they look to us for inspiration

Lyon was spot on as per usual. Understands exactly where we've improved and what our issues are....so glad that he mentioned skill level. I'm so tired of people rattling on about game plans and effort, neither of them matter if you can't handball 5 metres to a target and kick to position when you get it. We need classy and quick mids, and lots of them.

It was interesting to hear Garry talk in this case. It makes you wonder how he could have bloody chosen Neeld as coach when he shows this level of insight. He was dead right on the delistings and where we fall short (skills). He was dead right as well on the lowlight while DB made some idiotic joke about Vince's haircut.

Barrett just spouted off conventional football wisdom. I love Nate Jones but actually do some analysis, Purple. Nate has been up for 4 years running now. You aren't telling us anything new by saying he is our shining light. Some of the shutdown jobs Nev Jetta has done on some small forwards have been sensational.

What insight?

Blind freddie can see we have terrible skills. Any chump would have nominated the Giants game as our lowlight, that's not exactly 'insightful'. Picking out Blease and Strauss to be delisted is also obvious.

I'll give him credit for pointing out Jetta but that's where any 'insight' ended.

I wouldn't go that far. Most punters on the street wouldn't know half our problems. We know as we watch them every week but most run of the mill media types wouldn't know. Just see what Damo said.

Agree 'titan'

Lyon and insight are polar opposites, in fact that goes for a lot of the football media.

I thought there was 1 game left

and no way im listening to a thing that acne scarred loser Damian Barrett says

Lovely. Do you know what DL posters look like? What I might look like?

Can you please focus on DB's argument or lack thereof? Then he can legitimately be shown for the half-wit he is.

It was a reasonable appraisal for a side that has won 4 games, 66%, lost last 10 games (likely) and been humbled by fellow strugglers. GWS will get better as will the Dogs. hard to see us getting above 16th next year.

Get the footies out in November and go for skills skills and skills all summer

Holy [censored] Barrett is an absolute pea brain..

Love the bit where he says 'the body of work is what you base these things on'. Basically meaning Tyson has had one good year and questioning whether or not he'll be a future star yet somehow he knows Kelly 'is going to be an absolute superstar, lock that in'.

Completely contradicted himself in that section.

Christ I hate the guy.

Just heard Jones on SEN. The bloke is a legend a mans man and its great to have a player who leads from the front like Nietz did. I just hope he takes it one step further and breaks the premiership drought!

What most posters in D/L failed to understand is not how did garry make the neeld choice.

But WHO let garry make that choice for the football club.

Its one of the great unanswered questions.Just who gave us the idea to let garry make the choice.and how did the whole board agree to it.

    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
