Memo Peter Jackson - Do something about this list

[Soidee 1,496]

Non competitive , can't run, do not spread, lazy, cannot kick goals!!!!!!

Sub standard bunch of footballers......with big pay packets

How the hell do you expect people to turn up to games?

How the hell do you expect members to sign on again?

Stuff me...this is farcical for supporters of this club.

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Viney and Tyson can't get to 100 games fast enough

we should sue Barry Prendergast, Craig Cameron and Cameron Schwab

[KC from Casey 7,072]

The first thing he has to do is bite the bullet and make another application for draft assistance.

If the rule allowing for this is on the books then forget the politics, we need to apply because its plain to see that after eight years, we qualify and we need to take advantage of every legally available means to help our recruiting people improve our list.

Watching Casey struggle today against a team that has decided to fold at the end of the year merely reinforces my viewpoint that we are being held back by a poor list that lacks depth and strong measures need to be taken.

now that is a court house Gallery i would attend.

Completely ruined an AFL Club...We members are stuck with it.

we'd have more of a case than Essendon v ASADA

Of course, let's keep blaming people who haven't been around for almost two years and longer.

Time for the people in charge to do something positive about our current situation.

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

If Roosy is unwilling to sign on for longer than another 2 years we mIght have to consider our position, he's a great coach, but geez who here would potentially be willing to hand this list over to an untried coach as soon as the end of 2015?

I reckon an experienced coach as successor might be the sensible option

[Little Richard 6,263]

Our list this year is a vast improvement on what it was last season. Now that is sad, but it is progress nonetheless.

until the list they were given is radically turned over it will be impossible to move forward.

That is the point.

All 3 of those incompetent twats crucified the MFC....but there's more

I am just over excuses for this list. One cameo win every few weeks does not do it for me anymore, I just am dismayed at the sheer lack of talent on our list...it is beyond my tiny brains comprehension

I think the first thing PJ needs to do is sign on for the long haul himself and then get Roos to commit for at least another couple of years.

Absolutely spot on!!! Members know our list is worthless ..we need Roos and Jackson to stay on for our own sanity

But do they?

I'll play the devils advocate here but when people were calling for Neeld to be axed there werent alot of people refering to the list and I hold that he left it in better shape than he inherited it.

Unless these guys are in it for the long haul we will be back at ground zero in a couple of years when they leave the building with fat wallets. You can't have success without stability and you can't have stability when 2 of the key pillars are on foundations of sand. One of the other pillars (Bartlett) is still an unknown quantity and has been conspicuous by his invisibility. The only time I've heard from him publicly he made the club a target of ridicule. He may have been taken out of context but still thats what occurred.

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

We need PJ & Roos to be a part of the club for at least a decade. Big call, but it's going to take that long.

I hope they have known it for a long time.

As I have said all along, it's 90% recruiting and 10% development.

Time for brave decisions

we need this to look and feel like a totally different side in 2015

players like Watts and Grimes being on the trade table is not out of the question imo

Grimes is one of the weakest players I've seen, not courage wise just physically weak. Eat a [censored] steak for christs sake.

He is far smaller since he broke his collarbone.

I doubt Grimes will be put on the table. But Watts should be. I doubt it though, because he is clearly a pet/favourite of Roos.

As good as he is Roos, you cannot deny the size of his ego. He would hate to admit he got it wrong backing Watts 100%.

Maybe we could Package both Watts and Toumpas for a Mark Neeld special (pick 88)

I'd offer a really good contract to Dangerfield or Boak to come home to Melbourne, talking 6 years, over a mil a year and offer pick4 and Toumpas as the trade, both free agents at the end of next year, if the club thinks they might leave they just might consider it, and the players are Victorian, an offer like that to come home is always worth looking at

Let us put today in perspective. Geelong are coming off ( and still contain) elements of possibly the best team seen in the AFL. Our bllokes are coming off the floor. I notice that in the 3 word assessment failed to take in : * The quality of ball coming into the forward line * The pressure on our backline ( I cannot accept that Frawley was disinterested as alleged ) nor can i accept that Grimes is a liability. At this moment some people are too intent on consistenly scapegoating Grimes, Garland ,Frawley ( because of ....) and Mc Donald. Consider we contained Geelong to near enough 100 points today, which is a huge improvement on recent times. Need to keep things in perspective when playing top 5 sides.

You know you are going to get some flak and scientific babble on the steak comment 'Gonzo', but I'll get in the trenches with you on this one. He needs to be a lot stronger and be able to hold his ground and I can't see how being a veggie is helping him. Some things just make sense...

It is what it is. Change will come, but incrementally.
