I think it will be a statement say that the Club and players realise the disappointment and frustration of the supporters at the performance. The Club is working hard to improve those performances and is seeking the continued support of members and supporters as it develops its players.

You don't happen to work in the PR department do you Rhino? Worthy of Wordsworth!

    Why was Neitz kept? If the football department was half as competent as you, they would have realised they could have put Jeff White on the veterans list and had more room to move with the salary cap. Or perhaps we didnt want more room in our salary cap as we cant afford it, due to a number of reasons, which I wont go into.

    Who would get promoted if Neitz retired? I'd say Valenti. Therefore Neitz playing (and I use that term loosely) is not allowing us to develop our list.

    As for Holland and Robbo, Holland would be a much cheaper alternative to Neitz and more useful as a player in 2008, and Robbo had more to offer the Melbourne FC at the end of 2007 than Neitz. The leadership argument does not hold up. We've got Neitz in charge and we're 0-4. Had it been Isaac Weetra as captain we'd still be 0-4. The leadership group is a rabble and the man in charge of that leadership group has been in charge for the last 6 or 7 years, and it continues to be a rabble whilst he's in charge. A change in leadership was probably the way to go.

    So Rhino tell us all, why did Neitz continue in the first place? My argument is he did so to be the face of the club in it's 150th year. To me, that goes against everything Bailey is trying to do at the club.

    All I can think of is that it's a very long and indepth press conference and no journo's are allowed to leave to break the story until it's actually finished.

    Which makes me edgy. Long press conferences are almost never good news.

    Either that, or AFL Journos are pathetic... let's see which it is.

    Have they mentioned anything about it this morning?

    Do SEN even know it is happening?

    I would expect this sort of inept reporting by a mob like 5aa here in Adelaide....

    But not from SEN....

    Sports Entertainment Network my arse!

    They seem to entertain themselves more than listeners.

    The lack of news makes me think there is nothing going on.

    uami,

    I dont think it was a salary cap issue. I honestly believe that Neitz thought he was still capable of providing leadership and a KPP influence. And the given the Club's lack of both lead them to acquiensce to the decision. I wish we had ready replacements for both roles. We dont and the Club had a decision to make. As for Neitz I think its a case of players not knowing just when their time is up. You see it alot with cricketers and footballers. Its a smart player that can clearly understand their time is up especially after doing it for 15+ years.

    You are very knoweledgeable with hindsight now. There is no doubt that Neitz has deteriorated from last year. There is no evidence that Robbo and Holland offer any solutions to us. Robbo's continually dragged during games and must be on the edge of being dropped. We had him on the trade table and we should have traded him without doubt. He is exactly the sort of player who would not fit DB's requirements.

    The 150th issue is a furphy and out of character for a guy who has been a valiant foot soldier to the Club and not sort to be selfish throughout his career. And given that goes against what you believe DB is trying to do at the Club should make you think twice about the veracity of your speculation.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
