I like those two, and we may be on the right path there, but neither set a tone or standard for attacking the footy, or a will to not get beaten by your man like Morris does. The guy is an animal.

True - that's because he's hungry!!

I think he got overlooked for 2 or 3 drafts??

Some of our players should take a leaf out of his desperation book.

They hired a coach who was a very good footballer and won flags at 2 clubs

[censored] footballers never make good coaches

Remind me again what Bailey and Neeld did in their playing careers? Nothing thats what

Agree ! We got it wrong not taking hardwick over bailey .... Hindsight is excellent though.

That said I still think our board / administration / football department would have wrecked what hardwick could have done.

Explain how you trade players off for decent picks when no one wants them?

We could have atleast snared a 3rd rounder for Morton and pushed real for a 2nd rounder with Gysberts. I felt we just let them go just to get them out of the club asap.

Was based more on recruiting wise. They will be top 8 this year possibly top 6 then push top 4 next year. Mark my words.

Man. they said that about us a couple of years ago.

How about we wait until Richmond actually makes the finals before we declare them the yardstick?

Remind me what sort of players Alan Jeans, Denis Pagan and even Malthouse were?

I'll give you a hint, ordinary as in not that good but put in hard.

There are about 10 flags right there.

Clearly not a well thought out, researched post.

I just think since he has taken over he has built up there list really well. Forget about all the past with the Tambliing Franklin blunder ours is just as worse.. but you gotta admire the way Hardwick has built his team. Drafting kids that are physically ready to play and plus recruits that are still young and have made an instant impact.

So what you are saying is that you are willing to give Hardwick 4 years to get it right, but Neeld only 1 and a bit, great

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
