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?

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
