Wasn't it the current board that extended his contract?

Right, and as you can't sack an old board that is good enough to sack the current board. But do it now. Don't wait till the end of the season.

Anyone know what's Joe doing these days?

I want to sack, in order:

- The government of Indonesia

- The department of Immigration (in its entirety)

- Everyone who works at McDonalds

- The crew of the HMAS Collins

- The airport terminal staff for Virgin Blue

All have contributed to this failure! :D

And while you are at it, get rid of all those efing interstate clubs and bringback the real VFL

.......and get rid of the Fat Controller and ArchPrick Anderson too

Add Tinney to this list (slap him first, then sack him)

I'd go further. Sack the board as well, since they hired Bailey. Sack Schwab, too much micromanaging, Connoley too. Definitely all the players.

Actually the current board didn't hire Bailey.

I want to sack the Minister for Education.

Indeed.

Many of us were praising the decision to make Green captain last year, I was one of them, and I'm not going to say it was a mistake. But he does seem to be struggling with how to play under the banner of "captain". Is it just me though, or is he being played completely differently to last year, i mean i get that our midfield stocks are taking a big hit at the moment but the way he got the nod was by playing as a forward, why change that?

On Bailey, I see very little point in sacking him at this time of year, it would only destabilise the club and serve as a distraction to the players. I think the next few weeks will be an incredible challenge for him and a real chance to prove to himself and the football world that he's not just a development coach. Good coaches can coach great players, but great coaches can make average players play above themselves.

I have heard various new captains over the years talk about their first year in charge and how it can be hard.

Their focus shifts from getting themselves set for a good game, and instead they focus on getting all their teammates up.

Often it takes a while to realise that they were made captain because of the things they were doing before they were made captain.

Not sure if that is his problem or not.

There's also the fact our team is weaker this year by virtue of injuries and retirements, hurting the team's, and in turn his, performance.

it's the wacky sarcastic one-liners that are doing it for me

nobody told me Seinfeld uses demonland

My name is Jerry..

But seriously this point has been made in the numerous posts proceeding it re Bailey's coaching and Green's leadership. And I actually agree that both should go (from their current positions), it just didn't need to be said again.

Is it just me who thinks that earlier in the season he was playing forward and could not get into the game?

the team still cant play a hole game sick of all the reasons why.

and Green not one tackle from the caption of the team when playing the Roos

All tweeters should stop tweeting and let aussies get back to work. mods should step aside for letting this thread prosper and kallioota should get some tooth piks to help open his/her eyes. what more can i say.

I'm pretty certain that MFC's recent poor form can be tracked to the covert operations of a secret cell within the CIA. Similar to the one in the Bourne series of movies. They have also been responsible Billy Brownless's mysterious hair.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
