Dean Bailey has been paid by Port/Essendon/whoever to make us play bad

How else do you explain:

Brad Miller in the leadership group

Brad Miller still in the team!!

Adem Yze in the leadership group

Travis Johnstone traded!!

Colin Sylvia banned for staying out late -

Nathan Carroll still in the team!!

I am so mad at DB etc.. what is wrong with these guys??? - why they didn't play a crumber in the forward line for half the game today! Why play Davey in the midfield???? He was the best half forward flanker going around 3 years ago. Why can't Melbourne ever man up!?!?!?!?! No one wanted it - there was no accountability whatsoever!!!

I feel like we are still living in the 70s while teams like Geelong have gotten their s$%t together and understand what it means to be a professional TEAM!

Anyone got DBs email address I want him to know my feelings!

 

This has nothing to do with Bailey and everything to do with the rubble of a team that idiot Daniher constructed. Green should have been traded 3 years ago, Johnstone was traded too late, Yze should have been retired by now and Godfrey, Ward and Fergason should have been delisted 2 years ago so as to make room for other players.

I blame this debacle on Daniher. He created a fire and left it to burn to the ground. I hate him. He did nothing for this club and genuinly feel sorry for Bailey as he has to deal with another mans mistakes.

 

The problem with our team is there is no accountability in the middle...the backmen can only do so much...SCARLETT and RUTTEN would have had 5 kicked on them 2day

The problem with carroll is not that he is a bad player but that he is a 2nd backman not a FB. He is not capabel of taking the first string FF and he never has been

He may be a disapointing footballer, but he has more leadership qualities than most on our list...

How else do you explain:

Travis Johnstone traded!!

Long term we are better off without him. Should have got rid of a few more is the problem...

How else do you explain:

Colin Sylvia banned for staying out late -

Lucky he wasn't banned for longer...

How else do you explain:

Nathan Carroll still in the team!!

He was never going to beat Franklin. Not many will this year. Still in our best back six...

Ask him if we have a game plan please!

Flip-side. Daniher got the best out of limited resources. We attempted a mini-rebuild back in '03. But what do you want Daniher to do? Tank?

 

Db said he had a plan - he had a good presentation apparently to get the job.

I'll wait to round 11 before I say whether he is good or bad - my only comment today is that the players weren't playing for him or the members - that what's worrying

The most dumbest post known to man, go support another team, we dont need people like you.


So you think Green should go but Miller and Carroll should still be playing?

Carrol is the kind of player every team needs. A hard nut that can get under a players skin. Granted, he gets beaten a lot, but players who are suited to playing FB and on big oppositition forwards don't need prestige skills. They need the ability to stop the forward kicking goals. We all know what he's capable of. We saw it in 2006. 2007 he was under immense pressure because the ball was so often in the defensive end. Same thing today.

Carroll around a fit Rivers and a tough Whelan and Bell is a good Carroll. Carroll when you have a hack in Miller next to him and forwards who are playing back does nothing for him. He's very underrated (but I try not to overrate him. He's not that good, either).

Dean Bailey needs to stamp his authority. No good spraying them if you play them next week. Make them earn your respect back through Sandy.

The older fellas were giving the chance to show they mean business and they showed nothing. No pride in their preformance.

And for the love of god - Chase and pressure your opponent. I played soccer and some ice hockey at a decent level and one of the messages that was drummed into me every week was - If you run hard going forwards, you better as hell make sure you run twice as hard backwards. No one did that.

I want DB to torture our players. Make them feel pain.

I want DB to say on Saturday 'Yeah I've been staving them, teasing them, singing off key. Me may mah mo, me mo ma me.'

I did notice that in the warmup it appeared that Bailey was on the phone. Does he have a hotline to the TAB or Centrebet?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

    Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
