How clean was that slate?

Featured Replies

Posted

Discussion about the leadership team has progressed way beyond this forum, and generally I hear mixed reviews. More qauestions than affirmation.

One thing we can all agree upon there is no perfect solution. And it is Neelds privilege to choose who he wants.

However he did declare that the slate was clean. I would now doubt it. Many obviously had black marks against their name from past history. The clearest example is Moloney. At the prime of his career. The lead in the engine room, spiritual motivater etc. He was one for whom the slate was not clean. His past black mark was still squarely emblazoned across his forehead.

The confusion for many is that a couple on the leadership group, got a soft entry, for the criteria must have been relatively restricted. Supporters are sick of the 'good guy' leader who is extremely limited in skills, eg. Miller.

Apart from those who have unwaivering affirmation for the limited Bartram, this does leave most baffled. Make a list of the backs or mids and it is very hard to see how he will complete the year. If he is still there by the end of the year many of our young hopefulls will not have improved as we expect.

I refute the clean slate.

I would have made different selections, as many others would. There are probably a dozen different combinations people would present. Neelds is one and his prerogative to choose. We all live with it.

Clean slate? no way.

 

Lets just say some peoples slates are cleaner than others .Still think the choice/s were good .Beamer will live with it .He's still a leader .

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
