Seekers SEECAMP

Major sponsors are worse...they boycott the club.

Those of us on this site who don't know Judd personally would be reasonable in our assessment of his character to speculate that he would assist (as oppose to hinder) trade negotiations to ensure all parties are satisfied. FWIW, I doubt he will leave WC. If he does, & with our 'touchables' as a bargaining chip, we are not a chance.

PM me then...otherwise I will take your claim for what its worth

So how do you know that? The administration ( I presume you mean the CEO, yes??), has been busy trying to balance the ledger... but the PNL statements will only get harder to manage unless we manufacture some on-field success. If you are alluding to Judd being a chance for us next year...think again. Unless he has a momentary lapse of reason, Judd would command way too much for our small purse to handle...unless we are prepared to give big time. ...and so what exactly would you be prepared to part with? And would WC be interested?? If you reply to this post, try & be realistic!

You can't, others can. Wheatley was his usual stagnant self.

& thats the way Daniher has always wanted it. He once said whats the point of being the coach if you can't pick your own side.

Paul Garner has already positioned the club on Danihers future. He will serve out his contract.

Nonsense.

What did you you see today that so convinces you we will win next week?

Don't sound so surprised..thats our game plan and we've been doing that for 3 weeks now. Unless the penny drops somehow, get used to it.

Well, you're easy to please.

"Yep, it would have been nice to see someone like Newton or Buckley or Petterd show something, instead of a whole collection of hacks show nothing" ..BUT... Not sure that would have helped our cause today..but it would have been good to see what our stocks hold for the future. Mind you,how long and often have we been saying that. The brand of football we are bringing the the table in 2007 is worrying Hack players or not, from what I saw today nothing was going to save us. We were confused, unaccountable and with no semblance of a game plan. Even if our more talented players had been out there, from what I have seen of our first 3 games I fear it would have been sheer luck more than anything else if we had got over the line. There are major issues with how we are going about our business. And its not G rated. Another Barry Crocker.

This will be the lithmus test. A high stakes decision is forecast at seasons end and will shed a far sharper focus on exactly whether this bunch has got what it takes. For now, I will hold my judgement, just as Gardner has.

March 07 Tha AFL announced, in consult with all 16 AFL clubs to do away with club affiliations with the VFL etc. "Either way, all have endorsed the idea of doing away with the farm system and of reclaiming or, in the cases of the South Australian and West Australian sides, gaining total control over the welfare and development of players from draft day onwards". The sooner the better.

Are you certain this will be the case? The rub here is we don't have the list and haven't come anywhere near resembling anything like an premiership outfit for as long as I can remember. Never have. Would be most 'un Melbourne like' to step out of the familiar surrounds and charter new waters. A modicum of credit if we win? Highly Unlikely.

And were bottom of the ladder.

And why could he?

Wasn't smartarse...offered thoughts on a few strategies to the panel (& Neale)..basically had something to offer the listener whereas the rev never does.

Clint, you must be on the "brains trust" panel at Melbourne?

A picture paints a thousand words. The eND

Which begs the question as to why he was allowed to return to the field again after the initial injury??? Things just keep getting better.

Farnkly, I don't think he handles the media at all well. But yes Dappa , I'll join you in the ticker tape parade should the day come.

Maybe youre right...and I can see youve psyched yourself out of the game before a ball has been kicked too.

Yep, La La Land. Its a lamentable scenario eh Finks..we have had 10 years under the present coach to develop a list and be a capable force and yet today we still find ourselves rehashing ancient plywood and squabbling over the mental fragility of our teenage future. La La land indeed.

A second too long dappa. Balme was well liked too...even by the one and only Garry the great- hmmm. ..infact so much so Lyon hurled a major league hissy when Neil's head rolled from the block straight to the basket. But the meat in the sandwich here is simply that he could not coach! Who the hell are JB and Brown to the Mfc anyway? and what would they know? and I doubt Newman would bag the Rev straight to his face. Save for mediocrity, there is no room for soft heads and warm hearts in this caper.
