Given Fremantles pathetic history up until that point, it was an achievement..one which DB is unlikely to emulate, ever :( !

A reasonable chunk of people thought we were likely to make the eight this year. (I didn't).

Ironically, we're eighth right now but most of them have jumped off that bandwagon.

OK, you get a medal. Happy?

In case you missed it, my point is that for all the 'THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING' talk in general on Demonland since Thursday, and the specific suggestion that DB will never take a side to finals in particular which I quoted, we're eighth right now.

(By the way, you've got rocks in your head if you think I'm happy that we're struggling, or that I'd prefer not to make the eight).

Chris Connolly is a great Man to have in our club. He does bleed Red & Blue, but he is not the Coach we need right now.

If Bailey is to be replaced we need a seasoned hard coach from outside, who has the ability to choose his own assistants.

Rogue sorry for the sarcasm but it is May 2nd

the finals are decided at the end of August.

Hope you are right and if we make it post this reply for all to see

I will of course say how clever you are.

Until then OD

You 'hope I'm right' about what? It seems you're still missing the point, as you seem to be implying that I made some assertion that I didn't make.

In case it needs to be made bleedingly obvious, I never argued that being eighth now means we will be eighth at the end of the season, so if that's the implication you're making then I suggest you read my posts more clearly (if you care about accurately representing them, that is - if not, continue as you are).

(For the record, I'm [still] not suggesting we are likely to make finals).

I agree- but it is Chris that has to stand up now as GM of football- he has to either unite or axe.But he has also got to stand up and say something soon IMO.

Wow. He made the finals. Once. Spiffing.

Not that I want him to coach Melbourne, but he got them to the finals in '03 and (of course) '06 where they beat that team we all hear so much about.

Sure Chris has an important role to play at the MFC right now, Very important, but it is not coaching as the thread title implied.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
