Former NRL star Jai Arrow is set to fly back from a neurological wellness retreat in Spain to be a guest of @CollingwoodFC on Monday.
He’s also been asked to toss the coin.
Arrow was recently diagnosed with MND and is doing everything possible to find a cure and inspire others who are fighting the disease.

@theindextracker Love how everyone is now saying the 6 wins in the first 10 games means something now when last year it was all "those wins mean nothing because you've played no one"
I really find it quite pathetic that prospective coaches are being “scared away” from the process because James Hird has applied and they are exerting pressure for the club to not interview him so these gutless wonders can have a free run. Make no mistake the perceived “top liners” will NOT be entering the process unless they have been given an undertaking they will get the job. They will not just enter the “process” and hope to win because if they lose their brand is significantly diminished. James is happy to go head to head with anyone and let the club decide, unfortunately the other pussies want a more guaranteed outcome. If I was Essendon I’d welcome their application, give no guarantees and see how the interview process pans out. If they ask if Hird is going to get the nod I’d just tell them “If James Hird is the best candidate through the process of course he will…..are you doubting your credentials against his? If so you’re probably not the right person for the gig”.
What is all of this James Hird paranoia about? Personally I’d select him immediately. He’s an outstanding candidate with great experience and knowledge. Hinkley wouldn’t compete with Hird that’s why he’s taking his precious stance. Hinkley and Simpson are trying to manipulate the process. Just make a decision…..one is yes I’m in the other is no I’m not. You can’t have it both ways by saying I’ll nominate if you delete Hirds application. I’m a Hird fan. Couldn’t give a stuff about the past (which is a whole suspicious story in itself by AFL) I’m only interested in the very best person to lift the club out of the mire and return it to respect and success - and that’s James Hird.
@DonCaldwelll Not playing his role compared to past couple of seasons and the lack of cohesion in team defence generally means the majority of our players are in terrible positions across the ground
The game stops for a player with a cramp, it stops for a blood rule, a bad hamstring, someone who’s winded ….but not to absolutely make sure there’s no brain injury.
It’s not good enough. Not a medical issue, it’s a protocol issue.

🗣️ Kane Cornes on the extra motivation for an Eagles upset
Tonight might just go down in history as the day Australia as we knew it ended.
Getting ahead in Australia is about to become twice as hard.
Taking risks, investing, building wealth, the things that used to be encouraged are starting to look like they with come with a penalty.
All to keep the gravy train going while disguised as helping young people.
Disgraceful.
