an interesting point raised early in the thread of a chaotic style. Coaches always talk about i just want players to play their role - e.g. consistent and play within set parameters. Chaotic styles wouldnt seem to mesh with this. Still i did miss the chaos Frosty attack on the footy, although are we any worse off for not having it.

Agree Patches - lets target our needs

i rate fitness coaches as critical to success and this guy is one of the best. I too thought he was only one contract for one year and thought it must be a lifestyle choice as much as anything (no shortage of takers). A must retain for me

Concur - their fans are furious right now so next week the Dons will deliver the best they can

its not another rebuilt - the top 6 players are fine - we need to supplement the list. Its players 7-38 that don't do enough. Savvy drafting and recruiting is what we need.

he did leave 24 years ago. If he has the fire to still do it - it would be great to have him back

Best thing ive read on Demonland for a long time - thank you

My view - we have a very good top 6, after that, it drops off considerably, hence our inconsistency, multiple changes each week. Finalists bat way deeper than us

Why i started following the MFC - this man alone

couldnt care less where the GF is. We will win it whether it is in Melb, WA, Qld, Barbados, Alaska.

looks to have the goods in a key role in modern football - enjoying watching him

Totally agree. Unfortunately I think he played for the opposition on Saturday - Brad Hill

Bigger name teams doing well= more $$$. AFL current financial situation means $$$ is more necessary than ever. However, it will make our triumph more gratifying

Next I want the Jack Watts V Nik Nat debate re-opened

Clarko factor

3 games in 9-10 days. We have depth, lets use it wherever its required. Want fresh players playing manic football. Maybe its time for Hunt

3 Saints defenders couldn't stop Trac or the ball going over the line. Incompetent at the upmost - move on

Proposed (actual) list sizes next year doesnt help. No outright to Dom and Dunn, though appreciate the service. Watts is intriguing as he is skillful, then again laconic so it would take approx .5 games of him being back for DLand to blow up.

I agree, Chunk wont push to go on if he feels he is gifted games. That saidJones has carried the team for so long, if the right talent is around him and he is fit and mentally ready, it would be great to see him hit 300

Dogs result puts us back in the finals picture. Got a good feeling

As covered by others, seems like he may have challenges in team environments. We dont need that

played our GF 2 weeks in a row V Hawthorn

This kid leads up well and would create real scoreboard pressure - to the backline he goes. Modern coaching, i dont get it

Not that i want to start a sack the coach view - however this is a constant perspective and most damming assessment - no plan B. in my experience plan A alone works no more than 25% of the time with an average line-up - 50% if you have a premiership contending line-up and 66% if you are elite.
