adelaide line-up and they are looking golden.
Anyway back to Sando - I heard he was doing some dirty work, sleeping with a board member's partner or something like that.

Dangerfield to Geelong looks certain (although I hope we can jump in somehow) to happen.I think Dangerfield will go to be honest. Think Sloane will stay though, which is big for Adelaide because I think he is a brilliant player. If Adelaide got Aish then I wouldn't be too fussed about losing Danger if I was them.

Sloane is far more likely to stay atm. Is making all the right noises to indicate he'd be stayingI think Dangerfield will go to be honest.

Will be interesting to see if Collingwood make a play for Dangerfield. With Beams gone and them cutting a few other senior players the last few seasons they might have some cap space.
Dangerfield will be 26 next year i think. The prime of his career and he'll want to spend it at a club he thinks can win a flag. I don't think Collingwood can offer that. Geelong i think would be favourites.

I agree, Geelong definite favourites. I just think Collingwood will certainly have a look and see if they can get him.Dangerfield will be 26 next year i think.

In media news, Nick Maxwell has joined Channel 7 and will be the boundary rider on their Sunday afternoon coverage working with Bruce McAvaney and Leigh Matthews on Sunday when the Crows host North Melbourne. Got a hunch Carlton will improve this season. Think they can sneak into the 8.

Maxwell was decent on 7 before hand so it could be good.
However Brian Taylor, Dickhead Darcy, Hamish and Basil can all feckoff.

Imagine if 7 keep the rights for 2017-2021. Dennis will be retiring at the end of next season, Bruce is getting on too.That leaves BT, Hamish and Basil left - it'll be pretty shit.Maxwell was decent on 7 before hand so it could be good.

It will indeed.Imagine if 7 keep the rights for 2017-2021. Dennis will be retiring at the end of next season, Bruce is getting on too.That leaves BT, Hamish and Basil left - it'll be pretty shit.
Hopefully 9 or 10 can get some games.
Can't see 9 bidding - they seem to only care about the NRL. 10 have the rights to Wallabies internationals on Saturday evenings plus the motor racing so it might be tricky. The Lions game is on 7 on Saturday night. feel they have a chance against Collingwood.It will indeed.
Hopefully 9 or 10 can get some games.

I agree wholeheartedly. Maxwell is great, but the others need to be put down.Maxwell was decent on 7 before hand so it could be good.

They should be if they have the cap room, they'd be mad not to. Swan has two top season's left (unless he continues to regress like last season), and they have a huge Beams-sized gap in their squad which can easily be filled by Dangerfield.Will be interesting to see if Collingwood make a play for Dangerfield. With Beams gone and them cutting a few other senior players the last few seasons they might have some cap space.
Any team would be after him really.

Both teams look pretty average. Little runs of momentum but nothing too impressive. Some of the kicking/decision making has been poor. Maybe I am just spoiled as a Hawks supporter though.

Outside of the top 5 teams most kick very badly.

Demons top of the ladder. Just give them the premiership now then.
They actually came from 40 points down to win by two goals. 10.12 72 to 8.12 60.Wtf is happening to the Swans?

Crazy that Essendon let them back in there, especially in those conditions too. They really should have shut that game down and held out.They actually came from 40 points down to win by two goals. 10.12 72 to 8.12 60.
I was thinking Sydney were mentally destroyed by Hawthorn last season during this match, but fair farqs they did very well to come back that hard.
I put it down to fatigue from Essendon. Buddy and Kurt Tippett really came good in the last term. Collingwood's pressure too much for the Lions so far.Crazy that Essendon let them back in there, especially in those conditions too. They really should have shut that game down and held out.
