Does anyone know what Mark's contract reads? Is he up for grabs next year?

This man gets the most out of what his got, week in, week out. I for one would love to see what he can do with the full senior list at AFL level.

I would have thought the experience of 3 flags in a row earns him a chance. I believe the best coaches get the most out of what they have, and he has proven he can do that. He changes things up in games when things aren't going Sandy's way with more positive results than negative.

I know most people want champion AFL players to coach AFL teams, but I think it comes down to a charismatic respected human being with a brain, and a proven resume.

...it's funny, coz I think I know where you're coming from, it's just hard to focus and take it seriously when below your text is that graphic of one of the saddest stories so far for 2007.

The artist of that graphic is talented, just a little disturbed.

what you mean saddest stories of 07?

....Brown coming to terms that he won't be able to play footy again, is currently the saddest story for 2007. Celebrating that break in a graphic is tasteless IMO.

It's Celebrating 'Whealen the Wrecker' and the little hardness still left in our game, you must be more of a Cameron Bruce person.

Err. Whelan fell on his leg, there's nothing hard or tough about that, it was just a sheer accident. Anyone from Rodney Grinter to Ryan Houlihan could've done that.

we'll it happened in front of me and it looked like a fearless smoother from where I was sitting, straight onto the kicking leg.

Anyway, back on topic people!

here's a thought, if you're celebrating Wheels' selfless act of smothering the footy, why not have the pre-break moment as the image?

:huh:

...oh that's right, coz you're a clown.

so now your changing your story to say it was a great smother/selfless act? not wheels falling over?

lame ones like you are why AFL is becoming a non contact sport, go play with your lippy and netball skirt keeping yourself out of this thread, its not about me.

Thanks for the entertainment BIGPOND. I've had a busy morning dealing with the real world, so your hit and miss put a smile on my face.

If anyone here can point out where in this thread I had "a story", i'd appreciate your view.

As far as I can see, I have only commented on the strength of the artist's drawing, but was bemused why it chose to highlight such a graphic and sad moment in time.

I have always viewed Wheels as a selfless hero... and still think that if you saw him as that too, an image of him midair diving on the footy would make a better point than the image you have chosen, which clearly focuses on the pain and suffering Brown is going through.

....so back to my first point, it's hard to take you seriously.

it was nasher who said 'fell' not finks bigpond. also im interested to know, do you think wheelan meant to fall across his leg (and break it) or do you think he meant to smoother the ball and the fact that he fell was an accidental part of the play?

what finks is saying is that the smother was the courageous selfless part of the play. wheelan smothering the ball at physical risk to himslef was tough. but your picture indicates that wheelan got sadistic pleasure out of watching nathan brown sitting there injured, when in fact wheelan is the one who flagged attention to it and tried to get the medicos out there...

celebrating hard footy is one thing, deriving pleasure from someone elses pain is a bit strange...

Gary O'Donnell!! Mathews right hand man for the last 7+ years. Also if he could bring Voss on as the midfield coach, that would be a huge plus (haven’t been happy with the skills and direction of the mid field under Williams, not saying its all him but we did see immediate results when Ratten came in, was hoping for the same under Williams)

Nathan Buckley would be ideal, he is a true leader of men and one of the best football brains going around.

he is still on the pies list! to be honest im not sure you want someone first year out of playing...

and out of interest, do we need to keep the traditional coaching structure? has anyone thought of a coaching panel who work together? could that work? we could have a tactics and match day coach along with the others rather than a head coach. does anyone think this sort of set up could work? or a case of too many cooks spoil the broth?

    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,
