I think we now have a gameplan with Neeld so thats an improvement already.
Today has shown we have some good kids and the problem has always been with our seniors.(what has Davey or Green done today)
I know with the Jimma situation we were all expecting something special, but Lions are alot more experienced.(they also have Black whos a real senior player)
Its going to be another long season but I hope there will be improvement this season.
I will back Neeld alll the way!
As long as the club promises to every fan it will never once use!
The " untried coach","Give him time we are rebuilding" excuses.
We all understood the Bailey situation but its now time to, put up or shut up.
Dockers have come out and said they are demanding sucess from RL pretty much from the get go.
Weren't we saying at the start of the hunting we were going to do the same with a proven coach?
Mate sorry if I haven't come across clear enough. Green has been crap, I said that he has failed miserably this year.
I just can't understand the people saying how sacking Bailey straight away is to soon and that we shouldn't be focusing mainly on Green as he wasn't the only one out there.
He was the only captain out there and Bailey is the top of the food chain. It's how it goes. Something had to be done straight away.
Don't some people realise that when you choose! to become a leader or take a position of authority that part of the deal is that you will become the target (scapegoat) for any type of scrutiny or applause. If you choose! to be the head coach or captain, the reason why you get more scutiny and bonuses (higher pay) is because you will be the target who will have to deal with things whether they go good or bad.
If we had won by 186 points everyone would be saying how great a coach Bailey is and how great a leader Green was. So how can anybody be suprised how the blame is firstly directed at them and why they are the first to go and first to take the most abuse.
People there is this place called the real world where underperforming managers of companys get fired, Higher ranking officers in the military get demoted because of the actions of their! underlings. Its the whole reason they are called leaders!
I was all for Green being given a chance as captain because his performance last year proved he deserved it, but he has failed miserably this year. Dean Bailey I thought was a good choice at first but he has proven that he was unable to take this team to a standard that was expected this year. So Bailey was always going to be the first to go if things went bad or the first to be praised if things went great.
This does not get people futher down the chain of Lightly (I hope) but its only 1 day since the game so come on people be realistic.
What did you expect?
I really couldn't give a stuff about Scully anymore. This club has bigger problems than paying over the odds for a kid.
If he wants to stay and play for us on a wage that is ample for a 3rd year player then glad to have you. If he doesn't Bye Bye! We need money to get an AFL standard coach to this club that will win us a flag. Keeping a single unproven kid won't win us a flag anytime soon.
What is the club going to say and do about this?
Im just absolutely disgusted with this team.
There is absolutely no positives what so ever to take from this.
He has done what has been needed to the get the right kids at this club . Now we need to do what is needed to get the right proven coach to lead those kids. And sorry but mick IS! Proven at 2 different teams with premiership glory. So bad luck dean we want success not sympathy and warm feelings. Prove us different by years end? Or bye bye.
Hahahahaha Quarterbrain just made the call of the game!
"Bennell makes the eagles pay"
hahahahahaha there is 7 mins left and we are 41 points down. Way to make them pay......
Bailey will just focus on the positives, Like that great 2nd quarter performance and the fact we need to be more competitive.
After all! We are a young side, Its not our window yet, he has had only 4 years to make a difference and eagles are a great top 4 side.
Everybody calm down!
hahahahaha
Sorry guys, sarcasm is the only way I'm getting through this.
